A Mad II unaWay.

Last night about $50 horse standing
opposite the Olympic on Seventh street be-
came frightened and ran away, flying down
Jackson street. up Third to Cedar down
Cedar to Fourth, where. in turning the cor
ner, he freed himself from the wagon, drag
ging the thills with him. With these rem
nants of the wreck on him he flew up
Fourth street to Wabasha, and turning
down Wabasha flew away towards the
bridge. just as he reached Wa
basha street crossing. on Third
street one Of the shafts struck
Mrs. Lathrop in the shoulder, knocking her
senSeless. She was taken into Lambe &
Bethune's drug store. where DR.. Cottrell
was called, and it was found that the collar
bone was broken. After somewhat recov-
ering from the shock the lady was removed
to her residence on Livingston avenue, West
st. Paul. Her injuries, though very pain
full. are not considered dangerous. The
horse was captured on Dakota avenue by
Officer Leyde. 1t belonged to James King,
corner Of Fourth and Minnesota streets.

EO WAS SHE!
A Beautiful Girl Claims to Have
Been DrugEed and Ruined.

80, what will my parents say? Take
me home! O, take me home! No, no! Pm
drunk and it would kill my mother to see
me So" The words, uttered by sobbing
girl, attracted the attention Of several cti-
zens few evenings ago near the Seventh
street crossing of the Milwaukee Short line.
The woman was apparently about Is years
old, neatly attired and possessed beautiful
face. Her wailings and pitiful lamenta
tons soon drew crowd around her and she
told a story of which the following is the
substance. She claimed that she attends
the high school and lives on Fifteenth
street. While on her way home
from school she met young
man with whom she was acquainted driving
down the street in a cutter. He invited
her to ride and she accepted his invitation.
He drove out the Fort road, and stopping
opposite saloon, the young man went in
and brought her out glass of wine, which
she drank. She remembered nothing more
until she found herself wandering aimlessly
about in the vicinity Of the Omaha shops,
and realized that she had been ruined. She
Stubbornly refused to reveal her own or
the name of the author of her disgrace. A
young man by the name of Bolina, har-
ness maker, brought the girl into the city
and left her, at her request, near the corner
of Third and Franklin streets. since when
nothing more has been heard of her, and
who she was is still mystery.

A ROLLER MILL FALLS.
John Foster Probably Fatally In
iIprgd.

Yesterday afternoon one side of Morgan
Williams & Co.'s roller mill, in course of
construction near the Rice street cross
ing of the Northern Pacific railroad. fell
in letting down the roof, one side crushing
through to the foundation. Just before
the falling of the wall workmen were busy
hosting in heavy piece Of iron to be used
as ballast in some portion of
the building. When the roof
come down a rafter struck mason by the
name of John Foster ON the back of the
head. driving him forward and dashing his
head against heavy iron bolt in beam.
The bolt crushed through the frontal bone
and it was impossible to move the man be-
fore the timbers had been cut away. He
was still alive when taken out and was re-
moved to a neighboring house,
where Coroner Quinn and DR.. Muir
ply attended him. They say his
injuries will undoubtedly prove fatal. He
resided at No. $40 Fourth street south. Min
neapolis, where he has family. The mill,
which was of ordinary proportions, was
nearly completed. and the accident was due
to heavy body of snow that had gathered
ON the roof, the weight crushing it in, The
damage to the building is about $4,000.

HARD, BUT TRUE.
An Alleged Anecdote of Horace
Greeley and Stanley Huntley.

Greeley and Stanley Huntley.
New York Graphic.
The late Stanley Huntley, once re-
meeting of the Farmers club, whose men,
beers got into a quarrel over new kind of
potato, and the reporter tit was his first
journalistic effort gave very funny ac-
count of it, which, not finding the city
editor in when he went down to the office,
he sent up stairs in the regular way. The
next day the article appeared on the first
page of the Tribune, and young Huntley
thought he had ''struck it rich" in his new
situation. and promptly looked forward
to being made managing editor OF the
journal.
When he arrived at the Office and entered
the city room he noticed a smile spread over
the other reporters faces, but, attributing
it to jealousy, he calmly seated himself at
his desk. In few minutes, Mr.. Mooret
the city editor, called him and said tina
Mr.. Or eeley wanted to see him. Swelling
with pride. and casting look of triumph
around the room, the young reporter
walked out Of the Office into Mr.. Greeley's
Office. The door was closed. He raped
gently.
Come in," responded shrill falsetto
voice.
Mr. Huntley did so. Mr.. Greeley was
seated at his desk writing. He waited
patiently until he finished. Then the old
gentleman wheeled around in his chair and
said:
''Well, sir, what can do for you?"
''You sent for me, sir"
''For yOu?" What is your name?"
STANLEY Huntley."
so! So you are the blamed fool who
wrote up that Farmers club?"
The hopes of the future humorist expert
enced sudden decline. He would now be
satisfied with the city editorship
Why did you do it?"
''They acted disgracefully, SIR"
Eyes, l know it; but what did you do
with your copy?"
u showed it in hole in the wall and
whistled twice"
Young man. how long have you been on
the press?"
''Twenty-four hours, sir"
''Well SIR" said the editor. ''you didn't
know, of course, what the rules of our
office are, but you oughtnt to have written
that report, indeed you oughtnt to. OF
course. they are pack of fools They al
ways have been; but you shouldn't have
said SO in the Tribune. Young man I'm
the president of that club"

