Capture of Elon.

LONDON, May 2 A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg, dated Mon- day, says the Boers are reported to have entirely left Natal, leaving Laings Neck free. If this is true it leaves the way open for Butler to advance ioto the TransvaaI as soon as he repafrs the railroads suffici. ently to insure good communica- tions.
 Roberts is still at KroonStadt, reorganizing hls forces.
 Bundles forces are encamped at Trommel, recuperating. A patrol four miles from Trommei was at tackled by Boers, one man wounded and some horses killed The affair was unimportant except in showing that the Boers are still in the neighborhood and on the outlook A for any chance at mapping.

course, but they are supported by certain known facts,


 certain known facts.
 On the evening before Mrs. Vada- kin's death she said to her servant that she was going to marry Reich mann, who was then in the room, so soon as her husband obtained his divorce.
 II am gong to marry him." she said, "because Mir. Vadakin has ac- cused me of wrong things, and it is necessary for p2e to do something to save myself.
 A few days before she asked Riley's furniture establishment to take back certain furniture which sae had bought. in case she should leave the city. This was agreed to. In explananation of this singular request, coming as it did after she had almost completed the payments on the furniture, she said:
 "You see, if I don't get married l am going away, but if I marry l shall still want the furniture.
 All these recent occurrences show that Mrs. Vadakin was ontemplat- ing an early marriage to Reichman.
 But it is to De presumed that Mir. Vadakin knew none of these things.
 On another occasion Mrs. Vada- kin said that her husband was bounding her, and she seems to have had premonition of evil. It is not to be doubted that she endeavor- ed to conceal her relations with Reichmann from her husbard unti after the marriage should be con. summated.=
 Did the husbard finally discover the nature of those relations, and was the reeeEt tragedy result ot that discovery?
 Capt. 0,Haver and detective Per kins say now that they have infor- nation that Mrs. Lily Yadakin, who was in Memphis, and her husband who is TOW under arrest, eommupi eated with each other by long-dis tance phone on the day before tht tragedy. Vadakln was at Torres City.
 The conversation, the officers say resulted in a promise from the err Ing wife that she would reform. I is the theory that following this promise Vadakin came to Memphis and made the trip to his wife's house to see her with reference to th' reform measure promised. Tn, tragedy followed shortly after Vad akin arrived h the city that night.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE KILLING OF MRS LILLE VADAKlN BY HER
 HUSBAND. HAS GIVEN HIMSELF UP. She Had Promised Her Husband to Retorm.-Vadakin in
 Memphis.
HAS GIVEN HIMSELF UP.

Ed. L. Vadikin, editor of the For. rest City Times, surrendered to the authorities at Memphis yesterday at 12 o'clock. going voluntarily to the police headouarterS, and is being held in custody to await judicial in- vestigation of the charge of double murder preferred against him.
 It is ascertaiued beyond a doubt that only short time before the killing Vadakin received from Mem phis letters advising him that it would not be amiss to look after the conduct of his wife.
 It is also known that on the even ing of the shooting, only few hours before the tragedy, Mrs. Vadakiu announced that it was her intention to marry young Reichmann as soon as she got 8 divorce from her hus- band
 There now seems to be little or no doubt that Vadakin was in Men, phis= the night of the tragedy. So far as the charges against him. self are concerned, they could all be dispelled in an instant by ar asser- ton from himself, backed up by reasonable proof that he was not in the city that night. But he declines to talk. Henhas retained Gen. Geo B. Peters as his Memphis counsel, and 2 D. m. tomorrow is the time that has been fixed for the hearing of the application for bond. Judge N. w. Norton accompanied Vadakin to the city yesterday morning. The Seimitar says:
 "Advices from Forrest City indi- cate that Vadakin will have the support of large number of infen- tial friends in the trouble which seems now to confront him. The entire little Arkansas city seems to be for him. He stood high in the ; estimation of the public over there, is member of several secret orders and was popular generally. The business men there have written to their friends in Memphis, of whom they have a great number, asking them to go any length toward mak- ing bond and otherwise providing for the necessities of Vadakin.
 The Scimitar reporters have been conducting a series of inves tigations on their own account. and give the following resume of the circum- stances:
 Did Vadakin have a new motive that would influence him to kill his wife which had not been given hlm during their two years of separa' tion?
 Perhaps he did, and that motive may have been that he had just made the discovery that she was un- faithful.
 All evidence goes to show that he had been visiting her regularly dur ing the period of their separation, and that at these times they occu- pied the same room and appeared to be on the most cordial terms.
 Heinever, to anyone so far as is known, assailed her chastity, and even in his petition for divorce he gave no grounds for complaint ex- cept incompatibility of temper.
 These are indications that he had never doubted her.
 If such were true, may not the disco very that she was guilty have given him desire for vengeanceY These are mere speculations of

The Situation According to Latest
 Advices.

PRETORIA, May 2l.-At an open air meeting held by local Holland CTS, 200 of whom were present, to consider the situation in the event Pretoria should be beleaguered, 3 committee was appointed to secure place of safety for women and children.
 The consul-general of Neither lands, Mr. Neuwenhuys. was asked to advise his government to take away it's subjects. One speaker said the position was most dark. The British, he decared, would be masters of the Free State and the Transvaal might would be right, capitalists would dominat, the poor would be sufferers and the Holland CTS woul4 have no chance.
 Dr. Heiman contradiets the re ports received regarding the health of President Kruger, which be says { is good. Kruger is transacting all the work of the presidency. la ac. cordance with the understanding with Gen. Botha and President Steyn, the government bas issued 8 circulr stating that should the enemy succeed in gaining position in the Transvaal and take posses sion of one or the other district, the inhabitants shall be free to decide whether or not to leave their fami- lies on the farms, but the men must remain with the commandos.
