THE SAME CID STORY.

London surmiseso of This Morning Throw Little Light o m h Situation.
LONDON, January %, 430 a. m-Thej ustifable severity of the cen
sorship at the present moment prevents the special correspondents from
giving additional information to supplement Gen. Buffers latest dispatch.
proves able to out-manoeuver the Beers, whose available forces m doubt
less larger than his own. The chief difficulty lies in the ability of the
Beers to transport men, stores and ammunition quickly and to entrench
new positions. Secrecy regarding Gen. Buffers progress, therefore, is e-
ential, and the public here is quite content to wait patiently.
From the information which the censor has allowed to it is vet
impossible to form a correct notion of the British tactics. One thing,
however, is quite clear. The British commanders have profted by x
perience and are now avoiding infantry charges, giving preference to the
more judicous use of artillery. The general idea is that Sir Redvers
Butler, with some 5000 men and is field guns, is holding the northern
bank of the Tugla at Potgieters Drift while Sir Charles Warren. with
about 10000 men, thirty guns and a large force of cavalry, is working
around the right flank of the Beers, eight or ten miles away.
On account of Saturdays fighting says that the British had a few killed.
Little reliance ear be placed upon these reports. and although the main
position OF the Beers has not yet been attacked and nothing is known a
to its strength. Saturdays and Sundays fighting which can hardly be des-
crfbed . more than outpost affairs, evidently ennled serious losses.

A MINISTER RETIRES.

Things.

OAKLAND, Gala, January 21.-Rev.
James C. Machines, pastor of the Oak

nounced his retirement from the
ministry. Said he:
81 believe in dancing and a long list
of other things that are tabooed by
church-goers when INDUCED in by

has the right to take it. When I meet
a man on the street I like to slap him
on the back and say: Hello there, Bill

in God and Christianity. but the church
is burdened with false ideas and full

of piety."

man who wants his personal liberty.

ENGLISH CLAIM A VICTORY

$ a Result OF Sundays Fighting-CIaim to Hold the Boer Position.
LONDON, January 22-The Daily Telegraph has the following dispatch,
lated Saturday, from Spearmans Camp:
Gen. Warrens forces have fought a deliberately planned and success
full battle. This important engagement occurred to the west of Spion Kop,
and practically resulted in our securing the rough tabldand which con-
situted the key of the Boer position.
for some time, the British troops assembled near a eminence known as
Three Tree hill, which forms the center of a semicirde of crests crowned
with the enemys works and son six miles long. Steadily and with great
dash, the British infantry went forward in the face of a heavy fusiade
from Mauser rifles. Our troops were disposed as follows: Major General
Woodgates brigade o the right; Major General Harris brigade in the cen
ter, and Major General Hldyards brigade o the left
"Soon after midday the battle on the hill became furious, and from
three in the afternoon until six the fire from both cannon and rifles was
extremely heavy. Point after point of the enemy's positions were seized
by the British troops, and eventually the Bor right broke and was forced
back toward Spion Kop
"Our force is bvouacking upon the ground it captured o CALAMITY.
During the action to-day the enemy brought into play new guns, of
which was a quick-frer. Tomorrow ought to settle the matter In to-
days fighting our losses were tihing, but the Beers suffered heavily.
while Gen. Warren "a fighting his engagement an enectual demon
sration "a proceeding at Pogieters Drift the enemys positions near
there being vigorously shened by the British batteries"

