COL. TRAMMELL DEAD
Was Chairman of the Georgia
Railroad Commission For
Many Years.
After an illness of six weeks Colonel
Trammell, chnirman of the railroad
of Georgia, died at his
home in Marietta early Friday morn
All members of liis family were at
ing strength. The beginning of tlie
end came at noon on Thursday. Pre
vious to that time he had rallied con
siderably and it was believed by his
family and friends that he would re
cover.
It was a complication of diseases
that caused the death of Colonol
Trammell. Chief among them was an
acute stomach trouble. This, com
bined with extreme nervousness and a
sluggish circulation, so enfeebled his
constitution and sapped his strength
that the restoratives of the physioiaus
had but little effect.
Colonel Trammell has been a mem
ber of the Georgia railroad commis
sion since 1881, and during the term
of his service his headquarters have
been in the capitol building. He was
probably one of the best known men
in the state, and being at the head
quarters of the state government for so
many years, was in touch with prom
inentmen from all sections in Georgia,
and being a member of the railroad
commission, he was known also
throughout the United States.
As soon ns Governor Candler heard
the news of Colonel Trammell’s death
he ordered the flag to float at half
mast.
GUERRILLA TACTIC 5
Are Now Being Employed Against
Britons By the Desperate
Transvaalers.
According to London advices Boer
guerilla operations are reported from
points on Orange river colony.
The war office has received the fol
lowing from Lord Roberts:
“Pretoria, June 29.—Pagetreports
from Lindley he was engaged on Juue
26th with a body of the enemy strongly
re-enforced during the day. A con
voy of stores for the Lindley garrison
was also attacked on June 26th, but
after a heavy rear guard action, the
convoy reached Lindley in safety.
“Our casualties were ten killed and
four officers and about fifty men
wounded.
“The fight reported yesterday was
under Lieutenant Colonel Grenfell,
not Dreiper. Brabant came up during
the engagement.
“Total casualties of the two columns,
three killed, twenty-three wounded.
“On the previous day near Ficks
burg, Boyes’ brigade waH in action

“Our casualties were two officers
killed, four men wounded and one
man missing.
“Methuen found yesterday that the
Boer laager near Vaehkop and Spitz
Kop had been hastily removed in the
direction of Lindley. He followed the
enemy twelve miles aud captured 8,000
sheep and 500 head of cattle which the
enemy had seized in that neighbor
hood. Our casualties were four men
wounded.
“Hunter continued his march yes
terday toward the Vaal river unop
posed. A few farmers along the route
have surrendered. Springs, the term
inus of the railway from Johannes
burg, was attacked early yesterday
morning. The Canadian regiment,
which garrisons the place, beat off the
enemy.” Machodo
Boer official reports from
dorp aver that a part of the British
convoy was captured on June 23d,
near Winbnrg.
The Lourenzo Marques correspon
dent of The Twnes says:
“Both the burghers aud the foreign
ers who are arriving here profess a
strong belief that it will take from

Boers.”

BOERS BEATEN
IN TWO FIGHTS
Lord Roberts ReportsXhcy
Were “Discomfitted.”
BUKQHERS BEGAN ATTACK
Disquieting Reports Regarding the
Hospital Reaches London and Rob*
erts Explains Matter Fully.
Lord Roberts lifts sent bulletins to
London of two small tights occurring
on June 26 th and June 27th in which
the Eoers were discomfited. In a dis
patch from Pretoria dated Thursday
he says:
“A small force of mounted troops,
with mounted guns, commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel Dreiper was at
tacked by the enemy under Prefers
and Nel, on the morning of June 26th,
seven miles north of Senekal. They
beat off the enemy and burned their
laagers. Our casualties were three
wounded and ten killed.
“Hunter, temporarily commanding
Ian Hamilton’s, made a march yester
day from Heidelberg toward Frankfort
without meeting any opposition.
“The enemy attacked our Roocleval
spruit poRt on the railway yesterday,
( Thursday), but we easily beaten off
by a detachment of the Derbyshire
light infantry, the West Australian
mounted, a fifteen pohuder and an ar
moured train.
“Baden-Powell reports the capture
of an influential Boer named Ray, who
was endeavoring to raise a commando
in the Rnstinbnrg district. A patro*
brought in over a hundred lifies.
More than 4,000 rifles arid 1,000' infe
rior pieces have been taken dm ing the
last few days.
“He states that thirty Boers have
arrived at Rustenbnrg, going to their
homes from Delareys commando. They
would have left before if they carefully had seen
the proclamation which was
withheld by the Boer authority."
Lord Roberts says that Wednesday,
Jnne 27th, was a record market day
in Pretoria for Boer farmeru selling
produce.
Parties of Boers are still hanging on
General Buller’s flanks. F. R. Burn
ham, the American scout, is invalided.
On June 20th the war office cabled
Lord Roberts that disquieting reports
regarding the hosjital were accumu
lating, and asked him if anything
could be done, and particularly if
more nurses were needed.
On June 25th Lord Roberts replied,
saying that he did not wish to shirk
responsibility or to screen the short
comings of the medical corps, and he
suggested a committee of inquiry. He
said that there had been an abnormal
number of sick at Bloemfontein due
to the exhausting nature of the march
and the terribly unsanitary condition
of the camp at Paardeburg, ivliere the
only water available for drinking flow
ed from the Boer camp higher up,
where the river was crowded with de
composing animals and also with a
number of wounded after the fight on
March 10th.
To improvise accommodations at
Bloemfontein for such a number,
which had become 2,000 before he left
Bloemfontein, was no easy task, said
Lord Roberts. No tents were carried,
and the public buildings had to be
turned into hospitals. Jn three mouths
there Pad been 6,309 admissions to the
hospitals of patients suffering from
enteric fever, while the deaths num
bered about 1,370—about 21 per cent.
Lord Roberts observed that he did not
know whether this would be an ab
normal rate in civil hospitals in peace
times, but if the rate was abnormal it
was due to the exhausted state of the
men, and not to the neglect of the
medical corps.
RUSSIA Ts PREPARING.
Secret Orders Are [ssued For flobili
zation of Big Army.
The Vorwearts (German newspaper)
says: “From an absolutely reliable
source we hear the Russian war min
ister has sent to all military aud civil
authorities in Russia secret orders tc
prepare everything for mobilization."
BOERS RENEW TACTICS.
Their Activity Increase* With Rob
erts’ Acquiescence.
Telegrams reaching London from
South Africa indicate that the renewed
Boer activity increases in proportion
with Lord Roberts’ acquiescence, so
the completion of the commander in
chief’s enveloping movement supposed
to be in progress is anxiously awaited.
The latest news supports the reports
that Boers succeeded in piercing Gen
eral Bundle's lines aud penetrated
southward.
