GEORGETOWN.
AN EXCITING RUNAWAY,

About o'clock yesterday afternoon runa-
way accident took place that came near being
fatal to the driver. While VIM. H. Houghton' s
large furniture wagon drawn by two horses was
coming down SOth street the reins broke and
the frightened horses bolted. The driver
pluckily crawled ont on the long center pole
and at great danger to himself endeavored to
recover the shortened ends. Turning the cor
ner the horses started down NJ street at fu-
rious rate and when in front OF 1925 NJ street
they ran up on the pavement Standing beside
the curb Is young tree about twelve inches in
circumference. and the bystanders shuddered as
they saw the mad beasts making straight toward
it with their brave driver still grasping on the
tongue for the reins II that tongue had
missed the trunk center by an inch the driver
would certainly have been mashed against it. but
strange as it may seem the iron-capped
pole, with wonderful accuracy. penetrated the
tree and remained there. thus saving the driver
from frightful death. After he had Jumped
to the pavement the horses broke loose and ran
still farther but were captured near the Rock
Creek bridge.

Charged With Holding Up Miss Dabnsy and
Mr. barrett In the Soldiers Home.
Detective Mahon, who has been conducting
quiet investigation of the mysterious affail
that happened In the Soldiers Home groundi
about two weeks ago, Is published in The SrAE
at the. time, last evening arrested q man who
was afterwsrd identified as the guilty party.
The man is named Peter Conner, and since
the construction Of the lexington electric road
to the Catholic University he has been keeping
pie and soda water stand near the terminui
Of the road.
As published in TIE STAB at the time, Mis-.
May Dabney was out riding with Mr.. Darret,
Of Richmond, and while driving through the
grounds soon after shutdown man called tc
bly, to brighten them. The horse was badly
frightened and ran away, upsetting the buggy
and dragging Mr.. barrett some distance.
Miss Dabney was held prisoner by the bold
highwayman, who frightened MIR. barrett of
with his pistol.
After giving the robber s1o the young lady
was shown the way to the cars and she came
into the city. Mr.. barrett came into the city
on horseback and reported the affair to the
police.
The following day the lady went with De-
tectives Horne and Mahon to Soldiers Home,
did not identify any of them.
As the Investigation continued the detective
mentioned had reason to suspect the keeper OF
the pie stand, and when Miss Dabney ap-
preached the stand one afternoon with the
officer she pointed to Conner and said, Hes the
man." Conner was not arrested at that time,
but the officer continued his investigation until
last evening, when he was placed under arrest
and taken to police headquarters, where he was
seated in a room with seven other men and
Miss Dabney was sent for.
She stepped to the door and picked Conner
out of the group rs the man who had assaulted
and compelled her to give up $40.
Mr.. barrett saw the man some days ago and
he also identified him.
The prisoner il held at the first precinct
station until the matter can be further investi-
gated. and he will also be looked over by q
gentleman who was held up in the same To-
cality week or SO before the assault on Mr.
barrett and Miss Dabney.
Conner denies the charge.
This morning the prisoner was taken to the
Police Court, where he was charged with high
way robbery.
Gen. Darlington appeared as his counsel and
asked that bail be fixed at $500, but Judge
Miller fixed 1t at twice that amount.

CENsURING A STOCK EXCHANGE.
Lord Chief Justice Coleridges Declaratis
I'm = Trial Over . Bond.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge's Declaration
in = Trial Over = Bond.
A case which is now before the courts in Lon
don raises an important point in regard to
stock exchange rules 1t is as to whether q
stock broker can insist that 4 client shall &C
cept delivery Of bond which is known to the
broker as being a stopped" bond. The
plaintiffs in this case are Ruffer Sons, bank
ers, who purchased q Spanish bond from firm
Of brokers, Lebag Montefore. The bankers
afterward discovered that the bond had been
stolen and stopped. The defendants contend that
the plaintiffs are bound. to accept delivery Of
the bond under stock exchange rules.
Several brokers, including the chairman Of
the stock exchange, testified that the rules of
the stock exchange permitted such a transac-
ton. The lord chief justice, Lord Coleridge,
thereupon declared that the dealings of the
stock exchange appeared to be devoid of the
principles of common business honesty. The
trial resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs.

Trouble With Nayaios Endad

A Flagstaff, Ariz., dispatch received las,
night says: Trouble with the Navajos is at an
end. The Indian chief arrested has had his
examination, and as there was not sufficient
evidence to hold him on a charge Of horse
stealing he has been discharged and has re.
turned to the reservation. At no time during
the excitement of the past week has there been
any fear of collision between the whites and
Navajos and no trouble is apprehended
