The soldiers were astonished to find green wheatfields everywhere, no troops having visited that region since December, fo that the Boerh had time to plough and sow.

They retreated to the mountains on the approach of the British, who captured one hundred women and children, enormous quantities of. grain and 1,300 head of cattle. Winburg is situated in about the center of the Orange River Colony. It is connected with the main railroad line, running through the colony by a short branch road. Senekal is about forty miles east and a little north of 'VVinburg.

MANAGEB GROVER'S SURPRISE. Entertained the Members of Last Week's Bill at Dinner on the Stage. Manager Grover surprised the Sisters Hawthorne and the other members of his last week's vaudeville company at Brighton last night, after the performance, with an impromptu feast set on the stage. As the clock pointed the first hcur of Monday morning Slater's Band played a march, and the guests assembled to discuss the good things provided. Everybody, released from the strain of work, let their gayety have full rein, and a pleasant time resulted.

Besldo the company, many friends and acquaintances were there, until the number present amounted to over sixty. Manager Grover was congratulated and his health was drunk, and, much to his confusion, he was called upon to make a speech. The Sisters Hawthorne. Zelma Rawlston, Miss Stanley and Miss Rial were the life of the affair. Dancing followed, after which special cars took them away.

Almost all of the artists had out of town engagements and had to hasten to make their trains. Start Made at 8 o'Clock Frow 5 8th St. and Fifth Av; Promises a Lively Contest. VANDERBSLT BACKS DOWN. "Ked Devil" and "White Ghost" Not Entered in the Race Four Women Make the Start.

The great automobile race between New York and Buffalo is on. Speeding along the smooth roads between here and Poughkeep sie. the limit of the first day's run, are. seventy eight machines of various descriptions. How many of the original starters will survive the' gruelling contest, which winds up in Buffalo next Saturday remains to be seen.

Promptly at 8 oclock this morning Starter W. II. Stearns gave the word for the firat machine to get under way. Instantly a 1,700 pound tcuring carriage of the steam propelled variety shot out of Fifty eighth street, turned up Fifth avenue toward Harlem and the race was on. At intervals of thirty seconds one machine after another dashed by the starter, slowly weeded its way through the double line of spectators and thua begun the 465 mile Journey.

The immense crowd about the starting point compelled the impatient chauffeurs to go slow until they had crossed Fifty ninth, street. Once above that point, however, a link was let out in speed and the long line of snorting, puffing machines whirled up Fifth avenue at a lively gait. Not a hitch marred the start. Long before the time for the race to begin the contestants had their machines at the starting point. As soon as each contestant received his number he was assigned to a place on either side of Fifty eighth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues.

There they waited for the word that sent them on their long', trip. Much credit is due to the officials of th club for the order maintained at the start and the promptness with which the race wa begun. With the aid of fifty policemen, tha officials kept the immense crowd that was present to see the start in good order. Almost every description of self propelled vehicle was in that long line of Contestants. There were the heavy, low snorting racing machines; big, lumbering looking touring cars; the screeching, puffing motor cyclea; light runabouts, resplendent in colors; thei tig.

ungainly looking delivery wagons anJ autocars. Many were the expressions or. disappointment when it. became known that neither of William K. Vanderbilt's famous machines would come to the start.

More than half of the spectators came to see either the famous "White Ghost." that has made Newport famous this season, or the terrible and speedy "Red Devil." It was announced that young Mr. Vandervilt would be a contestant, but no tice was sent early this morning of his withdrawal. The absence of Alexander Winton's great racing car and that, of Albert C. Bostwlck was also a disappointment for the crowd. Both of these men have sent their machine on to Buffalo, where they are.

being prepared for the grent one hundred mile international speed contest. John Jacob Astor sent his big machine to: the starting point in charge of a chaffeur. It was not until nearly 10 o'clock, however, that the owner put in an appearance pejTsoB7' ally at the start. He announced then that he would only go over the route as far as' Albany. "'As Mr.

whirled away from the starting point he. was loudly cheered. Shortly' after Mr. Astor left David Wolfe Bishop, who got into trouble with the authorities yesterday for speeding his big French Panhard car, appeared at the club house announced his intention of trying to catch the other contestants. The most notable event in the contest, perhaps, was that of A.

