Runaway i'm Broadway.

About o'clock yesterday morning con
 siderable excitement was caused in Broad

 carriage ran through the street at 8 furi-
 ous gait, coming from Whalley avenue
 with lady in the vehicle, who had

 street the wheels swerved against the
 horse car tracks and over went the car
 riage into the mud. The lady was thrown
 violently out. Just at this instant Al

 he got there the wagon righted and the
 horse continued his wild run down the street.
 MT. Leek dexterously caught the bridle and was carried down the street by the horse, which he was unable to stop until
 a student caught the horse and by the combined efforts of the two men the
 horse was stopped near High street. While the young men were struggling
 with the horse, several bystanders rushed to the assistance of the lady who was thrown out. She was picked up uncon- scious and carried into store near York street After recovering consciousness, it was found that she was not injured very much, except being pretty well shaken up.
 The lady was Mrs. Dickerman, the mother-in-law of Dwight w. Baldwin, of c. Pierpont & Co. MT. Baldwin and Mrs. Dickerman were out riding and MT. Bald win left Mrs. Dickerman in the team while he went in a store on Elm street, near the junction of Broadway. In his absence an Italian rag picker came trudging up the street pushing handcart. The pile of
 rag bags in the wagon frightened the horse
 and it reared up in the air and started to run. The instant it did so Mrs. Dicke1-
 man tainted away and knew nothing more
 until she recovered consciousness in the store.
 The top and other parts of the carriage were considerably damaged, but the horse

HER PICTURE DID 1T.
Romantic Wedding the Outcome
of a Prize-Beauty Contest.

RoNDoUT, Y. Y, Dec. ga TO-
mantle marriage was celebrated at Sau-
gerties, on the Hudson, last evening.
the contracting parties being Albert D.
Steenken, of Brooklyn, and Miss Maytie
Adams. The marriage is said to have
been the romantic echo of prze-beauty
contest: When the newspaper which
started the contest published the pic
lures of forty-twO of the most beautiful
women in the contest, Miss Adams, the
bride, was one of the ladies so honOred.
Each picture was designated by the
name OF one of the states of the Union.
1t fell TO the lot of Miss Adams to rep
resent Texas, and the citizens of that
state could not but feel gratified at the
fortunate selection. Miss Adams, now
Mrs. Steenken, is an exceptionally
beautiful lady of twenty-three years.
She is a blonde of the most ravlshing
type, having wavy yellowish brown
hair, clear blue eyes. cameO-like feat
ures, and a graceful and delicateIy
carved figure. Besides these charms
the bride is gifted musician and con-
verSatiOnalist of rare ability.
The groom is twenty-SiX. and will in
herit the greater part Of his fathers for
tune, which runs into the millions. His
father OWNS enormous interests in the
National Lead trust, and has a mOnop-
oily of the sulphur and nitrate of silver
business in this country. The romance
of the wedding comes in, according to
the friends of the couple, who say that
the groom fell in lovei with the brides
picture when it was published. His
business took him to Saugerties very
often, and he there obtained an intro
duction to the lady who became his
bride. The bride Is daughter of Lewis
u. Adams. leading merchant of the
village. The wedding was very quiet,
owing to the recent death of the
gTOOm's mother. Only the immediate
family of the bride and groom were
present. The honeymoon will be spent
in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.

ton was recognized. Some of the doc
tors now suspect that the violent vomit-
ing burst blood vessel in the brain,
and that while the senator was sup
posed to be sleeping quietly for over
hours the hemOrrhage was flooding out
the intellect.
Mr.. L. De f. Jennings, at whose
house Senator Plumb lived for years,
says that Or. Wales administered nor
phine injections TO relieve the pain in
Mr.. Plumb'S head. His forehead was
burning with a feverish heat. He
placed his hand on his brow and it felt
as if fire was raging within. In his
opinion a number of injections were
warranted by the condition of the pa
tent. Mr.. Jennings has studied medi-
cine and knows something about the
treatment of such cases. He states that
he was told by a gentleman who dis
cussed the subject with him, that in
England the physician would have bled
the patient, in such case. behind the
ear, but the American practice approves
the morphine cure. which is applied in
all cases of excessive pain, whether in
the head, the heart or elsewhere.

