NEW PACKET STEAMING
 TO RELIEF LIGHTWOOD
Pine Bluff Boat Breaks Shaft at Red. fork-Bay Queen Expected Here
 Tomorrow.

Coincident with the receipt of news that the river steamer Bay Queen has passed Cairo, and is now proceeding down the Mississippi river toward Pine Bluff, came the news yesterday that the steamer Lightwood of the Pine Bluff and Rosedale Packet com pany, had broken shaft near Red fork, about 12O miles below Pine Bluff.
 Manager Jos. c. Meyer of the pack ct company stated last night that the Bay Queen will most likely reach the Lightwood this afternoon, and will relieve her in the Arkansas river trade until the broken shaft can be repaired, after which both boats will be kept in the river transportation business between Pine Bluff and points on the Mississippi river.
 The Bay Queen has been delayed ill her progress from Ironton, Ohio. be- cause of the extreme cold weather which has prevailed in that section the past week, the high stage of the water, and the great quantities of ice in the Ohio river. Now that she nas reached the Mississippi, more raplt progress is expected.

GENERAL VON MACKENzEN.
 Geneva, Jan. 9.-The French writ CT, Paul Louis Hervier, in the "Nou- velle Revue" tells how the now fam ous Field Marshal August von ] Mackenzen won the Iron Cross in the war of 1S70-71, when he still was a young "Wachtfeister'' or sergeant major of cavalry. He says:
 Early in the morning of October 5, 1870, Duke Albrecht of Prussia, whose headquarters were at the vil-- lage of Toury, called for volunteers to undertake a dangerous reconnoit- ering expedition. The first man to answer the call was yonug Macken- zen. He was made leader of a little patrol of five men and penetrated the French lines. After the five dare devils had obtained the information desired by Prince Albrecht, Macken- zen decided that they should try to get back to the German lines sepa- rateiy, so that not all of them might be captured, if things went wrong at the last moment.
 "Mackenzen had a very difficult road to travel and almost despaired of ever getting behind the German front again. Every few minutes he had to hide in, the bushes to escape French cavalry patrols, who were swarming over the territory. His position be- came critical when he ran into a group of peasants who surrounded him. Luckily he had thrown away his soldiers cap and his uniform was hidden by a large civilian cloak of French make. As he spoke French very well and claimed to be an Asa tian he succeeded in deceiving the peasants and they left him.
 "This narrow escape made the young .wachtmeister' reckless. When he met French soldier little later he shouted, Long live Prussia,' and dived into a thicket. The Frenchman fired after him and the shot brought more French soldiers to the scene who sent fusilade into the bushes.
 "Mackenzen was grazed by bull let but escaped practically unhurt and reached the German lines safely. After he had made his report he was invited to dine with Prince Albrecht, who pinned the Iron Cross to his breast. Two weeks later he was made lieutenant"
