London, Sept. 4.—A dispatch from
Johannesburg to Renter’s agency defl<
nitely announces that the reply of the
Transvaal republic to the British com
munication withdraws the franchise
proposals and agrees in principle to a
conference at Cape Town.
The reply of the Transvaal republic
to the demands of Great Britain in
creases the term of years of residence
necessary in-order to obtain the Iran
chises.
The correspondent of The Times at
Newcastle, Natal, confirms the belief of
its Johannesburg correspondent, Mr.
Moneypeuuy, that aggressive action is
imminent.
A special dispatch from Johannesburg
says it is understood that the charge
against Mr. Pukeman, editor of The
Transvaal Leader, who was arrested on
Saturday, will be reduced from sedition
to contravention of the press laws.
DELEGALS GET A CHANGE.
Alleged Murderers Will He Tried In
Killiiglutm County.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept 4.—"I am
opposed to trying cases that involve hu
man life, where the ebadow of the
conrthonse falls upon the military,”
was in substance the etatement made
by Judge Seabrook from the bench of
McIntosh superior conrt yesterday, as
he announced hie decision to grant a
change of venne in the cates against
John Delegal, Ed Delegal and Miraudy
Delegal, indicted lor the murder of
Deputy Sheriff Townsend.
Tbit staiemant created a stir in the
courtroom and great dieenseion on all
•idee. Judge Seabrook followed it with
the declaration that he did not question
the wiedom of Governor Candler in
•ending the military forcee to Darien at
the time he did to protect the place,
neither did he mean to criticise the
lodgment displayed by Governor Cand
or in calling out the military, but for
the reason given and for other reasons
he did not think necessary to mention
from the bench, he had decided to grant
the change of venne to the accused and
•et the case against them for trial in
Effingham county superior court on
Wednesday, Sept. 13.

Washington, Sep*;. 4.—There is good
authority for the statement that the
president has returned to Washington
with these general ideas uppermost in
his mind as to the future course in rela
tion to the new dependencies:
Civil government by three commis
sioners to supplant military rule imme
diately after the rebellion is crashed.
Continned military control until it is
determined by means of a general elec
tion whether the inhabitants want in
dependence or annexation. If inde
pendence, the new government elected
will be recognized by the United States
and will be given encouragement and
every opportnnity to establish its sta
bility. If annexation, the president will
be governed by the sentiment of Ameri
can citizens as it may then exist.
Civil government of the territorial
form, similar to that which prevails in
Arizona.
Territorial form of government as
recommended by the Hawaiian commis
sion and as provided for in a measure
now pending in congress.
Some weeks will elapse before the
president settles down to the actual
preparation of his message, bnt he has
returned from his vacation with some
well defined views as to the difficult
iroblems which confront him and will
mmediately commence discussions of
details with the members of bis cabinet

rrHghl 't rains Are Wrecked.
Collinsville, Ala., Sept. 4.—Two
freight trains, one a double header,
eame together near this place on the
Alabama Great Southern railroad, aud
both were wrecked. The three engines
were ditebed and lu cars demolished.
The traiumen saw collision was inevita
ble in tirno to jnmp and save their lives,
and no one was badly hurt
There is no argument so good as an ab
solute, plain, truthful statement of fact.
There is nothing so interesting as fact.

the inevitable nervousness ami irritability
that would surely lose for her tlie affec

that as her health declined discord and
misery would appear in her home. She
was filled with tlie loving motherly in
stinct, hut two miscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart. She ltad almost
lost hope when the clouds rolled away
and the light of health and happiness
returned.
She tells her story in these words:

HENRY DELEGAL ON
TRIAL FOR ASSAOLT
Much Trouble Experienced In
Getting a Jury.
LAST OF THE RIOT CASES
Special Term of Court at Dnrlen Will
End When the Present Hearing Is
Concluded, as All the Negroes Have
Been Sentenced,
Darien, Ga., Sept. 8.—The case of
the state aguinst Henry Delegal, charged
with assault, was called by Judge Sea
brook this morning. Considerable
trouble ia being found in securing an
impartial jury, only nine having been
•eenred by 12 o’clock ont of 4b.
The sheriff is summoning every avail
able man and It is thought the trial will
commence after dinner today and be
concluded today. This will end the
•peoial term of conrt, as the rioters have
all been tried and 22 of 85 convicted,
with one mistrial.
Somewhat heavy sentences hate
bean passed on 22 rioters, six being fined
$1,000 eaob or 12 months on the chain-
gang, and 16 being fined $260 each or
12 months in the gang. Two others are
ont on bond and were not present to
have sentences pasted. It is presumed
that they will not ahow up and it is
hardly probable that any of the con
victed ones will be able to pay their
fines
The two Delegal boys and Delegal
women charged with the mnrder of
Depnty Townsend will be tried In
Effingham county next Wednesday, a
change of venne having been grapied
