4 SUICIDE IN NEW BRITAIN. An EngIishman, Who is Said to Have UakeM Kritish Keyerses t0 Henrt.

New Britain, Jan 2S.-James Jubb, an Engishman, aged twenty-eigh years, in fit of insanity, committed suicide early this morning in a shock ing manner. He, had been boarding with the family of Arthur Heyman on John street, and this morning, shortly after mic night he got out of bed and went onto the street clad only in scant attire. About an hour later Mrs Dan- iel McNeil, who lived at the other end of the street, heard commotion in her kitchen and. going down stairs to investigate found a man standing in the middle of the floor with the win dow sash over his shoulders and hack ing at his throat with a large carving knife. Her screams brought her hus- band and son to the scene and they grappled with the stranger, supposing him to be a burglar. They succeeded in overpowering him and summoned the police but when Officer Lamphere arrived the man was dead, It was found that Jubb not only hacked his throat horribly with a small case knife but with the large carver. It is said that he had taken the recent British de- feats in South Africa very much to heart and indulged in excessive liquor drinking

SUNDAY SKATING NOT ALLOWED. Constables Stopped 1t at Lake Whitney
 YesterdRv.

The town officials of Hamden have decided to stop Sunday skating at Lake Whitney and yesterday large force of of the lake and refused to permit any skaters to get on the ice. This winter, as in previous years, it has been the custom for hundreds and sometimes thousands of people to go out to the lake Sundays while skating lasted. This has heretofore met with no objection from Hamdenites or at least to no ob Jection to which voice was given. This season there had been no warning that Sunday skating would be stopped and a week ago yesterday a large crowd en- joyed the sport.
 Yesterday when the van of the army of skaters arrived at the lake they found posted at intervals along the shore constables, who informed them that they would not be allowed to go on the lake. Those who first arrived needed the warning but as the crowd waiting at shore stopped by Hamden's law officers was swelled by more ar rivals from the city until there were several hundred in the crowd. Then some of the more adventuresome spirits began to devise means of getting by the constables. Finally one fastening on his skates while sitting on the shore darted out on the lake. The constables at once started in pursuit and while they were chasing him other skaters went upon the ice. Finally, however, they grew tired of lodging constables and gave up skating for the day. No arrests were made.

Boer story of the Fighting.

Boer Headquarters, Modder Spruit Upper Tugela, Wednesday, Jan. "A, mid
 night, via Lourenzo Marquez, Thursday Jan 25.-Some Vryheid burghers from the outposts on the highest hills of the | Spion Kop group rushed into the laager saying that the kop was lost and that the English had taken 1t. Reinforce ments were ordered up, but nothing could be done for some time, the hill 1 being enveloped in thick mist. At dawn the Heidelberg and Carolina con- tingents, supplemented from other com mandos, began the ascent of the hill | Three spurs, precipitous projections, projections, faced the Boer positions. Up these advance was made. The horses were left under the first terrace of rocks.
 Scaling the steep hill, the Boers found that the British had improved the op- portunity and entrenched heavily. Be- tween the lines of trenches was an open veldt, which had to be rushed under a heavy fire not only from rifles, but of lyddite and shrapnel from field guns. Three forces ascended the three spurts, co-ordinately, under cover of fire from the Free State Krupps, Cruesot and a big Maxim. The English tried to rush the Boers with the bayonet, but their infantry went down before the Boer rifle fire as before a scythe. The Boer investing party advanced step by step until in the afternoon, when a white flag went up and one hundred and fifty men in the front trenches surrendered, being sent as prisoners to the head laagef.
 The Boer advance continued on the two kopjes east of Spion Kop. Many Boers were shot, but so numerous were the burghers that the gaps filled auto- matically Toward twilight they reach ed the summit of the second kopje, but did not get further
 The British Maxims belched flame, but wal of fire from the Mausers held the English back. Their center, under this pressure, gradually gave way and broke, abandoning the position. The prisoners speak highly of the bravery of the burghers, who, despising cover, stood against steady line to shoot the Dublin Fusiliers, sheltered in the trenches.
 Firlne continued for some time and then the F'usiliers and Light horse serving as infantry threw up their arms and rushed out of the trenches The effect of the abandonment of Spion Kop by the English can hardly be gauged as yet, but it must prove to be immense An unusually high pro- portion of lyddite shells did not ex- plode.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1900-01-29

Buffers retirement across the Tugela was accomplished without loss, which puts an end to the unpleasant rumors that were in circulation here and on the continent. The splendid gallantry of the men in capturing Spion Kop is read of with great satisfaction and pride. It is taken as an assurance of the ul- innate success of the British arms.
 No Idea of Casualties.
 The war office does not give any idea of the casualties in taking and holding spion Kop, but report from the Boer headquarters near Ladysmith, via Lourenzo Marquez, says that 1,500 Brit ish dead were left on the battlefield. This number is thought to include the wounded. The report also said that General Butler had been down with fever, but had recovered. If Boer re- ports are to be accepted, the aban- donment of Spion Kop wac due to the inability of the British to resist the Boer attack, the Boers carrying the first trenches and taking 150 prisoners.
 BOer Losses Heavy, Too.
 The following despatch has been re- ceived in London from Pretoria. dated January 25, via Lourenzo Marquez, Jan- uary 2S: "The government is advised that, after heavy fighting near Spion Kop some British on the kop being stormed, hoisted a white flag. One hun dred and fifty prisoners. God be thank ed, although we also had to give brave and valuable lives"

11oUon RA1D ON EAST STREET.
Patroimen Riley and McKeon Fool {
 Party in Dennis Cody's Saloon.


