Lord Kitchener cabled from Pretoria
Sunday Near Wellmansrust, 20 miles
south heidelberg, $50 Victorian mount
ed rifles from Gen. Beaston's column were
surprised in camp at Steenkoolspruft by
superior force of Beers at 7.3O p. M
June r. The enemy crept up to within
short range and poured deadly fire into
the camp, killing two officers and 16 men
and wounding four officers and SS men,
of whom 2S were slightly wounded. Only
two officers and so men escaped to Gen.
Beaston's camp. The remainder were
taken prisoners and released. Two POM
pons were captured by the enemy. This
is the first experience of this kind for the

The body of George W. Park, a wealthy
resident of Quincy, was found in the Ne
ponset river, near the bridge, in the rear
of the car houses, which are on the Bos-
ton side, Saturday afternoon. Both eyes
were pulled and discolored and a cash
was found over the right eye. The
Quincy police, as we'll as the wife and
relatives of the dead man, believe that
he was robbed and murdered. The police
are proceeding on this theory because
everything they have TO work on points
to murder. When the body was found
only an old letter was in the pockets of
his clothing, and when he left home on
Monday, June 10, he had plenty of money
watch, chain and several receipts and
papers which are missing.

Death of Ex.eov. Pinsree of Michigan.

one of the most picturesque and inter-
esting personalities in American politics
passed away in the death in London,
England, Tuesday of Hazen S. Pingree,
four times mayor of Detroit and twice
governor of Michigan. The cause of
death was a cancer of the intestines. He
had recently returned to England after a
journey through South Africa, Egypt
and continental Europe. Mr.. Pingree was
60 years old and was born in Denmark
Maine. He learned the trade of a shoe
cutter in Hopknton, Mass, and served
with distinction during the civil war
He went to Detroit in 1865 and "a year
later started in business on a small cap
ital. In recent years he has been the
owner of an establishment employing
nearly 1000 men, and with an output ex-
ceeding $l,00O,0O0 in value annually. His
first appearance i'm politics was in 1889 in
citizens reform movement. He had
been "A steadfast Republican and had
taken no part in public affairs, but dur
ing the campaign IL is said that he de-
voted 20 out of every "A hours to visiting
and talking with the working men of De-
troit. The result was "a great surprise
when 1t was found that he had won by a
plurality of 231S.
lie entered at once upon radical re-
forms and succeeded in carrying out many
municipal Improvement schemes, but he
also advocated a number which proved
impracticable. His fight against the
street railway corporations, in which he
secured three cent fares for the people,
attracted great attention, and his plan
for setting apart vacant lots for gardens
for the poor gave him the familiar name
of Potato Pingree". His advocacy of
reforms gave him great popularity in his
home city, and he was reelected three
times, and was then made the Republi-
can candidate for governor. He was sue
cessfully elected to this office twice. and
caused adverse criticism by holding the
offices of both mayor and governor at the
same time.
He was fought bitterly by the party
machine in Michigan, and the newspaper
support was almost entirely against him,
but his hold upon the people was re-
markedly strong. He was known as the
hghttng mayor and later as the fighting
governor. He was very aggressive and
never tagged in his zeal against monop-
oily. He has been described as a diamond
in the rough, well fitted for the hurry
burly of leadership in a contest i'm behalf
OF the masses against intrenched priv
ilege. He was regarded by some as a
fanatic who sought notoriety, but his
friends have always insisted that he was
warm hearted, sincere man who be-
lteved in genuine reforms, and this opin-
ion seems to have been shared by a large
majority of the people of his own state.

them their dinner Saturday. and after
beating him until he was nearly uncon-
scious took his keys and escaped The
men ran through the back streets, get

woods before a general alarm could be
given. The deputy sheriffs in the sur
rounding towns We're Immediately noti-

were considered peaceful, and had never
made disturbance. Scott. the ringleader
was serving a term for giving away
liquor, two of the others for stealing

preconceived. and the attempt was very
bold, considering the mild character OF

KETcHUM-LEMAY CASE ENDED.
Mr.. Lemay lntlmates That There May
Be a Sequel Involving a United
States Official.

