DEWET ACTIVE.
The Boer General Is Worrying the
 British.

Edenburg, Orange River Colony, Satur- day, November 24.-The Boers are most &C., tive between the railroad and Basutoland, south of Ladybrand, ThabAnchu and Bloemfontein. General Dewet and former President Steyn are near Dewetsdorp. It Is believed they are preparing for a descent on Cape Colony for recruits and supplies. As a counter move, two battalions of the guards, grenadiers and First ColdstreAms, hold all the lords of the Orange river from Ahwalnorth to the Orange river station. But small parties of mounted Boers are able to cross the river almost anywhere. The British have great need of more mounted troops. Otherwise the capture of DeWet is hopeless.

CORONER'S VERDICT

In this Braznell Nine Horror Case.
Mine Foreman and Fire Boss Found
Negligent and Declared Incomps-
tent to Perform Their Respective
Duties.
UNIoNTowN. Pa, Jan. 5.-The cor
oner's jury in the Braznell mine horror
after three hours dellberation. this
evening rendered the following Ver-
dict:
1--WE find from the evidence that the
mine foreman of said mine was neEli-
gent in falling to see that the mine was
in a safe condition before permitting
workmen to enter It. We also believe
that the fire boss OF said mine was
negligent In failing to make daily
verbal report to the mine foreman, and
we believe both the mine and fire boss
to be incompetent to perform their re-
spective duties"
There has been no action taken as
yet toward prosecuting the incrimLna-
ted officials. This will be decided upon
by a conference of the inspectors with
chief Inspector Roderick at an early
date.
To-days session Of the coroher's In.
quiry into the Braznell mine -dIsastor
was largely devoted to expert testi-
mony as to the cause Of the explosion
and remedies and preventatives for
similar dlsasters.
