THREE STATES AFFECTED.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. H.-Advices re-
ceived tonight from the storm-swept sec
tons OF Mississippi, Arkansas and Tonnes
see indicate that the loss of life and dam
age to property is far greater than at first
reported. The difficulties in the way OF
securing Information from the devastated
sections are almost insurmountable The
places affected are remote and isolated,
and at best they are not well equipped
with means of communication, and the
storm which last evening carried devasta-
ton across the country at the same time
swept away the wires. so that telephone
and telegraph wire alike were put out of
service Dependence has necessarily been
placed in railroad men and travellers COM
ing from the affected parts. In MISSISSIPPI
pi the greatest loss of life and damage
to property occurred near Tunica, Lula
and fernando. A report by carrier from a
point thirteen miles from Tunica says that
the tornado's devastation was so great
that 1t will take weeks to calculate and
repair 1t. Five negroes lost their lives
on the Hamlin place. In Tunica the school
house. church and number of buildings
were totally demolished. More than fifty
negroes are missing, and 1t is feared that

Local Box Seized and Carried Away
Messenger Avery Lacerated About
the Head and Face.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 21.-News was received
here tonight of the holding up Of the Iron
Mountain cannon BALI passenger train,
north-bound. at Clifford. Ark. a few miles
this side Of Malvern Junction. The hold-up
occurred at 7:s0 o'clock. and was partici-
pated in by half dozen men. The bandits
had built large bonfire on the track, and
undoubtedly thought it would cause the
engineer to bring the train to a standstill.
He, however, seeming an attempted rob-
berry, opened the throttle and sought to
push through the fiery obstruction. Several
ties, OF which the fire was made. caught in
the pilot and soon brought the train to a
stop. Instantly three masked men ordered
the engineer and fireman to leave the en-
CINE at once. Another robber went to the
side of the car, hailed the conductor and
ordered him to remain inside. Each order
was obeyed.
While the four robbers were standing
guard and occasionally firing a shot to
brighten the passengers, their two accom-
plices entered the express car and ordered
Messenger Samuel r. Avery to "step aside
or get to the other corner" The large safe
was charged five times with dynamite,

hole was bored into the door of the safe
but an entrance could not be effected The
robbers finally announced that they had no
more dynamite. and then they gave up the
task of forcing open the door. Them pick
ing up the local express box and several
packages. they ran to their horses, which
had been hitched near by. and rode rapid
ly away. No attempt was made TO disturb
or modest the passengers, except for an oc-
casional shot at inquisitive passenger
who peered out of car window.
Messenger Avery was badly hurt on the
head and face by flying splinters hurled
about by the dynamite explosion. One side
OF his face was terribly lacerated and
several teeth were knocked out He was
sent TO his home in st. Louis on the same
train. The top and one side of the express
car were shattered to splinters.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-The Evening Stand
ard in a special edition this evening says:
Just as we are going to press the news
has reached London that Lord Roberts has
been thrown from his horse and received
severe injuries"
The officials of the War Office say they
are not in a position to report anything in
connection with the rumored accident to
Lord Roberts. This utterance is inter-
preted here as giving indirect support to
the Evening Standards statement.
It was learned tonight that Lord Rob-
erts's accident occurred on Sunday last
while he was riding. His horse fell with
him. and he was shaken and bruised, but
no limbs were broken. AS he has since
sent dispatches to the War Office 1T is be-
lieved he is performing his usual duties, es-
pecially as he has not mentioned the acci-
dent.
A dispatch to the Standard says: Lord
Robertss bodyguard removed him to Gov
eminent House, Johannesburg. He was
badly shaken and bruised, but it is ex-
pected he will be able to take the field
again in few days"
The Daily Telegraph learns that Lord
Roberts has telegraphed privately to the
secretary Of state for war, Mr.. William
St. John Broderick. that he felt no i'll eff
fects whatever
A long dispatch received from Lord
Roberts to-day refers to number of minor
occurrences. The only incident Of I'M
portance is the surprise of an outpost OF
the Bluffs" southwest of Balmoral, Nov.
19 Six of the ''Buffs'' were killed and five
were wounded An officer and thirty men
were made prisoners. The post has since
been reoccupied.
The reported death of General Schalk-
burger. acting president of the Transvaal
since Mr.. Kruger's departure from that
country. is discredited here. There is a
mere rumor that he died at johannesburg
Nov. 9. but the report lacks confirmation.
Lord Roberts's dispatch from johannes
burg this morning does not mention the
death Of General Schalkberger.