States official.
The Ketchum- Lemay damage suit.
which was docketed for trial at the pres
ent session of the Addison county court,
has been discontinued. on September q,
last, e. l.. Lemay, a prominent business
man of Montreal, was arrested in St. AL
bans while en- route to New York on a
charge of alienation of the affections of
the wife of John W.Ketchum of Yer
gennes. Damages were placed at $780,
600. Ketchum is the newspaper publisher
who has been indicted for completely in
the looting of the Farmers National bank.
There were some limitations that a count
er suit would be brought by Lemay,
charging blackmail, but a statement was
soon sent out to the effect that a com
promise had been reached and the case
would not be tried 1t appeared, how
ever, that when the docket for the Adj
Olson county court was issued the case
was still pending, but it has been settled
definitely by an agreement which releases
Mr.. Lemay from all costs and charges
while Mr.. Ketchum's attorneys, f. w.
futile of Vergennes and Fuller c. Smith
of st. Adams, are absolved from any liza
bility in the matter. Mr. Lemay init
mates that he was the intended victim OF
conspiracy concocted by a United States
official who is stationed at Montreal, who
had hoped in this way to get revenge for
fancied affront which led to a personal
encounter in which Mr. Lemay, who is a
large man of athletic build, handled the
officer roughly.

Dancer of Our Times,

[From the Burlington Free Presl
Rev. James Monroe Taylor, president OF
Vassar College, made a noteworthy ad-
dress to the senior class of that institu-
ton the other day. He declared that the
times in which we live are fast tending to
the worship of power increasing the
idolatry of force and of the wealth which
brings power" He denounced as sordid
and mean the philosophy of President
Schwab of the steel trust, who declared
that a college education is not necessary
to the achieving of success in this age
lie found a reflection of the modern pur-
suit of power and wealth in the essentials
of life in the pronounced increase of d.
vorces. 1t is to be feared there is alto
gether too much ground for the assertions
made by President Taylor, and yet there
are few men in a position to provide a
remedy for all this who are willing to
make a necessary sacrifice.

Gov. Crane Vetoed Subway Measure.

Gov. w. Murray Crane transmitted to
the Massachusetts Legislature Friday his
veto of the Boston subway bill in accord
ance with the previous declaration made
by him to this effect, but the message
accompanying the veto was of a char
acter not anticipated.
The Veto message was one of the
strongest ever given in the state. Its
dissection of the bill is minute and mer-
CHESS. 1t held that the bill contains con-
Trajectory sections, is insufficient in it's
provision for the cost of the subway s
construction. The bill gives the railway
company privileges denied to the city as
a party to the contract and it also vio-
lates the stock watering statutes.
According to Gov. Crane the bill sur
renders the peoples rights for an I'M
usual term of years and under unusual
conditions, binding future generations
unjustihably. The bill specifies that the
subway be built at not to exceed $1,000 900
but with no assurance that it can be
done. If the cost exceeded this figure,
the excess must be paid by the city
without any reimbursement from any
source.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
Controlling Tracks Enough to Belt the
Globe Twice,

The Chicago Tribune says: That the
Hartman combine has secured control
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul.
and that a composite agreement has
been made to perfect community of in
terests among roads with tracks enough
to belt the globe twice, is generally ac-
cepted in railroad circles. The sudden
departure of Mr.. Hartman for the East
accompanied by President John j. Mitch
ell of the Illinois trust and savings bank,
was announced in support of the state
ment that Mr.. Mitchell and other bank
ers would furnish the funds for the
completion of the Milwaukee and St.
Paul transfer. 1t was asserted Sunday
night that all the roads west, northwest
and southwest from Chicago to the Pa
cific coast will be controlled in future by
the following interests: Lines west of
Chicago to the Pacific coast by Harri-
man, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the Rock
efellers; lines northwest from Chicago,
by Hill and Morgan; lines southwest
from st. Louis by Gould and the Rock
efellers; lines southwest from Chicago
by the Atchson, Topeka and Santa Fe, to
which probably will be added before long
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific.
j. Pierpont Morgan and e. II. Hartman,
however, will be the real dictators and
direct the policy to be pursued by these
combinations, thus establishing the com
munity of interest which has been the
dream of Mr.. Morgan.
The railroads interested in the Harri-
man consolidation with their mileage are
