Probably old News.

VIENNA, January 13.-The Neue
Freie Presse to-day publishes a dis
patch from Brussels saying news has
been received there from Pretoria to
the effect that the Beers have stormed
all the heights around Ladysmith and
that the capitalization of that place is
hourly expected.
1t is possible that the news received
in Vienna by way of Brussels from Pre-
toria may refer to the fighting of Sat-
urday last, January 6, when the Beers
captured the British trenches three
times and ~were thrice driven out at
the point of the bayonet, and to the
fact that the Beers occupied one Britt
ish position all day long, only being
driven out of it at night.

LONDON, March est is reported
from Lourenzo Marques that Pretoria is
prepared TO stand siege Of two years,
and that the Boer women, frantic at the
reverses to the Beer army, are entreat-
ing to be allowed 60 shoot the British
officers imprisoned at Pretoria.
1t is also announced from the Trans

has declined to intervene.
Again there is persistent rumor that
Mafeking has been relieved. 1t is even
asserted that the war office has received
a dispatch positively announcing tho re-
lief, but that publication OF it IL with
held because the form of the message
admits the possibility of mistake. The
war office, however, declares that there
is no confirmation of the rumor and
that no further news ON the subject isat
hand
1t seems certain that Mafeking's only
chances lie i'll relief by the column sup
posed to be advancing from the south,
or III the possibility that Colonel Baden

sortie, with view of capturing the
Boer guns at time when Commandant

was unable to go to banquet that

accepted them and has allowed his

w. II. Bannister, President, and j.
]. Brannigan, Secretary, of the Nor
gantown Glass Company, were regis
tered at the Henry last night from
Morgantown, w. Va, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. The company, which
is new organization, will start oper-
ations in May, and when running full
will employ 700 hands. The works,
which will operate one furnace and
two tanks. equal 10 36 pots, will man
ufacture all patterns of blown and
shaped table and bar glassware. The
company has capital of 500, 900,
with $50, 900 paid in. Mr.. Bannister
says that the glass trade was never
better and that the demand exceeds
the supply SO much that there is no
temptation to cut prices. The export
trade of pressed and blown ware from
the United States is increasing yearly,
and American cut glass is now recog
nized as equal to any in the world.

APPALLING FIGURES.
Thousand Men a Month Die in

An Entire Regiment Carried off Zach
Thirty Days-No Glamor Nor Glory
about the Terrible Sacrifice Heavy
Details of Surgeons Being Sent Over
Daily.
1t is very startling statement
which has just been made that dis
ease alone has since last October car
ried off the American forces in the
Philippines at the rate of a regiment
a month.
1t is possible this may be some
what extravagant estimate, but it
does net appear to be SO from the
frightfully long lists which General
Otis almost daily cables over 10 this
side.
This indicates loss of 10, 600 year
exclusive of those slain in the con-
SANITY occurring skirmishes and small
battles which go on without result.
There is a glamour and q glory about
the rush and roar Of armed conflict
which reconcile men To AN the con-
tingences of wounds and death. But
nothing can be more awful. more dis
piriting than to lie in hopeless impo-
tency as the disease laden hand Of
Death comes closer and closer.
There is no glory in that, noquek-
ening of the blood, no spur to ambi-
ton, no holding out Of fame. 1t is a
fate which may not pass unwept, but
itsurely passes unhonored and unsung.
How long before the brave men who
were attracted by the call TO fight for
the flag will lose all the energy and
fire in them? 1t was not for this
that they sailed thousands Of miles
across the trackless sea and ne-half
of the circumference of the world be-
tween themselves and home. Soon
the depleted ranks will have to be fill
up.
A most pathetic comment upon the
destructive rayages Of plague and pes
thence ia the Philippines moving
down our men with ruthless excess is
evidenced in the heavy details OF sur
geons and hospital attendants now

The principal in the affair was

affair lasted Fox alleged that Tay
lor has assaulted his wife and he got
gun to redress the wrong done
them
Taylor was in blissful ignorance
of this state Of mind on the part of
Fox and was going down street with
out care in the world when the
bombardment began. Fox got the
range and began to throw his lyddite
in the direction Of Taylor who think
ing that discretion was always the
better part OF vaor began master

The william still pursued him and
only ceased firing when the ammu-
milton ran out. Taylor eclipsed all
records during the performances and
the inhabitants of that part of town
began indastriously to dig holes in
the ground for protection The only
casualty experienced was hole in
Taylor's coat tail.
A warrant was placed IN the hands
of an officer and Fox was arrested
and given trial. The facts were
brought out that he had claimed
that Taylor had been too gay with
Mrs. Fox and had attempted to as
sault her. This was shown to be
without foundation The justice
concluded to hold the shooter to
court and the constable George Can
non went out to look for surety in
response to Fox's request.
The shooter was left in the custo.

of James Bradley. Fox had no idea
of remaining in custody nor on bail
