How much leave Of absence do the chiefs in

better than the clerks and some don't fare 30

is law unto himself. He can 60 away when
ever he chooses and stay as long a. he likes
He has no boss, except the President, and he lis

President dares to order him to stay If he wants to

his cabinet, told them that he did not approve
| Of the heads Of departments sbsenting Them
selves from Washington for long periods, but
this was considered piece Of bad manners and
there is no record Of any President, before or
since, laying down any rule. But the secretary,
nevertheless, does not 60 away much, except on
business. He sticks to his post and 10 as hard

With the chiefs Of bureau 1t il different.
They are not under the law allowing but thirty
days leave, but they generally choose to con-

vacation, il, indeed, they succeed in getting
that much. Az for chiefs Of division, they are
merely upper clerks and are amenable to clerks

A Very Serious AccId ent.

Sunday morning Mr.. Chas. J. Walker and
Street Commissioner Randall were riding
through Danforth st. when they saw a wom-
an lying by the side Of the road. They
thought she was gipsey, but as the car
riage drew near the woman little girl ran
out and asked them to help her mother. 1t
appears the woman was Mrs. Rolfe, who
lives ON Spring st. opposite the borse-car
stables. She and started that morning to 90
to Cash's Corner. and on the way was over
taken by milk wagon. The driver invited
her to ride. She got In. but soon the horse
became frisky and kicked her on the leg,
infiictlng cash four inches long. Then in
his antics he upset the seat, thr, wing b er
into the street, when the team ran over her
and broke the other leg In two places. The
horse ran off with the milkmaD. The gentle
men took her home, and DIR. B. II. Dunn was
called. He considers the woman's condition

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Two Young Ladies Narrowly Es-
cape instant Death.

Yesterday afternoon Miss Latham. the
youngest daughter of Mr.. W. w. Latham
started from her fathers residence on Gun
berland street, to drive the family nv ~. ~
which was attached to a carryap' 49, ~,
the stable where the horse is kep' ono 60
with her smother girl frienu' Na'' -
Alexander. Just after ssart'ns ioni ''o
house the horse, usually very quiet anu
well habaved animal, attempted to run but
,ha ,onng lady pulled him down. While
oo,no nm MYRTLE street the horse started to
nm ! second time, and, seeing she could not
hold him, Miss Latham told Miss Alexander
10 lump. Miss Alexander put her foot on
the step and jumped. She must have caught
her dress for an instant and it then tore
away again, as she swung around two or
three times, then fell, was dragged for an
instant and then jumped to her feet. She
went into Heseltine's drug store, and, al
though her dress was torn and soiled. she
insisted that she was not hut.
The horse, on the dead run, with the car.
riage attached and Miss Latham clinging to
the reins, passed down Market street at a
tremendous pace. At the corner of the
street and Post Office avenue the carriage
struck the stone post with such violence that
1t became wreck. Miss Latham was
thrown headlong on the pavement. 1t was
wonder she was not instantly killed. She
was stunned by the shock and 1t was feared
at first, If she was not killed that she was
seriously hurt. She was taken into G. j..
Walker 81 Co.'s store. DIR. j. d. O'Neil was
close at hand having followed the runaway
In his carriage. He soon ascsrtained that
several teeth had been knocked out and that

AN ADMIRALTY CASE.
Owners Of the Mary Lizzie vs.. Tug
B. w. Morse.

An interesting admiralty case was argued
before Judge Webb, in the District court
yesterday morning. 1t was the master,
owners and crew of the fishing schooner
Mary Lizzie VS.. the tug B. W. Morse. 1t is
claimed that the Morse ran into the fishing
schooner and did various injuries, for which
repairs were made In Portland lasting about
a week, being the first week in June last.
This action is to recover damages for the de-
lay, the loss of the use of the vessel and the
loss of the catch by the crew; also for the
value OF certain additional repairs claimed
to have been left undone.
The hearing yesterday was on the question
Of damages only, the liability being ad-
mitted. The libellants claim $500 as the
earning capacity of the vessel during the
weeks detention. The libelee disputes
this claim as being excessive. Benjamin
Thompson, Esq, of the firm Of Woodman &
Thompson, appeared for the libellants and

KATE LANG AGAIN
Judge Bonney cave Her Solid Dose
In Court Yesterday.

1t will be remembered that last Friday the
liquor cases against Kate Lang were put on
the special docket upon her solemn promise
made through her counsel and orally in open
court, to go out Of the business. With tears
ana protestations she told the Judge she was
at the end of her rope; she was tired of the
whole thing, and she would never again yio-
late the liquor law.
Wnen court opened yesterday morning,
Kate was In the dock. Judge Bonney called
upon Officer Plummer to state the reasons
for bringing her up. The officer said that
sunday evening, between and o'clock, he,
with other deputies, was passing Kates door
ana saw her boy run in to announce their
presence. Plummer followed, and met Kate
az the door, where she dropped two bottles
Oh lager and threw bottle of whiskey into
an ash heap. She then ran into the house TO
an open window. and threw out another bot
Tie OF whiskey, which she drew from some
part of her clothing. In the kitchen were
four or five men in various stages of intoxI-
cation.
well. Kate" said the Judge, "what have
you got to say for YOURSELF"
well. your honor, that stuff wasn't for
sale. The lager was brought there by the
men, and the other stuff was for my own
use."
Il had some misgivings," said the Judge,
when you made your promise last Friday
as to your keeping it, but l didn't think you
would violate it before the term closed. But
you had paid neupon fine and served i'm
DriC0umapf q flor ipnnr ~
traf1ic went on; and 1 thought would try
leniency. You seem to be perfectly ipcorri-
gible. Mr.. Clerk, you may impose these
sentences
Kate was then sentenced oE three search
and seizure indictments TO pay 500 fine on
each and. in addition, to six months in Jail
and If the fine is not paid, to an additional
six months. On two nuisance indictments, to
one year each in Jail. This makes an i'm.
prisonment of two and one half years any
way, and If the fines are not paid then she
must serve three years. There are two more
nuisance indictments upon which she was
not sentenced.
In the afternoon, Martin Lang, one OF
Hates boys, was brought In on nuisance
indictment. He has been begging to be lei
off. He is young fellow, IA or 10 years Of
age. and this is his first appearance in the
criminal court. One of the court officers in
terested himself in his behalf, and found q
place for him out of town where he could
have good home. be comfortably clothed,
Lang was told Of 1t he refused to 20 said he
didn't want to leave Portland. The Judge
reminded him that his father, his mother and
older brother were in jail, and If he was left
about here there would be but one result
made no difference; he wouldn't 20 into the
country. The Judge then sent him to jai
for six months.
