Rivers are Low.

Capt W. d. Pugh, superintendent
OF the Yazoo Transportation Com,
pany, reports that the company has
been compelled to abandon attempts
to run the larger boats plying in the
river trade owing to the low stage
OF water. The Yazoo river has
reached the lowest stage recorded for
many years, and only the smaller
steamboats, are able to get up and
down the stream. The tic up of the
larger boats is a rather severe blow
owing to- the large amount of cotton
beng offered for transportation at
various points. Every stream in the
State Is IN the same condition, Pearl
river beng remarkably low, and only
one or two very small boats are en-
deayorlng to navigate the stream.

investigation of the circumstances
connected with the escape of three
eonvicts who have taken their de-
parture from the Rankin State farm
