they ran down the cut, the wagon bounding
from one side Of the track TO the other. Frog
after frog was passed without catching hoofs or
"heels, and still the runaways kept on their
way until the was reached at I'd street. The
tram was still coming on, and the now thor
oughly frightened horses were fortunate
enough to take the right-hand track. keeping
on around the north side Of the Y TO the Metro

the tracks and were soon stopped by a colored
man.
In all this rough run Of ten squares. four of
which were on the railroad tracks. the only
damage done YVES slight cut on one of the
horses in a stumble and the breaking of about
90 cents worth of harness. The wagon was I'M
injured even in the slightest degree.

ANOTHER CONVERT.
Gov. Green Of New Jersey Thinks tho

The New Jersey legislature convened yester-
day and received Governor Green's annual
message. Under the caption Of Election
reform" the governor said:
Each party is pledged in its platform 20
some measure Of ballot reform. Let il not fail
in a struggle for party advantage or in an effort
TO secure the adoption of some cherished system.
The end 10 be sought is legislation which will
secure the ascertainment Of those legally en-
titled to vote, the prevention OF colonization
and the improvisation Of the voters the selec-
ton Of competent, honest election officers, the
prevention Of intimidation and the corrupt use
of money, and the absolute certainty that the
ballots OF the voters only are deposited in the
box and are honestly counted and returned
All seem agreed on the plan that the voter
while preparing his ballot should be provided
with the means OF doing the same alone aud the
prevention of solicitation within a certain dis
lance of the polls. / had faith IN the use u the
official ballot rs a corrective of corrupt politics.

citizen OF this state TO vote for whoever he

lists up 70 the moment Of casting his vote, and it
should not be restricted by provisions which

A CHICAGO CONTROVERSY.
illinois Congressman Who Wanted Ans
other Man Nominated.

There was angry sadness in the Illinois con.
gressional camp last night. The sadness o
almost entirely dissipated just now, but the an
ger becomes more marked as this somewhat
moist day travels toward its conclusion. This
disposition TO rend something, as it were, 10
confined to the republicans, and the object at
whom their shafts are directed is no less per-
sonage than the President Of the United
States. From the day when Mr.. Har-
rison was inaugurated Chicago republicans
have been busily engaged in endeavoring TO
cause the retirement Of the federal officials who
had been appointed by President Cleveland
Yesterday afternoon the Senate received the
nominations of Chris. Manner 10 be collector OF
internal revenue for the first Illinois district,
and John NJ. Clark, collector Of customs for the
district of Chicago. The first OF these was
uniformly satisfactory, but the latter one has
raised howl. Both Senators Cullom and Far
well, ten Illinois Representatives, the state
officials and a number of other prominent or
influential men had come to the conclusion that
Mr. Campbell was the best man for the place,
and failing him Mr.. VIM. Penn Nixon Of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. In the earlier stages of the
fight there was a good deal of consulta-
ton at the White House and then there

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
The people over here in Alexandria county
look with longing eye at the great improve
ments going on in your city, and many of them
audibly wish that this county occupied the
same position it did prior to 1s4s, to wit, a
portion of the great District of Columbia.
However, we look for such improvements as
the Mt. Vernon avenue, the construction of the
memorial bridge across the Potomac from New
York avenue TO the Arlington estate and the
conversion of the unused portion Of the Ar
lington farm (about 200 acres) into a grand
United States experimental garden farm.
