Meridian, Miss. The people of Me
ridian were very much shocked Friday
at the announcement of the death of
Miss Jessie Hutchinson, of Crystal
Springs, Miss, young lady II years
of age, who was attending the East
Mississippi Female college. The young
lady was Of naturally delicate consti-
tuition, but was able to prosecute her
studies until last Monday when, be-
cause of the intense suffering Incl
dent to recent vaccination, she had
to remain in her room. DR.. Blanks,
the college physician, called to see her
Thursday evening, and at that time,
while she was suffering very much
with her arm, and while her tempera-
ture was very high, there was nothing
to Indicate that fatal results would ell
sue so soon. Al about o'clock Fri
day morning, the nurse who was
sleeping in Miss Hutchinsons room
got up and gave her a drink Of
water, and when she awoke again,
after 5 O'Clock, the young lady was
dead.
The parents of Miss Hutchinson,
who live at Crystal Springs, were noti-
fed of her death and the remains have
been prepared for shipment to that
place

Helena, Ark. While transferring o
freight train the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley railroad lost a freight car and
its load and had several Others damag-
ed. A coupling pin broke as the
train started down the incline, three
cars descending with considera BILE
velocity. They dashed over the cradle
and onto the transfer boat Joy, the
first car carrying away the bulkheld
at the rear of the boat, topping into
10 feet of water. The trucks of the
second car were torn off, but it was not
otherwise damaged. The sole brake
man jumped into the river just as the
runaway cars reached the boat and es-
capped injury. The loss is not great,
as the lost car was loaded with the
household goods of some negro cotton
hands.

year old daughter of DIR. Edward
Randall, was run over by an eastbound
Broadway car at the corner of Eigh-
teenth and Broadway. Both legs and
one arm were terribly crushed. She
was gathering flowers on the esplsnade

gong and the little girl started to run
out OF the way. Suddenly she turned
and ran directly in front of the car.

London, March 31.-The head of the
army Of Lord Roberts is now twenty
one miles north of Bloemfontein. 1t
occupies clu uster of hills which the
Beers left after stiff fight in which
the British lost seven officers and one
hundred men.
"The Beers had been using these
kopjes as base for maraudlng bands
that have been beating up the country
adjacent to Bloemfontein for supplies,
driving off cattle and forcing non-re-
sistent Free Staters into their ranks
again The enemy must have besn in
considerable force as Lord Roberts sent
5000 infantry and 5000 cavalry
against them.
Lord Roberts progress to Pret ria
will probably consist of a series of such
forward movements in which Boer po-
sitions Will be attacked by a portion
of the army advancing rapidly with
wheel transport, the main army com
ing up as the railway is repaired
Lord Roberts is stripping the forces
in the minor spheres Of operations Of
their wagons and transport animals in
order to hasten the advance.
This is understood to be the reason
why he recalled Lord Mathuen from
Barkley West to Kimberly. Lord
Roberts mad to have Methuen's trans
port.
The reason why hot chase was not
made after Commandant Oliver is that
Lord Roberts did not wish to wear out
the cavalry transport.
Gen. French lost 8, 900 horses in the
relief of Kimberly and the pursuit of
Gen Cronje. Lord Roberts lost 8, 900
transport cattle at Watervaall drift
and it Is estimated that he has lost 4, :
600 other animals since the forward
movement began on FEBRUARY IS.
The advance beyond Blosmfontein is
through bare country and the supply
officers foresee an increasing difficulty
in providing for great army moving
along single line of railway, even
when the latter is working smoothly
and with ample rolling stock.
A dispatch from Ladysmith says
much interest is being manifested there
in the case of exCoDsul Maorum
against the British government.
The Canadian mounted rifles were
part of the force that occupied Hen
hardt yesterday. The rebellion through
out the northwest districts of Cape
Colony is almost suppressed.
The Goth will sail today with 600
men for st Helena, to guard Gen.
Cronje and 1000 prisoners.
President Kruger's latest proclama-
tion warns the women and children to
leave Bloemfontein within FIVE days as
he intends to bonn bard AMI destroy the
city and to shoot the burghers whom
he captures there.
Vigorous measures have been taken
by the British to harass marauding
bands Of Transvsal Beers. The latter
are ,resorting to guerrilla methods,
chiefly against Free Ststers who refuse
to JOIN Kruger
