The mayor of the city should
not defer the work of properly
nun bering the houses and label
ing the street corners, longer than
capable assistance can be secured.
The town is growing to such an
extent and so many newcomers ar
irving that the sooner this work is
accomplished, the better. In prim-
tive days the necessity of num-
bered houses was not felt, but in
Florence the occasion demands the
convenience, for such would it
prove to be to the delivery men of
the many business houses as we'll
as convenience TO nearly every
resident of the city. OF course
this will mean the outlay of a few
dollars, but how would the cost
compare with the satisfaction the
people would experience there

tage and the sooner the better.

FLAW IN THE MlTTIMUS.
Decision in Dreyer's Case May Releas,
Many Illinois COnvicts.

Decision in Dreyer's Case May Release
Many Illinois COnvicts.
Chicago, March 31.-Upon the de-
cision of Judge Dunno in regard to the
contention of the attorney of ex-Banker
E. S. Dreyer, now under penitentiary
sentence for embezzlement of $316. 900
of the funds of the West Park board,
who is trying to secure his release on q
writ of habeas corpus, may depend the
liberty of every convict sent to Joliet
from Cook county since 1895. Dreyer's
attorney claims that the mittimus in
their clients cause, which provided he
should be confined until released by
the state board of pardons, was in error
in that the parole law of 1895 provided
that the state board of pardons had no
authority to release, but only to recon-
mend such action to the governor, and
constituted an error sufficient to war
rant his release. Dreyer's attorney
also raised the technical point that
Dreyer had been twice placed in jeop-
ardy by the dismissal of the jury in y
former trial before decision had been
reached. When Attorney Mayer fin
ished his argument today, Judge
Dunno asked the states attorney if the
mittimi were printed forms. Upon re.
ceiving the reply that all prisoners
were sent to Joliet upon this form of
mittimus, the court rejoined: "If Mr..
Mayors contention is true there will
not be many men from Cook county
left in Joliet" The state will argue
against the point tomorrow.

Bushman Kop, April 2.-The British
force commanded by Colonel Broad.
wood. consisting of the Tenth Husssrs,
Househoia cavalry, two horse batteries
and force of mounted infantry under
Colonel Pitcher, which has been garri-
soning Thabanchu, was obliged, in
consequence of the near approach OF a
lagre force of Beers, to leave last night.
Colonel Broadwood marched to the
Bloemfontein water works, south of
the Modder, where he encamped at 4
this morning. At early dawn the
camp was shelled by the enemy from
near point. Colonel Broadwood sent
off convoy with the batteries, while
the rest of the force remained to act as
rear guard. The convoy arrived at a
deep sprut, where the Beers we've con-
cealed, and the entire body walked into
ambush and was captuied together
with six guns.
The loss of life was not great, since
most of the British had walked into
the trap before shot was fired.

ADRIFT ON THE PACIFIC.
Steamer Cleveland, with Broken Shaft
and u Sugar Cargo.

Steamer Cleveland, with Broken Shaft
and u Sugar Cargo.
6An Francisco, April 3.-Advices
from Honolulu, under date of March
%, state that the well-known steamer
Cleveland, bound for San Francisco,
with a 500, 900 cargo of sugar from
Kahului, is adrift with broken shalt
and practically helpless in the open
sea. When last heard from she was
several hundred miles from Maui.
Three of its crew left the steamer in a
small boat to go to Maui for assistance.
They were spoken by the steamer Eric,
March 20, 40 miles from Maui.
The men in the boat stated that the
Cleveland, when they left her, was
$40 miles north-northwest of the island
of Maui. The little boat had travelled
2SO miles of the journey to Maui, a trip
that must have required six days, 30
that the Cleveland must have moved a
good deal since she was last located.
She has two yards and can put up a
little sail, but not enough to control
her movements. A steamer has gone
to search for her.
About two years ago the Cleveland
met with similar accident between
San Francisco and Puget Sound. After
being abandoned by her crew she went
ashore on Vancouver Island.
During the civil war the Cleveland
was blockade runner and was captured
ON one OF her trips to Charleston. She
was built in 1861. and has seen service
of all kinds, all over the world. Her
name has been changed many times.
Lately she was used as transport for
the Philippines.

Indian Crops.

Calcutta, March 31.-In the course
of his remarks addressing the council
on the budget yesterday, the viceroy,
Lord Curzon, said the loss to the wheat
crop caused by the drought during the
present year was eS,00O,00O to e1O,.
900, 200, the loss on the cotton crop
was $1,000, 900, while the oil and seed
crop, usually covering l8, ,OOO,O 900 acres,
was nonexistent outside of Bengal and
the northwest provinces. The loss to
cultivators in Bombay alone il food
crops was 915, 100000, and in cotton,
100000. In conclusion, the vice.
roy said it was impossible for anygov-
ernment to anticipate the consequences
of visitation of nature ON so gigantic
and ruinous a scale.
