George LeflamhOY Is Dead.

George Lefamboy, who was found
unconscious in the bathroom of his
apartments at Grand Rapids, Mich,
on Monday with his brother dead in
a bathtub of hot water, died Wednes-
day. An examination of his body
shows a heavy bruise in the small OF
his back, two large blisters on the leg,
and another blister on his foot How
these injuries were received deepens
the mystery, as no evidences of the
struggle were found in the apartments
occupied by the brothers, and there
was nothing in the hot bathroom to
cause the burns A theory has been
advanced of murder and suicide, but
as yet nothing has been discovered to
substantiate it.

Bull Defeats "a PANTHER, a Lioncss, and
Bear In Brutal Fight
A dispatch to the Standard from Ma
drid says that disgraceful scene oc-
Cured in the bull ring there Sunday.
Twelve thousand spectators witnessed
a struggle between small panther and
an old lioness, large bear and a
powerful bull. The bull soon terribly
gored the panther and lioness. The
bear gave the bull more trouble. 1t re-
ceived terrible tossings and a number
of bad wounds, from which the blood
flowed freely, before it gave in. The
spectators were so enthusiastic over
the bulls victory that they scarcely
noticed the reports of a gun fired by
keeper, to goad the beasts when at
first they did not show fight. Twenty
persons in one of the g1leries were
seriously wounded by slugs. One lost
both eyes, and another one eye. The
keeper was arrested. The three gOred
animals died only after many hours OF
suffering

Scots at British Shells.

Commandant Albrecht of the Boei
army has written to friend at Magde,
burg critcising Blocks book, with
which he disagrees regarding the dead,
ly effect of modern artillery. He says:
Day before yesterday we battered
Butler and scarcely fired single she'll
What the British use are not worthy
the name of cannons. Out of 100 shells
fired by the British not ten exploded
These create more uproar than dam
age"
Commandant Albrecht admits that
the Boer artillery has failed, by a
long way, to achieve the results gener-
ally expected. He says they fired 100
shells at the battle of Colenso, and it
is doubtful if 100 men were injured by
them. The rihemen in ten minutes ac.
counted for more men than did the ar
tillery in ten hours.
