from Itlldoyard, PIctt-ritinrltzbuM. a tclcKrain
dated November 1ft, of which tho followlntf Is
the purpoit:
Tho dfllcors eonunaiidlns tbo trodps at Kst

While retiring some of tho trucks weroderallod.
The Dublin turned out and advanced towards
tho enemy, while tho rest of tho train appears
to have returned without them to Kstcourt.
Tho placer comuiutulliiK tho troops reports
that ho was sending mounted troops In order to
cover their withdrawal, but that about too are
mlsslai..
Tho earliest aceountB of this affair
differ In details, but it is evident that
tho train was suddenly fired upon be
tween Kstcourt and Colenso, and prob
ably derailed. Tho train's gun was
disabled, according to one account,
and the men were forced into a hard
light, in which there were serious
losses in killed nnd wounded, a;ul pos
sibly prisoners as well. It was a good
Hour trap, and the British forco wf.s
apparently surprised. Kstcourt has
already been re-enforced, and It Is not
likely that tho Moors will attempt to
Invest It. Among the prisoners is
Lieut. Winston Churchill, son of Lady
Randolph Churchill.

Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 18 J. F.
Mellingcr, of this city, has made a pub
lic statement that ho was guilty of
burning a barn about 18 years ago for
which another person, named Charles
Sumeskey, suffered punishment. Uoth
Were but boys at the time of the occur
rence. Mellingcr and a young sister
were playing in the barn and the boy
set lire to a small pile of straw. The
fire made such rapid headway that the
girl did not escape from the building
and was burned to death. The Sumes
key boy was near by and Mellingcr
put the blame upon him, and at the
trial was tho prosecuting witness. The
Sumeskey lad was sent to the reform
school and served several years. At a
revival meeting recently Mellingcr was
converted, and ho has made this public
announcement in the hope that the
wrong did an innocent person may bo
at least partially righted.

Chicago, Nov. 18. Michael Kmil
Rollinger was hanged here Friday for
the murder of his wife, Theresa, at
their home in this city December 10,
18'JS. The manner in which he is said
to have disposed of his wife was first
by choking her and then building a
lire with some furniture and placing
the body on it. Suspicion was aroused
by his actions and an investigation by
the police resulted in his arrest for
murder. The motive for his crime, it
is said, was the love of Lena I looker,
a woman who sailed from the same
country (Austria) as Uollinger. It is
supposed that he killed his wife in
order that he might marry tho girl.
One of the ehief witnesses against him
was his 11-year-old son, who declared
all the children had been sent away on
a slight pretext tho day the crime is
said to have been committed.

'l'rnu Delivery or Mull.
Washington, Nov. 18. There is a dif
ference of opinion in the post dllleo 'de
partment as to tho value of the rural
free delivery service. 11 his report
Assistant Postmaster General Heath
speaks enthusiastically of what has before tiio general assembly of this
been accomplished during the year in ! state to limit tho suffrage of tho ne
tho lino of supplying to country dis- groes in this state. The bishop said ho
trlcts mail by currier. Mr. Heath pro- proposed to take the stump In Georgia
nounccs the experiment an unqualified ( against it and Implored every colored
success, and advocates appropriations minister to do likewise. Ho said tho
by the coining congress for the contin
uance ami extension ol tne now .sys
tem. On November 1, lS'JU, rural free
delivery was in operation from :3u dis
tributing points, radiating over 40
states. When carefully established
rural free delivery, Mr. Heath believes,
can be made self-supporting. In his
annual report ho gives reasons and
figures for this belief, lie says tho
rural free delivery service contains
great possibilities of social, industrial
and educational development, and
should receive tho encouragement of
congress.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
llristow, in his annual report just out,
has a short paragraph which is gen
erally referred to as a "black eye" for
the now service. Mr. llristow says
that the extension of tho rural froo de
livery service throughout the country
has resulted in the discontinuance of
80 post olllces, tho salaries of tho post
masters of which aggregated S4.710.
While Mr. llristow makes no comment
upon these facts, tho Inference which
is naturally drawn from them Is that
while S:!00,()00 was spent during the
current year for tho rural free delivery
service, the saving in postmasters'
salaries through the Inauguration of
the new system was less than S3, 000.
His report would Indicate also that tho
popularity of the rural free delivery
service over the old system of country
post olllces is questionable.

