Jackson, Miss, October 27.-(Special) The engineering department of the city of Jackson has been busily engaged the past three or four days hauling the new pump for the water works plant, mile north of the town, and have had hard time of 1t. The machinery has been divided into as small sections as possible, and yet there are some very heavy pieces, as has been proven. fes- terday a stout wagon drawn by SIX yoke of oxen wended it's way slowly through town from the depot, and when in the vicinity of the state institution for the blind, where there is clay hill, the wagon wheels went into the earth up to the hub, and there they stuck. Other yokes of big oxen were secured from neighboring farmers, but it was not until IT yoke had been strung out in line that the heavy load was moved out of the rut and gotten to the water works pumping station.
 Detective W. M. Pinson has returned from Shreveport, La, where he has been assisting the law and order ele- ment the past few weeks, and reports that he bagged so blind tigers. and that every one was convicted when brought before the courts. Sentence had not been passed on the convicted parties when MT. Pinson left, but he does not doubt they will all get doses they will remember, the courts and the officers being in thorough sympathy with the movement to eradicate this very unde- sirable class of citizens, and rendering him every possible assistance in run ming them down.
 Since his return home MT. Pinson has heard from Holmes county, where one or his old blind tiger friends has broke loose again, and will probably go up to Durant to assist in suppressing him once more. The fellow is reported to have dehed the whole town, but he was finally arrested and landed in jail. There is very heavy fine and long term imprisonment now bending against him in the supreme court, and MT. Pinson is anxiously await ing a decision as it was through his eff forts these penalties were imposed sev- eral months ago.

V., has issued general orders No. IS, again advis- ing his comrades of the annual reunion to be held in the city of Vicksburg on Mo- vember Il and 12, and urging them to be present They are also urged to pay their dues It is impressed on all veterans that Vicksburg not only expects the att tendance of the delegates appointed by the various camps, but will be happy to see any and all other veterans on this oc- casion.

 Chief of Police Allen has made ex- tensive arrangements for policing Jack son on the occasion of the visit of Pres ident Taft and party on November l, and for riddng the city Of crooks and other undesirable and suspicious charac- ters. This Is a matter that is looked after very carefully by the secret service men, It seems. Chief Allen has a let ter from Chief Inspector Connor of New Orleans, telling him that L. c. Wheel CT of the secret service will be in Jack son tomorrow or next day to consult with him as to the arrangements for handling the crowd on Taft day, and will cooperate in every way possible.
