QUARTETTE OF RUNAWAYs.
They WhoOp It Up and Mako Things
Lively.

Lively.
Yesterday was notable for its number
and unique novelty of runaways. They
were thick as bed bugs in tenement
house and each furnished q different va
riety of music The balmy air, spring
like weather and tolerably good sliding
brought out large number of steppers,
and several of the brutes being too spir-
tied for their drivers they managed to get
away.
The most exciting, and at once the
most damaging episode of the day, oc-
Cured about 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon. About that hour team attached
to a cutter belonging to Farewell & Co.,
and containing three young men, took
fright at the corner of Eighth and Jack
son streets. The animals pranced along
at lively gait till the street Car track
was reached, when the cutter struck a
frog and was upset The occupants were
thrown out, but they were none the worse
for that.
The music then set in lively. The
spirited steeds then gobbled the bits and
started out jackson street at a gait bet
ter than 2:40. On reaching the Method
ist church corner, at Ninth stree t., they
took to the sidewalk and straightway the
pedestrians on that side of the street re-
membered that the walking was better
across the way The brutes went pell
nell out jackson to Eleventh street,
where they ran afoul of lumber pile and
this settled it,
The shock threw both horses down,
broke one of their legs and knocked the
cutter into duck feed.
The wreck was picked up and the
wounded animal was killed. The loss
will amount to $500.
An awful jolly episode Of the runaway
order also took place on jackson street,
near Twelfth, about O'Clock last even
ing. The fun of it was that when ques-
toned, the young lady and gentleman
who were in the cutter, were so absorbed
as to not know that such an affair had
taken place. This may be considered
donable-absent-m -mindedness or SOM
nambulism.
The accident happened as follows: At
the hour named young man named
Eaton, accompanied by young lady was
driving spirited animal along jackson
street. On nearing Twelfth street the
horse SHE'D, climbed over sidewalk and
rolled down six or eight feet embank-
ment. The young people were thrown
out and the horse rose up and started
down town on his own hook. The top
was lifted from the cutter, aside from
which no material damage was done.
A horse attached to demoralized cutter
was picked up last night at the foot of
Sibley street. The rig was left at Over
peck's.
About noon yesterday a cutter upset
opposite Merriam's park, in the Fifth
ward, throwing the driver out and
frightening the horse, which started to
runaway. The driver held his grip on
the ribbons, and was dragged nearly 8

Il PECULIAR CASE,
An Old Mans Pursuit of Young La

An Old Mans Pursuit of Young Lady.
There is q species of infatuation prin-
cipally confined to the male animal, which
is constantly exposed to the most extrava-
giant manifestations, while in other re-
spects it is allied to cool judgment, sound
reasoning, and the most exemplary course
of conduct. While some sort of real or
fancied affinity Is necessary and INSOFAR
able to its existence, 1t IS seldom the out
growth of genaine love. When cherished
for any considerable length of time it as
sumes the form of insecurity, and its chief
delight or main object in life consists in
burning desire to persecute in every
conceivable manner the object of its
pseudo affections
This most peculiar species of insanity
or morbid affection ran to seed, is pos
sessed and practiced by gentleman of
st. Paul, whose fatal propensity consists
in bounding down young woman and
subjecting her at all times to the most
despicable species of petty tyranny and
persecution. In appearance he is the
ideal of an old beau-such gallant as
would have ruined the kid and lavender
ideal of Chesterfield and immortaliZed
the FURNISHED wit of Addison or Stearne
He is well known in st. Paul, and during
the past winter he has been notably pres
ent at all the fetes or parties. Scrupu-
lousy neat, he is curled darling, with
original moustache, frescoed in the high
est style of the art, and jet black hair
| which never cost a cent less than 800.
He Is every day of fifty and is slenderly
built, effecting a style that is decidedly
womanish. For eight years this creature
has been infatuated with young lady,
who shall be known as the rotund and
beautiful Theresa. Night and day has
his baleful presence followed her with
the persistency of an evil eye. He has
harrassed, bulldozed, threatened, en-
treated, adored, worshipped, spitefully
abused her, but never left her. She is
afraid to receive callers Or be seen in the
company of gentlemen; he has threatened
to annihilate admirers. Not long since
he was confronted by one of her ad-
mirers He tore his hair-or wlg-and
raved A duel was suggested, but no, he
had never fired shot in his life. Then
fight was suggested-not now, he re-
piled, 1 am too excited; let it go till
morning, and will eat him up. Mean
| time the young lady is in dread of her
life He follows her to balls and parties,
| where they make coat rack of him. 1t
is expected that blood curdling tragedy
will be the upshot- of his passion.

