hei1ef OF Lauysmlfh Has Cost ADouC
All It Is Worth Loss of the Town Is
Considered No Great Blow to the
Cause of the Beers.
Gen. Buffers final success in relieving
Ladysmith is moral rather than mill
tary gain. Considered merely as a mill
tary advantage, the release of Gen. White
and his small army has cost about as
much as it is worth. While it sets free
this starving and plucky remnant OF the
original army of occupation in Natal, it
alsosreleases similar force of Beers
from siege duty. The honors are even
In that respect. The British have lost
about 1000 men in the four months
fighting for the relief of Ladysmith, not
including the 1000 or more who fell Or
were captured in the battles that pre-
coded the siege. The town itself is
worthless as a, strategic point, except for
its railway connections. Its loss is no
great blow to the Beers.
The relief of Ladysmith and the with
drawal of the Beers from Colesberg and
Jamestown mark the beginning of the
fourth stage of the campaign in South
Africa. The first stage opened with the
advance Of the Beers into Natal and Cape
Colony, about the middle of October. The
object was to drive the British from the
coal districts OF Natal, to gain possession
Of the railroads extending into the Free
State and the Transvaal by way of
Laing's Mex and Van Reenen's Pass, to
prevent the use Of the railroads in north
ern Cape Colony, and to promote ris-
ing among the Cape Colony Dutch.
In two weeks the British were driven
from northern Natal, and were besieged
in Ladysmith; in less time the British
force in the west had been penned up in
Kimberley and Mafeking, and the Beers
held all the roads in northern Cape Col
ony leading to the Orange river crossings.
The second stage of the campaign open
ed about Nov. 20, with the REINFORCED
and recognized British army advancing
in four columns. Gen. Methuen moved

Hotel Man Held for Murder.

The body of James Lewellin, who was
found dead in Trump's Hotel at Wilton
last August, was disinterred at Water
town and examined in the presence of
District Attorney Altizer and Sheriff Car
nahan of Sparta, by two local physicians.
The theory of suicide was very much
weakened, and Officers Fitch and King
Of Sparta went to Wilton and arrested
Daniel Trump. the hotelkeeper at Wilton,
on the charge of numbering Lewellin, and
took him back to Sparta. Trump was
committed to Jail. Last October Level
lin, who was a young farmer of Water
loo, went to Wilton with the intention of
buying a farm. He took a large sum of
money with him. After being in Wilton

holes, one in the head and one through

the purest sophistry. 1t is the argument
with which the pruriently curious salts
fy their consciences when they go slum-
ming in evil places. Such pictures OF
vice tend to demoralize rather than re-
form the world, even though misery is
portrayed as the result of it. In any cir
cumstances, it is claimed, the play is dis,
tinctly vicious and it's influence bad.
Magistrate Mott in New York did not
undertake to pass finally on the question
of its morality, but he held the managers
and principals for trial before jury, and
thus was at least successful in securing
it's temporary withdrawal.

BUSINESS SITUATION.

,hicago Correspondence:

Chicago Correspondence:
The general tenor of the trade reports
indicate that the movement of business
is still large, and that prices for all the
staples are being well maintained. In
certain lines there is a little less eager
ness to contract for forward delivery on
the assumption that presidential year
always carries with it more or less uncer-
tainty, but as rule stocks are low and
deliveries still backward. I!
Business of the week in speculative
grain circles was Of normal activity,
without being subjected to violent change
from previously prevailing prices. The
general tendency was to somewhat
lower range, but with prices already rea-
sonably low holders displayed considera-
BILE reluctance to part with their property
at any marked reduction. There being,
however, an excessive supply at the mo-
ment, compared with the demand, prices
were compelled to follow the memorable
economic law. Shipments of wheat from
Argentina were never so heavy for the
same period as they were last week, and
European buyers appear to be able to buy
on better terms than are asked by hold
ers Of American wheat. Unless there
occurs d VI SOlAC OAc VI
other of the more important wheat crops
of the world that mature about July or
August permanent material improve
ment in price seems improbable.
The price Of corn yielded slightly, and
some of its former friends expressed
themselves less hopefully regarding its
future than they had been doing for the
previous two or three months. Many who
had bought corn when the May price
was around 80 cents sold out at and
above 80 cents and profess to believe de-
liveries from farmers will exceed the de-
mand from shippers from now until they
start their spring blowing at least. Dur
ing that time the expectation is the pres
sure of the immediate offerings will en-
able bulls who have sold at around 80
cents to buy back perhaps 2 cents above.
The tendency of the stock markets dur
ing the week has again been downward.
There is little pressure on the part Of in
yestors, but the traders who bought on
the slump of last December have been
taking their profits and practically no
new buying has made its appearance
Special causes are largely responsible for
the present condition of the market, and
until these causes are eliminated it will
probably be useless to look for any per
manent improy ement in the general list.

