Edwin Gould Says They VIII be De-
lighted to See Their Sister-Boni's
Financial Affairs.
NEW YORK, January 19.-Edwin
Gould, interviewed as to the reported
losses of his brother-in-law, Count
Boni de Castellane, in stock specula-
ton, said: I'VE have heard nothing
about any financial embarrassment of
Count Castellane, and not knowing
whether the French paper, LIE Matin,
is responsible or not, we cannot tell
how much truth is in the story that
my sisters husband lost heavily in
speculation. We expect them Satur-
day or Sunday on La Bretagne, and it
is needless to say that we shall be more
than delighted to see our sister again.
l don't know whether the children are
with them or not. In the cable mes
sage my sister did not say anything
about the babies. Their coming to
New York at this time is something of
a surprise to us, but none the less de-
lightful. for all that"

Drowned the "varmint."
Special to the Register.
CUMBERLAND, Md, January 49,
Geo. Fradiska, aged 16, employed in a
grocery store, had a remarkable exper-
fence this morning in which he came
near losing his life. He was on his
way to work when a large rat rushed
out onto the street and ran up his
trousers leg and commenced to bite
with the quickness of a viperis sting.
The boy made a vain effort to choke
the rodent, and being nearly frighten-
ed to death concluded that ne would
drown the rat by jumping into the river
close by. He plunged down the bank
and into the water, getting beyond his
depth and only saved himself by heroic
efforts. When he reached the shore
again the rat was still up his pants
legs, burt apparently l~ifeless. AS soon
as he got rid Of the rodent he hurried
home, where it was found that his leg
had been fearfully gnawed. 1t Is fear
ed blood poison will develop.

Special to the Register.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, January 49,
John M. Resley, a Baltimore & Ohio
yard clerk, aged 60 years, was placed on
trial here to-day charged with attempt
ing to murder Charles w. Galloway,
middle division superintendent of the
above road. The entire day was con-
sumed in trying to secure a jury, only
ten jurors having been secured at the
hour of adjournment. On the fifth of
this month Galloway sent for Resley
to come to his Office. A quarrel arose
about some cars when Resley shot Gal
loway twice, one bullet flattening itself
against Galloway's breast bone, the
other making a slight wound on the
arm Resley alleges self-defense. He
is a man weighing nearly two hundred
pounds, while Galloway is small of
stature. Resley belongs to a promi-
nen family and has many friends.
The case, owing to the prominence of
the parties, is attracting great atten-
ton and sensational developments are
anticipated as the trial progresses.

Gather the Fag Ends of it's Evil
dence.
NEW YORK, January 19.-The I'M
expected happened to-day in the trial
of Roland B. Molineux and the prose-
cution did not rest it's side of the case,
as confidently expected yesterday by
Assistant District Attorney Osborne.
Court adjourned until Monday, after
the prosecution had proceeded to
gather up the fag ends of the case, one
reason for the delay being the desire
of the State to have handwriting ex-
pert VIM. F. Hagan, of Troy, N. Y,

used in exhibit "F," consisting of let
tiers marked III. C. Barnet" in re-
spouse to which a western medical

Hickman had testified that Mo-
lineux hired the letter box from him
in Barnet's name, and that after doing
so he made some corrections with a
pen to a letter which he had in his
hand. The prosecution is of the opin-
ion that if it can show that two diff
ferent winds of ink were used in writ
ing this. particular letter 1t will have
strong evidence that Hickman vas
telling the truth in this particular mat
ter. This line of procedure was sug-
gested as a result of a clever examina-
ton of the witness by Foreman Mar
tin, of the jury,
DR.. Beaman Douglass being recalled
to the stand, some rather stormy pas
sages at arms occurred between AS
sistant District Attorney Osborne and
the medical man, though DR.. Douglass
appeared as a witness for the people.
! AS in his former examination, DR..
| Douglass persistently insister that his
patient, H. G. Barnet, had died of ear
dias failure and not from cyanide OF
mercury poisoning. However, Mr.. Os-
borne scored a point by showing that a
powder had been sent through the mail
to Barnet. The last witness Of the
day was DR.. Andrew Smith.

E U L
Buller-Fighting May Be Expected
Any Hour.


