A Runaway Horse Plunges into the Chi
cag0 RiVer-One Life Lost.

CHICAGO, July IL.
Four children-Stephen, George and
Amelia Gigg, and Antonia Theuan-were
seated in light buggy which was driven at
a rapid rate along Harrison street Wednes-
day evening. At Fifth avenue the horse
became frightened at some boys who were
playing in the streets and ran westward
at a desperate rate. The youthful
driver was unable to check its speed
or turn from the draw-bridge, which was
open for the passage of boats. When the
children on the rear seat, George and Anne
liza, saw the horse was going off the abut-
ment into the river, they leaped from the
buggy and escaped with slight injuries. The
driver and the other occupant were unable
to get out and went over into the water.
The girl Theuan was rescued by Captain
O'Niel, seaman, but the Gregg boy was
drowned. His body has not been recovered
The horse and buggy were not injured.

THE Court of Appeals of Maryland
has decided that a wife can become o
creditor of her husband, a decision hav
ing been rendered to this effect in that
State the other day, in case where a
wife had loaned money to husband un.
derthe express promise of payment. The
husband became insolvent, and, in deed
of trust for the benefit of his creditors,
he preferred his wife to the extent of her
claim. The other creditors opposed this
preference; but the Court sustained the
deed of trust to the wife.

TIE Bishops are so. alarmed at the
storm of criticism evoked by their oppo-
sition to the deceased wife's sister bill
that they are preparing to publish re-
ply in justification, explaining their mo-

at the failure of the measure, which puts
the intended marriage of the Princess
Beatrice to her widowed brother-in-law
as far off as ever, that project being said
to explain the warm advocacy of the bill
by the Prince of Wales and his broth.
