London, Jan. 16.-Every possible and
Impossible development Is reported
from Durham. Pietermarltzburg ana
Cape Town this afternoon, that Lady
smith is relieved, the Beers retreatlng,
Butler on the east, Warren on the
west, and vice versa. But nll Is mere
rumor.
The war officee remains mute. The
only relief to the general suspense is IN
the opinions of newspaper experts.
Williams. in the Leader, states posi-
lively that Warren's division Is five
miles northwest of Springfield. where
Buffers headquarters are, and that the
plan Is to attack the Beers on the
northwest of Colenso, push through to
Ladysmith and thence southwest 10
Bloemfonteln.
The foreign military attaches have
left Butler to join Roberts mt Cape
Town. This Indicates n return to the
original plan of campaign.
Wilkinson, In the Morning Post, Is
skeptical of reports from Durham that
Warren is going via Weenen. Such
dividing of Buffers forces would be
playing the Beers game. enabling
them to crush the British piecemeal.
Kitchener's well-known stringent cer-
sorship tends to the belief that suppO-
sitions only and misleading cables are
allowed through, those that are only
guess work. and that probably there
will be no news before Wednesday or
Thursday.

Judge j. ]. Jackson convened the
Federal Court yesterday morning. and
transacted considerable business. The
most important cases were those OF
L. S. VS.. Ben Davis and George Boo
cacio, each defendant receiving a sem
tence of five years in the State prison
at MoundsvilIe.
The case of Alfred Sturgiss VS.. H. S.
White ct al, was on the docket, but
was deferred until Friday to enable one
of the attorneys in the case to examine
the papers. The answer of the Mar
shall county bank, party to the suit,
was filed.
The criminal docket was then taken
up and Michael Joseph, of Sistersyille,
a Syrian, plead guilty to charge of
sending an obscene letter through the
mail. A copy of the letter, translated
into English, was furnished the Court.
1t was represented that the defendant
was not familiar with the institutions
and laws of this country, and the Court
therefore imposed the nominal fine of
s25 and costs, and it was paid.
Ben Davis, who passed queer" mon
ey in an alley c bagnio and told a very
fishy story about finding the spurious
coin in a clump of bushes in fence
corner, was brought into court. He
was still indisposed to tell the truth
about where he got the money, and
Judge Jackson sentenced him to con-
finement in the penitentiary for five
years. Davis appeared to regard the
entire proceedings in the light of
joke, and was apparently pleased when
Boccacio received similar sentence.
George Boccacio and his wife were
jointly indicted for raising the de-
nomination of two dollar bills to five.
Several specimens of Boccacio's hand
iwork were exhibited in Court, and
they proved him to be an expert. The
"doctored" bills would have been &C
copied by nine out of every ten per-
sons to whom they were offered. j. E.
Law, of Clarksburg, who appeared as
attorney for the defendants, was adj
mitted to prace in the court The aged
father, and frail and delicate looking
wife of the prisoner were present, and
excited considerable sympathy. Mrs.
Boccacio was in tears during the pro-
ceedings. The case against her was
nollied.
Judge Jackson endeavored to induce
Boccacio to tell who his confederates
were, after he had plead guilty, but in
this he was unsuccessful. He was re-
manded to Jail, but brought back in the
afternoon, and the Court imposed a
sentence of five years.
o. l.. Holiday, of Marshall county,
was admitted to practice.
The cases of Gately and Fisher, of
Benwood, were continued until the next
term, defendants being released on
their own recognizance.
The case of U. S. VS.. Herbert Brill,
charged with violation of the postal
laws, was transferred to Clarksburg.
The case of lutte ct al. VS.. East Liv-
erpool Bridge Company, will come up
Friday.
Adjourned until this morning.
