Copyright, 1899 by the Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Dec. 2.—The official list of the British killed and wounded at the battle of Modder River was announced to-day and totals up 438. . The revised list of Modder River casual- ties, non-commissioned officers and men, is divided as follows: Ninth’ Lancers—One wounded; Engineers, 2 wounded; artillery, 3 killed, 2% wounded; Second Coldstreams, 10 killed, 4 wounded; Third Grenadiers, 9 killed, 38 wounded, 4 missing; Scots Guards, 10 kilied, 37 wounded, 1 missing; Northumberland Fusiliers, 11 killed, 31 wounded; First Northumberlands, 3 wounded: Second Yorkshire, 9 killed, #4 wounded: First North Lancashire, 3 killed, 14 wounded: Argyll and Southerland High- landers, 15 killed, 9% wounded, 2 missing; First Coldstreams, 2 wounded; South Af- rican Reserve, 1 wounded; Medical Corps, 1 wounded. , The War Office has received the follow- ing from Gen. Forestier-Walker, dated at Cape Town yesterday: “Gen. Gatacre reports no change in the situation. “Gen. French has made a reconnoissance from Naauwpoort to Rosmead, The troops returned to-day. “Gen.

Forestier-Walker’s dispatch it is proved that all reports of Gen. Meth- eun’s advance after the battle of Modder River were premature, though, with the railroad working, he should not be long in constructing a temporary bridge. His enforced delay, doubtless, will be of con- siderable service in giving his hard pushed icolumn needful rest and in allowing the arrival of re-enforcements, of which he ‘must be sorely in need, after three such fights, placing hors de combat upwards ,of 1000 men out of less than 7000. | Gen.

Miss Vollrath left the parental home at 1523 South Tweifth street two weeks ago on account of the objection to her proposed marriage. She deciared that she was going to wed the man of her choice with or ‘with- out parenta] consent. Mrs. Vollrath did not know the date of the proposed mar- riage and was greatly surprised when she learned that Miss Olga had carried out her intention. She stated that her objection had been founded solely on her @islike for Mr. Paulson's profession, and, mother like, she volunteered forgiveness for her daugh- ter’s act and expressed the hope that the couple: would be happy. : After Miss Vollrath left home two wecks ago she spent several days with a friend of her family at 3963 Juniata street. From there she went to the home of one of the families connected with the Germania com- pany. Mrs. Vollrath did not know the ad- dress of this family. She said Olga toid her last Wednesday .that she was goin to marry Mr. Paulson. Mrs. Vollrath did not 88-8 her daughter was serious in the state- ment.

There were other reasons. “I believe there was some objection ‘to the marriage, but that has all passed now.’’ Mr. Paulson admitted that the marriage was romantic, that the courtship was brief, but he asked to be excused from discussing those things further.

Meanwhile the courts were asked to take a hand in the matter. William Behrer, taxpayer, in a bill filed to-day, asked the court to enjoin the sanitary trustees from entering into any agreement with the Cana] Commissioners to construct a connecting link between the two channels, alleging that the cost would be too great a burden to taxpagers of the sanitary district. i MARCUS A.

The latest news from Natal indicates that the bulk of the Ladysmith relief force has arrived at Frere, though there is consider- able conjecture as to the whereabouts of Gen. Clery, whose movements have not been chronicled recently. It is surmised in some quarters that he may reappear in a totally unexpected quarter, on the flank or rear of Gen. Joubert’s force, which is supposed to be concentrated at Grobelaars Kloof, north of the Tugela River. As Gen, Hi'dyard’s advance guard was in touch with the Boers as long ago as Tuesday 'jast, developments should not be long de- layed. Dundonald’s mounted force, Nov. 28, ac- companied by four guns, went In pursuit of a body of Boers return.ng to Colenso. /They followed the Boers to within two and ‘a half miies of Colenso, when the Boers | replied to the British shells with long range 'gurs. There were no casualites. It was afterward that Colenso bridge was b.own up. Another deachment of 300 British troops sail for South Arfica to-day. Owing to the phenomenal sale of the newspapers consequent upon the war, a pa- per famine is threatened. “ft is reported that the Amer.can supplies have failed tem- porarily. The similarity of the military situation on the Modder and Tugela River is remarkab;e. Each relief culumn is within ® mies of the beleagured garrison, and a river in each ‘case has formed the line of Boer defense. In each quarter the military operations are cuncealed from view by the rigorous cen- sorship. An eminent Englishman remarked yester- day, ““‘We may lack confidence in some of our Generris as tacticlans, but not in our soldiers as fighting men.

