Frenoh, with two brigades of cavalry,
moved northwest of Belfast,
driving the enemy to Lekenvly,
on the Belfast-Lydenbutg road. As
soon as Frenoh reached Lekenvly Pole-
Gerew. advanced from Belfast in sup
port. . The enemy, in considerable
strength, opposed Buffer's and Pole-
Carew’s advance. He brought three
long toms and many o her guns and
pompons (quick-firing guns) into action.
The firing, until dark, was hot and per-
sistent. Buffer hopes his casualties will
not exceed forty. Pole-Carew has not
yet reported. The Boers are making a
determined stand. They have a large
number of guns, the country is difficult
and well suited for their tactics and is
less favorable to onvalry than any we
have hitherto worked over.
Our casualties yesterday (Sunday)
wore wonderfully few considering the
heavy firing and the number of hoars
we were engaged. Buffer estimates his
loss at two killed and twenty-fonr
wounded. His troops had to bivonao
where they stopped after darkness fell,
and accurate returns are os yet impossi
ble.
The casualties ot the force operating
north of Belfast were three killed and

"An Evcnlog With China” al Iht Library Last
Night.
From Wednesday’s Daily Herald.
The entertainment at the library room,
“An Evening With China,” last night
was a most pleasant and instrnqtlve
one. There was a fairly large orowd
present, and all seemed to enjoy the en
tertainment thoroughly.
Mr. A. W. Mnse was the first to give
a talk, apd he Bpoke most interesingly
on the "Walled Cities of China.” Mr.
Mnse was followed by Mr. Weloh,
whose talk on the “Topography of
China” was most entertaining.
Rev. W. F. Smith then spoke on the
"Religion of China,” and said much
that was interesting and instructive.
At the conclusion of these three short
addresses, Mr. J. S. Davis presided over
the question box and answered many
questions on the language, products,
history, etc., of China, making a very
pleasant close for the entertainment.
Mr. D. W. Shaffer presided and intro
duced the speakers in his nsnal graceful
manner.
In all, the entertainment last night
was all that was expected of it, a most
entertaining lesson in the study of
China, that great empire of the east in
which all interest now centers as the
country which is to influence so largely
the history of the world.
From Thursday’s Daily Herald. -'
The regular B, & W. train whioh
reaohed the oity this mornlug at 4
o'clock from Brnnswiok in obargo of
Oonduotor Harrison brought the dead
body of Rtohaid Croons, colored, who,
when he left Brnnswiok yesterday af
ternoon, was the train’s porter.
Croons met his death on board the
tra'n while lt was between Tifton and
Brookfield, and the ballets which
oaussd him to "shuffle off this mortal
ooff" were pumped into his body by Bag
gage Mastor J. O. Goldwlre.
The story of the killing, as learned by
the HirAld this morning, Is as follows:
On the trip from Albany to Brunswick
Tuesday night, Baggage Master Gold-
wire and-the porter had some misun
derstanding, and heated words passed
between them. Goldwire was on top
of the trhin, whioh hod been broken In
two sections. As the engine waa ooming
baok with the forward section for the
purpose ot oonpling op, Croons' Waved
to the engineer the neoessary signals.
Goldwire saw that the engine wu
ooming baok too rapidly and would
probably knook him off the train when
it itraoV. He therefore oalled to Oroona
to signal tor tower speed, bat the negro,
it to affegad, replied with an oath that
"ho didn’t give a d whether ho
(Goldwiro) wee knqokod -off or not.”
Farther trouble at the Ume woe averted
by friends of the baggage muter.
Lut night on the upward trip the
trouble was renewed. Oroona was in
solent and apparently anxious for a dif
ficulty, and the statement is maae that
be wu warned by Goldwire to restrain
himself. s When the tram waa between
Tifton and Brookfle’i, Croons WU di
rected by Goldwire to move a package
of fish from one portion of the baggage
oar to another. The negro refused to
do u ordered and attempted to renew
the difficulty. Oonduotor Harrison,
who wu present, stepped between the
two men, but Croons pushed him ulde
and reaohed toward his hip pooket.
Immediately the alert baggage mu
ter drew hla revolver and opened fire
on the negro. Five shots were fired In
qniok succession, and all took effect, one
in the abdomen, one in the head and
the remaining three In the back and,
side. Oroons staggered oat ot the oar
Into the adjoining ooaoh, where he sank
on a seat and expired in a few minntes.
Baggage Master Goldwire oamo on to
Albany, discharging hla duties as usual.
He was not placed under arrest, and is
still at large. The body of Oroons was
also brought on to this point, being pat
off at the union depot on the arrival of
the train. In the dead man’s hip pooket
was found a loaded revolver. The muz
zle of the weapon wu pointed npward,
and when Oroona attempted to draw it
it had evidently oanght in the lining to
his pooket. This accounts for the delay
whioh enabled the baggage master to
fire five shots, even though Oroons wu
the first to reach for his weapon.
Mr. Goldwire has been running out of
Albany for several years past, and has
many friends in the oity. He is a quiet,
unobtrusive man of anything butaquar
rclsome disposition. There seems to be
no donbt that the killing was done in
self defence and, therefore, was entirely
justifiable.

CONGER’S CABLE
Pram Pekin In Several Daye—Conger Expects

Washington, Ang. 28.—The first di-
reot word from Geneml Chaffee sinoe
August 18th came last evening tn the
form of a oablegram dated today at
Takn, reputing the aotion of the Sixth-
oavolry with the enemy near Tien Tsin
on the 19th. Theoablefollows:
"Taku, Angnst 27.—Secretary of
State, Washington—No important
movements sinoe last dispatch. Military
is-trying to restore order. No repre
sentative of the Chinese government
enoonntered yet. Several ministers of
the tsnng 11 yamen reported in the oity
and are expected to appear soon. Gen-
erals decide not enter into imperial pal'
aoe, leaving lt praotically vacant. Two
thousand Germans arrived today.
CONGEH.”
This cable adds nothing to the Infor
mation previously reported by Admiral
Remey.
Although Gen. Ohaffee'a oable is dated
Takn, it Is assumed that it was forward
ed from Pekin over the field telegraph
line or by oourier, probably the latter.
The fast that the dispatoh was sent
from Taku yesterday proves that the
oable between Taku and Ohe Foo Is
working and that there is no longer any
interruption on the land lines from the
latter point to Shanghai.
