The Devil in Chelsea.
Boston Globe.

Boston Globe.
A case somewhat suggestive Of
the days Of Salem w1tcheraft is PEN
ding in Chelsea court. A man is
charged with being possessed of a
devil"
The question that so severely tax
e the acumen of the lawyers is what
the devil is aud just what the evil
dences of possession are. Up to date
the Bible, all the standard diction-
aries, numerous law reports, and
great theological works have been
consulted, but without letting In any
light upon the problem. So the
court has been compelled to cOntin-
ue the case for q week.
Yet the devil is one Of the most
talked about personalities known,
and his doings are matters of daily
record. He cannot be . myth, fol
he is possessed of substance enough
to make Hbel suit.
Before this case comes up again
some theologian should be consulted
who can settle the points in dispute
The devil should never be permitted
to prove an alibi in Massachusetts,.

4 Negro Attacks Her NJ Her Home nesr

Greensboro, Jan. l1.-News was
received here today of a most brutal
crime which was committed near
Whitsett, in the eastern part Of this
county yesterday afternoon. Will
Gibson, a negro, Of desperate char
acter, went to the home Of Mrs. Kate
Albright. in the absence Of her hus-
band, and brutally assaulted her,
leaving her in a very critical condi-
ton. The signs of his rough hand
ling and brutal treatment are to be
seen on Mrs. Albright's body. The
victim is a well-known and highly
respected white woman, 35 years of
age.
After committing the crime Glib
son left for parts unknown, and al
though officers and citizens have
been searching for him, he has not
yet been located. He will probably
be caught, as 1t is believed he ha:
not left the county.

IL Was after IL O'Clock this morn
Ing when Thomas W. PHILLIPS,
Chairman Of the Industrial Commis-
sion. called the meeting to order,
and after short statement regard
Ing the subject TO be considered, In
troduced Frank Parons, professor In
the Boston University Law School.
Mr.. Parsons, after having answered
. few preliminary questions asked
by Mr.. Clarke, one OF the members
Of the Commission, stated his views
regarding private ownership Of rail-
ways, telegraphs, aud telephones, rs
compared with the management Of
these public utilities under public
control. Prof. Parsons stated he
had made . study OF the subject for
twenty-five years and said that there
'is more than the mere question
or profits In the managing Of these
public concerns, and these are the
interests Of the general public.
"Private monopoly" said Prof.
Parsons," aims at dividends for the
stockholders; it has for it's purpose
the material wealth Of few now,
where public ownership aims at
equal services for all, at the general
interest Of the public, not for q few,
and not only for the present. but for
the future as we'll"
Prof. Parsons quoted Bismsrk in
his argument as having stood for
the consolidation of public utilities
under Government control; he cited
opinions of eminent Swiss Legislators
on the subject, and read q number of
statements from statesmen and econ
omists from nearly all parts Of the
world advocating public ownershi =
Of public commodities.

Thomasville, n. c., Jan. 11.-An
accident occurred yesterday after

colored men came near losing their

wards. As the other four men were
trying to get him out, the plsnks on
which they were standing gave way,
precipitating them also into the
water, which Is kept at the boiling
point, and is several feet deep.
Wells was scalded up to his neck,
the skin, and even pieces Of his flesh
coming of with his clothes. After
suffering mental agonies, he died
shortly after midnight. Two Others
were seriously burned, one CT them,
it is feared, will die. The other
two were only slightly scalded.

London, Jan. 1.-THE situation
in South Africa grows worse rather
than better. Lord Kitchner's dis
patches are more laconic than those
of Lord Roberts and little else Of
importance Is allowed to come
through.
The Times, in an editorial today,
finds comfort in the thought, "that
the process Of aterition Is doing It's
work and must shortly lead to the
inevitable result"
In other quarters, however. there
is less satisfaction with the position
Of affairs, which especially necessita-
ted the fortification of Cape Town.
No steps have been taken to COM
ply with Lord Kitchener's demands
for reinforcements.
Lord Coleridge In letter excus-
Ing his non-attendance at a political
meeting, says:
81 loathe and detest this war and
the policy which brought 1t about,
the mode in which it is conducted
and the undignified excitement over
the defeat Of a handful Of peasants
defending their country at the hands
Of ten times their number of trained
soldiers, backed by the wealth of
England"
This mornings dispatches report
that small party of Beers carried
off cattle close to the east fort at Pre-
toria. Rumors are spreading that
the rebels have joined the Beers in
the Calivina district.
General Kitchener sends news of
serious simultaneous attack on the
night of January 7th, by the Beers
on the British positions between
points sixty miles apart, along the
lines Of the Pretoria and Lorenzo
Marques railway. The losses on
both sides were severe.
Following Is the text Of the dis
patch from General Kitchener:
"Pretoria, Wednesday, January
0th.-On the night of January 7th,
the Beers made Simultaneous and
determined attacks upon all Of our
posts at Belfast, Wonderfontein,
Nooitgedacht, and Wildfontein. In.
tense fog prevailed and taking ad-
vantage of cover it afforded, the
Boers were able to creep up close to
our position. A heavy fire contin-
ued until $40 a. M, when the Boers
were driven off. One British officer
was killed and three were woun.
ded, while twenty men were killed
and f1fty-nine wounded. The los
Of the Beers was heavy, twenty-foul
dead being counted"
The invasion of Cape Colony looks
more threatening. The defenses o
Cape Town, including two ~ nava
guns, are now completed and the re
cruiting of volunteers Is active through
out the colony. According to dispatch
rs to The Daily Express, the admira
Of the Cape deet 10 prepared, in Al
emergency, to land . naval brigade Q
$3.50 men with six Hotchkiss guns.

that there are rumors that the colon q
rebels of the neighb Dr hood are jolnin
the invaders.
