and Horse Bruised.

George W. vreeiand's buggy Smashed
and Horse Bruised.
Shortly after ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing the pedestrians on Garfield avenue,
near the New York Bay Cemetery, were
startled at seeing a horse running at break
neck speed down the thoroughfare and
dragging a buggy to which he WIS hitched
over the rough road in o manne that
BODIED i'll for the vehicle. The animal and
rig belonged to George w. Vreeland, of
Linden avenue, and had been fastened to
a tree at Van Norstrand Place. For some
unknown reason he became frightened
and broke away from his f~astenings and
ran down the thoroughfare. He turned
into Gator avenue and upset the buggy,
smashing it. This only cared him all the
more, and when reached Ocean avenue he
turned down that tho roughfare. His
progress was stopped, however. by Mounted
Policeman Mackey, who, at great personal
risk. grabbed the bride and brought him
to a standstill. By this time the buggy
was smashed almost into kindling wood.
The horse was frightfully bruised about
the legs by the buggy and is now in care
of a veterinary surgeon. The animal is
very valuable,

GIyERs AND GIVES.

The approach Of Christmas is shad-
owed this year by peculiar conditions
of misfortune and encouragement. A
prolonged experience Of commercial
and industrial depression has put the
whole country in an economical mood,
and materially lessened the means of
liberal giving. Such a discipline is
not calculated to stimulate generosity
or to inspire designs for making peo-
pie happy with presents. The differ.
ence of paying ordinary bills, of pro
yiding the necessities of life, of get
ting through the winter without re-
sort to humiliating expedients, has a
tendency to tighten purse strings and
10 chill the gracious spirit of the hol-
iday season. There are certain obi.
cations that must be met, certain re-
sponsibilities that must not be eyaded,
and they confront us with an unmis-
taxable admonition of prudence in the
use of money. The times are out OF
joint, the unexpected is likely to hap
pen, the pinch Of poverty may become
epidemic. Under these given circum-
stances, the average citizen feels that
1t is his first duty to be practical. His
head tells his heart that the situation
does not justify any indulgence in
poetry. He finds the Christmas feel.
ing creeping upon him by force OF
habit, and he represses it as If it were
temptation to evil, with an indig.
nant protest against the sinister and
inexplicable forces which compel him
thus to antagonize the best impulses
Of his nature, and to deny himself the
luxury of kindness because he cannot
afford it.

THIRTY DAYS

and Immediately when congress reas-
sembles after the recess Mr.. Wilson
viii call up the bull for active consid-
Grafton and it will be kept upon the
boards until it is passed. The Demo
cratic kickers are becoming fewer and
less noisy every day. There is not
more than a dozen of them now and
the chances are that after the holt
days and after the kickers have had
an opportunity TO confer with their
people they will disappear altogether
and become lost in the general demo
cratic enthusiasm to put the bill
through the House in conformity with
the demands Of the people Of the
United States.
1t is not likely that there win be a
single democratic vote cast against
the bill, and from present appearances
the Populist will also vote for 1t.
This ought to give the measure 200
majority in the House. With a back
ing of this kind in the popular branch
it IS difficult to see how any demo-
cratic senator can resist the measure
in the enate-Republic.

thorough knowledge of the subject

1t is praised on all sides as work
of great ability. The introduction Of

and Mr.. Wilson was very often con.
graduated.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The most important financial deyel-
opment of the past few days is the
agreement of the New York banks to
furnish all the gold necessary for ex-
portation at present. 1t is understood
that they have promised to provide
$50, 100000 for this purpose if that
much IS required. The effect Of this
| pledge, it is easy to see, must be to
relieve the timid of all alarm regard
ing the gold movement The banks
course In this exigencv is a really i'm
portant factor in the situation, as the
Treasury will be relieved of the drain
whether it be small or great OF
course the banks are safe IN coming
to the rescue Of the Government, for
they have more money on hand than
they can employ profitably, and the
relief which they Furnish the Treasury
which will strengthen the financial
situation, will benefit them both di-
rectly and indirectly.
1t is safe to assume that the stock
of idle money in the New York banks
has reached its maximum for this
season, and that gradual decrease
will be the order of the day from this
time until the hoard reaches a lower
level than has been seen lately. From
early in August along to about the
beginning Of December the increase
in the reserves of those institutions
was at the rate of about 5000, 900 a
week. The high water mark in the
drift of money to the country's finan.
cial center has evidently been reach
ed. and the ebb tide has now set in.
The $40, 100000 Of surplus reserves
in the New York banks which was at
tanned last week makes record that
IS not likely to. be broken at an early
day.
Bank clearances last week told an
unfavorable story OF business condi.
tons They we're 80 per cent less,
taking the country as whole, than
they we're in the corresponding week
Of 1892. If New York be left out of
the computation, however, the falling
off was only 1871 per cent. No real
improvement in the business situation
was noticed last week, but the increase
in loans to the extent of $4,000, 900,
which appears IN the New York bank
statement, may be considered favor
able indication of some Importance
Globe Democrat.
