About 1890 this morning a horse be-

driver, Lewis Cloncy, a colorcd boy,
were st anding in front OF Capt. M. ].

making a call. Cloney heard the
noise made by the approaching
runaway and attempted to drive
across irto Cherry street to get out OF
the path of the runaway. He was not
quick enough, however, and when the
buggy was turned directly across the
street it was struck by the runaway
horse, which was going at a frightful
gait. The Jarvis horse made lying
leap and struck the top of DR.. Weaver's s
buggy, tearing it off, and knocking
Cloney out. DIR. Weaver had run out by
| this time and stopped the runaway,

the crash, ran up Cherry street, where

He is pleasant and makes every .tcllo w

LONDON, July 13.-Nothing has been
said publicly herc-that is, since the an
nouncement of the observation-disclosures
the painfully suppressed romance under
lying this latest and most pompous of
royal weddings. Vague reports of a
story reached London months ago, and
was kept within narrow circles for a
time. IT first began to spread because a
tradesman received a hint from friend
who was in the secret to insure his
venture in wedding presents and so
forth against possible failure of the
marriage. Last Wednesday the reports
became suddenly SO definite that long
odds wagers are said to have actually
been laid at Lloyd's against the wedding
taking place the following day. OF
course it is well-nigh impossible to get a
tangible corroboration of u tale of this
character when SO many powerful ones
shutting it up.
The most authentic version which rests
upon the authority of one who has gath.
cred the facts at first hand in Malta was
that between four and five years ago
George was married by the Roman
CathC lie rite to daughter of British
naval officer of high rank, and that there
are two children by the marriage. O
course the contracting parties knew
that by the royal marriage act there
was really no marriage at all; but
the theory is that George, who was then
not in direct line to the throne, counted
on his elder brothers marriage and hav

would be accounted a quasi sanction
