MAN AND HORSE IMPALED.
A frightful accident occurred at the
residence of Mr.. George B. Zimpelman
whereby his second son, Lee, aged
twenty-five years, met with injuries that
it is feared will prove fe al. Mr.. Z.mple-
man owned q very fine and valuable
mare which had been running loose in
the yard. Toward dusk she attempted to
leap picket fence around the front Of
the premises, but in doing SO she became
impaled on the sharp points Of the fence,
sustaining injuries which proved fatal in
q few moments. Mr.. Zimpleman and 8
companion witnessed the accident and
fastened to the assistance of the I'M
fortunate animal. While endeavoring to
extricate her Mr., Zlmpleman in
some manner lost his hold
and falling forward struck on the arrow
pointed ends Of the railing. Assistance
was promptly summoned, and the Young
man WAS relieved from his perilous pre-
dicament. Medical attention was quickly
called and an Investigation OF his injuries
made, when 1t was discovered that they
were both serious and dangerous, The
shsrp pointed palings had penetrated his
side for q considerable depth, producing q
painful and ugly wound which, while of
the most dangerous nature, 1t Is hoped
will not prove fatal in its results.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-There is no
blinking the cod fact that the Republi-
cans are much more hopeful OF success in
the coming presidential campaign than
they were prior to the Presidents tariff
message. Some Of them are ssnguine Of
success. These hopes are based mainly
upon the fsct that the so called leaders Of
the Democratic phalanx in New Jersey
and Connecticut are not in sympathy with
the administrators tariff policy, and
upon the dissnection in New York. The
Republicans hope to utilize the pro-
tective tariff feeling among the laborIng
element Of those statee, while they an
tieipate luke-warm work from the
Democratic leaders in New Jersey
and Connecticut, and the dis
appointed Democrats in New York. OF
