THE PATERSON
MURDER BEING
INVESTIGATED.
Physician Who Was Called to Admin
lister to the Victim Tells How he
Found the Young Girl Dead.
FOUND LIMP AND LIfELEsS.
His information Caused the Arrest Of
the Young Men Charged With
Murder of Jennie Bosschieter.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-It Is now said
in Paterson, N. J., that the present
grand Jury will take UP the inquiry into
the death Of Jennie Bosschieter, for
whose murder McAlIster. Death, Camp
bell and Kerr are confined In jail.
Whereas statements have appeared,
tending to show that there would likely
ba delay by the authorities, 1t is now
given out that the investigation is to be
pushed vigorously. DR.. Townsend, who
refused to appear on the witness stand
yesterday, will appear at the inquest
next Tuesday night. His reason for
not answering the subpoena was an
order from the authorities to testify re-
garding the visit of the prisoners to
him on the night Of the murder. DR..
Townsend now makes the following
statement of the midnight call and his
connection with the case:
ut has been stated that the four
men made two calls at my office and
that the girl was alive when the car
riage first arrived. They came but
once, and It was then too late to render
aid to the unfortunate. I am positive
of the exact time Of their arrival, be-
cause when the bell rang at the head OF
the bed. I looked at the clock on The
mantel and saw 1t was o'clock.
Through the speaking tube inquired
the cause Of the summons and was told
that there had been an accident and
was asked to come at once. Through
the tube I asked particulars and was
met with the word that the patient was
in 4 carriage at the door. 1t was cold.
but I waited only to don bath robe
and went down stairs. When the door
was opened two men whom knew rs
George Kerr and Walter McAlister,
showed ire aside and quickly stepped
inside. Then I was told that young
woman had been hurt and both men
declared that they would carry her IN.
But without further parley I brush

 The France sank immediately. The &C., cident was due to the fact that the France turned to the right when orded to the left.

ENGLAND HAS A
 VERY DULL WEEK The Papers Taken Up With Oblt- uaries and Funerals B0ER WAR STILL DRAGS ON Everybody Who Is in Army or Had Anything to Do With It Is
 Heartily Sick of the
 Whole Thing
BOER WAR STILL DRAGS ON

London, August 12.-Ths can hardly be said to have been a lively week in England for obituaries and funerals have been talk ing the largest of the space in the news papers. Particular groups had plenty to think about. Nevertheless financiers have been busy with the American loan" poli- ticians, with the dying Parliament, and the general election prospects and society with country amusements. The South African war drags out wearisome and no news would be so welcome as that some well wisher of the Transvaal had convinced President Kruger that nothing in Europe or China will make Great Britain relax her ever-tightening grip on South Africa Everybody who Is in the army or has any, thing to do with 1t In South Africa wants to come home and Is heartily sick of the whole thing But knowing that 1t must go on to finish, the dogs of war are having some bitterness.
 The plot to kill British officers at Pretoria Is taken in England as showing the savage temper of the Boers, while the British are supposed to be doing some things which are provoking unfavorable comment. Thus the Standard prints a Pretoria despatch printed August g saying:
 Bocrs Sniped Train
 "The Boers sniped train at Bronkhurst yesterday on the line between Pretoria and Middleburg Two of its occupants were wounded. In accordance with Lord Roberts warning, all the farms were fired within radius of ten miles,"
 Even the English papers say there must be a mistake somewhere. A couple of Boers fired at military train, perfectly within their rights as warriors and every farm house within ten miles in every direction is committed to the flames.
 England is overfiowing with prominent Americans, who dominated Cowes, and are in evidence at every important race meeting and many of whom are members of house parties at historic English or Scotch places. Mrs. W. K. Nixon of Chi cago is paying a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Newcastle at Clumber. Messrs. W. K. Vanderbilt and w. c. Whitney have both been in London during the week.
 While most persons are complaining that the prices of everything are going up, the Royal Academicians are dismayed at the low prices their works are bring this year. There is long array of canvassers in the Burlington House exhibit, from which artists have parted company, for as low as 10 guineas, and many other works, deemed of merit sufficient for the royal academy, went for 75 and 80 guneas.

THE BRITISH ARMY NEAR STARVATION War Correspondent Tells Some
 Tales of Suffering BUNDLES COLOSSAL TASK His Men Are Forced to Keep Up March Weak With Hunger and Hardly
 Able to Garry Their
 Equipment
BUNDLES COLOSSAL TASK

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 London, Aug. A. G. Hales, represen- tative in South Africa of the Daily News is the latest war correspondent to attack the methods and the red tape of the British war office. He says:
 Let me tell you how our army in Africa is treated by the incompetent people in the city of London. I pledge my word as man and a journalist that every written word is true. I will add nothing, nor de- tract from, nor set down aught in malice. If my statements are proven false, then let me be scourged with the tongue and pen of scorn from every decent Briton's home and hearth for ever after, for he who lies about his country at such an hour as this is of all traitors the vilest.
 q will deal now particularly with the men who are acting under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Leslie Rundle. This good soldier and courteous gentleman has to hold frontage line from Winburg via Senekel almost to the borders of Basu. tolanda. His whole front, extending nearly a hundred miles, Is constantly threatened by an active, dashing, determined enemy, an enemy who knows the country far bet ter than an English x-hunting squire knows the ground he hunts over season after season. To hold this vast line intact General Bundle has to march from point to point as his scouts warn him of the movements of the tireless foe.
 A CoifossaI Task
 General Bundles task is colossal one, and any man would think that gigantic efforts would be made to keep him amply supplied with food for his soldiers. But such is not the case The men are abso- lutely starving. Many of the infantrymen are so weak that they can barely stagger along under the weight of their soldierly equipment. They are worn to shadows and
