THE rivalry that exists between
Galveston and Houston does not
prevent the Herald of the latter
city from conceding the palm to
Galveston in the matter of raising
hell and chickens. The chickens
are raised at night from a neigh
boris roOst, unless they roost too
high, and the other thing is raised
day and night by everybody. The
Herald is too generous by half.
Houston runs a hell of her own.

THERE is no doubt that the
country is looking to Secretary
Carlisle for definite fiscal policy,
as they are abundantly justified
in doing as he is the head of the
national treasury, but it is equally
true that Judging from present in
dications the country will look in
vain. However good the inten-
tions of Secretary Carlisle may be
it is only too certain that he cam
not give what he does not possess.

the genius ever thinks of resOrting

A Runaway Pair Tear Into the Oaks and
Throw Four People Out.

Late yesterday afternoon, something
of sensation was created in the west
ern part of the city by the appearance of
a handsome span of horses tearing head
long down the steep hill of new State
street, dragging after them a two. seated
carriage, in which were two men and
two women. They were Mr.. Harry Var
ney of this city, his brother-in-law, and
two ladies' How the team became
frightened is not known, but it is thought
that the rein caught over the pole and
made trouble. The horses tore down
over the hill at great speed, but Mr.. Var
ney and his brother-in-law put theil unit
ed strength to a strong pull on the reins
and managed to guide the team between
the granite pillars at the park entrance.
Along the driveway by the pond the
horses continued, until the sharp turn
was reached. III turning to the west
ward, one of the wheels of the carriage
gave way, and the next instant the Occur
pants were thrown out. One of the
women tainted, but was soon revived
The party afterwards continued their
drive with another team.

eoIocS tuesday NOON -
and Since Then No One Has seen him'
Considerable excitement was caused III
Deering yesterday by tne mysterious
disappearance of Mr.. George. o hoagaon'
the proprietor of Hodgdon's Express,
which does a large business between
Portland and Deering. Mr. Hodgdon
was last seen Tuesday noon. During the

some business. And 1t was notlced
afterward that he was evidently laboring
under considerable excitement. He was
in this state Of mind when ne left his
home ct Morrill's to go again to see the
man at Woodfords, and it is said that ne
was heard to mutter that he should do
something desperate. He went directly
to Woodfords, and had some conversation
with the man concerning the business.
They met in the upper part of Mr.. John
Scanlan's shop and talked the matter
over. Suddenly he dropped his account
book which he had with him and hastily
left the shop, saying as he went, you
have wronged me-" He crossed the
street from Mr. Scanlan's shop, passed
down Deering street to Mechanic rather
hurriedly, and turned up Mechanic. A
neighbor who met him noticed him as
he passed. but on turning moment
latter to look after him, saw nothing of
him. He may have turned down the
