A FEARFUL RUNAWAY.

Saturday morning the team of Stratton,
Stanton & Co., of the Flushing Touring
mills, was standing in front of Giffin's
grocery The driver (Mr John Kirk was
out Of the wagon, when, in some way, the
seat fell at the horses heels and started
them. Mr. Kirk succeeded in getting the
near horse by the bit, and was dragged a
half squaTe-mOSt of the distance off
his feet. This animal he got under reas-
enable control, and if some one of the
many men who witnessed his brave strug-
gle with the maddened horses had had the
courage and presence of mind to get hold
of the other horse the sickening accident
that followed would have been averted.
Mr.. Kirk is powerful man, and ia pull
ing at the animal he had hold of, had its
head drawn around to the left, and the
team toward the curb. Opposite Nc
Brides tin and hardware store a wheel
barrow was standing outside the curb.
This was struck by the animal which Mr..
Kirk had hold of, tilted up on end, and
one of the handles driven into the horses
flank about ten inches The wheelbar-
row was carried clear over by the horse,
drawing the handle out of the wound. and
the team plunged ahead until it struck
and was stopped by tree in front of Mr..
o. J. Swaney's residence.
The wounded horse was taken in charge
by DR.. Petrie, the veterinary surgeon, and
as soon as possible removed to Campbell's
livery stable The firm. was notified of
the accident by telegraph, and Mr.. Henry
Stanton at once came down. The wound
is dreadful one, but is being skilfully
treated, and there are hopes the horses
life NAV be saved.

Life Insurance Decision.

The Supreme Court of the United
States, through Justice Fuller, has
rendered an opinion Of unusual inter-
est to holders of life insurance policies.
Thomas L. Hume, of the District of
Columbia, died in 1881 totally in.
solvent, but leaving $4,000 in life
insurance policies. The policies we're
by their terms payable either to the
widow or children of the deceased.
The administrators and creditors of
Hume's estate sought to force applica.
tion of the proceeds of the policies to
the payment of the debts due the
creditors, on the ground that the pre-.
miums paid by Hume were a fraudu
lent transfer of an insolvents estate
and void as against creditors, and that
consequently the proceeds of the poll.
cies should inure to the benefit of
Hume's estate and not to the bene.
hciarles named in the policies. The
Supreme Court holds that the bepe.
ficiaries are entitled to the proceeds
of all the policies without any deduc.
tion whatever on account of premiums
paid, holding that q husband and
father has full right to insure his
life in the interest of his wife and
children. and that where such policies
are effected in the name of beneficiaries
they are no part of the estate of a
deceased insolvent, and therefore, can.
not be regarded as fraudulent assign.
ment of any part of his estate when
so effected.