Munro, Fourth Cavalry, who commanded avance scouts on Carranglan train, consisting of fifty men, Fourth Cavalry, and three native scouts. Insurgent General Conon surrendered en- tire force, numbering 800 men, armed with Mausers and a number of officers. Seventy Spanish and two American peseenees se- cured and probably considerable insurgent property. : Later advices from Manila say that the capture by Lieut.. Munro and fifty men of /the Fourth Cavairy of the Filipino.General Conon, with officers and men, with rifles, several American and seventy Span- ish prisoners, at Bayonbong, Province of Nueva Vizcaya, was a successful biuff. Lieut. Munro tapped the rebel wire, tele- graphed to Conon that he was advancing with a large force and demanded his sur- render. After negotiations, Conon consent- ed to capitulate to a “superior force,’’ whereupon Lieut. Munro telegraphed that Cleveland says that it is | he would enter the town with a small guard and receive the garrison’s surrender. He captured the whole Filipino force and se- cured their arms, the rebels supposing Munro had an army behind him. Considerable interest is felt here in the ‘news that the insurgents at Bayonbong have surrendered, particularly as the num- ber is said to exceed that captured by the | United States troops at any one time. Bayonbong is the city to which Aguinaldo at one time contemplated retreating for the Eorpees of oe ty the rebel capital, after e was forced to flee from Tarlac, but the American troops pressed him so hard that he was unable to carry out his intention. .

Ordinance Passed Annexing Five Sub- urbs to St. Joseph, Mo. 8ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 2.—Five suburbs were taken into the city by an ordinance assed by the City Council last night. The added population te the elty is about 10,000 on account of Mr. Blair’s advanced age, carefully provided for such a contingency in order that the business of the firm shouid continue undisturbed by the death of any mem ber,”’ John I. Blair of Blairstown, N. J., was New Jersey's richest man, and had a re- markable career. He was born in Delaware, but the family early moved to Beaver Creek, N. J. Young Blair earned his first money snaring rabbits, selling 16 skins for $1. At 10 he clerked in a country store for his board and clothes, and the following year worked for $25. At 17 he went into business for himself, running a general store at Blairstewn. After that he built thousands of miles of railroad and founded dozens of cities and towns, among them being Scran- ton, Pa. He endowed colleges and built and ave away more than a hundred churches. e opened branch stores and did a large business buying produce for the New York market. As his fortune grew he became interested in the iron business. This in turn led him into the railroads. He was one of the organizers of what is now the Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. After attending the convention which nomi- nated Abraham Lincoln.in Chicago in 1860 he became interested in what is now the Chicago & Northwestern and pushed it through to Omaha. He got a grant of l,- 000,000 acres of land in Iowa for that work, and the road earned enormous frieghts by carrying material for the Union Pacific. This led to many other railroad enterprises. Mr. Blair always lived about as simply as when he ran a country store. Nearly all business circles will miss John I. Blair of New Jersey. He was one of the men whose very whimsies give them a vogue with their fellows. He was born on a farm near the beginning of the present century and had seven brothers and three sisters. His parents were in some doubt how to bring be so many and start them in the world. John relieved their minds very promptly. “The others,”’ said he, ‘may go in for education, but I am going to get rich.”’ He sage by catching rabbits and musk- rats and selling their skins. Then he set up a country store. There were few such concerns in his part of the country, and as fast as he saved enough he set up a new store and put one .of his brothers in charge of it, till he had a chain stretch- ing from one good-sized market town to another. This caught all the trade of the farmers going to market and coming home and drained a large and prosperous strip of country. Then he oy fo buy up mill properties and got all the local profits from oe om. His surplus water power he used or cotton spinning. At this rate he was bound to grow rich, but he longed for a chance to show his genius with one big stroke. It came. A contractor, who was cutting section of the Morris and Essex Canal] through the neighborhood where he lived, employed a great many men. Blair was then giving the farmers’ wives cotton yarn for their butter and selling the butter in Paterson for a shilling a pound. Some of his work- ing people discovered that the canal dig- oy liked strong butter better than sweet. e said nothing, but slipped into Pater- son, cornered all the rancid butter in town at his own price, mixed it with enough of his own to make the supply go around, and sold it to the “—— at a better figure than they were willing to give the farm- ers for a sweet and wholesome quality. He cleared $4000 on that transaction alope. His next stroke was when a cotton packet sailed through a storm from New, Orleans and landed at Jersey City with her cargo apparently spoiled. Blair bought the whole cargo at the price set on the damaged bales found most of the remainder all right and pocketed $14,000 as profit. He gradual'y became banker, manufac- turer, builder and owner of railroads. He had for his business associates such men as Mosea Taylor, William E. Dodge, Mar- shall O. Roberts, Levi P. Morton, Oakes Ames and Robert C. Winthrop, yet he never gave up the simple life and habits of the country magreonnee, never used liquors or tobacco nor bought or sold a share of etock for speculative purposes. He was through most of his busy life a liberal giver to churches, schools and col- leges. e tried politics, too—just once. Somebody put it into his head to run for Governor of New Jersey against Theodore Randolph in 1868. The ‘boys’’ recogn'!zed their a opportunities, and that cam- paign cost him about 000 and brought im—nothing. Horace Gree'ey helped him stump. When asked how things were going, Uncle Horace piped out in his high voice the characteristic summary: Ce Blair’s check is good for a million, but his speeches ain’t worth a damn!’’ That was nearly 30 years ago. The day of the death of Mr. Blair, if any one held his check for $20,000,000, it would be cashed anywhere, CALLED THE BACK TAX DOCKET. Close of the October Term of the Cir- cuit Court at Clayton.

