Report in the FarwslI Bank Case.

The report of the referee, Judge Henry
c. Ide, IN the case of the Claremont Ma
tional bank VS.. George y. Fsrwell, was re-
ceived few days ago Judge Ide, who is
now a member of the Philippine commits
sion, worked out his report on board the
transport Hancock, en- route from San
Francisco to Manila, and mailed it at Yo-
kahama, Japan. 1t is a formidable docu-
ment of nearly 60 typewriter pages
Briefly, the report finds that of the very
large number of notes involved, there are
only 10, the loss on which must be sustained
by Mr.. Farwell The amount claimed by
the plaintiff was about $780, 900. The
amount of the principal of the ten notes is
So. 302.l4, and with interest to July l.,
1900, amounts to S9,2s996, which the
referee finds the plaintiff is entitled to re-
cover.

AIways the Van.

The advance movement in modern newspaper
work is most clearly marked in the ever increas-
ing value of The Boston Herald as a newspaper.
Ever on the alert for the news, 1t has organized
the best system Of news gathering known, and in
consequence thereof is always first in the publ
cation of the news from every quarter OF the
world. In addition, The Bost IN Herald maintains
departments covering the wide field Of the
sciences, education, religion, literature and anna
teuT and professional sports, each department be-
ing in the hands Of recognized experts. The Bos-
ton Herald thus combines the news with critical
discussion of great accuracy TO the point of inter-
est not equalled by any other paper in the coun,
try. Readers desiring lighter vein OF mental
pabulum will be RECALLED by the personal gossip
of a STAFF of the brightest writer's known TO news
paperdom. Women read the pages devoted TO
their interests and find in the work OF MI 5. Mary
j. Lincoln and Marion Harland suggestions OF
unusual value The Boston Herald is profusely
illustrated by a stan Of clever artists, and Is
unique in being an Illustrated daily paper, in
contradistinction 10 many which are more nearly
described papers with pictures. To all its
other good points may be added that choicest
attribute Of the modern newspaper ability
For intelligent readers there is no paper In the
country which is prepared with so much care
and none which so nearly appeals TO the taste oil
people of education and refinement.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Steer Mangl.d by wild Animal.

Arthur j. Chickering of East Westmore-
land has a valuable yearling steer that is
likely to die from the attack of a panther
or some other large animal of the cat
tribe. The steers face cheeks, mouth and
tongue are badly mutilated, and it is un-
able TO take nourishment except such as is
forced down IN liquid form. On the back,
neck and shoulders are long, deep scratches
made by the wild animals claws. Mr..
Chickering's back pasture, where the steer
ran, is part Of tract of some 25 square
miles of the widest woodland in Cheshire
county, without a dwelling house. Lynxes
and wild cats abound there, but no one in
this section ever heard of one being bold
enough to attack wild steer. The wounds
are Of such nature that they could not
well have been inflicted by a bear, and
everything points to their having been
made by panther, although one has not
been seen in Cheshire county in many
wears.

Four Persons Murdered.
House Burned 40 Conceal the Crime---
Suspected Murderer Arrested In Mill
ford, Mass.


George Goodwin's farm buildings near
West Newfield, Maine, were burned early
Monday morning, and Mr.. Goodwin and
his son, the hired man and housekeeper
nerished in the flames. There is some sus-
picion of foul play, as Mr.. Goodwin sold
some land recently and was supposed to
have had a large sum OF money IN the
house.
Later.-The autopsy of the medical ex-
aminer ON the bodies taken from the fire
shows that the fire was not an accident.
The bodies of Mr.. Goodwin and his son
were hardly recognizable. The body OF
Mrs. Horne, was, however, more readily
identified, while that of Bertsch was simply
charred. The medical examiner discovered
that the head of Mrs. Horne had been
crushed in by some blunt instrument, and
that death probably ensued before the hre
reached her. In the case of Bertsch, not
onIv was the skull crushed in in similar
manner to that of Mrs. Horne, but there
were wounds on other parts OF the oody;
A tborou0h search was made for traces OF
other bodies. principally with the idea that
nerbaps George Champion, who formerly
worked ON the farm, might have been IN
the honse hut no more were found. In
ths meantime word had been sent all over
New England and every enorI was oelhg
made to apprehend Champion; o0 Goodwin
sold piece of woodland for S23OO, and
some of his neighbors stated that ne had
banked some of the money at BiddetoTd
shortly after, keeping $500 for use. 9th
ers state, however, that he did not place
the money in the bank, but had 1t IN tne
house. and this story is offered as motiVe

