near Hockessin, Del, in company with
his wife, WAS driving n young horse out
of the door way at Hagen * Bros liv-
cry and boarding stable, No. ia Ship.
10y street, the animal iecams unman-
agabie caused by ono of the blinds on
the bride being loose, which tapped up
and down, ,sca'ing the animal, " hen he
started across the pavement on u run.
One of the gates at St. Andrews church
being open the horse proceeded iuto the
yard, leaving the buggy with its occu
pants on the sidewalk. Young Dan.
Hagen bad got the horse by the head,
and although he was jammed up agaipst
the gate post, he held on with true grit,
thereby averting what might have been
berlons accident. Bruising
yousg Hagen's arms and legs, and
breaking the harness and the swinele
tree was the extent OF the mishap,
which was rather lucky one for Mr.
Richardson. The damage TO the vehi.

The m,s.sur Pacific striLer,.

A telegram from Atohison, Kansas,
says that the Missouri Pacific strikers
on Sunday night took possession of seve.
raj passenger trains and refused to let
more than the engine and mail car 60
through. Ga Monday Superintendent
Pagan took the stand that the Company
was not required by law to carry the
mails on other than regular passenger
trains, with the full complement of
coaches, and he ordered that the mail
car should not go out without the regu-
lar coaches attached. Post office In
spector Crowell thereupon appeared and
warned the strikers that under such
construction of the law they would be
liable for stopping mail matter. After
consultation, the strikers agreed to
let all passenger trains go through
hereafter, and they are now running
regularly. The railroad officials on
Monday evening appealed to the City
Council and Sheriff for protection, but
was told that they were powerless.
A telegram stating the fact was then
sent 10 the Governor.

There are still some choice pictures left,
although a large number have been

prices at which they were offered, there
would not be a single picture on hand.

| WASHINGTON, March O.-The Presi
dent held his first Ca binet meeting to
day. All the members were present q
noon, and they met around the lonf
table In the room adjoining the Preei
dents private Office, where the Emanci
patton PROCLAMATION was signed, and
where Hayes used to jot down the
apph cations of office seekers whom hs
Intended 10 disappoint.
Tue Cabinet was In session about two
hours and half, and the time WAS
mainly consumed In n a.discussion as to
tne manner Of Hing various offices OF
the Government which require immedi-
ATE attention because OF the relati ops
which those occupants will bear to { he
heads Of the different department t.
There was but very little time spent In
discussing other questions.
Thus far, the Treasury has only been
supplied with an assistant secretary of
the same political,faith as Mr.. Manning.
There are three assistant postmasters
general and secretary Of the interior, q
telicitor general for the Department of
Justice, appointment clerks, disbursinQ
ofncer, an assistant secretary of State,
thirty or forty foreign missions, and q
large number of subordinate officers
who are not In accord politically with
tho new Administration, and whose
removal may be expected at any time.
THE PRoBABIE RESULT.
The members Of Mr.. Cleveland q Cati.
net appear TO be quite as reticent re
garding what transpires in their coun.
ellis as were President Arthur's ad visers.
The correspondents have not had a
monopoly Of Cabinet news since Hay es
went out. During his term Postmaster
general Key had no hesitation in telling
his friebds all that transpired IN the
Cabinet meetings,
IL is said, however, that at TO days
meeting each member of the Cabinet
submitted list of appointments In his
department beld to be essential TO the
