BLACK DIAMOND RAILROAD. English ( npltallats to Throw Down Promoter and Pathfinder Boone. The Ohio, Tennessee & Carolina railroad has been organized to supplant the scheme of Col. Albert E. Boone to build the Black Diamond railroad from Columbus, Ohio, to Port Royal, South Carolina, says the Indianapolis News. A failure to make a satisfactory deal for the franchises of the Black Diamond railroad in Tennessee led Gen. William W. Kirby, acting agent for English capital, to organize this new company. Kirby has secured an option on the franchises of the Black Diamond road in the Carolinas and Kentucky. The route of the proposed road was inspected by Sir Thomas Tancred of England about one year ago and highly recommended for English investment. Gea. Kirby claims to have at his back enough money to build the road. Col. Boone, the pioneer of the movement, is bitterly opposed to Gen. Kirby, ignoring the franchises of the Black Diamond in Tennessee. All persons indebted to Moses Frank or M. Frank & Son, note or account, must without fail pay up before January 1,1900. 33.2 C. G. Ward will sell from December 18th to December 23rd. good mixed candy at five cents per pound cash.

THE TRANSVAAL WAR. Th*BrJU»h»«(fcr «mt Defeat During the Duet Week. The London war office is silent concerning the situation and movements of the British troops in South Africa. The report that General Buller has effected a passage of the Tugela river is neither contradicted nor affirmed. The last dispatch from a correspondent in Natal is dated at Chieveley Gamp, Saturday, the day after the battle of the Tugela, in which the British were defeated. This message says that Saturday was spent in burying the dead and shipping the wounded. Firing could be heard in the direction of Ladysmith. The naval guns threw shells from Chieveley Camp at a few intrusive Boers. Descriptions of Friday’s battle show that it was cleverly conducted by the Boers, who steadfastly refused to disclose their battery positions, though heavily bombarded, until the British were in measured range. Their fire, when once begun, however, became fearfully effective. The British were unable to withstand it. The war office makes public nothing concerning the position of General Methuen’s army at Modder river. It is figured in London, however, that the Boers by flanking him can force him to retreat. General Warren’s division is known to have reached Cape Town, but whether it will be sent to help out Buller or dispatched to Modder river is not known. One announcement is that it is going to De Aar. which would indicate that it will re-enforce Methuen. Great Britain is raising itt.000 mounted infantry.