We asked him where he got it. He said he dragged it out of the water. It was the trunk if which the body had been carried to the bridge from which it was thrown into the river. “I have studied the pictures of Ida Zim- merman, which have been printed and the published descriptions, and all the other in- formation which has been given, and I have come to the conclusion that the body which we fognd was without a doubt that of Miss Zimmerman. “I am sure ‘the other members of the party wiil agree with m this conclusion.

Mrs. Tay- lor spoke thus before a gathering of 10 or 12 women in Armand’s fahsionable dress- making ¢stablishment.

Despite Emperor William’s idea that Wwoman’s sphere is the domestic one, he himeeif must have a finger in all the cul- inary arrangements about the palace. He visits the kitchen very frequently, and has always an affable word for the cooks, prais- ing them for the dishes in which they dis- tinguish themselves. For economical rea- s0ns he pays to the kitchen director a stipulated sum for every cover. In ordinary cases this is 7% marks ($1.62). In extraor- dinary cases, such as officia] banquets, the sum reaches 2, 30 or even 40 marks. he dinner menu is every morning presented to the Emperor, who often changes it. The breakfast usually consists of tea, coffee, eggs and cutlets; the luncheon of soup, boiled. meat, peas and sweets; the dinner of five or six dishes and all abundant. No t'me is lost at table, and a short hour is usually sufficient for the dinner. Every- thing about the table is of a national char- acter. Although the Emperor possesses 4 great quantity of Sevres china, yet he wishes that only the German majolica be used, and only German wines appear upon the tab-e. A TROUBLESOME LAW QUESTION. over a knotty question. ‘A farmer drove up in front of a store with a load of live turkeys for sale, and the storexeeper said he would take them, The farmer was un- loading the birds into the storekeeper’s coops when a big gobbler got away, flew across the street and crashed through a very costly window. The owner of the window naturally wanted pay for his loss (probably something like $100) and the question is who must stand the damage? The farmer claims he had sold the tur- keys. The storekeeper claims they did not become his property until they were safe- ly delivered. And there you are. COL. BRYAN’S BOOKS. Col. Bryan has made more than $60,000 , out of his books, and W. B.

