By Telegraph to the News. -
IjONDON, April s 25. British opera
tions to the east of Bloemfontein are
' increasing, in importance 1 with each
day's news. What at first appeared
to be a diversion for the relief of Wep
ener, has developed into an; operation
on a large scale. Saving the garrison
of Wepener ihas become only an inci
dent in. the4 general movement, having
for. Its" object the enveloping of all the
Boers on Roberts' flank, ; and which
will probably merge into a general ad
vance on Kroonstadt before it is fin
ished. "A cordon is now being stretch
ed around thk Boers on three sides. The
British have about forty thousand
men the Boers not over fifteen thous
and, so they must m ove quickly to -escape
being surrounded. One line., of
retreat to Lady brand yet remains "open
and escape or capture should be deter
mined on in the next few days. This
will have' an important bearing on the
war. ' " ,

; ? f Tried Siz Times.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
. decision- of the lower court in the case
Maggie Means, r administratrix of
Taylor -Means, her husband, vs. the
Carolina Central , Railroad Company
To the legal profession this case has
been one of the most interesting ever
tried in Mecklenburg, county. It has
been tried six ; times -three times in
the Superior Court, and three, ( times in
the Supreme Court. The final. decision.
of the court is in favor of - the plain
tiff. This case was an action brought
in 1895, , in . the Superior ;Cppr,tJ; of this
county, for damages sustained by the
plaintiff for .the wrongful, and negli
gent killing; of her "husband by tht
railroad company. Taylor Means was
a. brakesman on a mixed train s of the
defendant company, and his duties
were to attend to the rear coach and
shanjty. car and. look after the passen
gen "The-.engineer on this train per
formed both the duties of engineer ana
conductor; The case developedthe. fact'
that the engineer., ordered Means 'to
take U0 . tIckets,one night -i and take
them to the engine.;Mlpandrotrey.

engine, and while ;,tfemirfring to'fe-

The acts of negligence alleges
defendant were: . (1) the vafif a
conductor; (2) , wroughtfil cdmmahd;
(3), not stopping train and waiting for
Means to return to coach; (4), want of
ladder on' tender.- The courts 4decidea
in favor' of defendant 'two times and
in favor of plaintiff four times. This is
possibly , the most ' thdroughly mixed
case that ha ever, come;: before, i the