SUDDEN DEATH.
JOIN, 4. B0ssett Found Dead in Bed, the
Result Of Eating a Hearty Supper.

John 4. Bassett Found Dead in Bed, the
Result Of Eating a Hearty Supper.
Yesterday morning John T. Bassett was
found dead in his bed, at the residence of his
uncle, Joel B. Bassett.
On Saturday evening the deceased ate a
hearty meal about O'Clock, and afterward
laid down for short nap. At II O'Clock he
retired to his room, and was not seen or heard
from until his body was discovered by one of
the family, who went to call him for break
fast. When found the body was still warm,
and messenger was despatched for physi-
clan, with hopes that life might not yet be
extinct. DR.. Murray arrived within few
moments, and pronounced all attempts to re-
suscitate useless, death having resulted several
hours previous. The body was found lying
in anatural position in the bed, and it is prob
able that death rcurred while the deceased slept
The coroner was notiiel, and together with
Drs. Murray and Rogers, made post mortem
examination, which showed that death had
been caused by congestion and eodema of the
brain.
The deceased was young man % years of
age, nephew of Joel B. Bassett, and resided
at Fairfield, a station on the Northern Pacific
road near Brainerd. He had been in the city
only about month, and was attending school
at the business college on N1collet avenue,
and seemed in good health, except that he
complained of pain in his head Word was
telegraphed to his parents at Fairfield, inform
ing them of the sad event, and the body was
taken to his home by the train last evening.

.Rattlin0 Ritndlcdy.

Yesterday morning about 1890 O'Clock, a
gray horse attached to a cutter, the outfit
owned by John Miller, ran away onthe East
side. Taking the street car track at University
avenue, the animal fairly flew along Central
avenue, across both bridges, and up Hennepin
avenue. At the left of the postoffice he took
to the sidewalk, and in collision with tele-
graph pole at this point, threw out the driver.
This did not seem to slacken his speed, but
rather increased it, and as he turned the corner
of Second street, he made the affair
more lively by running into
bootblack, and knocking him into
snow bank which fortunately for the boy,
happened TO be just there. In front of Hushs
bank, what was LIFT of the cutter struck rig
hitched to a post and frightened the horse SO
that the halter was snapped and he took run.
Both teams were afterward caught and the
only damage done was to the cutters, both of
which were badly demoralized. The driver of
Miller's rig and the bootblack were found to
have sustained only few bruises and the
crowd which had assembled resumed their
journeys toward the various sanctuaries.

