Church Lightning Question.
EDITOR TINES.

EDITOR TINES.
DEAR Shat your request
| reply to the article in your
paper referring to the churches abus-
ing the privilege given them OF free
lights. accept the invitation, de
string to correct the false statement
there made occasioned by your being
misinfOrmed.
The city council generously and
without solicitation, gave free lights
to the churches, thus recognizing the
churches as beneficial institutions to
our city. Twill not deny that in some
instances this privilege has been
abused; butwe have used greater care
since kindly notified by the superin-
tendent.
1t is but fair to us that your read
ers shoufd be informed as to the
false attitude the churches are placed
in. We are told that the churches
use one-fourth or one fifth OF the
power OF the plant. Is this true?
Lot us see how man, lights are
used OF 16 candle power; street lights
442, arcs 90, commercial 1871,
churches 21S. making in all 2O1S,
the churches using little less than
one-tenth. The churchs do not use
their lights more than ONE-EIGHTH as
much as the other lights are used
The churches do not consume ONE.
SEVENTEEN OF the power OF the plant
as a whole.
lam not pleading for charity. ]
am not complaining against the
threat that We are to be charged for
our lights, but l am pleading for JUS
tice. The city council has placed
nv church under obligations for past
favors.

BoERS ELUDE BRITISH GRASP
Fifteen Hundred Men Are said to
Have Composed body that
Evaded Kitchener.

PRETORIA, Transvaal Colony, March 2S.
About 1,50O Beers under Delarey, Liebon-
borg, Kemp ard wolmarans we're within
the area OF Lord Kitchener's latest move
ment, but though surprised by the rapidity
displayed by the British troops. gaps in the
latters lines enabled most of the burghers
to escape. The Boer prisoners totaled 179
men, including Commandant II. Kruger,
and former Landrost Neethling OF Klerks-
dorp.
From the first prisoners captured II was
Learned that General Delarey was himself
'side the actual Gordon, having slept
~ distance westward Of Liebonborg,
q >. nd other Boer commanders were in
sio \, columns Of the enemy.
Tn, Nody, consisting of 500 Beers,
was sis ,ut 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and i at full speed, making
for a gap b d the British columns
The race for lver ensued. A force Of
mounted infantry which had already ridden
upward OF fifty miles, pressed its tired
horses until many OF the animals gave out.

on foot. Some Of the mounted men, how
ever, were able to gallop right into the
gap just ahead Of the burghers, whom they
met with a warm fire.
back a body of 300 Beers, who we're forced
to desert the guns they had captured from
the Donop convoy southwest Of Keters-
dorp, in February. The Beers tried to get
through several openings. but on each Oc-
casion were forced to double back until
they ultimately found a gap and passed out
OF the British lines, within sight of Klerks-
dorp. Many fell before the pursuing col
umns could overtake the Beers.
Five Canadians who fell out Of their COL
umn and tried to work their way back, were
surrounded by a Boer force and made a
splendid defense. But. finally, seeing their
case was hopeless, four of the Canadians
surrendered. The fifth, however. indig-
nantly refused to throw down his arms and
continued a single handed fight until he
was killed. This was regarded as one Of
the most heroic incidents of the day.
An illustration Of the resoursefulness of
the Beers was given by Liebonborg and sew
eral hundred men, when taking advantage
of the confusion of the drive, they formed
commando similar in arrangement to that
Of a British column. Moving close to one
OF the numerous gaps in one OF the British
lines they succeeded in reaching 1t and ia
getting safely away before their ruse was
detected.
The guns captured from Won Donop's con-
voy were brilliantly recaptured by the Scot
| tish Horse, which charged UP to the muz-
| zles of the artillery and rode the Boer gun
ners off their feet before the latter had q
| chance to fire.

IDENTIFIES THE DYNAMITER
Man in Canadian Prison Said to BE
Luke Dillon, Friend of
DIR. CrOnIn.

BUFFALO, March 2S.-The Express today
publishes story to the effect that Karl
Dallman, one of the three men sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the Kingston (ont.)
penitentiary for attempting to blow up a
lock In the Welland canal on April 21, 1900,
is no other than Luke Dillon, the Irish ma
tional leader and famous as a close friend
of DIR. Cronin, who was murdered in Chi
cago,
Three men were captured soon after the
explosion which wrecked a portion of one
of the Canadian canal locks. Two OF them,
John Walsh and John Noiin, were identified
and their records traced. The third man.
who gave his name az Karl Dallman, was o
mystery.
Two years ago Dillon was teller Of the
Dime Savings bank of Philadelphia. An
nouncement was made then to Dillon's
friends that he had gone to Europe year
later the report was circulated that he had
been drowned in Ireland.
The plot to blow up the Welland canal
failed. The men blundered in lowering the
dynamite into the locks, placing 1t in such
a position that the gates withstood the
shocks. Had 1t succeeded a large area OF
the surrounding country would have been
flooded and the loss of life would have been
great.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2s-Luke Dillon
was known in this city as a member of
various Irish American organizations, in
cluding the Clan Ma Gael, the Irish-Amert-
can and the Ancient order OF Hibernians.
He was also a member of the Red Men.
He had been teller OF the Dime Savings
bank in this city, but resigned that position
two years ago. 1t is said by several OF
his friends that he Joined a party of his
countrymen, who left here early in 1900 to
go to South Africa, with about fifty Irish
residents Of Chicago. for the purpose OF
Joining the Boer army.
Luke ]. Dillon, his son, occupies a cleri-
cal position in the postofice here. He de-
clined to discuss the published statement
of his fathers alleged Identification, fur
ther than to say he did not accredit the
report. He would not say how long his
! father had been absent from the city.
