here from Panama nothing has yet been
heard in that city concerning the outcome
OF General Adams expedition against the
Liberal forces at Chorrera- 1t is said that
information of the recent happenings at
Colon has been sent to him.
In the meantime the Government troorS
at Panama, numbering about 300 meE, are
busily engaged in the construction Of
earthworks and barricades at the railroad
bridge going into the city in anticipation
of an early Liberal attack.
Colonel Shaler says that no request has
been made upon him for a special train
TO convey Government troops to Colon TO-
night. If such request is made it will
be granted, but Colonel Shaler does not
consider it likely. The Liberals say they
have at least 200 men in possession of the
different railroad stations on the line be-
tween here and Panama. These men will
doubtless do their utmost to prevent the
transportation of Government troops to
this point.
All Depends on AIban.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Arturo de Bri-
gard, Consul General Of Colombia, to-day
received private dispatches informing him
that the Liberals had surprised and cap
tured the city of Colon last night. His
telegram places the loss at twelve killed
and thirty wounded. Brigard said tha:
to much, as 1t is not fortified place, and
that General Carlos Alban, who is Gov
ernor Of the department Of Panama, IS
now in the city OF Panama with 100
eral Alban returned to Colon the Liberals
would run away. Tie Consul General
said General Alban expected to give bat
tie to-day to the Liberals on the Pacific
side of Panama, at Chorrera. After that
battle, the Consul said, the general would
go to Colon. General Alban has ample
ammunition for all purposes
Brigard said that when General Alban
left Colon he took all the available troops,
leaving the town in charge of fifty police
men At the Office of the Panama Rail-
way and Steamship Company it was said
that the officers had received advices that
the town had been surprised by the Lib
erals The advices did not say how MANY
Liberals were in the attacking party, but
it was supposed the force was not larger
than 300.
Dr. Restrepo, head Of the Colombian
revolutionary junta in this city. tonight
gave out a statement, in which he said:
Liberals Set Trap.
AS reported, General Alban, with HOO men
and several field pieces. has started to attack

TROOPS ON THE WAY
TO ATTACK INSURGENTS
Operations Near Panama Give Prom
ise Of Battle Between Small

COLON, Colombia, Nov. 10 (via Calves
ton).-General Alban, with force of HOO
men, well armed and supplied with am
munition and having cannon and modern
quick-firing guns with them, has started
to attack the insurgent forces which are
strongly intrenched at Chorrera. Half of
General Adams force left Panama in
large launches, towed by the Colombian
gunboat Boyaca- The remainder marched
overland. These forces are to combine
and make front and rear attack on the
insurgents Chorrera Is only one days
march from Panama. General Castro ac-
companies General Alban.
General Lugo is in command of the in
surgent forces, though Domingo Diaz Is
the nominal head. The Liberals claim
that they possess a stronger force than
the Government, but it is generally ad-
mitted that they are indifferently armed
and poorly supplied with ammunition
News of a decisive Government victory
IS confidently expected this week. Cen
eral Adams marching orders were kept
secret until the moment the troops were
ordered to move. A majority of the
troops which arrived here Sunday last on
board the gunboat General Pinzon will
remain at Panama in order to garrison
that city.

Thousands of Chronic Catarrh Pa
tients Under Free Treatment.

Wherever DR.. Hartman is known the
name of Peruna has become household
word. 1t is safe to say that no medicine
in existence is used by so many families
as Peruna. This is especially true of this
time of the year, when the people are LA
BILE to catarrhal affections, coughs, colds,
la grippe, etc.
Peruna has cured more cases of chronic
catarrh than all other medicines COM
bined. The great majority of those who
use it buy the remedy themselves, use it
according to directions. not even report
ing their case to DR.. Hartman until after
they are entirely cured.
But now that limited number of cases
can secure the personal attention of DR..
Hartman free of charge, it is not to be
wondered at that many prefer to do so.
Peruna never fails to cure catarrh when
properly used.

Theatres.

The fifteen acts announced for the week
at Keith's embrace the usual frst-class
representation of all that is usually en-
loved in the average vaudeville program
Hope Booth, who will head the list, will
be seen in artistic posings which for eight
weeks were the chief card in a New York
program last summer This act is said to
be the best of its kind ever seen here.
This Young and beautiful woman possesses
figure over which artists raved and de-
clared that no living picture production
ever contained a more attractive woman
There are twenty comedians in this YER
table aggregation, so the theatre-goer may
anticipate a show that will be continuous
source of merriment. "The New Coach
man. /" which will be acted for the first
time at this house by Louis A. Simon and
company, is said to be one of the most
laughabie pieces of the sort ever exploited
in vaudeville. John Jack heads a company
that will interpret THE Holly Tree Inn"
a dramatization of Dickens famous story
of that name, by Augustus Thomas. Mr..
lack, who has been member of Joseph
Iefferson's company for several seasons,
will be seen in this branch of theatrical
amusements for the first time this week.
Clarice Vance, the best of singers of coon
songs, is to sing three selections, only one
of Which has been heard here; SIZZLING
and Revell, the comedy acrobate, have
hitherto convulsed Keithites; Laura Burt
is perhaps the foremost of female mono
loguists, and is to star next season IN
Scotch drama; the Streator Zouaves give
an exhibition of drilling and wall scaling
that has provoked applause in military
assemblage; the Americas Comedy Four
are frs t-rate singers and comedians; the
Two Andalusians are vocalists whose
voices would attract attention in comic
opera production the Biograph will have
an unusually interesting collection of pic
lures; O'Brien, Jennings and O'Brien are
favorites, and have not been seen here in
several seasons, and Bonner, the talking
horse, does many feats that have hitherto
constituted an entire show.

work or New Ferrv House.

