INTERESTING NEWS FROM ES I tOURT TROOPSHIPS DELAY - ED BOERS WILL TRY TO " CArTl'RE K1MBERLET. London. Nov. 10. The British war of fice has received from General Bullr the following: "Capetown. Thursday evening, Nov. 9. Have received by pigeon post from White today the following: "Bombard irient at long range by heavy guns con tinues daily. Few casualties are occur i ing, but no serfous harm is being done. The Boers sent In todav a number of Jtfugees from the Transvaal under a Has of truce. A flag of truce from La Uysmith met them outside the pickets. .When the party separated .the1 Boer Euns. fired before it reached our pickets. Major dale of the Royal engineers, was wounded today while sending a mes sage. The entrenchments are daily ;growing stronger and the supply of provisions is ample." DARKEST PAGE BEING WRITTEN. To the eyes of military experts thej darkest page of the war i now being written. But even that is illuminated with bright passages, such as General White's vicious sorties. If he can keen he British tlag flying over Ladysmtth until he is relieved, the campaign will turn a fresh page and with the advance of Sir Redvers Buller's force, the Brit ish public is promised more cheerful reading. The feeling of relief inspired by re cent pood tidings is nevertheless tinged by a certain anxiety lest General White should again make some fatal miscal culations involving a repetition of the Nicholson's N,ek disaster. Her majesty does not share this anxiety, and appa rently is sanguine of his ability to pull through successfully. It is asserted that she has written to Lady White ex pressing sympathty with her husbandin, the trials and difficulties he is now ex periencing and assuring Lady White of her own undiminshed confidence in his generalship. The purport of this letter has been cabled to General White by the Marquis of Landsdowne. INTERESTING NEWS. The most interesting news is a dis patch from Estcourt, announcing the departure of a strong force of mounted troops and artillery for a destination not given in the advices. Another mes- . 1 1 n.uin at tho arrival sit F!.teourt and Pietermarltzberg wlihin the last! , - -- c . . 111.,- I lew aays ot reinioi veieiiL uum . ban and that 3300 troops are assembled ready for an advance to Colenso when the opportune moment arrives. The lat Ur dispatch throws light upon the for mer, and the force whi'ch left Estcourt Monday has doubtless re-organized Co lenso and possibly now advancing cau tiously up the railroad toward Lady smith, the scene of General White's sortie of Friday, almost to the banks of the Tugela river, encouraging its com mander in the hope of joining hands with him. General Jnubert. the latest advices would indicate, drew in his horns after Friday's engagement and has since withdrawn the Southern Boer contin gents leaving only outposts on the line f i om Ladysmith to Colenso. The Koers who occupied Colenso about the middle of last week retired without damaging Bulwer bridge over the Tugela river or the railroad as far north as the village of Nelthrope, seven miles south of La dysmith. Evidently they nurse a hope of eventually utilizing both in their de scent tn Pietermaritzburg. Meanwhile the British are also able to use both, s.s thev have already done, in running up an armored train, which may at the present moment be covering the ad vance of the Estcourt force. At Estcourt and Pietermaritzburg the defensive works have been greatly strengthened within fhe last few days, and they are now believed capable of holding their own against any Boer force which General Joubert would at the present Juncture risk sendins against either town. Both are likely to be strengthened before the week is out by a further naval force and even by the first detachment of General Bul ler's army corps. TROOPSHIPS DELAYED. one of the troopships have arrived. The one which It was predicted might reach Capetown, at the earliest on Monday, is as yet unannounced, and even when it does arrive there, tt will have three days time in which to reach it.i.i.ii ' a a wianv hIt transoorts. Lu: uan. "-J with "3400 troops, were expected to be in Capetown harbor by this time, bat the war office last night Issued a state ment to the effect that the only arrival at Capetown were tire Sumatra, from Durban, with wounded, the Southern Cross from Gibraltar with mules, and the collier Wenvoe. Of course It is possible that dispatch boats have been sent to meet the trans ports with instructions to proceed di rect to Durban, and In that event the war office statement that not on has arrived at Capetown would be literally accurate, even though several should be half way between Capetown and Durban. m. , The situation looks brighter at Mate king where the Boers are apparently disheartened at the unexpected resistance, a large body of their force having been detached to the south In the investment of Kimberley. around which the cordon Is drawing tighter. Evidently the Boers intend to make a concentrated effort to capture Kimberly and that arch-enemy. Cecil Rh0deTHE BRITISH UNEASY.

