Last Sunday evening while Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. Flaherty were driving In
the country, the horses became
frightened and started to run. Mr..
Flaherty held the reins firmly but
the whifflle-tree was broken and in
his endeavor to restrain the frantic
horses, he was thrown to the ground
under the buggy. At the same time
the pole dropped and was forced
into the ground. Fortunately this
had the effect of stopping the horses
and rescuing Mrs. Flaherty from a
most critical position. Mr.. F. was
bruised about the head and shoulders
but not seriously.

Commander Kane Exonerated.

WASHINGTON, May s.-Admiral Jouett
recently ordered a court of inquiry at
Aspinwau, to investigate the charges
made against Cowmander Kane, to the
effect that he did not perform his duty at
the time of the burning of that place.
The finding of the court has been re-
ceived at the navy department. and is as
follows.
That the American flag was insulted
as alleged by the seizure of the steamship
Colon, and the forcible arrest and i'm
prisonment of a number Of American citi-
zens, including an officer of the United
States navy in uniform, and Robert X.
Wright, Jr., United States consul at
Aspinwall, which, however, We find to
have been done on the 3Oth day of March,
under forces which, in our opinion, were
not revolutionary, but were part of an
armed mob acting under the orders of one
Pedro Preston, who was denounced by
both the existing political parties of the
state of Panama, as a robber and assassin,
who called himself a r~evolutionist
to cover his base designs.
The conduct of Commander Kane was,
in our opinion. (based on the concordant
testimony Of all the witnesses who have
been before the court, as well as those who
have testified by deposition) eminently
proper. lie acted with Judgment, dis
cretion and irmness, and in accordance
with his orders. Had Commander Kane
acted otherwise than as he did, there is no
doubt the lives of the American citizens
imprisoned by Preston would have been
sacrificed, with no benefit to Americans or
other foreigners, either in the saving of
life or property. The burning of Aspin-
wall would have followed the murder of
Preston's prisoners, and in all probability
other American citizens would have been
made victims OF Preston's malignant
fury

Last night his neighbors gave him a re-

WHEREAS, Our most worthy and es-
TENED brother, A. NJ. Musser, by loyalty
to the commands of our Heavenly Father,
and bv his provident and paternal care to
his family, has brought himself under
the ban of an unconstitutional act OF con-
gress, called the ''Edmund's law by a
system of espionage instituted by corrupt

Arrested for Perjury.

NEW YORK. May S.-Harvey Nj. Mum
sell, of 224 West Fifty-second street, an
insurance broker, and the eleventh juror
in the trial of Richard Short for the at
tempted assassination of Capt. Phelan in
O'Donovan Rossa's Office on Jan. Q, was
arrested this afternoon by a de~tectivefrom
the district attorneys office on an order
issued by Judge Van Brunt, who pre-
sided over the trial, charging Munsell with
misdemeanor, perjury and contempt of
court. 1t has been discovered by District
Attorney MARITIME that on several days
before the trial Munsell WAS in consulta-
ton with Short in the Tombs, and that
during the recess of the court on Wednes-
day, when the trial was pending, he visited
Rossa's office and had a consultation with
Patrick Joyce. Bail was fixed at $1,000.
Munsell will be indicted Monday.
The district attorney had his own de-
tectiyes and Pinkerton's men watching
the jurors from the time they were i'm
panneled, neither party of watchers
knowing they had rivals in the case. The
warden and keeper of the Tombs. as well
as a prisoner whom Munsell went to see,
and two tenants in Rossa's building, are
the witnesses. Each set of detectives
made a similar report. The district at
torney is confident that he can convict
Munsell. Munsell was seen in the
Tombs tonight. He says he went to
Rossa's Office to get a better idea of the
surroundings than the diagrams shown in
the court gave, and remained there
only about a minute, and spoke
to no one while there. He saw Short
once in the Tombs when he called to see
Orrin Skinner, the alleged swindler, who
had obtained money from him. Skinner
had promised to try and get some of Mum
sells money back for him, and had asked
him to visit Mrs. Skinner, who was dying
in Quincy, Ill, On this occasion he did
not speak to Short and got only such a
poor visw of him that.he did not recog-
nize him when Short took the witness
chair. Munsell claims to be opposed to
dynamite plans, but that on the evidence
produced on the trial, he could only con-
scientiously acquit the prisoner