oDOfII, JduldIy Al.-lu0 JILL
mercial Gazette will say tomorrow:
The Vanderbilt interests have a plan,
practically certain of consummation,
which by building about fifty miles of
e road, is to provide the greatest
trunk line in existence between Pitts
burg and Chicago. 1t will be nearly
a dozen miles shorter than the present
shortest line, the Fort Wayne, which
is 46S miles long.
This is planned to be worked out
by the cutting up of Lake Erie G Wes-
tern, recently acquired by the Wander
bits, to form divisions of the Pittsburg
&c Lake Erie and the Lake Shore. In
stead of the present freight route via
Ashtabula, Ohio, involving what
amounts to almost a right-angle tri-
angle in its course or via Cleveland,
involving another bad angle, the use
of a section of the Lake Erie and
Western and the building of two con-
Meeting links with the Pittsburg G
Lake Erie and the Lake Shore is to
provide the new trunk line, which will
be almost an air line.
The plan is to build a link from
Youngstown to Akron, thus connecting
the P%ittsburg &c Lake Erie with the
Lake Erie and Western; then to use
the Lake Erie and Western to Spencer,
then build a short connecting link
Lake Shore, use this division to To-
ledo and the Lake Shore main line from
this to Chicago. The combined dis
lance will be about 458 miles.
The Dispatch tomorrow will say:
A new trunk line from Erie to Johns
town and linking the great lakes to
the Chesapeake by a new route is n
OF the important projects outlined for
development in Pennsylvania this year.
The new line will become one of the
standard grain and ore routes. Should
New York capitalists execute plans
they have been working on for years
(good authority says they are practical
ly completely, a branch will reach
Pittsburg and a new outlet to the Ches-
apeake and Atlantic seaboard will be
given this city.
John B. Mcdonald, contractor, who
recently received the $685. 900. 900 con-
tract for constructing the great trac-
ton tunnel in New York. is said to
be one of the principal projectors of
the road.
The route of the new line will be
from Erie to Cambridgeboro, to Titus
vile, to Tionesta, Clarion county. by
bridging the Allegheny, thence to
| Brookville, Punxsutawney, Indiana,
Blairsville, to Johnstown.
Included in the scheme is a pro-
posed line from Black Lick Station,
near Blairsville, to Pittsburg, entering
the city by way of the Pittsburg &
Western, the Pittshurg Junction road
and the Baltimore & Ohio. The line
from Erie to Johnstown will be 210
miles long. and will develop one of
the largest coal fields in Western
Pennsylvania. In Cambria county
alone 10000 acres have been leased
70 bought outright, and the Cambria
Iron Company will spent several mill
lions of dollars in improvements and
extensions. 1t is said this company
has already made a contract with
New York capitalists to have deliver
ed 1000. 900 tons of ore annually for
twenty years. Another development
of the scheme in the near future is a
giant steel plant at Erie, to cost So
0O0, 900.

BROKE UP JAMBOREE.
A Battle of Bullets" Occurred Across
 the River Saturday Night.

Louis Hubbard, negro. broke up a colored jamboree on the Bell place across the river last Saturday night.
 A big melon festival was going on there and among the attendants was Hubbard, who tried to run things as he liked 1t but much to the annoyance and inconvenience of the other participants. Complaints were registered but Hubbard insist ed and had several fisticuffs with other negroes, who tried to change his plans. He was SO obnoxious and offensive that the officers were sent for and demanded that Hub- bard consider himself under arrest. He refused, pulled his gun and began to shoot and run. The officers re- taliated with ammunition from six shooters and for a short time 6 '.battle royal" was ia progress. Hubbard was finally captured, after being shot in the leg and arm. His wounds are not of serious nature.
 During the battle of bullets" the negroes scattered aud when the smoke cleared away, nobody was left but the officers and they had Hubbard in charge. He was brought to this city and locked up ana will have a hearing before Justice Gar rett sometime today.

AT ODDS OF FIVE TO ONE.
A Presidential Wager Made in This
 City as Above.

Pine Bluff has been the scene of several very interesting bets on the national election, the result of which will be determined in Noyem- Der. Phe Democrats of the country are greatly impressed with the present. outlook and are sure aBll' Bryan will be the next man to sit in the presiden tial chair. Even Mark Hanna carries worried look over the present gloomy conditions that face ths Republican party. We havn't seen Mark recently, but correspondent tell us through the papers that he s'is not at all satis- fed with the great increase in Democratic circles.
 Great odds are being given by the Rel ub jeans, but no such odds as those given by Postm pas ter Louis Altheimer recently. He bet Mr. John J. Whitaker, great admirer and supporter Of Bryas, $500 to $100 that Mckinley would be re. elected. Mr. Whitaker, overflow ing with confidence in the success of the Democrats this year, jumped at the offer only too quick. and will take some more money at the same odds.