R. president of the Automobile Club of America, under whose nuspices the race is being held. Mr. Shattuck held the lever in his big Panhaid machine Four womon took n.irt in the great race. Two, Mrs.

H. K. Browning and Miss Simmons, were seated in H. K. Browning's big car.

Mrs. William H. Browning accompanied her husband in bis big pleasure carriage. The names of the other contestants could not be learned. One of the most important features of the run will be the hill climbing contest to take place on the famous Nelson Hill, just, outside.

ot Peeksktll this afternoon. For this three prizes have' been offered. (For Other Sporting News See Page 8.) TRAVIS GOLFS WELL cm. Amateur Champion Turns in a Card of 8 I for First i 8 Holes. FINDLAY S.

No Violence Reported, Only a Show of FoTce Butt Welders Vote to Go ft Back The Situation. Pittsburg, September 9 The strike situation to McKeesport reached an acute stage this morning and serious trouble was feared as a result of the efforts of the striking tube workers to prevent men from returning to work as they did Saturday.

The effort wa3 almost perfectly successful, and where last week from 800 to 1,000 men went back. Into the mill, not more than a dozen were able this morning to elude the multitude of pickets and get back into the mill. There was great excitement In McKeesport this morning as a result of this turning out of the strikers, more than at any time yet. Something over 2,000 strikers congregated about the great plant of the National Tube Company shortly after midnight and remained there until this morning, when the employes who went to work last week reported for duty at 7 o'clock this morning. Bvery approach to the mill was guarded moyt vigilantly and around the main entrance more than 600 strikers and sympathisers gathered.

The streets adjacent to the mills were crowded and as men aproached to go to work they were met and turned back. Almost all of the great force who returned last week reported for duty again and there were many more who were willing to go back, but these were met by the pickets as they advanced near the mill and forced to return home. Not ovor a dozen escaped the vigilance of tho pickets and succeeded in getting into the mill. About fifty policemen were on duty about the mill, but no arrests were made. As a result Of the disturbances this morning the big tube mill is idle and completely tied up.

Just what the National Tube Company will do pow is a matter of conjecture. It is believed by many that an attempt will be made to start the mill with imported men and that an appeal will be made to Sheriff McKinlcy for protection. At the meetings of lodges of the Federation of Labor in McKeesport yesterday, the question of returning to work in the tube mill was voted on. The butt welders voted to return, but were prevented from doins so this morning by the strikers who gathered about the mill. The nrnploves of the rolling mill of the National Tub2 Company voted to a man not to return.

At Demmier a crowd of fully S00 strikers (fathered about the plant, and while they were orderly, thev refused to obev tho nrflp.rs of the fifty deputy sheriffs on guard. Fewer workmen reported from McKeesport. than Ist week, though more men came by boat from puquesne. The air of mystery 3urroundina: the Amalgamated headquarters during last week's conference of the general executive board Mil! pervaded the rooms to day. The members of board were again on hand early, but all efforts to secure Information as to subjects under discussion or to get.

an expression from any of them, were futile: President Shaffer had "nothing to say" to all Interrogatories. The continued session of the AnnlMinit executive board Is regarded as a hope sign, it id now reit that the strikers wH! accept any honorable terms matie by Be steel people, and a visit of the Amalgamated officials to New York at any time to deal directly with President Schwab Is not. improbable. Tho situation at McKeesport is looked yon with apprehnsion. and an outbreak is inared at any moment.

Locally there is no change. All the mills started by the combine were running. The strikers are not Interfering with the workmen and everything Is quiet. The crucial test In the strike will come when the Rteel company starts in earnest to open its closed mills. This, it is said, will bo done in a few days and the combine ofllolals claim when the strikers realize how many of the old men are at work they will tumble over one another to get back to their old places.

As the morning advanced the excitement in McKeesport Increased and by noon the streets were crowded. A large crowd assembled around the railroad station and carefully watched all trains for imported men. Strikers in skiffs also patrolled the river. Excitement has not been so tense since the strike began and the possibility of trouble seems to be great. Milwaukee, September 9 Thirty five Amalgamated Association men returned to work at the plant of tho Illinois Steel Company In Bay View to day.

