scene of great excitement this evening, shortly
before dark span of powerful horses,
hitched to an open carriage contain
ing two gentlemen, became unmanageable and
tore down the crowded drive at a frghtfu rate of
speed. Three or four other teams took fright
and joined the runaways, several carriages being
overturned, and, with their occupants,
scattered over the drive. The con-
tagion spread to nearly every animal within
the distance Of mile, and before the frantic
beasts were caught and quieted half dozen
equipages had been demolished. and some twenty
or thirty persons injured Several received

son Jessup, cook at the Meredith House in this

girl, who, last evening, came to the place and
was followed by the marshal on suspicion that
she was going off to meet her lover. He, with
Marshal McCrsken, of this city, spotted her and

Threatened Boycott in Chicago.

CHICAGO Oct 3.-The retail clerks of the city,
who have for some time been agitatirg an early
closing movement, held large meeting to- day,
the effect of which is likely to be serious boy
colt. 1t was stated at the meeting that
petitions to employers in the interest of
the movement had resulted in little short
of failure Those retail merchants who had &C
coded TO the request of their employees ha d
mostly gone back to the old system of keeping
open late at night, while others were combating
the movement in other ways After earnest
discussion. a committee of fifteen was appointed
and instructed to wait on the different trade and
labor assemblies. and ask them to refuse to
patronize any merchant who kept his store open

A Peculiar Condition of Affairs.

Richmond IVa.) Special.
For many months the paper and printing
house of Baughman Bros. have been boycotted
by the typographical union and the Knights of
Labor. This has brought about bitter state
of feeling, especially as the merchants and 9TH
ers have organized branch of the Law and
Order League, with membership of over 2000
and it is aggressively backing Baughman and
fighting this boycott. The entire typographical
union has been indicted by the Hastings Court
grand jury for conspiracy and the indications are
that the trial will take place during the time the
Assembly is holding its session. The prosecu
zion have two Of the ablest lawyers at the bar,
and the union is also strongly represented. The
point is made by the prosecution that
one who is Knight of Labor should be allowed
TO act on the jury, as he is, they contend an in
terested party. If these men are convicted and
Imprisoned, as their opponents declare they will
be, the three daily papers here would have to
suspend for want of printers. OF course, all this
causes bitterness All attempts at arbitration
between Brughman Bros and the printers have
proved dismal failures. The question of Knights
of Labor running for political Office is also likely
to be influenced by local surroundings W. III.
Mullen, district master workman here, is run
ming for Congress as the labor candidate. George
d. Wise, the Democratic nominee. is his op-
ponent, and to day the Republican convention,
after a sharp fight, decided not to indorse Null
len, and they nominated Edmund Waddell. late
United States district attorney. When Mullen
was nominated the majority of the Democratic
Knights bolted from the convention and an
nounced their intention of supporting the Demo
cratic nominee, on the ground that the funda-
mental principles of the order forbade it's going
into politics. Therefore the Assembly will be in
session in the midst of sharp political contest
as we'll as a legal war on boycotters. Such mem
bers as come seem to be disappointed at the
comparatively meager representation from the
West. They think the long strikes there have
had dispirting effect upon members aud weak
ems the order in that section.

along two weeks the locally sensational suit for
the possession of the minor children of the late
