The pressure to transfer Inaugural
ton day to April 3Oth will naturally
grow greater alter Saturdays expe-
rience. The cutlery for the change is
becoming general. March is, without
doubt, the least suitable month in the
year for these outdoor ceremonies.
Were the date made later, thousands
more would come from all parts Of the
country to witness them who are now
afraid to venture. The exposure to
which the President and others are
subjected is wholly unnecessary, and
The popular sentiment favorable to a
transfer Of the time is 50 strong that
Congress can hardly help resisting the
feeling much longer.

A BAD RUNAWAY.

Yesterday morning at $50 clock run
away occurred just east of the Santa Fe
tracks, that might have been more serious
than it really was. The team belonged TO
Henry Smith, who WAS engaged in hauling
the jasperiie that is being taken from the
street, and in coming west on Douglas,
and while just east OF the Santa t'e tracks,
a street car came up nearly behind the
borses and they became frightened. They
were terribly frightened. In the vernacular
of the street gamln, they only hit the high
spots. They were anxious to get away
The team was being driven by George
Norris, but Mr.. Smith was Oh the wagon,
and when he saw the team was uumanage-
able he crawled TO the front part of the
wagon and took Que line, and the two men
tested the strength of their arms with that
of the horses mouths. But they could
not be stopped. They ran across the tracks
and struck the tongue OF the wagon
against the south gate used for stopping
teams from crossing the tracks when trains
are approaching. The bottom part OF the
gate. Is made of heavy cast iron, but the
force of the blow crushed it. The wagon
was heavily loaded. Both men were
thrown off, Mr.. Norris on the side of the
wagon, aud had MS foot hurt, and Mr.
Smith between the horses, but escaped
unhurt. Nothing was broken about the
wagon but the coupling pole.

POLICE COURT.

There was thin picking for the reporter
at the police court yesterday morning, only
two cases being on the docket.
Frank Sheldon, ID response to his name,
said he guessed he was a little drunk. To
the best of his recollection that was his
condition when Officer Dadisman made his
acquaintance the night before aud invited
him to partake of his hospitality. He was
assessed s. and sent down stairs.
Louis L. Ebert was charged with assault
by a man named Strobe who. it appears,
makes a business OF making life a burden
to others. Mr.. Ebert pied not guilty. and
was given till o'clock to prepare for trial,
and Judge Babb said he himself would in
vestigate the matter in the mean time. At
1 O'Clock the case was taken up and after
an hour of sitting the defendant was dis
charged. Judge Babb said that nc man
who assailed the character of woman
would find any sympathy in his court, il
be did get licked.

The Missouri Pacific railway boys are
passing a sleepless night. Their sleep is
not haunted by those pleasant dreams

dreaming of decapitatlng blocks and

are wondering whether they VIII be

Their uneasiness is caused by the ex-
pected arrival of General Manager bod

travelling along the line doing retrenching
