Rush of Peanuts.

PETERSBURG, VA, December T.
lcnaciaI1-Mr. X. ID. Wilkerson, u we'll
known and well-to-do citizen of Lunen-
burg county, was Knocked down by an
electric car on Sycamore street this
morning and quite painfully, though not
seriously, injured. Mr.. Wilkerson, VINO
&c quite feeble. was crossing the street
with a friend at the time, and stopped
10 look for the sign of the store to which
he wished TO go. owing to the noise OF
passing vehicles they did not hear the
signal of an approaching car In time TO
get out of its way. and he was struck
and knocked down. He received an ugly
cut to the bone over the eye some two
inches I'm length, which bled very freely,
and was somewhat bruised by the fan.
He was taken to the drugstore OF Mt. j.
T.. Banks. where his wound was dressed
by DR.. John Mann. The incident caused
a large crowd to gather, and II was at
first thought Mr.. Wilkerson's injuries
were much more serious than on exami-
nation they proved 10 be. The motorman
OF the car said he used every precaution,
by Stacking his speed and sounding his
bell. TO prevent the accident.
Another citizen was struck by a car
ON Halifax street this morning. but, for
tunately. was not much hurt.
There has been some complaint about
the rapid speed at which the cars are
run on some Of our streets, but II seems
that there Is no ordinance regulating this
speed.

Numerical Strength OF the Beers.

0OndOn MALI
There IS further evidence that the Beers
are in far greater strength i'm all direc-
tions than had been supposed. Before
the war we were assured that the utmost
1Orce which the Transvaal could put into
the field did not much exceed 2O,0O0, ana
that the Orange Free state was good,
at the outside. for 5000 more. That
made 5000. But there cannot be less
than 1000 around Ladysmith. Near
Colenso are 5000 10 5000; at komati
Poort, or moving south, 1909 TO 700; ana
perhaps elsewhere in the Transvaal an
other 1000 fighting men. On the Rhode
sian frontier bodies Of Beers not less
than 1000 strong I'm the aggregate have
been seen: around Mafeking there were
lately 1900 to 600, of whom some are
said TO be moving south. Kimberley Is
invested by at least 5000 men. and the
Orange Free State forces now invading
Cape Colony cannot be much short OF
600. Taking in every case the lower
figures given, we have a gross Boer totai
of ~ Ooo. and there are many Indications
that this is rather an underestimate thtn
an oyeTestimate.

enough TO carry through an offensive
