London (By Cable). — A dispatch from’ Lord Kitchener, dated from Pre- toria, says: ’ A blockhouse near Brandfort, Or- ange River Colony, was rushed and captured by the Boers after fighting on the night of August 7. “Elliott has captured 70 prisoners and large quantities of stock and wagons, which he is sending in. No details have heen received.” A spirited narrative of the ejéctment of General de Wet from Cape Colony concludes with the statement that the raiders undoubtedly received a number of recruits from the colonial Dutch, an ample supply of food and timely infor- mation, LLord Kitchener received certain in- formation that De Wet intended to at- tack Cape Town while General Botha, as soon as he heard that the concentra- tion in Cape Colony was effected, was to enter Natal with 5000 picked horse- men and make for Durban. Mail dispatches from Lord Kitchen- er, issued in a parliamentary paper, say his constant endeavor has been to im- prove the fortifications along the lines of communication, thus releasing men from active service. The garrison off the railways have mostly been with- drawn. STEAMER SUNK BY THE OCEANIC. White Star Liner and an Irish Coasting Vessel Come Together.

Mr, Martin has secured five crop reporters in each ‘county and expects to have full and. complete (in- ‘ormation in a few weeks.

I'he potato crop is light, but the prices are very good, so that ‘thé farmer not complaining. Neither is the hay crop as big as last year, but prices are higher. Oats are” very light, the hot weather and warm showers causing a rust that has done considerable injury. Corn, which was planted late, is going to be a good crop, fully up to the aver age. Cattle bring good prices at the farm, and the price: of hogs has been very good for the breeder. There is not a farm product, according to Mr Martin's report, that. is not bringing a good price, and there are no complaints for the farmers, for, as a matter of fact, Mr. Martin “Pennsylvania has the best home market for her farm pro duct of any State in the Union.” Andrew J. Beckett, aged 68 years, walked into a store at Uniontown, ask ed to see a revolver and had a cartridge put in it. He then placed the weapon to his head and blew his brains out. Frang Bugdell, of Hazleton, was ar rested in Philadelphia by Detective De- angelg, charged with attempting to kill Nellie Decrease, his athanced, by shoot- ing her on July 4 after a quarrel. The girl kept the shooting secret, and it was only through a visit to her L-other that it became known. She refused at first to prosecute Bugdell. 18 Says, After several desperate attempts at suicide, Mrs. Joseph Slocum, of Ger- mania, is dead. Three monihs ago Mrs, Slocum saw her brother, Herman Bratz, taken to the insane asylum at Warren and her mind began giving way. A few days ago she took a large number of matches, soaked the heads in vinegar until they had dissolved. and then drank the concoction. This failed to have the desired effect; then she drank a half pint of washing fluid and quickly thereafter swallowed the con- tents of a bottle of ink. These liquids caused her death. Another man with jewelry found sewn on his breast has been found. He was Paul Shirvell, recently killed in the mines at Wilkesbarre.
