MYSTERY DEEpENs.
Unable to Launch Boats for Relief Of
st. Johns Wreck.

st. Johns, n. f., Jan. Is, (Mid-
nighU-The latest adviccs destroy
many theories propounded concerning
the wreck in st. Mary's bay, and rem
der it more mysterious than ever. Ow-
ing to the continuance of turbulant
seas, it is impossible to launch boats
or to venture down to the beach with
any safety.
Bodies and wreckage are still visi-
BILE, the latter increasing as the ship
breaks up.
The colonial cruiser Ficonla is now
at the wreck. She will be joined in
the morning by the tug lngraham,
and diver will then 60 down If the
sea permits. Failing this, an attempt
will be made to effect landing in
Sculping Cove, where there are two
bodies and almost an entire boat. 1t
seems highly probable that the name
of the vessel will be learned tomor-

Physicians so Testify in Jack Kelly
Case.

The case of state VS. Jack Kelley in
Washington County Court is now
drawing to Il close. The evidence is
all in and the arguments began this
morning.

flied that it was not their opinion that
he was insane but that he was fci9n-
ing insanity.

The Last Meetings Of the Mis-
sion by Evangelist Gale
Will Be CONTINUED.
The Meetings will be Con<
tinued this Week by the
Different Churches.

Yesterday was the last day of the
meetings conducted by Evangelist
Gale. In the afternoon the Baptist
church was nearly filled with men and
women anxious to hear Mr.. Gales
last message to Christians. He urged
to a thoughtful and joyous life. bas-
ing his exhortations upon Paul's
words, For we must appear soon
before the Judgment seat of Christ. "
In the evening Mr.. Gale gave his
closing message to those who we're
not Christians, and many responded
to his invitation. Then the evangel-
ist gave some parting words of coun-
sci to the young Christians, which
will never be be forgotten by those
who heard them.
The pastors then gave their person.
al testimony as to the value of the
mission. The delightful Christian
fellowship prevailing was mentioned
as being an indication that this work
was of God, and there was no reason
why it should not be continued.
A male quartet sang "Is 1t Nothing
to You? Miss Hall sang by request"Ihe
Ninety And Nine,' and the closing
selection was "God Be With You Till
We Meet Again." the congregation
joining in the chorus.
Mr.. Gale and Miss Hall left on the
10 train this morning for Boston en-
route to Sackville, Nova s,sotla, where
on Friday they are to begin mission.
1t is probably true, without ques-
ton, that no man has ever visited
Barre who won such universal esteem.
by the spirit and faithfulness of his
preaching and by his own manly char
acter as has Evangelist Gale. lie has
shown rare tact in all his methods and
has displayed the qualities of teach
er of unusual gifts. The good wishes
of all our citizens go with him and
Miss Hall, whose sweetness of charac-
ter has endeared her to all who had
the privilege of knowing her.
The union meetings are to be con-
tinued in the auditorlums of the re-
spective churches. For this week the
order is as follows: This evening in
the Methodist church, Rev. e. M. Full
Ter being the preacher: tomorrow even
ing in the Baptist church, Rev. S. n.
jackson being the preacher, and
Thursday evening in the Congrega-
tional church, Rev. A. b. AtWater

London, Jan. 16. 4 Il. m.-Gen. Bull
ler's latest authentic word us to what
he and his 20. 600 men are doing was
wired from Springfield after his first
step forward. Striving to think out
the unknown, London is confused by
surmise and rumor and disquieted by
suspense. Mr.. Spenser Wilkinson, the
lucid mill itary expert Of the Morning
Post. asserts that the BOer force in
northern Natal is larger than Cen
Buffers and Sir George Whites to-
gether. so that the BOcrS are able to
leave a force around Ladysmith larger
than that within the town. and yet
oppose Gen. Butler with a force su-
perOr to his own.
Reports from the Boer camps affirm
that the circle of investment has been
drawn closer by the occupation OF
some hills nearer the town, thus liber-
ating rcinfOrcements to oppose Gen.
Butler.
The Daily News suggests that
multitude of the rumors that ori%l-
nate in South Africa and London are
given currency by the English mill
tary authorities in order to mislcad

great daiies this morning are almost
herron Nnverthaless the irsbl1+-

war Office with the cables continue to

The yeomanry recruiters are dlsttr-
bed by the fact that they are TO get
only one and one-half companies out
of upward of one thousand applicants
in the metropolitan districts. All the
other applicants fall short of the re-
ouiremcnts. One thousand would be
regarded as very small number, even
were all accepted.
The provinces are doing better, al
though to raise 10000 appears far
from being the easy matter it did
fortnight ago.
Among the minor perpleXltles on
the war office is a strike among lle
military tailors which causes delay IN
uniforning the recruits.
The Birmingham Mail, the organ
of Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, says;
"We understand on the highest all-
thoritv, that if the governm cnt IS

tion of the war the cabinet will lmme-
