WASHINGTON, April 5.--[Special.l +
Mrs. Marie Wright, well known cor
respondent of this city, was saved from
violent death or grave injury by Pres
ident Cleveland's heroism. While out
riding near Oak View, the Presidents
country place, yesterday morning, her
horse became unmanageable. Taking
the bit in his teeth he dashed up the
road towards "Red Top making every
effort to unseat his rider. Mrs
Wright's strength was fast deserting
her, and a serious accident seemed i'm
minent, when from a little lane leading
into the woods were seen President
and Secretary Fairchild on horseback
Taking in the situation at glance, the
Chief Executive put the spurs to his
horse, and like a knight Of old, gallOp-
ed to the rescue of the woman. With
short and perilOus step he drew
up in front of the now frantic beast
upon which Mrs. Wright was strug'
Cling. This action seemed to madden
! the horse, and he pitched and reared
alarmingly. Dismounting with nur'
ried caution for the lady to keep cool
the President grasped the horse by the
name and bride and desperate
encounter ensued, which left succession
to the first officer in the land, for 8
moment, in great doubt. Cleveland's
pluck prevailed, however, and by de
grees the man acquired mastery. BY
this time Secretary Fairchild and Mrs
Gilmore had come up from the Oppo
site directions, the former having dis
mounted to aid his chief, as Mrs. Wright
was evidently worn out. The President
surrendered the bride to the Secretary
and assisted the exhausted lady tC
alight. With great fortitude she re
fused from exerting her womanly pre-
rOgative of fainting though the temp
tation was great, as she laughinglJ
asserted last night.
