Last week ten of our troop went out as escort to our convoy three waggons, going across country to the ratlway station, for provisions. | was among the numbée and forjunately one of the lueky ones, On our way to the station the Boers came on us, and captured four of our fellows, six of us petting away with the waggons. Two of the four who were captured had their horses shot from under them. / were stripped of everything, one fellow having only a pair of socks and an old hat on when he reached {he next troop. The rest of us, with the waggons. reached the station all right. We loaded up and started back for samp next day. When wé had made about half the distance a report eame to us that there was a body of 200 Boers ahout five miles ahead, waiting for us. We camped where we were for the night, and you Let we kept a sharp pkout for Boers. Next day we started out, twenty-five men in ull, including the four of our men who had heen "previously captured.

But when I reached the wag gons just imagine my surprise to find no one there, except the niggers, and they were just beginning to scatter. The Boers were within 100 yards, coming at the full gallop and shoot ing all the time. It did not take me long to decide what to do.

Chicago Canndign-A merican In the Fifth ward, Chicago, the re publicans have nominated Robeit K. Sloan, an independent democrat, wh combines in his personality all the qualities that would ge to make an ideal alderman. Mr. Sloan, a member of the prosperous undertaking and livery firm of Sloan & Cornish, is a native of Kingston, Canada, and was for many vears a valued employee of the city railway company before en tering the firm of which he is now a member. When he ran as an indepen dent democratic candidate for alder man of the Sixth ward in 1809, he polled nearly 2,000 votes. Clean, hon est, vigorous and enterprising Mi Sloan is in every way worthy of the support of the voters of the Fiith ward without regard to party. A Kingston Lady In Luck. Mis. Charles A.

Mary Brownstein Out $200 on The Strength of a Promise to Mar- ry--Ran Away, But Was Trac- ed to Kingston by Detective Burrows. The Toronto World says that'a tele era to inspector Stark on Saturday aiternoon announced the arrest in Kingston of Abraham Adifi, alias Swartz, who is wanted there to ans wer a charge of stealing 8200 from Mary Brownstein during the month of January last. The parties in the cass are Robmanian Jews Miss Brown stein was living in 'the rear of the hotel at Adelaide and York streets, when she became acquainted with Ad wha, it is alleged, proposed mar rage. On the strength of the en gagement he induced the woman to hand over the money, after which he jeft the city. Miss Brownstein, who now lives on Elizabeth street, was pot satisfied with bis treatment of her, and communicated with the po tice. Detective Burrows traced Adifi to Kingston, where he was arrested on Saturday by police constable Aiken. Adiffi was found by the loeal police loaging at the home of a well-to-do Jew on upper Queen street, and was at once! placed under arrest and taken to the police station. Two rings were found on his person, which were iden tified as those stolen from the house in which he had been stopping. It is unlikely that a charge will be laid against him for this offence, as the rings were of little value and soon recovered. At noon to-day arrived in the city, afterwards returned to Adiff in his keeping. DIED AT TORONTO. detective Burrows and a few hours Toronto with Scott, Onee a Kingston Schr»! Teacher, Dead.
