St. Louis, June 12.—General Piet Cronje, hero of tiany battles in the Boer war, is to be married here soon 20 Arrested in Cole. to Mrs. Johanna Stetzel of Johan-| The Trouble Took Place at a. nesburg, the widow of a comrade. The religious ceremony may be postponed until the persons mostcon- cerned return to South Africa, but the civil ceremony probably will be withia a month. November, partly asa result of her experiences in and after the war. When her husband wascaptured at Paardeburg and banished to St. Helena, she went with him to the island and remained there until his release.’ Her death was a@ severe blow to the old soldier and it was principally in order to get into new scenes in order to forget his loss that Piet Cronje consented to come to the World’s fair with the Boer war ex- hibit. General Cronje, who is a preacher as well as a fighter, spoke to the Boer women and children last Sunday. He directed his remarks especially to the woman he intends to marry. Ho visits her in her tent every morning and reads to herfrom the Bibie. Every afternoon he escorts her to the rehearsal of the war exhibition. General Cronje fought throughout the South African war. He held the British army in the western part of the theater of war in check until Lord Roberts took command. Cronje was a stubbora fighter too much 80, many military exprets be- lieve. Had he prepared to retreat as well as he prepared to fight, the sur- render at Paardeburg probably would not have taken place. About 6,000 Boers were captured with Cronje. It was the first great Boer disaster, Cronje also fought in the first Boer war. His surrender to the British was on the auniversary of Majuba hill where the British were beuten in the first war. After hiscap ture Cronj> was sent to St. Helena as @ prisioner and was released some- time alter the war ended. New Mining Camp Twelve Miles from Victor. Victor, Col., June 9.—Nearly 200 of tie soldiers and deputies under Ad- General Cronje’s wite died last! igtant General Sherman M. Bell fought for an hour this afternoon with sixty-five miners who were xe- creted behind rocks and trees in the hills surrounding the new mining camp of Dunuville, just across the line in Fremont county. Joho Car- ley, a member of Miners’ union No. 40, residing in Cripple Creck, was killed outright. That a muejority of the party un- der General Bell was not killed or wounded is a miracle. The party left its train and waiked through a narrow cavyon into the opea gulch, where the town of Dunnville ie locat- ed, and was subjected to a hail of bullets from the rocks high above. Probably 2,000 shots were fired and only the one man was killed, He was inthe timber and slain by a steel bullet from th Krag-Jorgensen rifle ofa manin the firing squad of Sergeant Baldwin, The dirt at the feet of the invaders and the, news: paper men who accompanied them was split up.as if a heavy hailstorm was in progress, but not a man was; touched, Twenty of the men in the hills were unarmed when they surrendered. Some of them had ammunition on their persons and some confessed when rounded up, below, that they had hidden their arms. Such men were marched back to the hiils and ‘i their weapons found. Five revolvers, two double-barreled shotguns, a sin gle-burreled shotgun and two rifles were taken by General Bell’s men. The first fighting lasted for seven minutes by the watch, and then the firing was desultory for an hour. Carley was killed about 800 yards from the men who were firing at him Knox to Get “Quay’s Mantle. oh no weapons were found on his Philadelphia, June 11.—Attorney noe General Knox joined Henry ©. Frick here to-day and consulted the leaders regarding the proposition to make! him Mr. Quay’s successor in the} United States senate. This afternoon Mr. Krox and Mr. Frick went to Washington. It is understood they go to consult Pres- ident Roosevelt as to the advisability of Mr. Knox resigning the attorney generalship to become senator. Should the President advise such a course the belief prevails here that Mr. Knox willretain his cabinet port- folio and that another Pittsburg man, probably Francis L Robbins, will be the choice of the leaders. Former attorney general Wm. Flinn and Leader Bigelow of Pitts- burg were told of the agreement which had been reached by the Re- publican leaders, and all appeared to be satisfied. Elkins and Bigelow were told that Governor Pennypack- er was willing to appomt any man who was selected by the Republican leaders. Senator Penrose stated that no definite announcement would be made for a day or so. Troubles of Wealth. Paterson Pete—I dreamt last night dat I had million dollars. Stacked Oate—Did yer enjoy it?

He even thought to turn to a newspaper man who was standing a few feet away and shouted, “Cover up that white vest and take off that panama.” These were elegant targets for the men in the hills. Gen.
