A Clash Where he Sharp Tactics of a British officer bat Away With the . Arab. . . j.- V '.' f ; Londoit, Feb. 22.A dispatch from Abu Klea says that -General Buller arrived there on the 15 th inst. from Gubat. At noon, on the 47th, he commenced a systematic shelling of the Arab 'lines. The well-directed shots did the enemy great damage, one exploding amidst a group of men engaged in placing a howitzer on the summit of a hill east o the sailors' fort, and the other removing the wheels of a gun carriage. , Lord Chas Bersford also did the enemy great injury with the Gardner guns. The honors of the day fell to Major Wardrop, who, with thirteen men, stole cautiously round the enemy's right, and found that they had only a few hundred riflemen on the hills, and no reserve spears. Keeping out of sight he sent volleys at a range of 800 vards on the enemy's flank. Leaving one man at this point to con tinue the firing, he took the twelve others and quickly as possible pur sued the same tactics at three succes sive hills, saving the Arabs the lm nression that fresh bodies of British trooDS were arriving The Mahdi's forces became panic stricken, ceased firing and decamDed toward Metem- neth, taking their guns, dead and wounded with .them. A tew A.rao scouts onlv were left, three miles off. to watch the movements. There has been no sign of the enemy since, General Buller will - advance to Gak dul as soon as reinforcements arrive from Korti. The British loss during the engagement was four killed and twenty-live wounded. , A JBOTUEK'S DJGVOTION. Crossing the Seas to Intercede for Her Wicked Son. : Denver. Feb. 23. Philonius Gallo ti was pardoned by Governor Eaton, yesterday. He was sent to the pern tentiary for life in 1877. for a cold .blooded murder. Galloti for the last two years has been confined to his bed in the hospital, and the doctors say he has but a few months to live at most. Galoti's mother.- aged sev enty years, is now in Denver, having come all the way from Italy to inter cede tor her son's pardon. By sav ing for years she has got a little . money together, and will leave at once with her son for Italy. Galloti belonged in his younger days to a gang of Italian bandits, and was forced to leave that country on ac count of his crimes. His crime was that of murdering four of his coun try men there - for money in 1876. Three accomplices" are now serving life sentences. A technicality in the ' law saved them from hanging. It is not believed that the dying bandit will live to reach his former home in . Italy. .-.. -.: '-....- AftOTUER GEORGIA WONDER. The Marietta Girl who Eclipses Lola . ' ; Hurst. ' Marietta, Feb. 22.

A painful effect ' or the dynamite panic upon the gov ernment has been to throw hundreds of Irish out of employment and to cast suspicion upon everything"" of Irish source. The ludicrous extrem ity to which such proceedings are carried is illustrated by the action of the home secretary, who sent an ofn - cial to the House of Commons to in quire if any Irishmen were employ ed.
