Accident 10 the Phmntr.

James @. Patterson, driver for the
Phoenix Fire Company and the company's
two horses narrowly escaped injury
while running to the fire last night week.
He was driving up Claynont street at a
rapid rate, between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth, when he ran into pile of build
ing stones which almost blocked the street
with the exception of single passageway
on one side. No signal was displayed
and neither horses nor driver saw tho OBJ
structious. Both horses fell over the
stones and Driver Patterson was thrown
violently from his seat and alighted on
one Of the horses, escaping with q small
cut on the knee and few bruises. One
of the horses Mike, however, received q
cut in the breast about foot long,
and both horses are badly torn and
bruised about the body and legs. The
engine was uniniured. The Delaware
truck which followed closely was only
prevented by timely warning from
dashiug on to the previous wreck The
horses are doing well this morning, but
the company will be out of service for
SOME time on account of the accident.
They will bring suit for damages
against Archibald s. Reed, the contractor
who is building The house. The failure
to put signal lights on distractions in the
street almost caused the Friendship
engine to run into lot of curbing on
Tenth street above Spruce, while respond
ing to the same alarm

living nj Mo- t02T West Second street,
ana employed at Ryan & Ford's morocco
factory at Silyertro0lS, died shortly after
midnight Thursday morning of malignant
pustulss, the poison of which was con-
tracted by working the skins Of some
animals which died Of murrain or some
other infections disease.
He absorbed the poison last Saturday,
probably through an abrasian of the skin,
rs it il not absorbed through sound
skin. On Sunday morning his breast be-
gan TO swell, and on Monday morning he
went to the shop but had to return home.
DR.. Hughes was called, but too late as
the poison Ind takeu fatal hold, and
finally paralyzed the heart, which caused
death. He was G2 years old and has been
working at the morocco business for 30
years.
Cases of this character are very scarce
and few have occurred in this city. Last
year man employed at Charles Mullins
morocco factory succumbed to o similar
affection.

GARD FROM MR.. LAYFIELp.
Editor Eue,y Eoening: Reading brief
comment ofmy speech In your report of the
temperance meeting at Armstrong's Corner,
allow me to say that almost every word In

frt m myself.I am madeto say:"There Is not
the least principle In the Democratic party
platform: that Democrats ran after the man
Biggs and ignored principle entirely ."Allow
me to say the above statements are abso-
lutely false. Nor did l say anything that
could be SO construed. l did not mention
the name of Benjamin t. Biggs in my ad-
dress. Pm not a politician nor do deal
either In slang or scandal. ask OF you please
correct the statement, as l appeal TO my
audience, as to the truth OF my statement.
