A Journal spe cial frGin London -says: "Harrassed by hours of heavy fire from the Boer guns, Warren was forced to evacuate Spion Kop Wednesday night, after holding it a day under a shell fire so incessant and accurate that the British troops were mowed down by bundreds. "Warren's fight -cost thousands cf dead and wounded on both sides. No attempt is made by Buller to (send a list of Warren's casualties. "The kopje carried lay Warren prov ed to be crily a small part of the Boer defense and a half-hearted fight was put up by the Boers to "hold it. There are indications that it -was a wily plot to lure Warren into a trap where his troops could be cut to pieces without any risk to the Boers. No sooner had Warren settled drwn in the caotureai - trenches than the Boers unmasked thef guns they had kept hidden during the five days' fierce preliminary fighting. From a high plateau dominating the captured trenches a tornado of shell and shrapnel oroke loose. The Boers' gunners had the range to the inch. Warren was helpless-'in the trap. No guns had been or could be dragged up the steep hill. Retreat by daylight was impossible." LOSSES ON 24TH, 209. LONDON, Jan. 26.

MISS JOHNSON'S DRAMA Furnishes a Fme Field for Mr, Young's Varied Gifts-Lord Byron" His Best Woik-The P Drama is Cleverlv Written and "Was Superbly 5et and Acted? In ithe four prinoipal orders' o'poet ry, the literature of England .hiks pro duced four poets of unsurpaissed geni up: Shakespeare in dramatic; Milton in reflectivie so far as this may be re garded as a special class Scott ' In epic and Byron in lyrical poetry, 'the latter being 'understood in its moat comprehensive sens a- as subjective poetrjr. Of these (four writers Byron has the least organic connection witQi. the literature of his country antecedent to his own time. In Shakespeare the: dra matic poetry of the nation in its gradual rise and progress attained, its culmination; Milton, both politically and religiously, was the noblest ex pression of PuTatanism; and in Scott the pic characteristics' of Scottish na tional life and dbaraicter ound their laft and best .representation. In Byron one looks im vain for a eorrespending basis of bis poetry; in hi & sudden rise, in 'his career, in his splendour and dis appearance, he resembled a jnnetear, as far at leasft as English literature is Concerned. There is a great Byron ie revival now going on, just as- there was a Najpoleonic revival a year or so ago. uut or the latter was evolved a play written for 'Rbchiard' Mansfield: ilvtr. James Young has been ithe? choaen ac tor to presenta dranna written "3i)u;t 'the life of Lord1:: Byrn.-The' '-stains vpihich have, rested on Byrfl-ni's c'hiixac- ter must Jbe ( wiped away atsroneej intli decisively IThe foul calumaiie3;wher 'eTliiSpiner, years, loudly and? ?un blus'hingly uttered, in recent dbys, must - be p rovet to be slieh. Th4,the beautiful 4-aefc drama, 'Jytgttf. ten; by Miss Rida Iioaiise Johiistjm, and presented I'tst night by Mr. Young goes; far .tq.$ong. The play is to be consid e&d int&ree acts: Lditerary, h;i.sbori cal, theatrical. -. ""As soon Seek rose in December, ?ei Juae; Hope constancy in . wind,;; or .?a;n : in Chaff, Believe a woman, or an epi Or any other thing that's raise, before You trust in critics' said Byron at a time whea' ihe "loved net the world, nor ihe world Mm." Tne cilties of the Byaonic Renaissance however, have done so much to wipe out the train upon the poef s name that possibly the genius, of 1788-1824 would take back those lines. . jc As a literary production the play of last night is full of .merit and! stamps Miss Johnson asi a play-wright of more than ordinary ability. She has caught well the spirit, of the age in which the beautiful poet who "had sighed tV many though he loved but one," lived. The Byronic' period and revels were" portrayed With a natural ness that, was 'fascinating to Byranic temperament, even the death heads at the feast being Byronically appropri ate. fHistori cally ,the play Was mo re tnan inrtleresting recalling to mind the life of the poet who in "crossing the niarrow gulf between youth, and! man hood stood so often on 'The Bridge of Sighs.' Miiss Johnson's pl'ay gives the world a diff erent Mea of the . poet than the world has generally had', making him more good- than bad. His was a life and nature capable of the greatest good hii diverted ' from the channel of rfeht by the baleful influence of "woman," be became the Byron- of the mid-night revel; the Byron T ofc. the salon, and he passed as at, meteor, leaviing beMnd1 a blank, save -for his poetic genius. . iTheatrically the play was the gem of haot one but -many seasons. The scenery was painted by Gates and aiorange anu Henry E. Hoyt, and was the handsom est by far ever put on the Charlotte stage. It was Byrcnic in beauty and artistic effect. The costumes ware beautiful in texture, style and appro priateness' to the Byronic age. The ciinjiAftswas V excentionallv ' fine. The . . , - . well as Byron, rise 10 me sentuut?ut inspiring by both, and enter into the spirit of the play with an interest and dash that is delightfully realistic. It were unnecessary to say that he wo men were pretty Byron would have none other about him. . "Lord Byron" is the best work Mr. Young ' has ever done. He is more natural m tnis piay than asnything he has ever appeared here in." Only in the tMrd.act is there any ranting, and that in much milder j; form - than marKs nis snaKespearan worlc-i His make-up as Lord Byron is 1- not exaggerated "in any way. Byron was handsome; ; so is Mr; Young. By ron vwsia debonair, and, fascinating to women; so is Mr. Young, Byron was graceftiVini word and manner; so is Mr. Youngi ; In these and many other points: the handsome young actor of last night - had no difficulty in imper sonating the beautiful poetic genius, who expressed the cause of his unhap piness thus: . : "The thorns which I have reaped are Of the tree I planted They have torn me,, and I bleed." Byron's enterprise for the liberation of Greece form the foundation of the two last scenes scenes full of action fand which gave the artist of iast night full- scope for his) talent. He was equal to all that the ' play suggested or v prought cut, ; and the audience was charmed into silence. The mind forgot to will that the hands should clap, or the feet stormy People listened with an infen;i!:ty ihat was a - trib uta ta the power of the gifted young actor, and the equally gifted young play-wright, Miss Johnson. And this is all. ; "And what ds .writ is vrit Would it were worthier!" CHILDREN HURT. Two Little Ones Under Wagon Wheels. Yesterday afternoon a distressing ac cident occurred to the south of the city, near the oil depot of Messrs. Le onard & Ellis. A little child of a Mr. Furr, who lives near the scene of the accident, was playing in the street, when-it 'was knocked dovn by a pass ing team. Before the little one could get out of the "way, one of the wheels of the wagon passed over its head. Had it not been that the earth was very soft where the child was run over, death would have certainly resulted. As it was the child's head was buried in the earth, and the skull not cruslied. Just about the same time, in the city. Elizabeth,, the little two-year-old daughter of Mr. J. I. Blakeley, whose home is on North Poplar street had a1; Similar accident.
