Body IN a Box.

Every effort is being made to un.
ravel the mystery of the box found in
the United States Express office at
Sioux City. Iowa, in a box marked
Books" consigned to John S. Brad
ford. There is no doubt that the body
was shipped from Baltimore, and the
police not only think that murder was
committed, but that it was committed
there.
There is little doubt that the mys.
terry will be one which the police will
find difficult to unravel. The presence
of the Baltimore papers in the box
makes it almost certainty that the
box was prepared for shipment in that
city. The box was received at the
main Office of the express company
on the afternoon Of January 16.
Two men carried it into the office
and placed it on the scales. There
was no evidence of excitement, and
when the clerk, as is always done
asked the contents of the box, the
reply was Books" The box was re.
ceived, a receipt given, and nothing
more thought of the matter. No rec
ord is kept of the shippers of goods
Active inquiry is being made by the
police for descriptions and informa
tion of the men, who are missing.
Among these latter is John Fields
who has been absent from his home
since early last December, and his de
scription almost tallies with that Of
the unknown found in the box shipped
to Sioux City, Iowa.

Two convict guards, w. W. Harlan

Batavia, New York, under sentence

by poisoning, has been granted new

Henry Walsh, clerk in charge of the
Mailing Department of the Chicago

ing charged with robbing the mail.
1t is claimed he has robbed 5000 let
ters.
In an alley in the rear of Pearl
street, Philadelphia, above Twentieth,
the dead body of Hugh Dugan, 12
years old, was found in a pool of
blood. His body and clothing bore
marks of violance, and his death, 1t
is thought, resulted from internal
hemorrhage. Charles Weisenborn, IS
years old, a baker, with whom the
dead boy had quarreled, was arrest
ed, and, it is said, confessed to the po-
lice that he had beaten the boy few
hours before the body was found.

The Farm Labor Problem.

The importation of farm labor into
the agricultural districts Of South tJer-
sey is growing to be a more knotty
problem with the farmers each year,
and the appearance at present would
seem to indicate that there will be an
unusual scarcity of help this coming
season. The greater number of farm
laborers are colored men from the
Sounth, principally from Virginia,
many of whom spend the summer
months working or the South Jersey
farms and return & the South in the
fall But the farmers are experienc.
ing much difficulty in securing help in
this manner, although few years
back hundreds of colored men were
brought from the South and employed
by the farmers, who pay them fairly
good wages. The last year or two 1t
has been hard matter to get a suffi.
cient number of men to properly work
the farm, and the { tlok for this sea-
son, although son farmers have
contracted for help from distant
points, is any thing but encouraging.

BRITISH AND BOERS
LATEST MOVEMENTS IN THE
CAMPAIGN.

A Full Summary Of the Transvaal
War News-Proeress of the Con.
fiict From Day to 0ay-The British
Encouraged.
1t is reported in London from Wash.
lngton that the good offices of the
United States will be offered to termin.
ate the war in South Africa. No word
has been received from Buffers forces,
but Methuen's troops are showing ac-
tivity in the west. Lord Roberts has
invited the Beers to go out into the
desert, and offers to restore their
farms when hostilities cease. Firing
at Ladysmith continues.
The Transvaal special war tax of
two shillings and six pence per acre af.
tects 100000 acres of English-owned
land, part of which is not worth
more than the tax.
The. Beers are showing great ac.
tlvity in the Naauwport and Colesberg
districts in Cape Colony Many of
the guns heretofore facing Lord Me-
thuen are believed to have gone to
Norvals Point.
The British War Office announces
that fifteen transports will be de.
spatched between now and Monday
with $4,000 troops, including the
Fourth Cavalry Brigade militia bat.
talions and 5000 yeomanry.
At meeting of the Board of Trade
at Victoria, British Columbia reso-
tuition was passed urging the Do
mlnion Government to offer Great
Britain 10000 troops at the expense
of Canada.
Lord Roberts has notified the War
ONCE that forty Highlanders, who
were previously reported killed at
Magersfontein, are prisoners at Pre-
toria.
The British War Office intends to
increase the regular army by fifteen
battalion of infantry, adding these to
the existing regiments.
The sum of $4,000 has been raised
at Berlin to assist the Red Cross Ser
vice among the Beers.
The st. James Gazette published a
report in London Feb. that General
Buffers forces had recrossed the Tu-
gela river at three points, and that a
hght had occurred, lasting all day,
but the war Office failed to confirm the
story, which was widely circulated.
Exceptional activity at the English
navy yards continue, but this is chief
ly new construction and refitting work.
Three ships will be commissioned at
Devonport this month.
Some unpleasant criticism of the
War Office has been caused by dis
covery that the sights of the Lee-En.
field corbines are defective. Old car.
bines have been supplied to the out
going Fourth Brigade of Calvary.
A despatch from Cape Town says
Gen. Butler still holds the Tugela
drifts and will possibly renew his at
tempt to force his way through the
Boer defences before long. In any
case, Ladysmith is capable of holding
out for considerable time.
A Cape Town despatch says 15C
American scouts, who arrived here as
muleteers, have enlisted in the British
forces.
