Badly Shaken and Bruised, But No
Bones Broken.
LONDON. Nov. 2l.-The Evening
Standard in special edition this even
Ing, says:
Just as we are going to press the
news is reported in London that Lord
Roberts has beer thrown from his horse
and received severe INJURIES"
The officials of the war office say they
are mot in position to report any
thing in connection with the ,rumored
accident to Lord Roberts,"
This utterance Is Interpreted. here as
giving indirect support to the Evening
Standards statement.
Lord Roberts accident occurred on
Sunday last, while he was riding. His
horse fell with him and he was shaken
and bruised. but no limbs were broken.
As he has since sent dispatches to the
war Office, 1t is believed that he Is
performing his usual duties, especially
as he has not mentioned the accident.
A dispatch TO the Standard says:
Lord Roberts body guard removed
him to government house. Johannes
burg. He was badly shaken and bruis-
ed, but 1t is expected that he will be,
able 10 take the field again in the
course Of n few days"
The Daily Telegraph learns that Lord
Roberts has telegraphed privately to
the secretary OF state for war, Mr.
William st. John BroderIck. that he
felt no Ill effects whatever.

Cotton Manufactures.

1.-THE South" says Fall River cotton
manufacturer, has gone into the cot
ton-milling business very extensively.
With the cheap labor and long hours
of the South a cheap grade Of cotton
goods can be turned out at much less
expense. The Northern manufacturers
could not stand this competition. They
decided to make a better quality of
goods. Heretofore the fine qualities
were imported from abroad. Now as
good a quality is manufactured by the
mills of Fail River, and is for home con-
sumption. New machinery was sub
stituted for the old. The old hands en-
ployed in the mills were of sufficient
experience to turn out the good quality
This has resulted in a decline Of i'm
ported goods. 1 do not mean by this
that the South has all the cheap cotton
trade. There are ten mills in Fall River
and New Bedford which turn out the
cheap grade. The other seventy ol
eighty mills are devoted to the finel
grades."-New York Tribune.
