CHARGES OF MACRUM.
House Committee of His Conn
plant Against England.

Washington, March 29.-Ch9rles f.
Macrum. of East Liverpool O.. the
American consul at Pretoria, APP
peared before the house foreign af-
fairs committee yesterday and told
of the alleged indignities he suffered
at the hands of the British during
his incumbency. His testimony was
a decided disappointment. There is
no question that the British censor at
Durham did open two letters of the
former consul. and il was clearly es-
tablished that Macrum did not report
this fact TO the department. When
asked why he had not made a report
of the incident the late consular OIL
Ger declined to make an explanation.
After hearing the testimony the
committee decided 10 drop the mat
ter and. inasmuch as the British gov
eminent has expressed its regret at
the occurrence, the matter is now q
closed incident.

row.
Guns Not Recovered.
Lord Roberts dispatch seems TO
finally dispose of the earlier report
of the recovery of the guns, and the
fact that the Beers remain in occupa-
ton of the waterworks is taken as an
indication that they intend to make
a stand sufficiently long to cover the
withdrawal of the guns and wagons TO
a place of safety, although the absence
of definite information regarding the
movements of Gen. French's cavalry
makes it difficult to estimate their
chances of adding this GROWING sue
cess TO the blow already inflicteds
Falls Into Hands of Beers.
A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland,
dated Monday, April 2, says the earl of

spondent for the Daily Mail in South
Africa, and who left there April l on
his way to Thaba N'chu, has probably
fallen into the hands of the Beers.
Messages from Springfontein sug-
gest that the fact that press messages
are keenly censored indicates an early
advance northwards, although there is
a question whether the loss of guns and
convoy will not delay the commander
in chiefs movements.

TO SUE THE CITY.
George H. Fay Serves Notice on the
City Clerk of a Suit for Damages
Against the City.
FELL ON A DEFECTIVE WALK
The Plaintiff offered to Settle With the
City but his claim was Laid on the Table
Defective walks should be Watched.

George H. Fay, through his attorney
G. r. Mcdowell, today served a notice
on City Clerk Jacob, informing the
city of Kenosha that he had begun
suit against it to collect damages al
legged to have been received by falling
on a defective sidewalk on March q,
1900.
The amount demanded by Mr.. Fay
will be 81 500 The accident of which
the suit is the result occurred while he
was returning to his home. While
walking along Elizabeth street, near
the Deming school he slipped and fell
and as a result he seriously injured one
of his limbs. He was forced to remain
in bed and have the services of a nurse
for several weeks.
Some time ago Mr.. Fay filed a claim
ed that they make some settlement
with him to cover the cost of expenses
incurred by the injury. The matter
was referred to the committee on claims
and, at their recommendation, the
matter was laid on the table. The
suit was at once filed and it will prob
ably come up for trial at the September
term of the Circuit Court.
This is the second suit brought
against the city this year as the result
of in juries received by falling on de-
fective walks. One of them, that of
Anna NJ Rogers against the city, is
still in the courts, pending an appeal
to the Supreme court. At the trial of
the case the plaintiff received a YER
dict against the city amounting to
nearly three thousand dollars.
In the light of so many of these suits
being filed against the city, it seems
that the City Council should take some
action to see that the sidewalks of the
city are kept in better condition. The
people of the city pay taxes for the
keeping up ofsthe city, and the laws in
regard to sidewalks should be more
rigid1y enforced.
Many defective walks are reported
at the police office daily, and the re-
ports are duly turned over to street
commissioners, who order the repairs,
but somehow it seems that the people
are slow about complying with the
ordinance. Every suit decided
against the city is a decision against
the individual taxpayer, and the peo-
pie should demand that the walks be
kept free from criminal defects.
