Meeting Between Generals Boiler and Christian at Laing’s Nek. BRITISH HAVE EVACUATED UTRECHT Ganaral Botha. Commanding tho Boar*. Withdrew From Fretorla in Good Order With Flew of Joining Prealdent Krnger—Tranavaal Forcea Still Intact. LONDON, June 7.—A special dis patch from Lourenzo Marquez, dated Tuesday, June 5, says: "Generals Buller and Christian Doth met at Laing’s Nek at Buller’s request, when a three days’ armistice was agreed upon.” The dispatch adds that the British have evacuated Utrecht. Until the sltuattlon in the neighbor hood of Pretoria is enlightened the of flQlals here, as well as others, will find difficulty in prognosticating Lord Rob erts’ immediate program. It appears evident that the Boer commander-in-chief, General Botha, With a:r his guns, withdrew in good order, probably along the Delagoa Bay railroad, with me view of Joining President Kruger. So the Transvaal forces remain practically intact, with Presidents Kruger and Steyn and Gen eral Botha and Secretary of State Reitz all safe and in a position to continue the direction of affairs. The more optimistic see in the fact that President Kruger’s wife and General Botha’s wife were left at Pretoria an indication that the president does not count on a long resistance. In any case, it will probably take Lord Rob erts at least a week to organize a campaign of pursuit. The miltary authorities anticipate that the next important news will come from General Buller’s direction; plenty of time has elapsed to complete the turning movement at Laing’s Nek.

All day armed burghers have been leaving Pretoria, going east. The greater part of tne railway rolling stock has been removed. HOT EIGHT WITH THE BOXERS.

When near St. Joseph's hospital, on South Tenth street, the horses became frightened at a runaway team attached to Dr. Porter’s buggy, which crashed into the carriage occu pied by the two women. In an instant the fiery horses were beyond control of the coachman and dashed down the street at a terrific pace. Mrs. Moons, weak and nervous from fright, at tempted to alight from the carriage, but fell to the pavement, striking the badk oT her head on the curbstone. The skull was badly fractured at the base of the brain. After Mrs. Moores fell the frightened animals galloped on down Tenth street, barely escaping serious mishap a number of times, until Mason street was reached. Here the horses ran into a wagon, throwing them from their feet and stopping the mad flight. Mrs. Mackay had clasped her little daughter tightly to her brea3t and remained in the carriage until the final collision, when they were thrown on the horses with the coachman, but fortunately all escaped serious injury. The carriage was wrecked and the horses came out with only a few' scratches. After a preliminary examination and treatment by the physicians at the drug store Mrs. Moores was removed in an ambulance to her home at 617 South Eighteenth street. In the mean time the son and daughters had ar rived, but it was nearly an hour before the mayor could be found, as he had been entertaining Envoy Wessels on behalf of the city. The mayor was finally notified and hurried at once to his wife’s side. Surrounded by her family, Mrs. Moores passed away, never having re gained consciousness.

Unbalanced Over Illness or Wife. TECUMSEH, Neb., June Clinton Gillespie of Teeumseh has disappeared and he cannot be located anywhere, and Mrs. Gillespie, his wife, died Wed nesday afternoon. The -circumstances are very interesting. Mr. Gillespie, a young man, was employed with a sec tion gang on the railroad. Recently his wife was taken sick, and the young husband was in the habit of working all day and sitting up half of the night with the sick woman. The neigh bors say that he was especially de voted and attentive. His wife's illness seemed to weigh heavily upon his mind, and friends of the family and Section Foreman Davey say he had acted rather queer of late. Tuesday night he came home from his work as usual, but instead of offering to stay with Mrs. Gillespie after supper, changed his clothes and taking his razor gave it a good honing, put it in his pocket, took some papers out of his trunk and attempted to burn them, and without a word to anyone left the house and has not been seen since. The papers that he attempted to burn were his marriage certificate, and some letters of recommendation from for mer employers. Sheriff Strong at once instituted a search for the man, but up to this time has not been able to find any clue of his whereabouts. In all probability he is mentally unbal anced. Mrs. Gillespie was very much surprised at the strange actions of her erstwhile very much devoted husband. She died this afternoon, her lasr de sire being that she might be able to see him once more before death, r _ Proposition to Complete Ditch. GERING, Neb., June 9.—The parties j who have had in hand the construction of the Farmers’ canal on the north aide of the river in Scotta Bluff and Cheyenne counties have made a propo sition to the directors of the Gering Irrigation district looking to the com pletion of the work on the latter pro ject.

PARIS, June 11.—The golden harvest of the exposition has at last begun. Twice this week the number of visitors exceeded half a million, which sur passes the figures of the 1889 exposi tion at a similar period. It is esti mated that over 8,000,000 persona have now passed the turnstiles.

It is nothing unusual for them to ask 92 for a trip for which the legal fare is 30 cents. The electrical arrangements at the Chateau D’Eau have been repaired and the illuminations during the evening are now very brilliant and effective. The American pavilion was closed for four days this week for the1 improve ment of its internal decoration. A large piece of statuary representing three wild bronchos forms a very striking centerpiece, and about it are palms and flowers and a circular sora. The walls have been repainted a softer color, relieving the former glare of white, and a number of paintings have been hung. Further improvements are contemplated. Pirates Abandon Launch.
