A Case of Hard Luck.

Meridian, Miss, March 2l.-V. L.
Brown, we'll known brakeman on
the Alabama & Vicksburg railroad,
was seriously though not fatally in
jured last Monday night at Newton
station by falling from the top of a
freight car. In addition he is $3.50 to
the bad IN financial way and was
compelled to postpone his marriage
which was to have occurred at Hat
tiesburg this afternoon. At present
Brakeman Brown is at the home of his
people near Rushing's Store in the
northern part of Lauderdale county,
where he is being treated for the IN
juries received.
The facts surrounding the case lead
those who have Investigated to believe
that instead of falling from the roof
of the freight car, Brown was knock
ed off by some one who was aware of
the large amount of money he had on
his person, as this was missed by the
brakeman Immediately after he re-
gained his senses.
The other members of the crew were
at the side of the injured man in n
very short time after he happened to
the accident and not one of them saw
any strange person lurking about but
nevertheless the robbery impression is
given credence for the money was
missed Immediately and it was posi-
BILE that Brown might have been
searched before any of the crew
reached him.

Gus complaints are being made against
the inadequaoy of the waterworks
service in Jackson and the insufficient
pressure which has been the cause of
the destruction of about $75, 900 worth
of property during the present week.
Sentiment is forming quite strongly

year it is likely that the city council
will take advantage of the opportuni