 Patrolmen B. J. Riley and Hugh Me- Keon of the Grand avenue station made a very successful raid last night and captured Andrew Cody, two other men and woman in the kitchen on the sec- ond floor of the saloon owned by Den- his Cody, Andrews brother, at 256 East street. Andrew Cody will be arrested to-day, charged with violating the Sun day liquor law and Andrew J. Carroll will also be arrested for giving infor- mation with respect to the doings of the police. The place owned by Cody has been kept under the eye of the police for long time, who have believed that the law was being violated. It was de- cided that yesterday should be the day and Patrolmen Riley and McKeon were delegated to make the swoop. The off, cers watched the place for considera- ble time last night and finally saw Car roll enter the building from the side. Carroll evidently knew of the move- ments of the police and hustled up the. stairs with the intention of warning his friends. Officer McKeon was just as active, however, and followed Carroll up the stairs with the celerity and silence of cat. Carroll pushed open the door and said to his friends: Look out for the spotters; I think they're on to us." 1T think we are; we're right here," said Patrolman .McKeoh, who with Patrol man Riley proceeded to raid the place. As soon as the woman saw the officers she threw all the contents of the bot ties down the sink and afterward broke them so the officers were not able to as- certain how much stock was on hand.

 The situation at other points is un- changed, but indications that Lord Rob- erts is preparing plans for an, advance across the Orange river come in des- patch to the Daily Chronicle from Storkstroom, dated January 25, which says that Thebits, an important posi- ton near Strinsberg on the Rosmead line, is now occupied by the British, who are repairing the railroad and bridges The correspondent observes that this will facilitate communication between General Gatacre and General Kelly-Kenny

WEA LTHY COTCHMAN M UIsDERED. Given Knockout Drops in New York
 Police ina the dark.

New York, Jan. 28.-David A. Mo- Cure wealthy Scotch tourist of Glas- gow, died to-day at the Homeopathic hospital Brooklyn, and the autopsy showed that he had been killed by knockout drops. Though murder was done, the police were completely in the dark as to whether he had been dosed once or twice. His head was badly bat tered and bruised and one ear was nearly torn off. He was arrested twice. too, for intoxication, though really in a sem-stupor both times, either from his hurts or the choral
 Mcclure came here from Scotland on the Tainui of the Anchor line on No- vember 27. He remained in the Man haitian hotel for time, but then went to Brooklyn to live. On Friday Me- Clure became intoxicated and he re- mained in that condition all through that day and Saturday. This morning he was found battered, bruised and un- conscious near the Fulton ferry. He was taken to the Homeopathic hospital. In lucid moment he said he had been beaten in Ocean Parkway during the early evening by three men and that they had stolen his watch, chain scarf pin and money. It was thought at first that the beating was the cause of death, but an autopsy made tonight showed that the chloral had affected the heart so that death followed. Detectives are on the case. At his boarding house Mcclure had many valuable belongings and 1t was said that he carried with him at all times large amount of money.

BRYAN'S POPULlST FRIENDS
ANNO UNCE HE WILL ACCEPT NOMI-
 NATION OF THEIR PARTY.
A Plan to Save the Party from Death
 10 Nominate Bryan First and Then
 Demand Similar Action by the Demo-

Austin. Texas Jan. 2S.-The populists of Texas publicly announce that W. J, Bryan will accept the nomination of that party for president If 1t is rendered him. A circular letter outllng the plan of action for the coming campaign was to- day issued by Chairman J. H. Eos ter, who claims to secure his informal tion and the propositions outlined direct from the national headquarters. The circular letter is addressed to all coun- ty chairmen, and reads as follows:
 Dear Sir-You are no doubt aware of the fact that if the Bryan democracy, when they meet in national convention, reaffirm the Chicago platform of 1S96 with direct legislative plank as an is- sue, and it seems probable that they will and nominate w. J. Bryan and come irreproachable southern man, such action will be the death of our party. Should the democracy do this 1t will be only repetition of their policy, plans. and, like their advocacy of 16 to 1, short lived In view of such action on the part of this newborn democracy it is the duty of every populist who loves the pTlIClplSS UP duNOCetlSS lo iCiiu iii' aid to thwart the destruction of his par ty.
 "A plan has been suggested and IS being discussed all over the nation The details of this plan are in part: That when our national convention assemblies it reaffirm the Omaha platform with direct legislation as the paramount ls- sue; nominate w. J. Bryan (the assur- ance has been given by MT. Bryan's friends that he will accept the nomira- tion) and some southern populist; that the free eilver republicans will endorse the platform and it's candidates; that MT. Bryan's friends will go before the national democratic convention with demand for the endorsement of the &C., tion of the populistic convention, and it is argued that they will not refuse. In the event that they do so Mir. Bryan may refuse the nomination at the hands of the democracy This action of itself will by the democrats, signal their ut ter defeat and also that of the popu- lists, but defeat will lay at the doors of the democrats.