A MOTT STREET EVENT.
Il Fashionable Wedding in New
York Chinese Society,

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The following
description of Chinese wedding was
written by the well known Chinese con-
tributOr to the press, Wong Chin Foo:
Ung Fung Shung. well-tO-do China
man. of 81 Mott street, is the happy
man and the center of attraction in
Chinese society, as yesterday he took
unto himself a brand new wife. She Is
only wee bit of a girl, said 10 be seven
teen years old by Chinese calculation,
probably little less according to the
European calendar. The bride was a
Miss Chin, and is the daughter or maid
of one Chm Ali Kin, of San Francisco.
a cigarmaker. She was brought here
nearly three weeks ago, it was said, i'm
male attire, and was placed in pretty
apartments of relatives of the groom.
Late Yesterday afternoon she was form
ally married in the Chinese fashion.
The comely little bride was dressed
and primped up like a gorgeous butter
fly in the richest silks the Chinese en-
pire could produce. There were two
other Chinese women with her in her
apartments, while the male guests were
feasting at nearby restaurant with
the old groom. As soon as the third
course was concluded the groom arose
and told his guests to follow him to 10
Mott street, where, upon the third floor
in the rear. were the newly furnished
apartments of the couple. The floor of
the sitting room here was bare, with
straight-back chairs all around the
room. while here and there upon the
nlcely-papered walls were flaming red
Chinese notices and scrolls of oriental
drawings.
After the guests were seated the
I,,-,xl t,I 49, l.. liz.
Chinese maid, slowly entered the room
from an inner chamber with a big red
fan held before her face, only daring to
look at the assembly of males through
the cracks of the handles of the fan. She
stood forOne moment in the center of the
room as if dazed, and an elderly man
quickly stepped up 10 her and told her
to go around the room and 10 bow
to the guests. This she aid very grace
fully and slowly, with the little maid
following in her wake with big tray
containing sweetmeats, which she of
fered to each man. The latter replaced
each piece of candy with silver dollar
wrapped in red paper and sometimes a
s. gold piece. when rich friends and
relatives were present.
The most embarrassing ceremony was
when the groom was pushed forward to
stand with his bride (the latter still held
the fan lightly before her face) and The
two were maid to drink the cup of eter-
nal peace, unity and prosperity, which
was handed them by the best friend of
the family, an elderly man, and then
they were congratulated with Coon
Hi, Fa Toy prosperity, happiness and
long life. The bride retired and the
men went to their feast.

shortly before O'Clock this morning by
an explosion of natural gas. Mr..
Pritchard, wife and three children,

buried in the ruins. The cause of the
explosion was leakage in the cellar.

to get a basket for a customer. which
he had stored away. He struck match

cussion was terrific, pieces of the build

is considered miracle that any of those
in the building at the time should have
escaped with their lives. Mrs. Prit-
chard and the three children, aged four,
seven and nine years respectively, were
in bed on the third floor and were taken
out of the cellar. The loss on building
and contents was $4,000, Oh which there

JOHNSON, NORTH DAKOTf made an error
at the start. President Harri>On'S IN
fluenee will not have much effect in a
senatorial fight in North Dakota, nor
upon any other issue. Congressman
Johnson may succeed in securing few
minor offices for his friends by his efforts
at the White house, but they will Ire of
little avail. This was proved in the
case of Senator Pierce. Who failed when
everything at the White house was
poured into his hands.
Speaking of coinage and other mat
tiers, Mr.. Johnson says:
Il know very little about those sub
jects, but if hard work, good health.
and StudiOus habits will enable me to
master those subjects, | am willing to
pay the price. once heard President
Larson. of Luther college. say it was
not expected of an educated man of our
day that he should carry all learning of
the ages in his head, or have it always
at command on the tip of his tongue,
but 1t was expected that he should know
enough about the use of the tools of
craft to be able 20 go into library and
gather up and produce. on reasonable
notice, the learning of the world up TO
date, on any given subject. fancy the
demands of stateeraft are not much
more exacting."
Mr.. johnson probably means by this
that lie will pull down books from the
congressional library, which will enable
him to master the financial subject
upon which he is called upon TO act.

that no one in the Gibraltar had any

to tell it. the locomotive had crushed
right into the sleeper, and the escaping

absolute silence, and then the most

Gould does not know how he got out of