northward from De Aar to the relief Of
Kimberley; Gen. Butler, north from Dur
ban for the relief of Ladysmith; and
Gems. French and Gatacre, northward
along the railroads passing into the Or
ange Free State, to clear Cape Colony
Of Beers. Gen. Methuen's column adj
vanced more rapidly than the others,
fought four battles, but was not able to
relieve Kimberley. Gen. Buffers column
got no farther north than Colenso. Gen.
French was stopped below Colesberg.
Gen. Gatacre was held at Molteno.
The third stage of the campaign open
ed with the arrival of Gen. Roberts and
another reorganization Of the British
army. Making a feint on his extreme
right at Colenso, Roberts moved his main
column to flank the Boer position at
Magersfontein. This movement broke the
Boer line, resulted in the relief of Kim
berley, in the capture of Gen. Cronje and
his army, in the retirement of the Beers
from Colesberg and jamestown, and was
the determining factor in relieving Lady
smith.
The fourth stage of the campaign opens
with the retirement of the Beers to new
lines of defense. The reports indicate
that a show of resistance was kept up
south Of Ladysmith until the siege guns
and war material were transferred north
ward. When this was accomplished no
military purpose could be served by the
Beers in elinging to the positions about
Ladysmith. Their retirement from Lady
smith, and their possible retirement from
Bloemfontein, yield great advantages to
the British invading columns, but both
moves were inevitable. With northern
Cape Colony free of Beers, Gen: Roberts
has three railroads at his service. This
fact simplifes the problem of supplying
his army.
The retreat of the Beers in Natal will
be less precipitate than in the Orange
Free State, because the former have the
mountains behind them and are retiring
on positions which nature has made al
most impregnable. The Boer generals
must guard against a formidable attack
from Gen. Roberts in the Orange Free
State, must resist the advance of Gen.
Butler toward Laing's Neg and Van Rec
mems Pass, and must at the same time
strengthen their lines on the left to resist
a f1anking movement through Zululand.
Withdrawal from the Tugela and from
the Orange river to the mountain passes
and 20 Kroonstad will greatly shorten
and ,engthen the Boer line of defense.
Their line will then represent two sides
of triangle, with the point on the Drak-
ensberg Mountains below Van Reenen's
Pass, with one side line extending north
ward along the partially completed rail-
road to Kroonstad, and with the other
reaching along the mountains up to and
eastward Of Laing's Mex.
Kimberley was relieved after siege
of 122 days, and Ladysmith after siege
of 11S days. BY laying siege to these
two points, both ofethem Of great impor-
lance to the British, the Beers practical
" chose the fighting ground for the first
months of the war. A dozen engage
ments were fought for the possession of
Kimberley, and over twenty for the pos
session of Ladysmith.

aster Happened.
An explosion at the Red Ash mine, two
miles west of Thurmond, w. Va, killed
nearly 125 miners. The explosion is be-
lieyed to have occurred near the mouth
Of the mine. 1t was heard on adjoining
mountains and coal cars and mules were
hurled several hundred yards down the
mountain side. The sound of the explo-
sion spread terror in every direction, and
rescuing parties were soon on the scene.
The mouth of the mine was found jam
med almost full Of carts, mules, and
few human bodies. 1t is believed that
every man in the mines persisted. Hun
dreds of women, wives, daughters and
sweethearts of the unfortunate ones,
crowded about the mouth Of the mine
and their walls were heartrending.
These mines usually employ $50 people,
but Sherman Shirley, the bookkeeper,
states that for week only about three
fourths Of the men have been on duty.
Fully 80 per cent Of the miners were
white people and about go per cent were
married men. John Laing, the superin-
tendent, came out of the mine not more
than ten minutes before the catastrophe.
He is Of the impression that the gas In
the mines was ignited from miners
lamp. The mine is the property of the
Red Ash Coal Company, the principal
owner Of which is J. Fred Effinger of
Staunton, Va.
Portions of body were found after
the explosion hanging to tree almost
sixty yards from the mouth Of the mine.
Andrew Pritt, chancellor commander of
Beury Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was
taken from the mine, but was unable
to speak and died soon afterward. More
than dozen doctors were dispatched to
the scene from the various towns in the
vicinity, but their services were unnec-
essary. All the victims were dead. The
mine is in a mountain overhanging the
little town of Red Ash, where most Of
the miners lived. The opening was high
upon the mountain wall, about 700 feet
above the west side of New river.
