Kissed His Baby and Killed Himself.
CIIAUI.KSTON, S. C., October 25.-Wil
liam Riloy, a respectable whito man of |
40 years, with a family of several chil
dren, committed suicido at his homo, 101
Wentworth stroot, Friday morning.
Riloy carno to his homo at il:U0 this]
morning and scorned in a perfectly nor
mal condition, grcoting his family with
unusual warmth, showing an especial do
groo of affection for his littlo baby child.
After fondling tho child and playing with
it, ho loft tho rest of his family and went |
itp to his room.
Somo timo later ono of tho larger boys
of tho family started up stairs, taking
tho baby lo his fathor's room, whore it
usually takes a midday nap. During the
timo thoir attention had not been at
tracted by any unusual sounds and tho
boy. unconscious of a tragedy, opened
his fathor's room.
Tho sight that mot his oyes was the
lifoless body of his father sitting in a
chair and leaning against a table witli a
pistol in ono hand and a looking glass in
tho other. There was a bullet bolo
straight through the man's temple. The
reason for Riley's acts aro thought to be
simply a general despondency and des
pair over lack of work to support his
family.
On inspection tho following was found
written in chalk on tho head of Mr.
Riloy's bod: "I cannot get any work."
William Riley has lived in Charleston
8?MC0 his hirth and has boen om ployed in
sovoral positions, ono being at the Char
leston basket factory.
Bumed nt tho Stake.
ST. LOUIS, October 2 -A posse last
Friday night captured Joe Lodore, a
nogro, who confessed that ho and Rob
Anderson on tho preceding night went
to J. n. Gambrlll'a house at St. Ann's,
Miss., tied Gambrlll'a wife and four chil
dren together, piled a feather mattress
on them, poured oil on tho pilo, cremated
tho family and robbed them.
Lelloro was burned at the stake, An
derson was caught and partially burned,
but tho fire was extinguished before lui
was dead, becauso information which
may clear him was obtained.
Farly last evening Lelloro was captured
several miles from tho scene of the mur
der. He Brat denied all knowlodgo of
the crime, but finally confessed that he,
Rob Smith and Anderson .Smith, two
other nogroos, had done tho work.
Ho hoped for no mercy and told with
brutal frankness all details of the crime.
His cantors were Btupcflod at the revela
tion In tito yard where GambriH's resi
donco stood Lcflore was tied to the stake
and burned alivo. No one sent a merci
ful bullet into his body to kill him.
Anderson .Smith escaped from tho mob
whilo Lodore was being burned and has
not yet been recaptured. Rob Smith
was tied to another stake and the lire
started, though ho was dually released,
as there is a possibility of provint; his in
nocence.
Anderson Smith will probably be re
captured and if it is proved he and his
brother aro guilty no power can save
them from a similar fate.

A l-'IKI.D HAY I'AKADK.
Tho British infantry formed for an at
tack in oxtOtlded order behind tho brow
of a hill. Tho Devonsbircs were on tho
left with four companies of tho .Man
chesters and some of tho Cordons on tho
right. At C o'clock tho infantry ad
vanced through tho valley as steadily as
on field day. Half way down the slope
they met with a t?rrido infantry and ar
tillery lire. Tlio mon foll rapidly and
tho wounded were carried to tho rear.
But in spite of the Boer guns and sharp
shooters concealed behind rocks, tho in
creasing lire of tho advancing British in
fantry gradually gained tho upper hand
and tho Manchesters and Cordons, edg
ing toward the right, gained tho top of
thc ridge, ont Hanking tho enemy's left.

At (i o'clock the bugles sounded
"charge" and the British swept ahead.
Tho liners fought to the last, onlv at
tempting to escapo when furthor fight
ing was hopeless. In the meantime tho
Devonshire's, pressing steadily up tho
left, were strongly opposed at tho Boer
camp, and from the flanking bills, but
carried both at a charge, with wild
cheers ?ind bugle blasts.
By 7 o'clock tho British had gained
tho position and "cease Cu ing" was J
sounded. Three IA pounder Nordon
fcldts were captured with large quanti
ties of ammunition. The Hoer dead and
wounded among the rocks were then at
tended to. I

tho Hold, especially Col. Hamilton's

through tho door and past tho guard,
who bad tho muiriorer's breakfast in ids

THC GLENCOE FIGHT.
Tho War Botwoon tho British and Boors is
Progressing Nicoly.
Tlio result of tho battlo at Gloncoo
must go far toward convincing tho Boors
of tho utter hopelessness of thoir war
with England.
(Jloncoo is In uppor Natal, near Dun- j
doo, and at that point tho British hud
concentrated most of tho forces thoy had
in Natal. Thoy wore so inferior in num
bers to tho Boor troops, whioh sonio days
ago bogan thoir march into British terri
tory, that much apprehension for their
safety was Jolt at tho British war ofllco.
Tho Boors, confident of thoir ability to
indict a severo blow upon this division
of tho British army boforo reinforce
ments could reach it, pressed forward
and made their attack under most favor
able circumstances. Thoy occupied a
hill within easy rango of tho British
camp and massed upon it about twico as
many mon as woro in tho army winch
lay below them, an apparently easy mark.
Ever since tho fight at Majuba Hill tho
Boors have boon possessed with tho idea
that tiley are man to man moro than a
match for tho British and with twico aB
groat a forco as tho enemy thoy had no
doubt that a great victory would bo
theirs at Gloncoo.
Such would have boon tho result if tho
British bad nioroly stood their ground
and taken tho Boor Uro, But thoy
adopted a very di (forent sort of tactics.
As soon as tho Boers came within roaoh
thoy charged upon thom with desporato
valor. Thoir onset was so determined
and tho work of their artillery so sciou
tiflo ami effeotivo that tho Boors could
not resist tho assault. They fought
bravely, as thoy always do, but their
superiority in numbers was moro than
offset by tho skill and discipline of tho
British, and thoy were drivon from their
vantage ground with sovere loss of men
and guns.
Tlio British lost heavily also, but
gained a victory which could have been
achieved only by high class soldiery di
rected by bravo and efficient officers.
Tho record niado by tho British offioors
in this battle was truly remarkable. Wo
doubt if so largo a number of officers
in proportion to the number of men they
commanded were over before killed in
hattie when the lighting was, out of 200
dead and wounded oil tho British side,
no less than iii were officors. This list
includes three colonels and four majors.
Gen. Symon?, tho commander of tho
division, was wounded, it is behoved,
mortally.
Tho Royal Irish Kusilcors Inst fi oflicers
and ll men, the Dublin Kusilcors f> offi
cers and 15 men, the King's Kittes ll ofll
eors and 70 mon, and tho Eighteenth
Hussars 3 offioors and 7 men, Counting
tho numbor of killed alone tho dispro
portion noted is still more remarkable,
tho returns showing ll oflicers to havo
boen shot dead, against 20 of the rank
and filo.
lt will bo soon that tho Irish troops
fought heroically. They lost, one-third
of tho offioors ami nearly one-half of tho
mon who wore killed and woundod undor
tho British flag.
All tho British troops fought with
great courage, but their officors made a
record which proves that they throw
themsolvos into tho thickest of iii tight.
T o unoxpoctcd rush of a smallor loree
upon them in thoir vory strong position
had a demoralizing offoct upon tho
lloors and had much to do with thoir
utter rout, it would appear that tho
British troops in South Africa,- despito
their great numerical inferiority to tho
Boors aro aldo to takocareof themsolvos.
