RUNAWAY.

Yesterday afternoon Max Kohn engaged
team of horses and carriage for the pur
pose of taking some young lady visitors
out riding. He had with him Miss Bertha
kohn, Miss Reigleman, of Des Moines, who
is visiting her sister Mrs Joseph May, and
Miss Julia Levi, of Philadelphia, visitor
at the residence of Ed Kohn. During the
afternoon, the party visited all the points
of interest in this locality, and were home
ward bound when the accident occurred.
About o'clock they were coming down
Elm street, and when near the brewery
on that street. Mr.. Kohn alighted for the
purpose of securing drink of water.
During his absence, one of the horses
stepped on bucket, and becoming
frightened made lunge which caused the
other animal to start on brisk run. The
lady occupants become frightened, and
lost all control of the horses. The horses
ran down the hill, increasing their speed
at every jump. When half way down the
decline, and almost directly in front of the
residence of E. Fl. Anawalt on Fifth
avenue, the carriage careened and
threw the occupants out into the road
After this mishap the horses continued
their fight, until they were brought in
contact with house, when they were
captured without sustaining any material
injury, or causing any great damage to
the vehicle
The ladies were more or less injured two
of them Miss Levi and Miss Reigleman.
sustaining serious of not dangerous in
juries. The former was thrown with great
violence to the ground, striking upon her
head and shoulders. She was insensible
for some hours, but is much improved this
morning. and the attending physician
entertains hopes of her ultimate
recovery. She, in company with the other
ladies, was conveyed to the residence of
Mr.. Anawalt where a physician was
summoned and every attention paid to
her wants
Miss Reigleman was also injured by the
fall, but nothing of a serious nature is
apprehended. Last evening she was con
veyed to the residence of her sister Mrs.
May, where she is reported to be rapidly
improving this morning.
Miss Kohn escaped with few slight
bruises, and was soon able to be about.
although suffering somewhat from the
effects of the accident
This afternoon the young ladies were all
reported to be improving, and no fatal re-
suits are anticipated.

Old Enough.

The sole detracting feature, even
limited at, as 4 possible objection to the
nomination of Hon Geo Clementson,
by the coming convention, and this
thrown out as n forlorn hope, is the all
eyed fact of youthfulness. Undoubtedly
Father Time is to blame for much of this
as the old gentleman has been unusually
kind in his dealings with Mr.. Clement
son. Yet, Notwithstanding that the
grey hairs are barely visible and the
wrinkled lines of age are noticeable only
by their absence. Mr. Clementson looks
back upon the mile stone along life 5
pathway that marks two score years,
thus being now five years beyond the
constitutional limit placed upon the
highest Office in the gift of the nation.
Old as he may be in years he is much
older in experience, old in acquaintance
with legal lore, old in integrity, old in a
tireless industry, old in everything that
goes to make an honest, christian gen
tleman, who's word is as good as his
bond and in whose hands the judicial
crmine would be safe from stain or
tarnish

Looking Over the Situation.

People are prone to be governed by
extremes. The optimist and the pessi-
mist may view subject from the
same plan but always from entirely diff
ent standpoints. To the one the land-
scape is enveloped in rosy radiance of
certain success while to the other the
grey shades of defeat are only visi-
Bile. Already these two classes have
developed in matters bearing on the
present judicial contest. Yet the one
is as far from the right as the other.
While THE HERALD is not particularly
impressed with the transcendent judi
cial abilities of Judge Cothren it is well
aware of his skill as political leader
when it is his own fat that is to be saved
from the fire. He is Skillful manipu-
lator of wires, is an adept in getting on
the especially soft side of any particular
person whose vote or influence he may
want and has no hesitancy in descend
ing to the lowest tricks of demagogism
in order to obtain his ends. Combine
these talents, for such they be, though
of rather low order. and the investi-
gator will fnd candidate whom i is
simply nonsense to consider as already
defeated before the campaign is fairly
opened.
But, on the other hand, while recog-
nizing the present incumbent of the
bench rs strong candidate, THE HER
AID is equally positive that, strong as
he is, he not only can but will be de
feated at the coming election, provided
the Republican party decide wisely and
well through its representatives at the
/ convention now near ut hand. The dis
trict is Republican by good, round
majority, if all the votes are polled. 1t
is known at the outset that there is al
ways felt the drawback at judicial
election of light vote. Electors are
/ busy or are not interested and therefore
stay at home instead of attending to their
duties as voters. This inertia can be
overcome in part by popular candid
ate and one in whose abilities to win a
victory the people have confidence. An
available candidate ut the present time
is not only one against whom no criti.
cism can be offered, but one who will,
by his personal magnetism, arouse feel.
ing of desire to see him elected and an
active pulling of coats in his interest, il
order to attain that end.
Such a candidate, judging from the
numerous fattering notices from the
press of the district since it was known
that his name would be presented before
the convention Hon Geo. Clementsor
appears to be. Certainly no filter MAJ
could be chosen, even when the numer
Gus and able juriStS named in conncc
ton with the nomination are taken int,
consideration. Mr.. Clementson'S nom
iuation would create great wave o
popular enthusiasm in Grant county an,
there is reason TO believe that i
would have a corresponding effect il
other counties of the district.

A Fiery Lesson.

The recent great fire in New York.
where several hundred human beings
were penned up in the third aud fourth
floors Of business block, cut off from
all escape except by the windows, is a
sad commentary on the moral guilt
which property owners will assume in
order that a few extra dollars may be
saved Had this building been provided
with proper lire escapes all the inmates
could have been rescued from the burn
ing building without the loss of a single
precious life The blood of the victims
of this catastrophe falls upon the heads
Of the owners of the structure. which. in
the light of the recent terrible expert
ence, is now known to have been veri-
able death trap.

the Richland Observer includes that Of

Judge is like all other Grant county
people, a thorough Clementson man, be-
lieving that he is the strongest man
mentioned in connection with the nom
nation and feeling further that should
the convention see fit TO honor Mr.,
ClementSon with the nomination the
chances fora successful contest will be
greatly enhanced.