Others are expected by the officials of the steel company to return to a few days. It Is said two of the company's mills, the 12 inch and rail mill, were started this morning. There was no trouble whatever. Many of the radicals, or these who bolted, at tho meeting yesterday, acted as pickets to day and took the names of all those who went to work. The mochar ical department is said to be working with almost a full force.

J. D. Hicfeey and J. F. Cooper, the two men who went to Pittsburg ten days ago to interview President ShafTer.

were among those who returned to work. MOTION IN GLENN0N CASE. James W. Ridgway Asks Permission to Examine the Grand Jury Minutes. James W.

Ridgway, counsel for Edward O. Glennon, the Tenderloin wardman, indicted for falling to suppress the alleged disorderly houie at 146 West Fifty third street, made a motion in Part I of General Sessions Court this morning for permission to examine the minutes of the Grand Jury when the indictment against Glennon was found. He said that his duty to his client required that he should know what the evidence was upon which the indictment was found. There had been no preliminary examination in a police court and in the interests of justice he felt that the examination of the Grand Jury minutes was necessarv. Deputy Assistant District Attorney Garvan opposed the motion as made.

He explained that the DlBtrict Attorney's Office was willing to have Mr. Ridgway examine the minutes if he would agree not to follow the examination by a motion for the dismissal of the indictment. He said that the defendant'3 counsel had been supplied with every affidavit in the case which had been submitted to the Grand Jury. It was to be presumed (hat the Grand Jury had found the indictment on legal evidence. If the motion was to be used as the basis of a motion to dismiss it would be the means of obtaining a further delay, and for this reason the state's attorney must oppose It.

A great deal of time might be consumed by tho defendant's counsel, and it might be three or four months before the case came to trial, if these motions were allowed. The questions of law involved had already been passed on by Recorder Goff in the Herllhy case. Mr. Garvan said he didn't see how the motion could be made with any other end in view than to gain time. Mr.

Ridgway, In reply, said that he couldn't stipulate anything. If. after examining the minutes, he found that his client had been indicted on illegal or insufficient evidence, lie could do nothing else but mako a motion to dismiss. Papers in the motion are to be submitted to morrow morning and the Judge will then reserve decision. It is understood that If Mr.

Ridgway succeeds in securing the right to examine the minutes in this case he will make similar requests for his other clients. Sergeants Snlels and Wardman Dwyer. Police Lay at the Door of Isaac Feinstein Several Acts of Wanton Cruelty. HE IS NOW A PRISONER. Mystery of the Wholesale Killing of Horses in the Eastern District May Be Solved.

Detective Sergeants Becker and Bonner of the headquarters squad believe that they have solved the mystery of the wholesale poisoning of horses in the Eastern District, which occasioned so much indignation a month or more ago. There were a score of horses poisoned in various stables in the upper portion of the Sixteenth Ward and the police and the owners of the slaughtered animals were at a loss to account for the fatalities. In every instance the cause of death seemed to be the same. Some person was securing access to the stables in the night ani dosing the horses. In some instances the victim was found dead in his stall in the morning, and in others the poison did not work until he was taken out.

One man, an expressman, had four of his horses die in the street in one day. They had been in same stable over night and seemed well enough when they were taken out in tho morning. The deaths were for a time attributed to the extreme heat and the existence of the epidemic of influenza, which were affecting the horses of this neighborhood at the time; but veterinary surgeons who wore called upon for their opinion discovered evidences in every instance of poisoning. This morning Isaac Feinstein, aged 19 years, of Leonard street, near Slegel, a peddler by occupation, was locked up on tho specific charge that he had poisoned four horses on the morning of August 2 in the stable at the corner of Bushwick avenue and Siegel street. Feinstein is one of the three men who were discharged from custody by Magistrate Steers in the Fiatbush court on Friday last.

They were immediately rearrested by Detective Sergeants Becker and Bonner as vagrants, for the officers believed that they could connect them with a charge of wholesale horse stealing. They were taken from Fiatbush to the Adams street court and Magistrate Tighe held them temporarily for examination. The prisoners were Feinstein, Frank Hopkins, alias Morris Jacobson; and Jacob Gilbert. This morning the three were in the Adams street, court. Jacobson and Gilbert were released, on the ground that there was no caarge that could be made against them further, and that there was no evidence to prove ie complaint of vagrancy.