Improves the Position of General
Any Hour.
LONDON, January 20.A:30 a.. NJ
Every hour that Gen. Butler delays his
combined attack makes his position
stronger. Transports continue to ar
rive at Durham and fresh troops are
being sent up the line to reinforce
those in front of Colenso. It appears
that Gen. Buffers troops north of the
Tugela number at least $4,000, and
possibly $1,000, with fifty guns. His
total forces, forming a great outer
curve south and west of Ladysmith,
probably number 10000.
While Gen. Buffers forward opera
tons, which began January 10, develop
rather leisurely, the Beers appear to
be fully aware that they must meet a
| strenuous assault. Balloon observers
have roughly estimated that 10, 900
Beers are using spade and pick in
artificially strengthening positions
| which nature has rendered easy of de-
tense. u
Military critics in touch with the
war office think that news that general
fighting has begun may be expected at
any hour.
1t is not thought that one days fight
ing will settle the fate of Ladysmith,
| but rather that there will be two or
| three days of continuous fighting.

H BOER ACCOUNT
OF the Passing of the TugeIa River
Nv BuIler.

BY Generat buIler.
LONDON. January 20.-The Boer ac-
counts of the passage of the Tugela
river are given in the two following
dispatches from Commandment Viljoen's
camp on the Upper Tugela, via Lou
renzo Marques, dated January IS:
January 16-Buller's second move
was a reconnaissance in force with an
armored train and a large body, sup
ported by cannon, toward Colenso last
night. A heavy bombardment ensued
and ~thereupon the British returned,
having wounded n of our men.
No reply was made. This move
was a feint to cover extensive move
ments up the river. Kafirs on this side
of the Tugela have been warned by the
British TO leave their kraals as the fight
will commence shortly"
The second dispatch runs thus:
January 1.-THE night was I'M
broken, save for slight rife encounters
between outposts, which led to nothing.
At daybreak the enemy was located as
before. He had not brought a single
gun across the river. But from the
ridges of Swartzkop a battery and a
half of siege guns opened on our posi-
ton at 5 a. m.
THE bombardment was probably the
most frightful ever witnessed on land.
Frequently five heavy naval guns
fired simultaneously at one schanze
(entrenchment)."

LONDON, January 20.-The Daily
Mail publishes the following dispatch,
dated Thursday, from Spearman's
Camp:
1T is rumored that the Beers have
evacuated Colenso in order to reinforce
their troops here. Heavy gun fire was

Gen. Buffers order instructs the
Beers only when they lay down their
arms. 1t also instructs them to beware
of false bugle calls"

LONDON, January 19.-2:2S p. m.-
Messages from the front appear ia con
firm the general impression that events
in Natal will now o quickly, though
hardly as rapidly as tongues and pens
of the rumor mongers. There is moth
ing up to the present to support the
story that the relief of Ladysmith is
an accomplished fact, but it is learned
on excellent authority that the situa-
ton is now regarded at the war office
with entire confidence, and that the
beleaguered town is considered practic-
ally relieved, although there is nc at
tempt to underrate the danger and
difficulty of Gen. Buffers task.
Gen. Warren was actually in the Vi
cinity of Acton Homes Wednesday,
and a portion of his orce, under Lord
Dundonald, secured ali important posi-
ton westward of that place, during the
evening of January II, on the Beers
right flank, threatening the Free Stat
ers' communication with their own
country by way of Van Reenans Pass.
The British camp outside of Ladysmith
ought to be visible from there, as the
intervening country is open.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, M. p, who
has arrived at Rensburg, Cape Colony.
expresses satisfaction with General
French's disposition of his troops. He
visited Coles Kop yesterday while the
Smelling of the Beers camp was pro-
ceeding with such success that it is
announced on good authority that 16
! Beers and SO horses were killed.

1t is understood that the Imperial
yeomanry will be leavened before that
force goes to the front with consider
able detachments of experienced col
onials acquainted with Boer tactics.
1t was rumored on the Stock Ex-
change this morning that after eigh-
teen hours fighting, Ladysmith had
been relieved, and that Gen. Warren
had been killed. Nothing was OBJ
tainable, however, tending to verify
the rumor, and it had 40 appreciate
effect on stocks.
Gen. Butler has telegraphed the
war office from Spearman's Camp, I'M
der late of last evening. as follows:
Lord Dundonald. with a bo of
mounted troops, came into action this
afternoon with a force of Beers west
| of Acton Homes. After a fight he oc-
cup.ad several kopjes which he is still
holding. Field Cornet Heilbium and
twenty Beers were killed or wounded,
