Some Ore Places Two Dynamite Joints

fore the Train Passes.
Is it possible that there is a
in our county who is so lowlWw' " 7"-
man
down in character and devoid of
principle as to do such a things ;
as done on last Saturday morn- j
ing about 7 o'clock? No graver
offence lias been perpetrated in j
the hi-tory of our county than i
that oi last Saturday morning
tfhen some one placed two joints ;
of dynamite, with the caps inside
of them, on the railroad" track
just a short distance above the
Buffalo mills. They were fas
tened to the rail securely.
By some good fortune Mr.
Jno. Moore, who is av straight
forward and trustworthy old gen
tleman, passed along the railroad
and detected them. He took
them off of the rails and started
to the depot to report the matter
to the agent, and had walked
only a short distance when No."

and Florida train, blew.
It is enough to make one shud
der with ir:ght to think of the
result had Mr. Moore not de-
- tected tb e dynamite. A wrecked
train and losses of -life would
have resulted. r - : - ;

QW. BULLER DEFEATED.
Attempts to Cross .the piyey nd Fails
Eleven Cumbn, lost '.k?
Gen. Bulleuha suffered a sig
nal defeat in his first action
against the Boers. He attempted
to force a passage of Tugela
river and failed.
There are two, fords. In at
tempting to cross one fce didnot
know the force lying in wait for
him. The artillery advanced too
close and was met with a fire so
galling that nearly all the horses
were killed and ten of- the :guns
had to be left when a retreat was
ordered to save a useless sacri
fice of life.
The British casualties were 82
killed, 667 wounded an& 348 miss
ing, aggregating 1,097 put out of
action.
Gen. Buller withdrew to the
-camp which he had left with the
ten cannon covered by the Boer
range and one gun destroyed by
a Boer shot. , V -
It is the worst defeat the Eng
lish have suffered in this war and
is deeply depressing to the Brit
ish people, . but the cry' , is. to
prosecute the war with renewed
energy.
