SERIOUS COLLISION.
Disastrous Result Of Some Very
Fast Driving.

The recklessness Of drivers who take ad-
vantage Of the fine driveway along Golden

evening. At $50 O'Clock Policeman Joseph

at the intersection Of Van Ness
avenue The horse was down, and the oc-
Cupant, a man, was running away as fast as
his feet could carry him. After attending
TO the wounded man and seeing to his COM
fort IN neighbOrlng pharmacy he returned
to look after the fallen horse on Van Ness
avenue, but found il had been disposed Of

Cincinnati ENQUIRER
The gossips around the St. Nicholas
Hotel, Cincinnati, are enjoying themselves
talking about a scene in the dining-roOm Of
that famous hosiery which took place a
few afternoons ago. The principals in the
scene were a young man, young lady and
an injured father. The lady in question is
one of the fairest young women in Clifton

HE LED THE CHARGE.
His Horse Ran Away In the Battle n
Brandy Station.

Brandy Station.
What | relate are facts which actually
befel me. Tie greatest cavalry battle ever
fought on tie American continent took
place at Brandy Station on the 9th of June,
1868. At early dawn the Federal advance
guard crossed the RappahannOck and
charged our Outposts with such ygOr that
they entered our camp at their heels. Most
of my regiment Sikh Virginia. had turned
their horses out the evening before, so that
not more than fifty of us were prepared to
mount. Our reveille was the crack Of the
pistol and carbine of the foe. These fifty
men were quickly mounted, formed and or
dered to charge. Not a moment was to be
lost, as some of the enemy's advance were
in our artillery camp.
| was the un fortunate pOsSessOr OF III I'M
tanned Bucephalus that no rider on earth
could control. l had experienced this on
three former occasions. But what c0ulu L
do, charge or not charge? that was the
question. Although | knew full well that
my wild charger would lead The van, OF
course | must charge. In our front was
heavily wooded forest Of pine scrub and
black jack, through which ran a narrow
country road. No time was to be lost;
therefore there was to be little ceremony.
The usual communication, march, gallOp,
charge-Were omitted, and the gallant Shu-

winding road through that dark forest, all

there was no one in sight. We had left the

my path double line of Federal cavalry.
1t may be, thought they will see my pre-

that they will not fire; but how could they
know that my horse was running away?
They must have thought the devil was

Down on the pier Of the Savannah Steam

talking about man who was bQw-legged

TURKISH CONSPIRATORs.
Futile Efforts to Restore Ex-SuItan
Mourad to the Throne.
Now York Trhune


Mourad to the Throne.
New York Tribune.
Gable dispatches sent at the end Of last
week from the other side of the Atlantic
told of conspiracy that has been discOv-
cred in the Sultan's palace. But, while one
Of these dispatches referred to the Sultan
at COnstantinOple and mentioned the arrest
of 800 persons, the other referred to the
Sultan of Morocco ard reported that only
thirty men had been imprisoned. The fact
is that the story relates to Stamb oul, and
the particulars of it were published by the
latest European papers at hand, having
leaked out in spite of tine efforts Of the
Turkish Government to keep the whole
affair secret.
The military conspiracy was Intended to
restore ex-Sultan MOurad to the throne, and
December 4, 1891 was decided upon as the
day IF action. MOJffad is the elder brother
of the present Sultan, and the eldest son of
the late Abdul AziZ He was overthrown bv
palace caba devoted 10 his brother, after
a certificate had been obtained from n
Vienna doctor declaring him insane That
alleged infrmity made MOurad, according
TO Moslem law, incapable of reigning any
longer, and his brother, Abdul Hamid was
proclaimed Sultan in his stead. ALourad,
imprisoned in a palace belonging 10 the
state and kept in seclusiOn by order of his
u, / %,
cut off from all relations with the outside
world. Still, a few devoted friends sue
ceeded, at the peril of their lives. in seeing
him and making themselves absolutely GER
tain that he was in perfect health, both
mentally and physically. MOurad had
many paTtisans among the MusSulmans
who depored the influence welded In
Turkey by the Triple Alliance, as we'll as the
acknowledgement of the cOuntry's finances.
But il is especially to the military class
that MOurad's name was endearcd. The
Ottoman soldiers and reserves, or redifs
represent really the heart of the nation /;
and, as the Turkish prOyerb says, III the
head is rotten the heart is sound" These
men are paid less regularly now than they
ever before have been paid, and 1t was even
stated last December that their pay was six
months in arrears. An active propaganda
in favor Of MOuTad's restoration was made
among the soldiers. A demonstration was
about TO be made at Malta Kiosk TO deliver
him from prison, when a high parsonage
who had joined the conspiracy turned IN
former. The leaders in the plot were ar
rested and were thrown into the subterra-
mean cells Of YildiZ. Since that time
court-maTtal, presided over by Mahmoud
Pasha, the Sultan's sOn-in-law, and attend
ed by the Arab sheik, Abdul Huda, has
been sitting in NildiZ palace and is inVesti-
eating the whole affair with the greatest
secrecy. 1t was Tumured at PeTa, the
European suburb Of StambOul, that thirty
officers mad been sentenced 10 death, and
that about 100 soldiers were TO be transport
ed 10 the FeLZan district, In the province Of
IrlpOli. Such transportation amounts to a
sentence Of death on account of the terrible
heat in that pestiferOus region.
