COMMANDMENTS MISTAKE.
Boer Report said 1t Resulted In the
Raising of the Siege of
Ladysmith.

BoER CAMP, Biggardsberg, March g.
The federals have fallen back ON the
Biggardsberg chain that crosses Natal,
south of Dundee. The retreat from
Ladysmith was due to a mistake of a
certain commandment in ordering his
men to retire from the key of the posi-
ton without any reason for the move.
On the receipt of the bad news from
the Modder river it was resolved to send
the wagons back to Biggardsberg, and
soon long strings of OK wagons lined the
roads. Over 1000 wagons took the
westerly route to the lager southwest
OF Ladysmith. Another convoy was
sent to the foot of the Drakensberg. A
large number of tents captured from the
British at Dundee and also ammunition
Were abandoned.
The chief difficulty was in dismount-
ing Long Tom.
The Beers We're independent of the
railway as is shown by the fact that not
one of their 1900 wagons went by rail.
All travel in the byway road together
with the field batteries. Only big guns,
the infantry and the wounded went by
rail
When the last train had left Glands
laagte workmen's train followed, care
fully blowing up bridges and culverts be-
tween Ladysmith and Glencoe aud when
this had been done, setting fire co the
Elandslaagte collieries. Thus the Brit
ish, with Natal's southermost collieries
in their hands, are unable to draw sup
plies therefrom.
Under cover of the night, and with
the collieries sending lurid flames to
heaven, the bullock wagons wound over
the hills, making roads where none be-
fore existed, and the four months siege
Of Ladysmith was raised.

WILL BE DECORATION DAY,
When Thoughts and Love Abide
With the Departed.

The resting place of millions will
on tomorrow be made beautiful
with floral offerings, tributes of
atfectionate remembrance. There
will be called forth feelings of
mingled sorrow and JOY, there will
be lonliness and yet heavenly asso-
citation: sorrow and lonliness be-
cause the loved ones who have
gladdened our homes and lives are
no more with us; JOY and heavenly
association because we know that
blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, that they are free from
earth's burdens, sorrows and suf-
ferings, and in measure that we
who are alive and remain forget
the things of to day and place our
thought and love upon heavenly
things and those who await our
coming to that home prepared for
the faithful.

ANOTHER COMPLICATION.
T. B. Howe Excepts to the City Solic
itor Withdrawing the Exceptions
to Viewers Report.

Mayor Moir on Saturday signed the
concurrent resolution directing the city
solicitor to withdraw the exceptions
taken by him to the award of the view-
ers on the opening up of Wyoming ave-
nue..
A question exists, however, as to
whether the city solicitor may with
draw the exceptions or not. This is
because Thomas b. Howe of Green
Ridge, filed a petition with court. on
Saturday. demanding that the eXcep-
tions filed be allowed to stand.
The reasons given We're that the
damages allowed are greatly in excess
Of the assessed valuation of the vari-
Gus properties and that said damages
will increase the city's Indebtedness
beyond the two per cent. limit fixed by
law.
Court issued a rule, returnable Jan
%, 1900, to show cause why the petit
toner shall not be permitted to inter-
vene and to be heard on the exceptions
filed.

TWO OLD FORGE CASES.
Conditional Verdict Returned in One
and the Jury Reports a Dis
agreement in the Other.

The jury in the case Of Duncan Nc
Murtie against Old Forge township.
which was tried at length before Judge
Edwards last week. returned a special
verdict Saturday morning as follows:
"Our verdict is in favor of the plain
tiff and against the defendant. The
amount of the verdict is made up Of
two items. The first item is for the
balance due for the building of the
abutments and other charges about
which there is no dispute. amounting,
INCLUDING interest, to s7S3.97 The sec
ond item is for extra work in building
retaining or wing walls on the east
and west sides of the LackaWanna
bridge and for excavation and filling

534.32. We find for the plaintiff for
the first item of S7S3.?T, and for the
second item of S1,534.32 But our find
ing as to the second item is subject to
a question of law to be reserved by
the court
The question reserved by the court
is as to whether or not the oral agree
ment under which the extra work was
done constitutes a valid contract.
In the case of William Stoddard
against Old Forge township school
board. the jury on Saturday reported
it could not reach an agreement and
was discharged.
Stoddard sued on a claim assigned
to him by Contractor VanLoan for Il
balance due on the contract fer the
construction of the Old Forge High
school, and for extra work and ma
teriais which entered into the same.
The defense admitted the claim for
the balance of the contract, $500, but