The world that ts ‘“‘néxt’’ is the world that’s within And ‘“‘this world’ is the world outside, And the fires of hell are the evils that burn When for God and the neighbor man has no concern And the good and the true casts aside.

Married at 19 to a provincial solicitor from whose composition a soul had been omitted, and secluded from the world, she took to foolish dream!ng and fed her fancy on ideas she never was able to comprehend. Compromised by her own folly she is threatened with a divorce suit, which she is happily spared by the opportune death of her impossible hus- band. There is a glimpse of London lite- rary and art l'fe, or one of the sections of it. The artificial emotion of the hero- ine ig relieved by the steady good humor ' of her two friends.

THE MARKETS. |: MERCHANTS’ BXCHANGE, Dec. 2. Local trade did not allow itself to be dictated to: as Tegards the opening in the futures. It almost entirely ignored the low foreign opening during the early part of the session, and caused some good advances. There were some small slumps after the first ad- vances, but for some time the bulis held complete control of the market. The principal reason for the bullish feeling that during the early hours pervaded the market was the exceedingly small local reeipts, together with not any too large receipts in the Northwest grain centers, The Weathber—Unsettied, with possibly showers to-night. Saturday, probably fair and cooler. The barometer is highest over the North Pacific and lowest over the ke region. gent precipitation occurred over the Lake re- a Mississippi Valley, Atlantic Statcs ~ ‘portions of the Northwest. The temperature has risen in the dle Missis- sippi Valley and Central West, and s fallen gen- erally elsewhere.

Name might be Robbins or Black. Can you recall circumstances?” Mr. Thomas could not. He examined the records at the Courthouse, but could find nothing to throw light on the situation.

