tramp, was "A whole show in himself

ting into trouble but got out of il with
the same alacrity and the variety and
nature of his predicamcnts was indeed
lauShablc. 1t was through the perse-
verence of this good natured tramp
that mysterious crime was cleared
up. The play is Il comedy with very
little plot, its evident purpose being to
amusc the audience and the merrjmcnt
which II provoked showed its success
in this line.

Der of musical Spccialties which were
good. George Arcott in his whiting
act and Representations is worthy Of
mention. Other spccialities, the con-
tortionist. etc. were well worthy of
communication. Taken altogether il
formed a pleasant evenings entertain
ment and that was what the people
went to see.

A Correction.

In the account of an elopcment of
couple from neiShborfnS town.
vhich appeared in Saturdays Journal,
appeared the following:
AT the postofiice no letter has been
roc eivcd directed to her. but IA letter
has arrived asking that her mail be
forwarded to Manchester, \. II. This
Icttn, was mailed on the train in the
vicinity Of Dover, \. H., which would
lead one to believe that the clopcrs had
gone to New Hampshire.
In Justice to the officials and the
employees in the postofiice the Journal
desires to explain. that this lnforma-
ton was given to the reporter by the
deputy sheriff conducting the case.
ana not by any official or cmploye Of
the postal service.
Under the postal laws the postmas-
ter is required to give To any Official OF
Justice information obtained through
the rpstoflice. which will assist in the
tracing of criminals or fUgitiveS from
Justice: but il is to be assumed. that
such officials. having obtained this in
formation. will use it for their own
purposes. and not make it public.
that no person. who may have read the
account will suppose that any en-
ployc of the Augusta poStoiiic" would
give such information. or talk about

in HE Office would resent the idea thai
thew would tell of any ones personal

THE BICYCLE TRADE.

with improvements that he could not add
to his wheel and so he would have to buy
a new one. We used to sell or trade
new wheels every spring.
Now. however, the bicycle is standard
The spring brings new model, still but
the cnanScs in it are small The man who
buys now uses his wheel till it is worn
out.
THE gear wheel, chainless. as against

progress in tic West as it has in the East.

cost is against them. They cost So, while
as good Il wheel with Il chain, can b.
bought for SO or less. So that out here
not many arc sold. They arc good things

GEN. URIBEREPORTED DEAD
COLOMBIAN REVOLUTIONARY LEADER
SAID TO HAVE BEEN KILLED
IN BATTLE.

The report of the death of General Ralaei
Uribe-Uribe, the leader Of the Colombian insuF-
rectionists. was received in this city YESTERDAY
According to 'El Conservador,' semi-oEhcla
newspaper published at Barranquila, Gehelai
Tribe was killed at San Cristobal Nenezueia
on July %. while fighting with the Venezuelan
troops against the Colombian invaders LED py
DR.. Rangel Garbiras.
Eel Conservador's' authority for this report
is message sent by General Iguaran. in charge
Of the Colombian Government forces at Rio
Hache 10 the commander-in-ehief at Barran-
quilla.
Great excitement was caused among Colom-
bians here by the reported death of the rebel
general While there is nothing definite on
which to base a denial OF the report mace p'
General Igueran, the friends OF General CIloe
point to the significant fact that the govern
ment has not sent this important news by caole
to its representatives. The Colombian Con-
sulate has not been officially informed. Inc
consulate is inclined to discredt it, because sew
eIal times in the rebellion a year ago Generai
Tribe was declared to have been killed in baItie.
Against the opinion that the latest report con-
corning the Liberal general was only started TOT
political purposes is the absence of any direct
news from him since he left here June 10
General Tribe it is said, sailed on that date
for Venezuela Colombian Off cials said he went
there to get aid from President Castro, in the
shape of arms and ammunition. to continue the
rebellion. Since then DR.. A. J. Restrepo, dlP-
lomatic representative of the insurgents. has
received indirect information that he got BACK
safely into Colombia and is fighting at the head
of 5000 men. Direct news from General
Uribe was expected a week ago, but did not
come. His friends were again disappointed
yesterday when the steamer Zulia, of the Red
D Line, arrived without bringing letter from
him.
On July % came invasion into Venezuela
from Colombia at San Cristobal. which was re-
ported revolution against President castro,
and led by DR.. Rangel Garbiras. President
Castro characterized it as a Colombian invasion;
The invaders numbering 5000, were defeated
by 10000 Venezuelan troops who. 1t is SAD
were led by General Tribe. This explains MS
presence at San Cristobal.
If the death of General Tribe is true-and
there is positive information to the con
trary-then has the revolution been dealt It's
hardest blow. Since the revolution started, IN
October, 1899, he has been its main support
While the death of General Tribe would
prove a great loss. it would not end the insur-
rectlOn, as there several other capable lead
ers in the rebel army, Of whom Will be
chosen to take the helm.
DR.. Restrepo said last night that he does not
believe the report of General Tribes death, and
hopes to be in position TO give positive evi-
dence in a day or two that he is alive and
fighting.
Senior Eduardo Espinosa, ex-Consul- General
of Colombia in this city, also discredited the
story.
