Another of the GambrelI SIurderers Pays.
Penalty of Crime.
A dispatch from Carthage, Miss,
says: For the fendish murder Of the
members of the Gambrell family at
st. Annes, in this (Leake) county, two
men have paid the death penalty-one
by burning at the stake, the other by
hanging. Two negroes are under
arrest beyond the confines of this
county, and posse is said to be in
pursuit of two white men. This last
statement, however, is contradicted
from another point and developments
must be awaited.
Saturday John Oliver Gray, ne
gro, was captured after being chased
for miles in the swamps. He finally
confessed that he was one of the party
that did such murderous work and the
posse made short work of him. He
was hanged and his swaying body was
riddled with bullets. Gray in his con-
fession implicated two white men.

two colonies, three captains and FIVE
lieutenants were killed, and colonel.
three majors, six captains and ten lieu
tenants were wounded.
This heavy loss among the officers
was due, as the latest dispatches from
the front show, to their valiant but in
sensate conduct in sticking to the ira
ditions of the British army and refus-
ing to use the cover of which the men
ayailed themselves in storming the
Boer position on the summit Of the
Kopie.
Among the rank and file the Hus-
sars had seven wounded; the artillery
one killed aud three wounded; the
Leicestershire regiment, one wounded
the Kings rifles, eleven killed and
sixty-eight wounded; the Irish Fusi-
leers, fourteen killed and thirty

OFF.
Dewoy's Southern Trip Is Sud-
denly Cancelled.
NERVOUS PROSTRATlOs THE CAUSE.
Admirnrs Physicians Forbid Acceptance
of Invitations Of Various
Cities.

A Washington special says. acting
on the advice Of his physicians, Admiral
Dewey finds that it will be necessary
to cancel the engagements he has
entered into to visit certain cities and
to decline all invitations for the pres
ent. He finds that the mental strain
incident to such visits is seriously af-
fecting his health"
This is the substance of an author
lied statement given to the press by
Lieutenant Caldwell, private secretary
to the admiral. Lieutenant Caldwell
added that the admiral has been in a
nervous state for several DAYS past.
and his friends were very anxious
about him. Under the circumstances.
his engagements to go to Atlanta, Chi
cago, Philadelphia and other cities are
all declared off.
Early Saturday morning Admiral
Dewey authorized telegram to this
effect to be sent to Atlanta, at the
same time expressing his sincere fe-
greet that his physical condition forces
him to be absent from the Brumby
celebration. The dispatch also con
tanned the assurance that Lieutenant
Brumby would proceed to Atlanta
alone, according to the original pro-
gTamme.
An effort was made to induce Rear
Admiral Schley to take the place of
Dewey in the coming festivities at At
lanta, but the hero of Santiago was
obliged to decline, as he is now sub
ject to orders from the secretary Of
the navy.
Mr.. Brown, general agent of the
Southern railway, was also notified of
the admiral's change of plans, and the
result was lively telegraphing between
Washington and Atlanta during the
remainder of the day.
1t would be difficult to express in
cold type the full extent of the disap-
pointment felt in Atlanta when it was
announced that Dewey had cancelled
his engagement to visit that city.