Oddly enough, iust after their discharge Justice Maddox, in the Supreme Court, issued a writ demanding the production of the prisoners before him on habeas corpus proceedings. When the two men heard what their lawyer had done they hurried to court to show that they had been freed and that the habeas corpus proceedings were unnecessary, so far as they were concerned. Feinstein was detained in court and it is likely that the habeas corpus proceedings will do him little for. there is. a specific oharge.of cruelty, against The complaint fOunde.d.

on the affidavit of Isaac Markin of Bl Morrell: street, who says that the accused dosed' four, horses belonging to: Max Puritz; the stable of David Max, on Bushwick a venue and Siegel street, on the morning 'of the 3d ultimo. He alleges that he saw the prisoner give'the horses something out of a phial, and the information is added triit the horses which were so dosed were taen out when the day's work began and sent to Pier 29, on the North River. While they were there the horses were taken sick and died. Sudden death came to a number of olher horses in the same stable, but the police have no definite information of their having been dosed. There were 100 horses In the place, which is a large livery and boarding establishment.

David Slutsky of 28 Siegel street claims that within a year fourteen of his horses were killed in a mysterious way. Benjamin Minzer of 82 Graham avenue alleges that four ol his horses met the same fate. The police have not as yet their case against Feinstein completely propared, but with the assistance of some of the people in the neighborhood, who are as much interested as the police are in the case, they expect to get an overwhelming mass of evidence. It is claimed that strychnine" was used to kill the horses in most of the cases ar.d the police have in their possession a drug which closely resembles strychnine, and which they claim may be used as evidence against the prisoner. Feinstein asserts that he is wholly innocent of the new charge that has been made against him.

When he wa3 arraigned before Magistrate Tighe in court this morning he pleaded not guilty with an emphasis that was marked and enthusiastic. He was held in default of bail tor hearing on Thursday next. HAD LOST HER POSITION, And Miss Smith Determined to Commit Suicide Active Citizen's Efforts Save Her Life. Bertha Smith, 19 years old. of 35 Cedar street, attempted to take her life in Prospect Park last night, as she admitted to a sergeant of police after she bad drunk irom a half ounce vial of carbolic acid, i ic lips were badly burned by the acid and her tongue shows the" effects of the terrible drug.

Confined in the Seney Hospital, under a police guard, Miss Smith is still alive and will probably recover. The loss of her position is said to have been the cause of her rash act. It was a little after 8 o'clock last night when Henry Tcgeder of 52 Fulton street, who was passing through that part of the park knows as the Palisades, and which Is located near Harbeck pond, Just beyond the rose garden, when he heard groans coming from the bushes at one side of the walk. Tegeder made an Investigation and found Miss Smith lying at full length on the ground and suffering terribly. Tegeder ran out and reported his find to Patrolman James Glnna of the Park precinct.

Then ho ran to the nearest telephone and sent in a call for an ambulance to Seney Hospital. Meanwhile Patrolman Glnner hastened to the woman, carried her to a bench and did all in his power to restore her to consciousness until the arrival of tho ambulance surgeon. Last night Miss Smith, who was dressed in a well fitting and stylishly made black dress and who has a decidedly attractive face, refused to tell her name or assign any cause for her rash act. She talked freely of her attempt to end her life, though, and when she was taken before the sergeant in the Park police station she said, it is claimed: "I drank the poison. I want to commit suicide." Miss Smith was identified in the Seney Hospital this morning by her sister, who said that the girl had been in a melancholy state ever since she lost her position as a typewriter a few days It is evident that she Intended to make way with herself, for she selected a place in.

the park which is hardly ever visited, even by i.V police, and which is hidden from the view nf passersby. MR. GTJILFOYLE BACK. Buildings Commissioner Joh. i Guilfnyle has returned from his vacation, a part whi.

There was a meeting of the Clearing House Committee this morning. The meeting was decided upon Saturday as a means of taking counsel and preparing for any emergency which may arise In financial circles to day.