While the pigeon dispatch shows that General White's beleagured garrison was homing us o n jraini; it is feared, the silence regarding what the British artillery was doing in reply to Boer guns indicates that 4he dread that White is short of long range am munition was not-KTOtindlessi One very serious passage in White s rnesage gives the first official confirmation of the statements of the Boer s treachery which there has been a disposition hitherto toi discredit, but which is now acVTpted as partly true.

THE DIRECTORS ARE TRYING TO -IMPROVE MATTERS - REGARD ING RESERVATIONS . At the monthly meeting of the board of 'directors of the Board of Trade yes terday John A. Roebling resigned as a director, on account of the "pressure of other duties, and Prof. J. D. Eggleston. Jr., was elected to succeed" him. Frank Carter; esq., was elected sec ond vice-president to succeed Haywood Parker, esq., who was recently elected first vice-president to succeed W. F. Snider, resigned. Secretary Jones was instructed to correspond with the Southern Railway company officials to the end that an improvement may be wrought in sleep ing car matters. As ft is now. a person who wants a sleeper out of Asheville cannot know until a few hours before train time whether he can secure space. Reservations may be made days before hand and yet it may turn out that after all his plans are made he will find him self unable to get a berth. It is in the hope of bettering this condition of af fairs that the directors are acting, arid if they succeed the traveling public will rise up and call them blessed. . Prof. J. D. Eggleston, jr., Thomas Wadley Raoul and B. M. Jones were ap pointed to consider the advisability of issuing another Asheville pamphlet one even more elaborate than the pam phlet first issued The committee will report its recommendations to the Board of Trade. Secretary Jones' report showed the cash on hand October 31 to be $556.44- HOME MISSION WORK. Miss Jennie Towles of Crabtree Speaks to the W. M. S. Tne Woman's Missionary society of the First Presbyterian church was en tertained at the residence of Mrs. T. S. Morrison yesterday. About 70 ladies were present. The foreign mission topic was omit ted and the entire hour given to home mission interests. The almshouse committee brought Hour bags which are to be marked with the recipients name, filled with patch work scraps and presented to all the old lady inmates. They greatly desire this employment and derive much pleasure. Plans for sending some Christmas boxes for the children in home fields and Mexico were discussed, after which Miss Jennie Towles of Crabtree was in troduced. Miss Towles spoke briefly of how beautifully Crabtree is situated, and said the people are well to do but lack educational advantages and the gospel. Her work began with three lit tle girls and has grown into a Sabbath school of 200, 50 of whom are members of her class. The three little girls came to Miss Towles to be amused one Sabbath afternoon and she told them Bible stories and taught them from a mouse-nibbled catechism thrown aside, by a colporteur. These children cried to continue these lessons and soon recited perfectly the whole of the catchism. The news spread and others flocked in until Miss Towles fitted up the base ment of an old tobacco barn. Here children gathered from the mountains and coves around, waVking several miles barefooted in cold weather, and mastered the catechism with astonish ing rapidly. The demand for the books became greater than the supply and were passed on from one to another, one njother in her earnestness declar ing "we' must have that catechism. I'll sell the last hen I've got to pay for some of them' - The Asheville presbytery recognizing the power of the work being done has erected a comfortable school house, which is almost complete, where a day school will be taught by Miss Towles. and the Sabbath work continued under more favorable circumstances. MissTowles continued: "Last year I had the children, this year I have the mothf-rs." She spoke of the comfort andanliness of the homes and in viUdtiiose present to visit her and witness the marvelous attainments of hlr little friends. She also spoke with pathetic tenderness of a young man, a paralytic, also a young girl from a neighboring mountain top. both of whom have made remarkable progress in spiritual' and educational things. The fields indeed are "white to the har vest." but the laborers are few. Miss Towles' seal was infectious and' volun tary offerings of religious papers, catechisms and other needed supplies were made. Refreshments were served during the session. PLAINTIFF LOSES. Juris;ment In the Robinson Divorce Case in Washington. Attorney J. M. Gudger, jr., was ad vised yesterday of the decision of the Court of Equity In Washington in the case of M. E. Robinson vs. Nancy Rob inson. The plaintiff is a Federal pen sioner and has a government positien in Washington. Several years ago Mrs. Robinson brought suit for divorce from bed and board, and the -court's decree allowed her $22 a month alimony. Robinson brought suit in the Wash ington court for absolute divoree, giv ing as his grounds her refusal to leave her home in Madison county and go to Washington to live with him. In this court it is found that the plaintiff's evi dence does not support his allegations, and that the matter is res adjudicata. Evidence in the case was taken be fore L. A. Farinholt at Asheville and G. M. McDowell at Marshall. The plaintiff was represented by James Hunter of Washington, while the de fendant was represented by Senator Pritchard. J. M.
