sequent steps taken by the government
The premier, M. Waldeck- Rousseau,

Richard to explain, also the prelate's
reply, declaring that his visit had
no political character, recalling his
habItrel attitude, and defending him
self against the charge of hostility to

London, Eng, Jan. 30. 252 p m. -
Ihore is almost complete absence of
news, from British sources, in South
Africa up to this hour. The only relia-
Ele dispatch of any importance is a
confirmation Of the report that Gen.
Melley Kenny, commanding the Sixth
division. has occupied Thebus, about
midway between Gen. French, at Rers-
burg, and Gen. Gatacre, at Stcrkstroom.
From this, it is deduced that juno
ture of the three forces is being made,
preparatory TO the beginning of the plan
of advance on Bloemfontein.
The dispatch from Pretoria dated
January 9th, gives the Boer version of
the Pietfontein reconnaissance referred
10 in the dispatches of January 2Sth,
when the British losses were two men
killed and 10 wounded.
The Associated Press learns that Gen.
lyttletor's brigade is still in its origi.

A one-month-oId Child Left In an Ash
sarrsl In stockton street.
About 8 O'Clock Monday a we'll
developed female infant was found
wrapped in an. old blanket in an ash
barrel in Stockton street, near Four
teenth. 1t was taken to tho residence
Of Mrs. Mary Il. Grubb, No. 405 West
Fourteenth street, where the wraps,
which had become wet by exposure,
were removed and the little waif waI
given nourishment
The Police Department was notified
and Capt. Black detailed Patrolman
Riley and Mcbride on the case. They
took the child to tho Eoice station,
where it was turned over 10 Matron
Wogan, who will take care of it until
some other disposition is decided upon.
Within fouI,h hours after the child had
been taken. to the stationhouse its
mother was there also, having been ar
rested by Capt. Black ON q warrant
sworn put by Agent Stout OF the s. z.
@. A., charging her with abandoning
her child. She was locked up and will

Joha Hand silk mill, Fourteenth and
Walnut streets, and was at work there
when arrested. She broke down and
vide for the child and, having made
several unsuccessful efforts to have it
placed in some institution. abandoned
it. although it broke her heart to take
this step.
She told the police that the child was
born while she was patient at tho
Homeopathic Hospital the 2Slh of last
December. About two weeks ago she
was released from the hospital and has
been caring for the child sInoe that
time.
After the child was taken to the
police station Matron Wogan remarked.
in the presence of Chief Doian and
CAPT Black, that the child resembled
one born at the Homeopathic Hos.
pital last month, and at the request of
the chief, Mrs. Wogan took the child
tc the hospital, where the nurses iden-
titled it as Mary Halls child. The ar
rest followed.
According TO the mothers statement
she placed the child in the ash barrel
eIself, between and 8 o'clock Sunday
night, and was not prompted by any
body else to do SO. The little waif did
not appear tc suffer much from the ex-
posure, except that it had a cold.
The mother was arraigned in the City
Court Monday night, was fined 500, tho
maximum penalty, and in default Of
payment will probably be sent to New
Castle Jail for three months. The
child, which appears to have suffered
very little from the exposure, has been
turned over to the S. p. G. c., which
win find home for 1t.

COSTLY BLAZE IN NEW YORK
Destruction of a Seven-story
Building Monday Morning.
WAS USED AS A CHAIR FACTORY
The Loss Three Hundred Thou
sand Dollars.
One BuDured and FIFTY Mon Were at Work
IN the BuiidtnE When the Fire Broke Our,
But None Was InJured-some Adjoining
Property Was slightly Damaged.

