General Maynard and the Miriam Case.
One of the first matters to be called TO the
attention of Minister Maynard when he arrives
here TO assume the duties of Postmaster
General. will be the case of Miriam, upon
whom Maynard passed sentence of death on
June last. for the murder of Dabour, a Turk
ish subject. Strong efforts are making to
secure the pardon of Miriam, and grave doubts
are expressed in the cabinet, notably by
Evarts. as to the constitutionality of the law
which permits one of our consular or minis
terial officers TO pass sentence of death with
ont trial by jury. In this case Minister
Maynard sat alone as judge and jury.
Secretary Evarts is also reported TO have said
no one will he hanged in like circumstances
and without jury trial so long as he is Secre-
tary of State and has an Influential voice in
the management of foreign affairs.
General Maynard expects to enter upon his
duties tomorrow.

An Exciting Chapel Street Runaway.

<AAA AHAcASAAAE Nh~PcA SAEcC1 NuAAWAys
 There was considerable excitement for a time on Chapel street yesterday forenoon. At about Il o'clock Mir. G. w. Hazel, the stove dealer, was driving down the street in his business wagon, and opposite F. A. Bow mans photographic establishment attempted to drive in between horse car and buggy. His wheels locked with the carriage, and the concussion threw MT. Hazel from his seat forward upon the horse. The animal started on a run and threw MT. Hazel to the ground, two wheels either passing over him or strik- ing him heavily. He was taken into neigh boring store and cared for, and thence con- veyed to his home, where he was attended by Dr. Bradley. He will be confined to the house for a few days and perhaps longer. The team went no, and at Church street struck team driven by Robert Bright. A boy in the rear of the wagon was sent flying and landed on his back in the street, uninjured however, to any ex- tent. The runaway team further on struck the coupe of Edward Stevens, of Wooster Place, scratching it and breaking lamp. It also grazed the carriage of Mir. S. H. Nose ley, of the New Haven House which was standing near the New Haven Bank Anoth- CT team standing in front of the Union Trust Company's office was struck and turned the Hazel wagon over The horse. by the upset was freed from the wagon and ran on at a fearful rate Opposite the Elliott House the animal dashed into the rear of one of Barker & Ransom's fine carriages. It merely sent the carriage few feet ahead, but the animal was pierced deeply in the, breast by the pump handle piece of gearing project- ing from the rear of tie trunk rack. The animal fell and was soon in pool of it's blood. Dr. Tibbals attended it and thought it might recover if iockjaw didnot intervene.
