GERMAN MATCH MEN RUINED.
American Company with Modern Ma.

American Company with Modern Ma
chinery Captures Trade.
The German matchmaking business,
in which about $9,75O,000 Of capital is
invested, has been brought within meas
urable distance of ruin by the output of
the American Diamond Match Company's
new factories near Mannheim. The Dia-
mond company uses machinery from the
United States. Forty match manufacture
ers, representing the entire match indus
try in Germany, met in Berlin and de-
bated the situation. The possibility Of
limiting the production of matches was
discussed, but the representatives Of the
Diamond company said the only limit to
their production would be inability to sell
the product of all their machines now
installed and that of all the machines
that could be installed. 1t is probable
that four or five of the larger German
match manufacturers will make a propo-
sltion to be taken into the Diamond com
PAW.

has been missing for three days, was
found dead in a ditch which at high tide
is known as the Morris canal, between
the Hackensack and Passaic bridges, ID
Kearney township, just over the Jersey
City line. That the woman was murder
ed there is abundant evidence, first in the
mutilation of the body, there being two
fractures of the skull, made by two blows,
while a cash six inches long had been
made in the abdomen. A leather strap
had been wound twice around the body.
Attached to the end of the strap was
hitching weight weighing twenty pounds.
Evidence was discovered tending to show
that two men were concerned with the
disposition Of the body. Bridgetenders
John Kane and John Lynch said that late
Tuesday night a closed cab came along
from the direction of Newark. Two
young and Wel-dressed men sat together
on the front seat. There were no lights
on the vehicle and Kane saw that the
curtains had been pulled closely.

BRITISH RULE IN SOUTH AFRICA
Dissatisfaction Over Awards on Losses
in Boer War Is Widespread.

Dissatisfaction Over Awards on Losses
in Boer War Is Widespread.
The Johannesburg correspondent of the
London Times says dissatisfaction IS eX-
pressed in various parts of the country
with the hardness in the awards Of COM
pensation for the losses. The compensa-
ton commissions appointed to settle
claims for damages done by British
troops have paid only small number of
communicating notes. Out of 4o,OOO
claims registered but 10000 have been
disposed Of. The commissions are con-
tinually liable to change of personnel and
repeated inconsistency in judgments is
alleged. The correspondent says he IN
derstands that both the civil and military
authorities are anxious that the military
commissions be abolished and that the
whole work Of compensation be turned
over to the civil government. The delay
in doing this is caused by the indecision
Of the home government. This, says the
correspondent, is one of the cases where
friction could be obviated by allowing
free hand to the colonial government.
