Knocked Down by a Runaway Horse.

Shortly before O'Clock this afternoon dis
tressing runaway happened. An elderly
couple, Mr. and Mrs ". J. Due kreIl of Alex
andria were badly injured by being knocked
down by a runaway horse at the intersection
of 18th street and Pennsylvania avenue.
The runaway horse WAS attached to a buggy
and was left standing on the avenue between
9th and IN streets. Another horse stopped
near by. backed against the animal and caused
1t to run away.
The vehicle struck Mr.. Duckrell first and
hurled him with considerable force against his
wife and the wheel of the vehicle then struck
her.
Both husband and wife we're knocked down
and received severe bruises about the head, in
addition to severe internal injuries. They we're
taken to the Emergency Hospital in a carriage.
The full extent Of their injuries could not
be ascertained- After the buggy did the dam
age it was upset and demolished. The animal
was then taken to the first precinct station.
The owner of the vehicle was in the drug
store soon after the injured persons arrived
there, but he refused to give his name He
sent for the carriage, however, and did all he
could for the injured couple.

Harry s. Hutton will get s1s2. 81, with inter

! the police department OF the District
Of Columbia will no longer be ham
pered by the army and navy clause of the act
of March 2. 1867. The decision of the Supreme
| Court of the United States in tho case of the
District of Columbia, plaintiff in error, versus
Harry S. Hutton was handed down today by
Justice Lamar.
The opinion. after reciting the history Of tho
case. discusses the laws at some length. shows
cations and says 1.-The question of the
repeating effect on the act of
117S was before US in Ecklof versus
District of Columbia. In that case the ques-
ton was whether that statute had repealed Sec
ton 355 of the revised statutes relating to the
District of Columbia which provided that no
person should be removed from the police
force except upon written charges preferred
against HIM to the board of police and after an
opportunity should have been afforded him
of being heard in his defense. The court
decided that the repeal had been affected
and that the District Commissioners, under the
power conferred upon them by those sections,
of the act of 1873, to which we have referred,
might summGrily dismiss and remove a MEM
Der or officer from the police force. We
think the court below was correct in holding
that that act superseded and repealed by
implication section % of the Revised Stat
utes relating to the District of Columbia. 1t
is true there are no express words of repeai in
the act OF 1878 applied to said section 345 but
the whole tenor of the act shows that it was
intended to supersede previous laws relating to
the same subject matter, and to provide sys-
tenn OF government for the District complete
in itself in all respects"
In conclusion the court goes on to state
that 1t is further argued that if section IS
be considered repealed by the act of
1878, then other sections of the Revised
Statutes relating to the District OF Columbia
must also be held to be repealed and
that evil consequences will follow. That con-
sideration, says the court, is not properly in
volved in this case. 1T will be time enough"
the opinion reads, ito consider other questions
when they come before MS"

CAPITOL TOPICS,
JUDGE WOODS NOMINATION.

From present indications the nomination OF
Judge Woods to be a United States circuit
judge is not likely to come before the Senate
for confirmation for several days yet. The
Senate Judiciary committee met this morning.
and 1t was tine expectation that some action
would be taken upon the nomination. 1t was
announced, however, that Chairman Hoar
was confined to his room by illness and would
not be able to attend the sessions of the COM
mlttee for week at least. In this state of
affairs no attempt was made to secure a report
on the nomination, and it will probably not be
called up again until Senator Hoar can partici-
pate in the proceedings
