DISASTROUS RUNAWAY.

A Fine Gas Lamp Leveled With the Dust.
Yesterday morning about ii o'clock a
very serious runaway occurred on Twelfth
street, between Chspline and Market streets,
which ended in the total wrecking ofthe
large gas light at Grubb's corner and NOV
ing from its proper position the heavy stone
covering the mouth of the sewer, upon which
the light stood. The team which did this
damage, belonged to Peter Welty, and the
horses took fright just in front of Samuel
LaughliB's residence, on Chsplins street
They ran disgonslly across Twelfth street
TO the gas Office, where the driver succeeded
in turning them sharply back toward the
north side of the street, narrowly missing a
buggy as he passed. The team
ran over on the pavement on the north side
of Twelfth street, and then, the driver hsv.
ing leaped of, they tore down the sidewalk
at o terrible pace, a lady and a child escsp-
ing with difficulty. The horses kept slightly
toward the gutter, and when in front Of
Grubb's ~jewelrY store the pole of the wagon
etruck the large gas post with terrible vio-
lence. The pest, with its handsome lamp
and letter-box, was hurled to the ground,
the bolts running through the heavy stone
being broken from their fastening. and the
stone itself moved a foot out oS position
The pole of the wagon was reduced to
kindliDg wood, and the vehicle, which was
new, otherwise Injured. The horses escaped
with very slight hurts, which is wonderful,
considering the violence of the shock. The

"A 8 0ft Talk with Capt. Haase ON the
Prospects In New Mexico
Cap. 7. a.. B. Haass returned yesterday
from Socorro, New Mexico, bringing back
his family, the members Of which have been
s~ojourning in Virginia for some time. The
Captain, m conversation with reporter,
stated that he was delighted With his new
abiding place, as it is healthy and a good
region in which to make money. Said he:
Why, it ia 30 healthy downlthere that /
have not seen q funeral since left Wheeling
Fix months ago; and there are some old
NJ xican women down there who Freally
belieVe are TIVE buEdTed years Old, to
make the exsggcrstion only slight. People
live till they Dry up down there"
Few do your Susiness.. prospects lookf'
lob, fine. We have undoubtedly the best
mine IN that country and as soon as we can
place in some additional machinery we will
make money fast. The trouble is we tried
q pew foagled stamping machine which

miles distant there is an immense field OF
coal right on the surface of the earth. But
it is not developed because the railroad
which runs through that section owns mines
and charge outsiders more for t~ransporta'

An A nsdaxit which seems 70 Hsye astrong
Tsint Of ErroF.
Teers seems to be 9 good deal Of malice
and faisehood abroad iu hJing to prove
some venialty or Crookednsss on the part
Of the police force. IS the following VIII
show:
Last evening one Pearl Woods. an inmate
of Ida Holhday's house, on Market street,
north of Tenth, made an affidavit. the orig
inal of which is in the possession ofMayOE
Grub, and of which the following is the
substance:
On the night of September 3D., last, the
house referred to was raided by Captain
smith, and Pearl Woods, IN charge in the
absence of the lardlsdy, paid over to the
Captain the sum OF fbrty,fve dollars, as
follows: Ten dollars for herself, ten dollars
for May james, an inmate of the house, and
twenty five dollars for the lsndlady, Ida Hol-
lidsy. The next morning in Police Court
it was found that q case could not be made
against the Holiday woman, and the charge
of ket ping the house was transferred TO
Peail Woods, who was fined twenty dollars
and costs, making twenty-three dollars and
ten cents. May James as an inmate, was
fined FIVE dollars and costs, making eight
dollars and ten cents. On the Saturday
following, September 9Th, as the affidavit
goes on to say, Chief Smith went to the
Holiday house and handed over five dol
lars and seventy cents change out of forty
FIVE dollars, leaving eight dollars and ten
cents unaccounted for. 1t is probable this
affidavit Is to be presented to Council to-
night ss further evidence of the alleged
crookedness Of the police force.
Chief Smith makes the following explanA-
ton of this discrepancy:
There was q mar in the house thai
evening, and Pearl Woods said she would
put up for the house. She gave me forty
FIVE dollars, which covered all those pres
ent, the two women and the man. The
| next morning Pearl Woods was fined TWEEN
~ dollars and costs ($23. 10y, as the land.
lady, May James was fined five dollars aud
costs, ($8. 10y as an inmate, and the man
present was fined five dollars and costs,
u.s. 10y for lettering in the house. These
three sums make up tbirty-nine dollars and
thirty cents, which, taken from forty'hHe
dollars, leaves FIVE dollars and seventy
cents. As the woman admits receiving
this sum, ! fail to see where the irregularity
alleged in her affidavit comes in"
1t is more than likely that when the
Mayor sees this statement Of the Chief,
dissipating sill the woman's accusations,
The affidavit will not be presented.