No Revolt Against Bryan.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

There is no revolt against Bryan any
where within the Democratic party. In
some of the Eastern states the Democrats
are shy of the silver issue, that is all. 1t
is significant that this desire to smother
silver is most conspicuous in states in
which in 1896 Bryan was almost smother
ed by majOrities for Mckinley. Thus
New York gave Mckinley PCS, 400 plurality
New Jersey went Republican by S7,692;
and Connecticut's vote stood Mckinley
1l0,2Sj, Bryan 50, 740. Where Bryan was
strong in 1896 silver is strong today, and
the states that gave him either their cleo
toral votes or large measure of popular
support will dominate the Kansas City
convention,

The War in South Africa.
Beers XIII, Wound or Capture an En-
tire Regiment---Gen. Butler Has
Turned the Gateway OF Natal.

tire Hegtment---G Butler Has
Turned the Gateway OF Natal.
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Frederick Forester
Walker in command of the lines of commu-
nication in South Africa, reports that in
the disaster to tie British troops Thursday
at Roodeval, where the Beers cut Lord
Roberts's line of communication, the 4th
battalion of the Derbyshire regiment were
all killed, wounded or made prisoners, ex-
cept six enlisted men. Two officers and Is
men were killed, and FIVE officers and 20
men were wounded, many of them severe
ly. The Beers returned the wounded to
the British.
1t is inferred that the Beers captured
more than 500 men, and as late as June 10
held positions cutting off the British forces
north of Kroonstad from reinforcements.
The entire loss of the Derbyshires is esti-
mated at from 600 to zoo men. One re-
port says the Beers destroyed 81 miles of
railroad, and that their force numbered
1000 men with six machine guns.
A force sent south by Gen. Roberts de-
feated the Beers at Honingspruit Tuesday,
partially clearing his lines of communities
ton. Gen. Butler forced the Beers to
evacuate Majuba Hill aud Lang's Mex by a
turning movement to the west on Tuesday.
This means that Gen. Butler has turned
the gateway of Natal and has an easy en-.
trance into the Transvaal. He can now
move forward to cooperate with Roberts.
1t is reported that Mr.. Schreiner, Cape
Colony's Premier, has resigned, and it i:
added that he is endeavoring to form 6
new cabinet.

The body of Raymond L. Odds "a, was
found on the second island in the Connect
cut river below Woodsvile Friday. Odds
disappeared the night of March %. He
lived in Wells River and was last seen in
Woodsville, going toward the bridge lead
ing to Wells River. 1t was thought at that
time that he might have been the victim of
foul play, but the finding of money and
valuables in his pockets disproves this
theory. He probably fell from the bridge
into the river. He leaves a wife and fam

About 1000 British prisoners were re-
moved TO MORT Gedacht, 40 miles TO the
northeast of Pretoria, when the Beers
fed from their capital. The object is, no
doubt, to hold them as hostages. They have
been penned in a barhed wire enclosure,
four acres in extent and uncovered, on the
open veldt. Two other train loads of pris-
oners were prevented by Lord Roberts
from leaving Pretoria. According to a
Central News correspondent, Gen. French
attempted to cut off the retreat of the
Beers, but was unable to- do so. One re-
port says $500 British prisoners were re-
leased when Pretoria was captured. The
Express correspondent at Lourenco Mar
quez has obtained an interview with Presi-
dent Kruger at Machadodorp The Presi-
dent declared that the British occupation
of Pretoria did not mean the end of the
war. The burghers would never surren-
der while 500 armed men remained in the
country. President Kruger denied that he
took s., 000,0 900 of treasure with him and
that he was contemplating refuge on a
Dutch war vessel. The real struggle, he
added, had only now begun.

Sponsors for the Prince of Wales.

(FrOm the New York SUM-
The latest American to vouch for the
Prince Of Wales is Miss Edna May, who
was quoted several days ago as saying: Il
met a great many of the nobility, among
them the Prince of Wales, who is a very
affable person with good manners" The
manners Of no Englishman are more crit
ically inspected by Americans who go to
London than those of the prince. Miss
Mays immediate predecessor in assuring
the American public that the Princes man.
ners were those of perfect gentleman"
was Mr.. Tod Sloan. who had a chance to
inspect him on the racetrack. Mr.. Sloan
said very deliberately and for publication
shortly after he landed in New York that
the prince was a gentleman and a good
fellow" Mr.. Sloan was further quoted as
saying that the prince was natural and
easy in his manners" though this might
have been assumed from Mr. Sloans pre-
vious statement about him. Seven or eight
years ago a young man, whose fame rested
on his ability TO twang a banjo. went to
London TO interest English people in his
music, and he played for the Prince OF
Wales. He was also quoted by the papers
on his return as asserting that the Prince
was as gentlemanly a man as he had ever
met. The weight of evidence seems to
indicate very clearly that the prince is a
gentleman. Miss May adds the adjective
''affable," which corresponds to Mr. Sloan's
statement that he lis easy in his man
No