WASHINGTON HAS SAID SO. od Surveyor of the Port of St. Louis Need Only to Make the Usual Recom- mendations in the Case. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the Government author‘ties to shift responsibility for the present condition of the Federal Building. In an interview published in the Post- Dispatch a few days ago, Mr: Charles H. Smith, custodian of the Government prop- erty in St. Louis, declared that the ques- tion of renovating the Federal Building rested with the authorities at Washington. He said his request for money sufficient to clean dnd light the building: properly, had been denied. . The Post-Dispatch forthwith telegraphed its Washintgon correspondent to ascertain why St. Louis, which pays more than $20,- 000,000 annually into the Treasury of the United States, was being ignored. Chief erk Swayze, who has charge of the fund for Federal Building improve- ments, replied that noth:ng could be done unless Mr. Smith submitted a recommen- dation. “We are ready,”’ Mr. Swayze said, ‘‘to oin the agli set in the endeavor to mprove the conditions of the building. Let me make a suggestion. Get the Surveyor of the Port, Charles H. Smith. to make the recommendation to us. If it is possi- ble to put in the lights asked for we will do it on Smith's recommendation. If we find we can’t do it, we will go to Con- gress and ask for the money. Of course, having so many buildings to take care of, we are obliged to rely on the reports of custodians. e are prepared to receive his recommendation.”’ Congressman “Oe when seen regarding the matter said: ‘‘The most important mat- ter is to get Smith’s recommendation that lights are needed put in at once. Then we can ascertain how much it will be necessary to ask Congress for.”’ In view of these facts the Post-Dispatch again asked Mr. th for a statement, He was inclined to be evasive d expressed the opinion that the Government had al- ready done a great deal for St. Louis. “Have you made a recommendation to Washington to have the Federal building eaned?”’ “Why, there is going to be a bill pre- sented .to Congress to cover all that.’’ “Is it true, as the Treasury Department claims, that you have not asked for money to clean and light the Federal ge “Not exactly; I sent estimates to ash- ington of what is needed here.”’ *‘When did you do so?’’ “I don't remember the exact date, but It was sometime ago. I will look up the papers.’’ Mr. Smith was then told that Congress- man Joy had not heard of recommendations. “Well, my estimates cover improvements for the interior of the building.’ United States Commissioner Gray said: “The Federal Building is not a credit to St. Louis or the Government, in its present ap- pearance. It certainly needs cleaning badly. and when cleaned it should be kept clean.”’ Dr. R. J. Hyatt, Weather Obeserver for St. Loults, said: “On a cloudy day I am lost in the Federal Building. The entrance to this office is about as gloomy as could be imagined. There are only one or two electric lights on this floor. The dome of the building is filthy, and a person going up there would not come down without being covered with dirt.’’ These are the sentiments voiced by every employe of the Federal Building, and they are over 600 in number. Hundreds of thou- sands of p le who live in St. Louis and vicinity have.reiterated the same thing. It appears to be for Mr. Charles H. Smith to ay whether their demands shall be granted. Mexican Central Changes. Some important changes by the Mexican Central Railroad are announced to go into effect on Jan. 1 next. G. Mueller, who has been stationed in St. Louis as commer- cia] agent, with offices in the Houser Build- ing, will go to Mexico City to occupy the same positien. Snyder, at present southern ent with offices in Cincinnatf, will take ‘Mr. Mueller’s place in St. Louis, and F. Andrade, who has been com- mercial agent with headquarters in Mexico City, will go to Gan Francisco to hold a similar place. ; Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is an unexcelled medicine fer children while teething. Building Permits. The report of the Building Commissioner for November shows that 110 permits were issued for the erection of brick build:ngs, to cost, in the aggregate, $418,486; 107 per- mits for the erection of frame buildings, to cost $22,035, and permits for additions and alterations, to cost $22,066; total, $477,747. During the .corresponding month of the previous year 118 rmits were issued for the erection of brick bulldings, to cost $67,- 607; forty-three permits for the erection of frame buildings, to cost $12,175, and permits Sor St Btoes and alterations, to cost $7315; ota A : L— . = * e “@RIG MEDICA 4 Nes , : er " ph = GUATEMALAN PLANTER ALFRED BARNEKOW A PATIENT AT THE CITY HOSPITAL. WAS ONCE A WEALTHY MAN. Well Known in Central America and Mexico and Wants to Return to His Home in Germany. Alfred Barnekow, who is a patient in the observation ward at the City Hospital, is an enigma to the hospital physicians, He is a man of education and refinement and until a few mouths ago he was wealthy. Since he was admitted to the institution he has given no indication that he is deranged, ‘though the police report says he was ar- rested while acting queerly at the corner of Seventeenth and Pine streets. Until recently he was a guest at the Ter- minal Hotel. He arrived there two weeks \ago and since his arrival the German Con- sul has taken a deep interest in him. On the recommendation of the Consul he was taken to the City Hospital on Nov. 24 to be treated for dyspepsia. A few days later he was discharged as cured. ; Barnekow said to the Post-Dispatch Sat- urday morning that he had no relatives in St. Louis, but was well known in Central America and Mexico. According to hig statement, he wag until recently a wealthy sugar plan in Guate- mala, but was forced to leave there during the revolution. His eregersy was confiscated and he fled to save his life. With the small sum of money he managed to retain he went to Mexico. Hie lived a time in Guadalajara, and later tn the City of Mexico. Barnekow is unable to make a coherent? statement relative to his troubles, but he is perfectly rational, except when he be- comes excited in recounting his story. He desires to return to Germany, where, he says, he has influential relatives. Take “Big Four Route” to Cincinnati. SOME BIG SUBSCRIPTIONS. Week Ended With $75,000 Additional - to World’s Fair Fund. A subscription of $50,000 to the World's Fair fund was announced at a meeting of the Finance Committee Friday afternoon. The name of the donor of this substantial amount was not given, for the reason that certain minor details remajn to be attend- ed to before the subscription will become legally binding. he subscription was announced by the transportation committee and it is inferred it comes from one of the railroad com- panies. With this subscription as an ex- ample it is expected the other roads that have been ho!d.ng back will send in their names at once.

Halleck was placed in command of the Union army he discon- tinued this branch of the service and the marine corps was dismissed. The members were not given discharge papers, owing to the feeling between Gen. Halleck and Gen. Fremont, the former not recognizing any work of his predecessor.