rt'e, 1VI1I Slioiv a Wonderful I'mreim
' In llbi Depiirtiuent for the Year.
Washington, NoyT 'JO.-Thn forth
coming annual report of the secretary
of agriculture, which is nearly ready
for trutisinlsslon to the president, will
show, a wonderful progress for this de
pnrtment during tho year. The duties
of 'Mir department have boon broadened
under the. present administration and
now Holds havo been occupied which
havo never heretofore been touched by
tho government. Several of tho lines
of now work and now investigations
undertaken by Secretary Wilson have
proved extremely popular; tho resultn
attained are of practical value to farm
ers, breeders ami fruitgrowers. Much
work has also been started which will
require years to complete, as certain
investigations and experiments neces
sarily occupy a long period before defi
nite results can be attained.
Tho department has hud socd guth
crers and ''explorers" in every quarter
of the globe, and the narration of their
investigation forms highly interesting
reading. Their reports Indicate that
thero Is a vast amount yet to learn
about tho world's products and plants.
Ouo agent in tho arid regions of
Algeria found species of grasses and
forage plants which are proving of
great value to the southwestern part
of tho United States, where soil and
climatic conditions aro similar to the
arid countries of the old world.
The plant introduction of last year
which may prove of millions of dollars'
value to western stock raisers is the
Turkestan alfalfa. During tho severe
blizzard of lust winter nearly all tho
common alfalfa of the central west,
where this plant is the principal forage
Orop, was killed, while tho Turkestan
variety is found to have perfectly with
stood this weather thus proving Its
great hardiness.
The bureau of animal Industry In n
large institution in Itself and has been
doing some important independent
work in experimenting with cures for
animal diseases. The hog cholera
serum cure is found to have been as
effective as at first anticipated, nnd
will, when generally used, the secretary
predicts, save hog raisers in the west
millions of dollars annually.
Irrigation Investigat ion has been
made a special feature of tho depart
ment's work during the year, nnd Sec
retary Wilson himself in his western
trip looked Into this subject and also
studied the problem now agitating tho
west as to a proper control of the pub
lie grazing lands.
Tlie secretary has said that the re
cent rise in the price of beef was duo
to tho increased demand, coupled with
the diminished capacity of tho western
grazing lands, owing to an overstock
ing and killing out of the native grasses,
lie will make a recommendation thut
congress allow the western states to
lease these public grazing lands and
apply tho rental to Irrigation and other
improvements. This will allow eueh
renter to fence and improve ills hold
ing, rest his grass land and generally
improve the property, which will re
sult in a greater grazing capacity for
tho laud and also obviate the present
strife growing out of the open range
method.

Washington, Nov. 'JO. Uecent requi
sitions by the chief of the medical serv
ice at Manila for supplies show what
remarkable provisions the government
makes for its soldiers. There were on
this list TilO different items, and among
them were tho following: Ten million
quinine tablets, 7,.ri00,000 grains of
quinine, '10 tons of Hpsom salts, il.OOO
bottles of iodoform dressing, 8,000 bot
tles of collodion, fi.OOO bottles of bis
muth, 1,000,000 strychnine tablets, 10,
000 quart bottles of whisky, 7,000 bot
tles of alcohol, fi.OOO bottles of pare
goric and 1,000,000 tablets of salol for
typhoid fever. From the character
and quantity of these supplies it in
evident that the occurrence of typhoid
and malarial fever is more to be appre
hended than wounds received in buttle.
