BERLIN. May 24.-The Ddnrioer Zeituno says
Emperor William narrowly escaped being
killed In runaway between Schlobitten and
Proekelwitz. The Emperor was driving with
Count Donna, whose guest he is. One Of
the four fiery black horses drawing the
carriage became frightened. and bolted.
The other horses became unmanageahle.
aud they all started down the highway
at terrific race. The Emperor. on ac-
count OF the helplessness OF one arm. was un-
able to pull them In and Count Dohna Rrasped
the reins too late to check their flight. One of
the horses fell while the carriage was being
whrled along the edge OF a low embankment
and the shock threw the Emperor from the
drivers seat into tho ditch. Count Donna
hung on. The coachman ouleted the horses
while the Count ran to the assistance Of the
Emperor.
The latter had already picked himself UP and
was examining his right leg. which at first he
thought had been severely strained but which
was found to be only bruised. The Emperor's
coat was slightly rent and he was covered with
dirt.
He refused all assistance. brushed himself
of. and climbed up the. bank to help prepare
the establishme emit to start on its way again.
The first knowledge tho public received con-
corning the accident was when the outrider
appeared in Christburg far in advance OF the
carriage and requested the crowd not
to cheer nor wave their hats when the
Emperor appeared. He gave no expla-
nation OF the request. but when the
carriage appeared the reason was evident
for the harness was patched where It had
been broken and the pole was split. Tho En-
peror had resigned his place on the drivers
box and sat on the back seat with Count DONNA.
He was pale. and evidences OF his bic into
the ditch we're still apparent on his clothes. He
bowed and saluted. and the people smiled
back at him. but not shout was raised as the
horses were still nervous and another acct
dent vas feared.
Count Donna Is said to have tried to induce
the Emperor to change carriages in Christ
burg but the Emperor persisted in riding
behind the blacks.
A message from the Emperor. giving an ac-
count Of the accident reached tho Empress in
Potsdam this evening The Emperor himself
sent it, fearing that exaggerated reports
might be made public and. coming to her no.
tice. might have q deplorable effect upon her

TRENTON, May 24.-When tho Democratic
