TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
Correspondence Between Lord Robert

Correspondence Between Lord Roberts
 and President Kruger.
 London, May IA, 6:12 p. m.-The war office has published despatch from Lord Roberts, dated Kroonstad Sun day, May IS, giving the correspondence between Lord Roberts and President Kruger relative to the alleged ill treat ment of colonial prisoners of war. The Transvaal presidents reply was to the effect that there was no difference in the treatment of the colonial and other prisoners. and that only few who had contravened martial law or who had tried to escape, or who, it had been suspected, might try to escape, had been placed in jail for security. Other- wise they had been treated like the other prisoners of war.
 Regarding the enteric fever, the gov ernment of the Transvaal said that it tion as we'll as among the prisoners, and every remedial measure had been taken.
 Lord Roberts replied, on April P that he was glad to receive President Kru- gers assurances, but pointed out that no difference was made by the British authorities in regard to the Boer pris oners against whom there might be reasonable ground for suspicion that that they woud try to escape, adding that such exceptions gave room for abuse by officials without the knowl- edge of the authorities.

v 4 LING FORD.

Sunday night about il o'clock the res idents of one of the houses near the corner of Washington street and Hall avenue were surprised to hear some person walk up on the door steps and try to open the side door, which natural ly was locked, and then turn and go away. In answer to the question as to what he wanted the man replied Something to drink" On being inform ed that it was "after hours" the man proceeded up Washington street and To- cated himself on E. C. Gardners lawn, near the house, and began a conversa- ton with himself, consisting mostly of profanity. MT. Gardner stood the visit for what he considered sufficient period of time, and then appeared to the mid night caller who 7t first wanted tC fight and in fact tried to get in an up- percut, but instead got one himself un- gutter, after which he was more docile. Leaving Washington street the man, who was drunk, turned into o. B. Lanes yard and turned In on a flower bed, where a little later he was found by Officer White. He claimed to hail from New Haven but would not give any name, and as he seemed willing to be- have himself and keep quiet he was let go on his way, and disappeared to- ward Meriden,

ORITUARY NOTES.
Orange EOses One of It's Leading and
 Nlost Valuable Men.

In the death of Benjamin T. Clark, which occurred early Sunday morning, the town of Orange loses one of it's old time citizens, a man of sterling charac- ter and great usefulness. who was re- spected and honored by all his towns men and who was known throughout the state on account of his high charac- ter, ability and public record in the dis charge of many important duties and trusts.
 MT. Clark was born in the town of Orange eighty years ago and sprung from sturdy New England stock Without college education, he was yet one of the best informed men of his town, Early in life be applied himself to his studies and as the years passed he became thoroughly posted on those practical everyday things of life that were so essential to public man of his day and age. He was, in fact, a self-made man and one not spoiled in the making.
 He began his career as a teacher in the Orange district school, and among his pupils were many men and women who to-day stand high in the esteem and confidence of the community, some of whom in after years were promi- nently identified with the towns busi- ness life.
 His first experience in public life was as assessor of his native town, which office he held for several years. About 1850 he was elected to the board of se- lectmen of Orange and from the start took an active interest in town matters, so much so that within two years he was the head of that board and ac- knowledged by his associates as the po- tent force in town affairs.
 He was for years town agent and the towns trial justice, and in the latter capacity it is said of him by those who know that never in all the years of his official life did he ever make commita ment that failed to hold. Although not graduate of any school of law, his le- gal knowledge was remarka ble. By in telligent study of cases as they came up he had acquired practical knowledge of legal lore and the rules of practice that always held him in good stead Deeds and wills were his great special ty, and he has probably drawn more of these instruments than any citizen of his town now alive
 He was chairman of the board of se- lectmen of Orange at the breaking out of the civil war and as such had the active work of organizing and equippingi that towns quota of troops sent to the front
 Many of these men were his former pupils or the sons of those pupils. and for them all the old teacher felt almost fatherly affection. All through these trying years of war MT. Clark trans acted the arduous duties of his office in a manner most praiseworthy, and when peace had been declared and the coun- try had once more settled back into its quetude he laid down the burdens of selectman, retired at his own request, and for years afterwards continued his duties as trial justice, which position he held until disqualified by old age Then he retired from active legal duties and in the sere and yellow leaf of life devot- ed his care and attention to his farm

flying was suddenly attacked by d large number of the enemy. Two officers, Captain Haig of the Sixth Dragons and Lieutenant Wilkinson of the Aus tralian Horse, were made prisoners and twenty-one men are still unac- counted for. Some of them may have turned up, as the cavalry covered a considerable distance on May 10, and men reported missing have been rejoin- ing during the last few days"
 The above despatch refers to the losses sustained by the Inniskillings on May 10, as detailed in despatches last Saturday. The troopers were fired on while unsaddling their horses, having approached the kraal unsuspiciously, as white flag was flying from it.

RnRERT R SMITH.

Robert R. Smith, one of New Hart ford's most prominent citizens, died on Sunday forenoon, aged tifty-eight years. He was seized with appendicitis eight days ago, and although an operation was performed last Monday, the case was too severe to admit of recovery He was the son of John c. Smith, who in 1S4S, with his brother, Darius B. Smith, came to New Hartford and with Major Sanford Brown established the manufacture of cotton duck in that place, which has since developed into the Greenwoods company and the firm of D. B. Smith & Sons. He succeeded his father in the Greenwoods company and for many years was agent and manager. His life had been spent at New Hartford. MT Smith had quite a number of New Haven friends among the business men.

 London. May 14.--A dispatch received here this afternoon by the Associated Press from Pietermaritzburg Natal, timed 12:05 p. m. to-day, brings the first intimation of success attained by Gen eral Butler in northern Natal The sender of this dispatch evidently as- sumes that news of the affair has been received direct from the scene of hostil- ities. for her merely says:
 General Buffers official telegram, notifying of his success at the Biggars- berg, received here an hour ago, has given keen satisfaction. It is confident 1y anticipated that Dundee will be oc- cupied by the British to-day The resi- dents of the north country are delight ed, as forcing the Biggarsberg means SAANNNA~NN turn to their homes"
 At about the time this message was filed another dispatch arrived, dated Stone Hill Farm, 9:20 o'clock this morn ing. It says:
 After four days march eastward at the foot of the Biggarsberg ridges, in the direction of Helpmakaar, which was occupied by the Federals, the Second brigade Sunday led the attack. Dun donald's cavalry broke the Boers' center and Bethunes Horse advanced on their extreme right. In the direction of Pom eroy small party of burghers occupied ridge overlooking Helpmakaar, but they did not wait for the assault"
 Recent British scouting in the direc- tion of Dundee has shown that the Fed erals were in great force on the Big garsberg So apparently General Bull CT concluded that it was necessary to clear them form his rear before com mencing a movement in the direction of the Drakensberg range. If that is his plan, he has possibly divided his forces, sending one column eastward to threat en Vryheid and Utrecht, and take Laing's Nek in the rear, while a vest bound column attempts to form a june tion with the forces of Lord Roberts via the Harrismith railroad.
 A dispatch from Stony Hill farm, Natal dated to-day, says:
 General Buffers advance began on Thursday, when he left Ladysmith in strength When within two miles of Helpmakaar the Boers opened a heavy artillery fire, and the British guns re- piled, while a portion of Buffers troops worked around the Boer Hanks. The British attack was pressed home Sun day. Bethune. on the right, outfanked the Boers whose splendid defensive po- sitions on the Biggarsberg were prac- tically taken General Buffers march, | subsequent to the attack, was carried out without a hitch. The British are still pushing on."
