message to the War Office:
"Jacobsdal Feb 16-(2 a. m.)-French

The road between Modder River and
Jacobsdal is now open. The distance is
only nine miles. The; road is available
for sending reinforcenMnts and supplies.
When the Beers evacuated Jacobsdal
they were obliged to pass over a ridge
where they afforded a splendid mark for
the british guns which showered
shrapnel upon the retreating enemy.
The convoy which was attacked at
Reit River had been count ermanded.

LAST HORROR AT DURHAM
HAD MORE THAN IT'S SHARE OF
DEATHS on THE
YOUNG MAN WAS STANDING ON TRACK
Did Not Hear the Approaching Train Until it
Was Upon Him He Was Horribly
Mangled by the Wheels
of The Train.

Durham, n c., Feb. 16.-(Special.) y
The east bound passenger train, which
is due in Durham daily at 800 a. M,
struck and killed a young white man in
East Durham this morning. The acci-
dent occurred opposite the lumber yard
of Young & ''tOne, between the coal
chute and the East Durham passenger
station. Ernest Young, a school teacher
from near Cary, was the victim.
1t seems that Young was standing on
the Southern track looking at an incom-
ing train on the SeabGard road, and
did not see the train that bore down
upon him until too late to get out of its
way. For some distance before the
train got to him the track is perfectly
straight for nearly half mile. and it
does Seem to Il casual observer that an
engineer could see a man on that stretch
Of track in time to stop. The noise Of
the SeabOard train 50 drOwIned the
noise of the Southern train, that Mr.
Young was not conscious OF his danger
a gentleman who was standing some
distance away says that the deceased
made an attempt as if to get off just
as the train was almost upon him. but
il was too late. No bell was heard
ringing. and it rs asserted that the
ID, al'fivG whistle was blown only two
or three times and then only at about
the time the man was struck.
The deceased's head was badly crush
ed, the right arm broken and there
We're ether injuries about the body. 1t
was a ghastly sight TO see him as he
lay upon the ground bathed In his own
blood, the place almost resembling a
slaughter pen.
The young man was on visit 10 h's
uncle, DR. w. d. Young. when the sud
den and untimcly accident came that
ended his life in such a tragic and hor-
rible manner Deceased was about 20
years OF age. and a young man most
highly esteemed by a large circle of
friends and acquaintanceS, all of whom
will be shocked TO learn of his death.
Coroner Maddry was notified and went
to the scene, but it was not necessary
to hold an inquest. as there was not
the least doubt of how the young man
came to his death.
The body was turned over to the
undertaking firm of Brown & Morris
who prepared it for burial 1t is proba
BILE that the remains will be carried tc
Wake county tomorrow for burial.
The relatives Of the deceased have the
heartfelt sympathies of all their friends
and acquaintances in the sudden blow
that has fallen upon them.

FRENCH FOLLOWING HIM
THE BOERS THREATEN ROB

THE BRITISH ARMY IS NOW JUBlLANT
General Clements Withdraws From Rensburg
During the Night and Takes up Position
at Arundel. All Still Quiet at
Ladysmith.

London, Feb. 17.-(4:43 a. m.)-Gen-
eral Cronje with start of a day or
two, is seemingly in full retreat from
Lord Roberts, moving northward. Cen
eral French, with the cavalry, simply
stayed over might in Kimberley and
then pushed on 10 get i'll touch with the
retiring enemy. A long Boer wagon
train is moving toward Bloemfontein,
followed presumably by large force of
British infantry. In their hasty de-
parture the Beers lost quantities of sup
plies and ammunition.
Military opinion here is that Lord
Roberts will not push far after the
Beers Immediately because of transport
problems and the need of the rest for
the troops. He has to feed seventy
thousand persons in his army and the
whole Kimberley population. He must
rebuild the railway from Modder River
town TO Kimberley and re-victual the
latter.
General French lost few men only
in action. but the forced marches and
heat have probably made many i'll.
Numbers of re-mounts must be provid-
ed.
Lord Roberts has wrought a genuine
preliminary success and the impression
Is that he has done enough for tkt.
present. lie will need to prepare for
another strike.
Al over England tonight there have
been evidences Of public joy. In every
theatre and public meeting, around the
railway stations and in the streets there
have been expressions of gladness and
jubilation over the news. The newspa-
Txrs are editorially rejoicing.
Those who read the news closely see
Cnly one disturbing factor in the Cape
situation. and that is the pressure OF
the Beers toward Lord Roberts line Of
supply through De Aar, which was never
more important than now.
The Beers under COmmandants De
larey and Gobler are making a persist
ent effort to penetrate to the railway.
They have pushed Gcneral Clements
back to Arundel and have outhanked
him. All are within sixty miles, or two
days hard march, of the central rail
way. Doubtless Lord Roberts has left