A Trick Tried on Frequenters of
Fashionable Restaurants.
Correspondence Boston Herald.
Rear Admiral S. B. Luce of the United
States navy, and Gen. P. r. DeTrobriand,
of the United States army, were dining to-
gether one evening in Broadway restau-
rant. when, after they were through with
eating and drinking, the general asked for
the check and the waiter brought it. The
amount was 1885. A SIS bill was handed
! to him, and presently he returned with
check and change on plate. A dollar note,
a dime and five cents lay atop of the slip of
paper, under which was concealed half
dollar. The general $0K up the note, left
| the Is cents as tip for the waiter and got
up to depart with his friend.
''Stopv Numbered the admiral to the
waiter. ''Set down that platter"
Eyes, saire," responded the Frenchman,
obeying with greater reluctance than he
spoke.
''Now, general, look at this and learn a
lesson" the admiral continued. The
change out of the S. ought to have amounted
to S1.65. You got only 81, and gave Is
cents to this rascal. You never thought of
the missing half-dollar. Where do you
suppose it is? l will show YOU" and he
drew the check off the plate. disclosing the
coin lying snugly underneath. ''Our grim
acing thief here would have had it safe in
his pocket by this time if left to complete
the operation"
81 assure you, sir, Eat nefer know
the fellow began.
''Shut up!' commanded the admiral, in
the tone of sea captain shouting an order
to sailor away up the mast. Now OBJ
serve general, that, if you had stopped to
count your change and discovered that il
| was short, he would have picked up the
plate. deity drawn aside the check and
shown you that the right amount was
| there"
The naval man had simply exposed a
trick that is being practiced by many walters
with considerable success.

The Child Preacher.
Gainesville (Ga.) American.

Quite a party of gentlemen were sitting
around the stove in Bib & Elrod's store,
when little boy about years old entered.
He was Quiet-looking little fellow, and
there was peculiar expression Oh his face.
Cant you preach for US, Claude?" asked
one of the party. 1t seemed that he was
used to that, and without any hesitation he
placed chair for a pulpit, took two little
books that were handed him and pulled off
his hat for business. Before saying word
he knelt by his chair in secret PRAYER for a
moment. He then arose. and, after looking
carefully through one of the little books he
announced the number Of his hymn. gave it
out in language that was lisping and hard
to understand. and then sang it through all
alone. He then knelt again by his chair
and prayed-this time aloud-but in words
that no one could understand.
He took text from one of his books and
for eight or ten minutes he preached with
much earnestness and spirit. The little au-
dience was profoundly quiet, and not a
smile fitted over any face. To me it was
peculiarly solemn scene. There was a
strange light in the little fellows eyes and
a peculiar glow on his face as he preached.
He was scarcely as high as the chair behind
which he stood, and yet he was composed
and easy in his manners. l sat there watch
ing him and wondering what mysterious
power was moving him. His child voice
rang out in way that stilled the crowd of
loafers into solemn and almost painful
silence.
We could not catch the meaning of his
baby words that were so broken and lisp
ing. but we could see the fash of his black
eyes and feel the power of his presence.
When his sermon was done he sang song,
took up collection (receipts Is cents, an
nounced service for the evening and went
out rs quietly as he came. l learned that
the scene was no uncommon one, and that
sometimes he moved his audience to tears.

The inspector estimates that at least
$3.50 900 has been invested in buildings,
mostly small dwellings, for which no per-
mits have been issued. Again, there are
many important buildings completed this
year for which permits were issued last
year, and which are not included in the
above table. Some, too, the court house,
for instance, have been begun but
not completed, and for which no
permits have been issued. In these cases
the actual amount expended during the year
is given. For December the permits issued
will foot up $50 or a few over, and the cost
at S125, 900. Reference to the table above
will show that this is not extravaganza.

The general working of the pumping en-
gines was satisfactory. The cords taken
from both engines were excellent. All the
parts moved smoothly and well and the
whole machinery shows careful workman
ship and correct adjustments.
INSTRUCTIVE POINTS.
The board passed resolution to pay
S12,00 and the city's portion of the ex-
pense of testing, and the company will
make another test in the spring at their
own expense under more favorable circum-
stances. The contract price of the engine
was $2S, 900 and on its delivery $14, 900 was
paid. There is now So, 900 due, which the
board will pay when it is proven by fair
test that the pumps will do the full duty
that they are advertised to do.
