A Stra,gh,away Dash.

Something displeased a small bay horse
belonging to Smardon, the Portland street
baker, yesterday afternoon and the animal
proceeded to vacate the place in lively
manner. He was standing In front of the
bakeshop when the desire to run struck
him. He took the sidewalk to a point just
beyond Green street where something struck
the sleigh and careened 1t over. slueing the
horse so that he turned into the street.
From there to the foot Of Mellen street 1t
was straight away dash. the horse going
on the dead run, the sleigh upside down,
sidewise, or on its runners, according to cir
cumstances. Major Buck, the hackman, was
jogging along just ahead Of the runaway,
and mindful of the rule Of the road, left the
overhauling team to do the turning out The
horse also mindful Of the rule attempted to
turn. and succeeded but the success was
brief. The swing of the sleigh destroyed
the animals poise and after running on two
legs for second or two he went down in a
heap, Major Buck drove alongside and
held hIm down until Mr.. Harry Smardon
and several others arrived and unharuessed
him. IL will be some time before the horse
RECEIVERS his wind, but otherwise he was un-
injured One corner Of the sleigh was some :
what bent.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., January 2O.-Tbe an
nual session OF the legislature opened n.
day. The governor In his annual messaoa
recommends that the ballot reform law he
extended to town elections and that the reg.
istration law be amended so that the name
of citizen once registered in town or citv
as a qualified voter should be retained upon
the list until removed for cause He also
recommends the expansion of the state
school system. Amendments to the LIQUOR
law should be in the direction of more re-
strictng and higher license for the sale of
spirits, less restriction and lower license for
the sale of native wines, cider and beer of
low percentage of alcoholic strength. He
earnestly recommends the proposal TO the
people of the constitutional amendments for
biennial elections of state officers and mem.
bers of the general assembly with annual
sessions of the general assembly at Newport
for election purposes only, and adjourned
sessions In Providence for legislation. He
asks for more distinct separation of the ex-
ecutive and legislative authority and more
equitable representation of people in the pop
ular branch of the general assembly.

The other End of Camden Holds a
Meeting ABOUT II.

CAMDEN, January 20.-The northeastern
people in Camden village held meeting last
evening and adopted the following resolution /:
Whereas. the people OF .RockPort and West
Camden at meeting held at Rockport on the
18th uoted TO oppose the division OF the town and
instead to ask the legislature to incorporate
Cauden, Roc port, West Camden and Rockville
a city form Of government.
Whereas. that vote is an Acknowledgement that
the town now run Is not for the interest OF the
several localities.
whereas, the town of Camden In which said
localities are stu ted Is so large in area and the
distinct business affairs and social life of the
several locelties so rem,fe from each other.
Whereas, these conditions have caused an-
tagonisms and jealouses to arise thereby causing
dtsset sIons in the government OF the town Ot
Camden, rendering IT'S affairs expensive, ac-
cumulating large oe5t, depriylng it Of raliroad
advantages and many other needed improve
ments especially at Camden vi lage.
Whereas, city government Will not remedy
these things therefore,
Resolved, That we are utterly opposed to
the city form of government IN Camden and l.
here TO our petition now before the Legislature
TO set Camden village and vicinity of Into a
separate town.
