London, Jan. 1.-THE Daily Tele-
graph has the following, dated January
0. from F'rere Camp:
"a heavy storm has been raging all
night, and there is every prospect that
1t will continue. The roads are i'm
passab Bile, and the rivers and spruits
are full.
There has been no firing at Lady
smith or Colenso. Trenches must be
filled with water. The Beers are hold

certainly quite isolated, as their bridge
over the Tugela must have been car
ried away"

THE SECOND OLDEST CITY OF
VIRGINIA.

THE SECOND OLDEST CITY OF
VIRGINIA.
Williamsburg. Va, Jan. 12-Wil-
liamsburg. the second Oldest city In
Virginia, is waking up from her leth-
argy OF the past two hundred years.
Her citizens are now up and doing.
Recently, through the efforts OF the
local paper, n Business Mems Associa-
ton was organized, and it promises to
be of much benefit to this city. Every
live business man in town has become
n member. and all are working with q
Will for the upbuilding of the city.
1t Is asserted that local capitalists in
the spring propose TO build railroad
from Williamsburg to Yorktown, and
thence to jamestown, thus opening up
and developing very valuable farm
ing section which has hitherto been
greatly Handicapped for the want of
railroad. 1t is not unlikely that before
another year has passed several good
factories Will be in operation IN this
city employing several hundred hands.
The excellent climate and rich farming
lands have induced number of North
ern farmers to come South and locate
In OF near williamsburg, while many
more will come during the coming year.
William and Mary College. located in
this city. and the oldest educational in
stitution in the South Is also enjoying
the prosperity which has recently been
noted in this section. The outlook for.
the old college was neve. brighter.
Her past record and preser, reputat ion
has brought to her halls more students
this year from other States than Mt my
time during the 207 years she has been
in operation. Next year quite n number
of Northern students are expected to
attend, while the extreme South will
also send its quota. At present there
are students from Florida. Georgia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania. New York.
South Carolina and the District of CO.

st. Johns. N. r., Jan. 81 a. M
The wreck and burning in st. Mary's
bay of the unknown two-masted
steamer. with Its crew of probably
sixty, and possibly some passengers, all
perishlng,-i is one of the worst marine
disasters in this section for 4 consid-
cradle period. There Is not the slightest
prospect that any soul aboard escaped
death. as the intense mid-winter cold
would kill any who escaped drowning
The Inflated vessel was of nearly 5000
tons burden. She went ashore before
daybreak Thursday. striking a ledge at
the foot of the cliff, where escape was
hopeless.
The crew launched the boats, but
probably during the panic some We're
crushed against her sides, others being
swamped, and all the occupants appar-
emily perishing.
The ship was seen to be afire by resi-
dents six miles away. Attracted to the
scene, they found the after half of the
wreck blazing freely. and the forepart
under water. Kerosene in the cargo
helped the blaze.
THREE MDN LEFT.
h AT that time only three men were
Y1eft on board. Two were on the bridge
and one was In the rigging. Those on
the bridge were safe until about 2 d.
m. when they were washed overheard
and drowned, the bridge being carried
AWAY. The survivor soon after left the
rigging. swan to the rocks and twice
endeavored to get a footing. Failing
in this. he made his way back to the
rigging, where he died of exposure dur
ing the night Many dead bodies are
visible tossing in the surf. Two of
them, thrown UP in n cove cannot be
reached owing to the heavy sea. One
IS thought to be that of Il woman
Boats and other wreckage are strewn
among the rocks for miles. Yesterday
(Frlday) was more stormy than the day
before. and it was impossible to reach
the wreck. which has gone to pieces
TO such an extent that it has sunk be-
meath the waves. A severe gale is rag
ing tonight, which is likely to reduce
her to fragments.
The wreck commissioner hopes to be
able to obtain her name to-day (Satur-
day.)
Residents along the shore made every
possible effort to rescue the survivor
in the rigging but lacking proper out
fits they were unable to succeed.
SHIP HAD PASSENGERS.
"A messenger who has just arrived
from Peters river, reports that trunk
filed with women's clothing has been
washed ashore there. as we'll as a gar
ment which is either waterproof
cape, such as used by a woman, or a
mans overcoat Nearby was found
some underwear evidently a. mans
marked with the initials ~. J." This
seems to indicate that the ship had
passengers.

BALLOT REFORM MOVEMENT
Received Endorsement of Baptist
Ministers Yesterday.

At yesterdays meeting of the Alb
ington Baptist Minister'S association,
held in the Penn Avenue Baptist
church, an address was made by AL
bert Il. Turner of Philadelphia, as
sistant secretary of the society, for
the promotion of Ballot reform. He
spoke at some length of the absolute
necessity of ballot reform in this state
and the movement which he +. Jre-
sents received the hearty and unani-
nous endorsement of the clergymen
present.
Mr.. Turner's idea is to organize an
auxiliary committee with headquar-
ters in this city. This committee
would then sound the various candi-
dates for the legislature in Northeast
ern Pennsylvania as to their attitude
on ballot reform, and if they are
against 1t would endeavor to have
them pledge their support to the move-
ment.

A BIG VERDICT RETURNED.
The Ebervale Coal Company Was the
Defendant.

In the Luzerne county courts yester-
day the jury in the case of Joseph
Stevenson VS.. the Ebervale Coal com
pany ct al. returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for $32, 7OS. The verdict is one
of the largest ever returned in the
county courts.
The plaintiff charges the Ebervale
and other coal companies with pollut-
ing Nescopeck creek, upon which his
woolen mill was located, with culm and
refuse from their mines, thereby COM
pelling him to suspend business and
entailing loss of 100000, which was
the amount Of damages he claimed.
If the Supreme court sustains the
verdict it will establish a new law in
the anthracite region, namely, that
coal companies must find some other
outlet for the refuse matter from their
mines besides public streams.

Previous to the calling of the murder
trial, yesterday morning, pleas o.
guilty were taken in a number of cases.
Among the defendants who came up to
admit their guilt was George W. Will
son. alias n. Martin, alias George
Myers, the forger, captured by Chief
Robling and Detective Moir last April.
He was charged with passing bogus
checks on the Casey & Kelly Brewing
company, the Hunt & Connell com
pany, Clarke Bros, and Mortimer B.
Fuller & Co. There are, in all, six
cases against him. He plead guilty of
the first two, and was remanded tin
Saturday for sentence.
Wilson Is a middle-aged man of good
address and, according to the police,
an old-time professional crook When
arrested he wore nat containing a
Baltimore label. The police of that
city were communicated with, and in
side of week n letter was received,
setting forth that Wilson was sem
fenced in 1895 to six years in the Mary
land penitentiary for forgery, and had
been released only a few weeks prior
to his arrest here.
The record of his arrest and convic-
ton was sent along with the letter.
and when Wilson plead guilty yester-
day, it was handed up to Judge Ed
wards. Wilson was taken completely
by surprise and made a half-hearted
denial of his former conviction.
