Team Runaway.

William Young's double team was
leftstanding inKienzle's lane yesterday,
when they became frightened and ran
away. They turned into Fayette street
and were rapidly making their way
north when a colored man, with
great deal of pluck, managed to catch
hold of the wagon and climbed in. He
reached for the reins and by dint of
hard work managed to pull the horses
in by the time they reached Rocap's
carriage shop. Owing to their short
run little damage was done.

j. FRANK SHORES DEAD.
He Meets with u FaaaG AccFde nr

He Meets with a FaaaG Accident.
Word was received in this city Fri
day afternoon, that j. Frank Shores,
formerly of this city, ives killed in
Philadelphia.
Investigation proves the matter to be
true.
Mr. Shores with his family have
been living in Philadelphia for some
time, and Wednesday night he went
over to Camden to play from bone
in the Camden City Band. He re-
turned to Philadelphia quite late,
carrying with him his horn and IL usic
rack. 1t was nearly midnight when he
reached the corner OF Eighth and Mar
ket, and there he attempted to board
cable car of the Traction Company.
There were two cars and Mr.. Shores
attempted to get on the rear platform
Of the first car. Having his arms full,
he could not hastily beard the car,
and the conductor impatiently started
the car.
The sudden jerking caused by the
grip catching he cable, hurled Mr.
Shores from the steps, and he fell be-
meath the wheels of the rear car, His
left leg was horribly mangled and
nearly severed near the knee.
The unfortunate man was taken i'm
mediately to the Pennsylvania Hos
pital, where an attempt was made to
dress the limb and save it, but the
shock Was too much for Mr. Shores,
and Thursday night he died at the
hospital The body was brought to
this city this morning, for interment.
Mr.. Shores was collec or for the
Prudential Life Inf urance Company
10 Philadelphia, and also did much
musical work. He is well and favor
ably known, and has large circle of
acquaintance.
He leaves wife and one child.
Mrs. Shores came to this city Friday
night, and is at the home of her
father, William Riley, the mason.

THE LAWS Of FILMS.

Some Wonderful Scientific Facts Regard.
Ing Soap-Bubbles.
There is scarcely any thing in the
world which seems more utterly outside
the realm of law than a soap-bubble
The delicate film, with its exquisite
floating colors, its power of instantly
vanishing, leaving no trace behind,
hardly seems as though it could form .
link in the memorable chain of cause
and effect which we call physical law.
The atmospheric pressure on a bubble
six inches in diameter Is over fifteen
hundred pounds, and yet the fragile
Aim lies safely between the opposing
forces Of nature-the pressure of the
outer air, the spring of the inclosed
cushion within it, the downward pull OF
gravity, the upward push of the buoysnt
atmosphere, and the molecular forces in
the film itself-so long as the bubble
lasts; it is because of an exquisite adj
justment Of all the forces, physical and
molecular, concerned in it's existence.
This is, of course, the merest COM
monplace, and yet it is one of the COM
monplaces of nature, which, however
we'll we may know them. never cease to
be wonderful when they are in any de-
gree realized. There are other laws
governing films which are no less won
| erful, though they are familiarl3
known. A heap Of bubbles blown
while the is pipe dipped under the sur
| face of soapy water looks like Chaotic
huddle of bubbles of all sizes and many
shapes; but, upon careful examination,
| Is is found that never moro than three
| films meet at an unsupported liquid
| edge, and never moro thar four edges
meet at liquid point, and that the
angles are always equal; that is, films
will not meet each other at an unsup-
ported edge or point at an angle smaller
than 100 degrees--one-third of circle.

directly manage the road are apt to be
selected on political considerations rather
than business ones, and therefore they are
not likely to be in the "swim," so to speak
that is to say they are not likely to
know what railroad schemes are on

appears to have happened in the case of a
down east railroad, whose condition of
ownership is similar to that of the Knox &
Lincoln. Therefore, whenever city or

wisdom to sell it. Buyers of railroads are

THE WISCONSIN SCHOOL LAW

Democracy in this country owes much to
the public schools. Free schools and man.
hood suffrage are the poor mans fortresses.
He can be robbed Of neither unless he shall
foolishly yield to the Establishments of his
enemies. BE would amount to little without
them. me rich man can educate himself
and his children as he pleases. His money
gives him power with or without the ballot.
Not so with the man of limited means. The
fathers gave him vote for his defense and
they gave him the free schools for the train
ing of his. children. Both of these institu-
and the day when they shall be surrendered
will be an evil one for the Republic. So far
as the Bennett law Is concerned, its real
enemies are chiefly the enemies of the public
schools. 1t may have many thoughtless op-
p0nents at this time, but they are Temporal
formed as to the nature and scope, and they
will presently see their error. To permit
the Democratic party in any State to be used,
even for one campaign, as an instrument
with which to strike blow of any sort at
our school system would be a folly that
could not be atoned for in years. Let the
Democrats Of Wisconsin ponder well their
decision in this matter. There are some vic
tories that are more costly and more dis
graceful than defeats.