Vigorous efforts are being made by
the Chief Engineers Department of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to have
the new ferry house in Camden at the foot
of Federal street and the West Jersey
R abroad lines erected before the rush of
summer travel.
The architect says that enough of the
train shed and ferry slips, of which latter
there will be four, will be completed by
June to give good idea of the magni-
tude of the work. The other portions can
then be easily finished. The building will
be constructed so as to accommodate dou
BILE deck boats, but until the plans for ele
waiting the lines of road in Camden are
finished the single deck boats will be used.
The travel on the Pennsylvania ferries
is growing so fast, especially those con-
Meeting with the railroad lines in New
Jersey, that the ferry service is inadequate
to accommodate it, The talk of bridge
from the west side of Delaware avenue to
the ferry house on the Philadelphia side
of the river has been abandoned for the
present.
The driveway across the slips of the
Camden ferry house will be So feet wide
and 469 feet long. The train shed will be
$50 by 900 feet. There will be twelve
tracks The exterior of the ferry house
will be of steel framing, with orname ntal
galvanized iron and copper

Court.

Court was held on Friday. The first
matter taken up was the sentencing Of
prisoners who were brought in from the
Jail by the constables in attendance
Dow Sanford Williams, colored, against
whom an Indictment for breaking and en-
tering the residence. of Mrs. John H.
Leesh in Riverside had been found at the
January term, 1900, and who was to have
been tried on Friday, was first called and
through his attorney, Eckard P. Budd,
entered plea of non vult contendere.
Williams was tried last May, the result OF
the trial being disagreement of the jury.
In consideration of the fact that he has
been imprisoned in the county jail await
ing trial since February, 1900, his SEN
tence was fixed at further period of rs
days there.
Charles Kelse, who had pleaded guilty
to an indictment for assault, with intent
to kill Elmer Conard, of Juliustown, was
sentenced to one year in state prison.
Joel Rakestraw, who had pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging him
with breaking and entering the dwelling
of his wife in Burlington and also to
another Indictment for atrocious assault
upon Mabel Hubbs, of Burlington, was
next called. He was sentenced upon one
indictment only, that for breaking and
entering the term fixed being one year
in state prison. As to the other, for as
sault, sentence was suspended upon con
dition stated by the Judge that if he re-
turns to Burlington upon being released
from state prison, he will be again
called into Court and made to serve time
for this also.
Isaac Harris, Edward Deamus, Walter
Corsey and William Timbers, the four
colored men who were convicted of as
sault and battery upon Douglas Durell
in Burlington, were called up to receive
sentence Charles K. Chambers made a
plea in behalf of Deamus and Corsey,
stating that the whole affair as it
developed at the trial was much more
trivial than had been supposed, and asked
that instead of imprisonment in the
county Jail which would be very incon-
venient for his men at this time, small
fines be imposed. Upon inquiry made of
the defendants by the Judge, all except
Harris, expressed their ability to pay
small fines. They we're then sentenced as
follows: Deamus and Corsey, each to pay
a fine of $25 without costs; Timbers, a
fine of $50 without costs; Harris was
given term of four months in the county
Jail.
Licenses were transferred as follows
The Jacksonville hotel to Charles G..
Berry.
The Walsh hotel, Vincentown to John
O'Leary, Jr.
Mary Berry was granted permission to
transfer her saloon from the present loca-
ton on Water street to the house former
ly owned by Charles Heiss, corner of

ton to recover money due on a bond.
The jury rendered verdict in favor of
plaintiff for the principal and interest,
amounting to $39505.

For Better Water.

Within month the Mount Holly Water
ment in advance of the rents due for using
its production The bills will contain the
usual clause that if the bill is not paid in
fifteen days the water will be shut off.
In order to discover what the Company
proposes to do towards improving the sup
ply and abolishing the nuisance with
which we have put up for the past three
or four years, letter was sent to the COM
mittee in charge of the artesian well pro-
ject and an answer has been received.
The gentleman says: Il am seriously
considering proposition to install an ex-
perimental compre ssed air plant to test the
artesian well. There is possibility that
an air lift might raise sufficient water to
render the well practical as source of
supply. expect to decide upon this early
this week, and after that whatever is de-
cided upon will be done at once.
I'VE have had the same problems to deal
with for the improvement of our small
of large city, which could command the
services of high priced experts. l have
been at much disadvantage in studying up
and determining all these questions, as
they have arisen, but think I am fairly
on the track now, and if my proposed ex-
pertinent with the air lift fails, have in
view what think will be the right type
of filtration plant. will be glad to give
you any information in my power at any
time"
This indicates that the Company is not
entirely asleep, and it is to be hoped these
experiments will not be too long delayed
The summer will soon be here and what
ever is done should be completed before the
water gets so low in the creek as to cause
the disagreeable results which the con-
sumers have so long endured.
