TRANsVAAL WAR ITEMS.

The following from Lord Roberts,
dated Pretoria, Aug. 9, was received
on the 9TH: Harrismith surrendered
on Aug. 4. The neighboring country
seems To be quiet Kitchener is with
the force south of the Vaal river. He
was joined yesterday by strong de
tachment of Brabrant's horse and the
Canadian regiment The Beers at
tackled the garrison at Glands river on
the morning of Aug. 4. Information
was sent to Darlington, who was on
the way TO the river. Ian Hamilton,
who reached Rustenburg yesterday, re-
ported hearing heavy firing in the di-
rection of the river. Today the firing
seems more distant, which looks as if
the Glands river garrison had been re-
lieved and was retiring toward Zee
rust.
dispatch from Pretoria dated Aug.
0, contained the following: A plot to
shoot all the British officers and to
make Lord Roberts a prisoner, has been
opportunely discovered. Ten of the
ringleaders were arrested and are now
in Jail. Probably the plot was part of
conspiracy of which the attempted ris-
ing at Johannesburg was the first in
dication.
A dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated
Aug. 8, says: Hunter reports that he
made 4, lao prisoners in the Bethlehem
Harrismith district, a majority of
whom arc now en- route for Cape Town.
Three guns and 1000 horses were cap
tured, and 10 wagonloads of ammuni-
ton and 1875, 900 rounds of ammunition
were destroyed
1t is stated positively that President
Kruger is willing and anxious to sur
render, provided satisfactory promise
is given as TO his ultimate destination.
A dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated
Pretoria, Aug. IL, says: The enemy is
fleeing in front of Kitchener's and
Methuen's forces.
1t is feared by Lord Roberts that
Glands river garrison has been cap
tured by the Beers.

Nine Persons Killed by Lightning.

Nine persons, of New York, who had
decided to spend the 18th in the woods,
were the victims of a flash of light
ming. The party had obtained shelter
under large oak tree when the father
told them to seek shelter some place
else as he was afraid of lightning hit
ting the tree. Part of them ran down
little pathway under bluff and
crouched under a bush and the others
scampered to some sheltering bushes
on top of the bluff. They had hardly
hidden themselves when there was a
binding flash and crash.

water Spout at the Flats.

People who visited the St Clair
Flats on the 18th to get away from the
heat, experienced quite a warm and
uncomfortable time between 5 and 6
p. IN. A water spout was seen making
its way up the river with most dis
gusting rapidity right in the direction
of the many resorts, but fortunately
the funnelshaped cloud when within
so feet of Joe Bedore's place took a
turn and followed the river up stream.
The only damage recorded by the twis-
ter was at Grande Pointe, where a
whole row of trees were torn up by

More than 100 laborers, with their
wives and children, reached San Juan,
i. r., on the 18th, after two days of
weary marching, without food, from
San Lorenzo, n distance of % miles.
The procession, made up of all shades
and conditions, led by colored wo-
man with an American flag and carry
ing banners on which were inscribed
the words, Give us work" marched
quietly through the city to the execu-
tive mansion, where Il halt was made.
The spokesman then called upon Civil
Governor Hunt, and explained that the
object of the visit was to ask the gov
ernment to open road between Caguas
and San Lorenzo, thus enabling the
laboring classes of the district to get a
livelihood. He pointed out that at
present there was no work of any kind
in that district and that the people,
who were wholly dependent upon their
daily earnings, were without bread
and were suffering. Mr.. Hunt replied
sympathetically and promised that the
government would do all in it's power
to relieve the situation. The delega-
ton Immediately retired, well pleased
with the interview; and the procession
left the city an hour after il had en-
tered, and began the return journey.
Orders were promptly issued for work
to be begun on the road

TeefotaIists BEunders.

Some total abstainers in England,
recognizing that there are asses in
which the prompt use Of some Gsort
of stimulant is not only justified,
but peremptorily demanded, have
devised and are strongly urging the
general use of a temperance substi
tute for brandy" The prescription
calls for equal parts of tincture of
ginger, sal volatile and chloric ether.
Noting this, the Lancet points out
that tincture of ginger is almost
pure alcohol, that sal volatile is
more than three-ffths alcohol and
that chloric ether is 95 per cent al
cohol, so that, while brandy con-
tains so per cent Of alcohol, the
temperance substitute for brandy"
has 50 per cent of alcohol, and is,
doubtless, almost twice as efficient
as brandy, either as stimulant or in
toxicant. ~ &c

The settlement made by this
committee is a nul1ity and the judg-
ment may still be enforced against
Hattabaugh and his bondsmen.
The viciousness Of this system OF
compromising felonies, and sacri-
ficing the money of. the taxpayers,
is the legitimate outgrowth OF a
system Of fusing for Office without
regard to party principle and can
only arise where there is no party
responsibility and where the only
result sought for by the parties to
the fusion contract is a division OF
the Offices and of the spoils. In
the light of this most outrageous
disregard of law and prostitution Of
justice the taxpayer should again
read the following plank in the last
Democratic State platform:
eve endorse the present State
Administration, and commend l
) for it's wise and economical man
agement of State affairs in behal
of the best interests of all tn
people"