New York, Jan. go. The seven STORY
building op Cherry street. occupied by
the Haywood Bios. ,E Wakefield Manu-
featuring Go. as chair factory was de-
stroyed by fire today. during the preva-
lence Of a fierce gallo, which made the
work OF the firemen extremely difficult.
When the fire broke out, there we're
about 150 men at work in the building,
who, however, were able to escape with
outlniury.
The bursting>of a tank on the roof of
the building, which precipitated 1000
gallons Of water upon the fire raging
beneath it, generated so much steam
that the. walls burst out. Pant of ithe
east wall fell upon the Gerrish ware
house, and carried three firemen with
it. For time, it was feared the men
were lost, but they were extricate6
without having sustained any material
injury.
The loss on the chair factory and its
contents, which were completely de-
stroyed, is estimated at $500, 1000.
The fire communicated to the briggs
bonded ware house, adjoining the Hey-
wood Bros. a. Wakefield company's
building, but was extinguished with
out serious loss.

mobility of his army. Buller's mum
force is now ABOUT % miles from its
base, at Frere and Chieveloy. 1t is
between the Big Tugola River, over
which it has retreated, and the Little
Tugela River, over which it has to re-
treat in order to begin the march to its
base. That part of it comprising Lyttle-
tons brigade may still bo on the north
side of the Tugela, at .Potgieter S
Drift, though it is generally believed
that it, too, has retreated over the
river. 1t will take days for Buffers
army to get back to its buse.
Meantime, the Beers are in full
force ut Colenso, only few miles away
from that base. Last Tuesday, they
crossed tho river there, and made
reconnaissance OF the British camp,
evidently with view of ascertaining
the strength of the force which Butler
left hohind to guard his base aud COM
municaiions. The party that crossed
came into contact with Buffers rear
guard, and killed several OF the British.
That reconnaissance indicated pur-
pose on the part of the Beers to cut
Buller's communications off. Should
they hurl an overwhelming force over
the Tugela, and crush the British at
Chieveley, they would have Butler in
trap

about the matter and handed over $40.

Shortly before O'Clock Monday night
two mer stopped in front OF the resi-
dence of Judge j. Frank Ball, No.

hold court, was apprised of the demand
of the stranger and stal ted for the
door. The beggar retreated at the sight
of the judge and Joined another man
who had been waiting on the sidewalk.
The strangers we're evidently of the
opinion that there was no man about
the house, as they appeared surprised
at seeing one and when the judge
asked them what they wanted they
made haste TO get away. The judge
hurriedly put his overcoat on and
started after the men. When they saw
that they were being followed they
started on run, The judge ran also
and succeeded in overtaking one of
them at Eleventh and Jefferson streets,
the other one having gone in another
direction. The judge placed the man
under arrest and had him taken to the
police station in the patIol wagon.
The prisoner gave his name as James
Carr, and when arraigned in the City
Court Tuesday on the charge of
disorderly conduct said he was not the

he said the man with him told him the
man that was following them was
Judge Ball and they did not care to
meet him. House Sergeant Massey
testified that Carr had applied for
lodging at the police station the pre-
Vious night, but afterwaId changed his
mind aud said he was going out of
town. The sergeant also accused Carr
of being insolent. A fine of s5 was i'm
posed, Notwithstanding the protest Of

dune anything wrong. If he fails to
pay the fine he will be committed to
Jail for 40 days.

BRYAN MAY COME AGAIN.
That is, " He Is Nominated for Prssider
He NAV speak In all Three Coanties

That is, " He Is Nominated for President
He May speak In all Three Coanties.
Should William Jennings Bryan be
nominated for President next fall, he
will probably visit Delaware in that
campaign. He yas greatly pleased with
his reception last Friday, both from
members of the Democratic party and
people in general. He is particularly
anxious to visit the Democrats of lower
Kent and of Sussex counties, and if he
should DO his party's nominee for
President, there IS good reason to
anticipate that he will visit Delaware
during the campaign and speak in all
three counties.
In the event Of his visit one of the
points where he will surely speak is
Milford. While here, he was fully in
formed by L. Irving Handy of the
desire of the Milford people to have
him, and felt that their disappoint-
ment this time, although unavoidable,
entities them to peculiar consideration
when he comes again.
