BOER LOSSES ARE HEAVY
Forced to Retreat After Fierce
Fight With British.
1877 WERE KILLED OR WOUNDED
8ritons Entrenched Themselves, and,
Getting Guns Into Action, RepeIIed
the Beers Determined Attacks.
Bravery of Canadians

klerlsdorp. Transvaal Colony,
April "details received Of the battle
at Doornbalt farm March 81, in which
the British had three officers and "a
men killed and 16 officers and 131
men wounded, while the Beers had
1877 men killed or wounded, show that
quite 1000 Beers opened a strong at
tack from different points, with three
guns and pompom. This attack was
made at q moment when the British
had left their luggage in laager in
charge of the Canadian contingent and
were galloping across the open plain,
with the intention of capturing
Boer convoy which had been discov
cred five miles ahead. The British
retired steadily, and, having dismount-
ed, opened return fusillade on the
Beers.
While the luggage in charge Of the
Canadians was sent for, the British
formed camp and started digging
trenches. The shelling of the Beers
stampeded the mules and caused con-
fusion, but otherwise it was not very
effective, as many shells failed to
explode.
The Canadians front was attacked
in strong numbers, but they gallantly
repelled every attempt made by the
Beers to break through. One party of
the Canadians fought until all were
killed or wounded, and the last man
of this party, although mortally
wounded, emptied two bandoliers of
cartridges at the enemy and then
broke his rife.
The fighting was severe and gen
eral for fully three hours, but after
the British had cntrenched and the
guns got into action the forces re-
PEELED numerous and determined at
tacks made under the personal ex'
hortations of the Boer leaders
Towards night the fire gradually
ceased and the Beers retired. The
British then telegraphed for aid, and
further entrenched their camp for the
night. to await the arrival OF General
Kitchener, but the Beers made no at
tempt to renew the attack.

to Fight the Beers.

Washington, April 4.-General Sam.
uel Pearson, formerly of the Boer
army, has returned to Washington
from New Orleans. where he went to
gather proof to substantiate his charge

$4,000 men to aid the British in their
fight against the Beers and had fur
nished the British government with
POI. 107 horses and mules. He said
there are one British general, two
colonels and sixty captains and lieu
tenants in this country with head
quarters at New Orleans.

New Jersey Coue:e Married Two
Years Breaks the Record.

Woodl nry, n. D., April Half the
people around the village of Barnes
boro just below here, visited the resi-
dcnce of Daniel Newsletter young
farmer whose place is about four
miles from the village. There was
an event in the home of Mr.. New
shafer on Saturday morning that was
quite unique in that vicinity. Mrs.
Newshafer became the proud mother
OF three charming little girl babies,
very tiny, but very lusty of lung. and
she is reported as doing very nicely
under the circumstances. Newshafer
himself is said to have had turn for
the worse during the day. but the
physician hopes to pull him through.
The triplets might have attracted
attention enough of their own account,
but that they have probably broken
some records adds to their renown.
The Newshafers have been married
just two years. One year after the
tying of the knot Newshafer was made
very proud over the possession of
twin boys, both of whom have grown
well and flourished like weeds. Now
that his family is suddenly increased

water.
Nothing is left of the boardwalk
from Illinois avenue to a point within
a few feet. of Young's Pier but the
iron supports. This is the portion of
the walk that is mostly used by prone
naders. The Dunlop hotel and the
Bleak House, massive brick structures
at Tennessee avenue and the beach,
were in grave danger when the con-
hagration was at it's height. The en-
ployes of both houses played streams
of water upon the buildings from all

vented the further spread OF the

MURDERER LANE FOUND GUILTY
Slayer of Miss Jarden and Daughters
Sentenced to Hang.
Philadelphia, April 5.-Exactly nine
hours after his third victim had died.
William Fl. Lane, the self-confessed
murderer of Mrs. Jarden and her two
daughters, was convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to death
by hanging. After hearing all the evil
dence in the case and full confession
made by Lane before the court, Judge
Biddle, at 2.30 o'clock yesterday after
noon fixed the grade of crime at muir
der in the first degree. Sentence was
Immediately pronounced. The convic-
tion of Lane whose death sentence was
pronounced but little more than three
days after his crime was committed, is
one of the quickest instances of the
kind on record.
Eloise, the 7-year-old daughter of
Ella Jarden, who was also known as
Mrs. Furbush and Mrs. Fisher, passed
quietly away yesterday morning at the
Hahnemann Hospital, where for nearly
three days she had been making a
brave struggle for life. The physicians
at the hospital say that the fatal bullet
entered the child's body below the last
rib and penetrated the abdomen, lodg-
ing in the back wall.
Public opinion. already bitter against
the colored man. is aroused anew by
the death OF his third victim, and his
trial was as brief as the law would al
low. Although custom usually allows
murderer four months to live after
his sentence is pronounced, he is le-
gally entitled to but q days.