The financial skies had cleared so; in the interim, that Frederick D. Tappen, chairman of the committee, when he arrived at the Clearing House, characterized the meeting as a "mere formality." Mr. Tappen arrived about 0:30 o'clock. He was accompanied by J. Edward Simmons, president of the Fourth National Bank.

Shortly afterward George F. Baker, president of the First National, arrived. Beside these there were present James Stillman, president of the City National Bank: William A. Nash, president of the Corn Exchange Bank, and J. T.

Woodward, president of the Hanover National. Mr. Simmons remained in the committee room for only a few minutes. Henry T. Cannon, president of the Chase National Bank, was expected, but did not arrive.

The meeting was not a long one. It was wholly informal. At its close Manager Sherer of the Clearing House said: "The members only met and talked over the situation. They will now drift back to their different banks but will be within easy reach If wanted. I see that money in the market is at 6 per cent.

That is not exorbitant and any one who has anything worth holding can afford to pay that. We will have all the money needed." Mr. Stillman, as he left the meeting, said: "The situation is as good as It could well be. There is every reason to believe that money will be easy." Chairman Tappen said: "We are still holding the fort and will continue to hold it. The situation is favorable.

The London market appears strong and its tone Is sympathetically reflected in the market here." STORE N0TES. Hecht Bros. Open Handsome New Store on Sixth Avenue, Manhattan.

Colouel Michael Bennett. Michael Bennett, whcee death took place at his home Sunday after an illness of two weeks, was possibly one of the best known residents of the Ninth end Second Wards. He had lived and was prominently interested in that section around Fifth and Atlantic and Fiatbush avenues for nearly fifty years. His death was due to failure, occasioned by the heat of Saturday night, though the illness from which he had been suffering was dysentery. His attending physicians were Drs.

McLean and Barber. Colonel Bennett was born in Kings County, Ireland, on July 28. 1S2C, and came to the neighborhood in which he died when about 30 years of age. His brother, William, was a farmer, who (Photo by Butler;) Colonel Michael Who Pied last Xight at the Age of 75. worked a farm in tbaj; section around the present Fldtbiish avenue railroad depot of the Long Island Railroad.

Near there was where the farmers used to. come to sell thoir hay, and young Bennett was contemporary with GeoTge Cochran and others in the establishment of a hay scales there in the early 50s. He afterward started a hotel on the corner of Fiatbush and Fifth avenues, which he continued for almost forty years. Although a popular boni face in his early days, he was a total abstainer and complied strictly with the spirit as well as the letter of the law. He organized the Seventy second Regiment of militia, composed of men of Irish birth, in this county, and was its first colonel.

In 1860 he united his command with some military companies and as the Twenty eighth Regiment of volunteers they responded to the first call for troops. While going to the armory just before Iheir departure he was thrown from his wagon, through the breaking of an axle, and his frontal bone was fractured. The doctors advised against his going to the front after the wound had healed, saying that cannonading might cause insanity. Ho went in spite of this and served with his regiment under General William T. Sherman.

A redoubt which was thrown up at Arlington Heights was named Fort Bennett. The regiment was mustered out after ninety days, but he marched at their hoad in 1SC3, doing duty at Gettysburg, where he fractured his leg. He gave up his hotel eight years ago and had since been in the real estate business with his son on Dean street. Colonel Bennett was unostentatious in manner, and did not enter actively into politics, except once when he helped to organize the Jefferson Democracy, about twenty year3 ago. His charities, though many and con slant, were unobtrusive, and since his death his home has been visited by many sincere mourners who have been his beneficiaries.

He had lived in the house where he died for over thirty years, and it. was in his house that tho meeting was held by the late Bishop Loughlin and others which organized the parish of St. Augustine, of which Colonel Bennett was one of the original members. He was the president of the conference of St. Augustine nf the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul, had been president of the Central Dispensary for several terms and was one of the trustees of the Board of Charities. Forty three years ago he married. Miss Eleanor Harper of this borough. She survives him with two sons and two daughters. His sister, Mrs.

Ann Walsh, survives him at the age of 80 years. The funeral services will be held at St. Augustine's Church to morrow morning at 9:30 o'clock. BIG FIRE IN CHINESE CITY. Many People Reported Killed in Fights Over the Loot Mutiny and Murder on Steamer.