Protest From Cincinnati and indianapolis
Against False Reports About Hog Dis
eases---An English Protest Exposure of
the Alarm About Trichinosis.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 5.-The Board of
Trade to-day adopted resolutions declar-
ing that there is not the slightest danger
from the use of hog products as food and
denouncing the false reports propagated
throughout Europe about American hogs.
CINCINNATI, March 5.-Prcsident
Urner, having received a dispatch from
T. Parker, president of the New York
Produce Exchange, to the effect that the
British consul at Philadelphia had sent
statement to England that 100000 hogs
had died in Ohio of cholera, and similar
dispatches having been received by other
persons from New York, Chicago, ~
dianapolis and other places, the chamber
was convened and the following resolu-
ton unanimously adopted and ordered
sent to Sir Edward Thornton, the British
minister at Washington, and to Senators
Pendleton and Sherman:
WHEREAS, 1t is currently reported that
the British consul at Philadelphia has
ent dispatch to England, completely
false in character, to the effect that seven
hundred thousand Ohio hogs have died
from cholera, therefore,
Resolged, That the Cincinnati chamber
of commerce hereby give to the repre-
sentatives of Great Britain in this coun-
try, the most positive assurance that the
hogs of Ohio and of the whole west, have
been, during the past year, ,singularly free
from disease of all kinds, and to respect
fully ask the members of the legation TO
take such action as will Immediately cor
rect the effect of these reports, which are
calculated to inflict great injury on the
provision trade of the United States and
Great Britain, and which have doubtless
had their sole origin in mercenary mo-
tives.
NEW YORK, March Especial cable
from London: The Newcastle daily
Chronicle says: Granting that the disor-
der known as trichinosis exists, the next
most important inquiry is as to its preva-
lence, and about this we have no hcsita-
ton in saying there has been recently no
end of exaggeration. The only alleged
instance of its appearance in England is
still matter of dispute, and like un-
trustworthiness hangs by the reports COM
ing from most other countries where the
importation of foreign pork is now being
prohibited.
How foolish the outcry is, as far as this
country is concerned, may be gathered
from the fact that America sends annu-
ally to England some o0,000,0 600 pounds
weight of hog products, following next
to cotton, the most extensive import
trade of Liverpool, and yet not single
case of death from trichinosis has ever
Dcen proved to have occurred in Great
britain.

did their bidding, sending his veto to the
House on the last day but one of the
session.
Having succeeded in their purpose of
intimidating Mr.. Hayes and Secretary
Sherman, the banks now wish to retrace
their steps. They have asked leave of
the treasury department to re-deposit the
bonds withdrawn, and take out of the
treasury the legal tenders deposited for
the retirement of their circulation, and
if this request is granted will continue
their business as heretofore. They are
apparently very solicitous in regard to
the matter, and their anxiety is proof
positive that their previous action was in
tended only as bluff. Indeed, every
man of sense knew 1t to be so. The
profits of banking under the national sys
tenn, even on the basis of three per cent
bond, are large, and will not be lightly
sacrificed by those who enjoy the priv
ilege. They used the power they had to
intimidate very weak or corrupt man,
and having accomplished their purpose
now confess their conspiracy.
The question now uppermost in the pub
lie mind is, Will President Garfield comply
with the request of the banks? Will he
so far condnoe the reprehensible conduct
of these corporations as to permit them
to roc,,roo tbo;r forn,or ,a1o t;o,c wit III r,
national treasury? In fact the banks
were in rebellion against the government
They sought to overawe Congress and
compel it to enact legislation inimical to
the public interests. They succeeded
with the de facto President by the means
that had failed with Congress. Will a
de jure President consent to again place
in their hands power that has been so
fiagrantly employed? Will he place his
administration at the mercy Of combina-
tion OF funscrupulous capitalists who have
shown their determination to either rule
or ruin the country-to control the finan-
cial policy of the nation or destroy its
or edit at home and abroad?
The people will look to President Gar
field for an answer to these questions.
They will not trust the new secretary of
the treasury, for he has neither knowl-
edge nor experience in financial affairs,
nor yet the craftsmanship necessary
to proper understanding
of the Importance of the
issue presented If Window was to be
the final arbiter the people would be
without hope, for he would prove him
self subservient to the money power.
President Garfield is the only man to
whom men can look for release from the
domination of the gigantic power that
threatens the very existence of the repub-
lie. 1t is in his power to at once settle
the relations which shall exist in the fu-
ture between the treasury and the
banks. BY refusing to receive their
bonds withdrawn for the purpose of
bulldozing the executive he can show
them that he is master of the situation,
and will submit to no such dictation as
was employed so successfully with his
predecessor. By permitting them to re.
sumo their former relations he can sur
render the independence of his admins
tration to the keeping of the money
power. Which course will he pursue?
The country awaits with anxiety his de-
cision of the momentous question.
