ing down Franklin street opposite Mon
roe Park Yesterday. The cart knocked
things right and left, as it was jerked
along, and the right of way was readily
accorded it, wherever practicable.

Dr. Goodwin and Mr. II. l.. Staples were
seated was encountered. Every effort
on the part of Mr.. Staples was made to

there Is to-day about $4,000 worth OF
