A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Several People Injured in Front of q
Market This Morning.

A runaway took place this morning in
front of the Riggs Market. on p street.
injuring a number of persons. Shortly
after II o'clock a horse attached to a
wagon belonging to John Dietz. a butcher
in the Riggs Market. became frightened at
the cable cars. The horse turned into p
street, where the wagon was overturned.
The horse. breaking from the single tree,
dashed down the sidewalk which was crowd
ed at the time
The horse ran through the crowd cutting
a swath. and leaving behind trail Of in
jured people. 1t was found that six or
eight persons had been struck. DR.. ]. R.
Wellington, whose office is near by. ran to
the scene. He ordered the injured trans
ferred to the drug store at the corner of
18th and z streets, and worked faithfully
and after time had sent the wounded to
their homes
One lady in a delicate condition was thor
oughly Frustrated by the shock but re-
fused to give her name, as did several
others who were but slightly injured. Mary

THE POLLARD-BRECKINR SUIT.
1t Will Probably Come Up for Trial In
Few Weeks.

Few Weeks.
Contrary to all expectation, II is now
probable that the suit of Miss Madeline "
Pollard against Representative Breckin.
ridge of Kentucky, instituted in August
last. and in which the fair plaintiff sues
the eloquent Congressman for damages in
the amount of $5O.OOO. because Of alleged
seduction and breach Of promise. will come
up for trial within a few weeks time pos.
sibly before the first Of next month.
In conversation with one Of the counsel
for Miss Pollard today Star reporter
learned that the plaintiff was quite prepar-
ed for the trial. and that any postpone
ment urged by the defendant, should any
such delay be attempted. would be stoutly
resisted. You can rest assured" remark
ed counsel. that the case will be tried be-
fore the nominating convention In the de-
defendants district Is held"
Counsel also stated that about the only
way in which Mr.. Breckinridge could Sc.
cure a postponement of the trial would be
to show to the court that the attendance
OF witnesses important and material to his
defense could not then be secured, but. ex.
planned counsel. the defendant would have
to state who the witnesses were and what
he expected to prove by them.
Gould the Congressman" INQUIRED the
reporter. mot seek a postponement Of the
trial upon showing that his congressional
duties required his attendance elsewhere ?''
oh. yes" was the reply. but / think
that he would have to first convince The
court that the interests Of the country
would suffer through his absence from the
halls of legislation.
The case will of course. be heard in one
OF the two circuit branches Of the Distric,
supreme Court, and as 1t is an even num-
bered suit, the case will be tried before
Judge Bradiey, In Circuit Court No /. The
probable early hearing of the case will be
due. 1t is explained. to the fact that the
Circuit Court calendars were taken up ar
the beginning of the present term where
trlais ceased at the close Of the preceding
term. Heretofore the practice has been 10
80 back to case No. 1, instead of running
the calendar after once started. Hence.
IT was under the belief that the old prac-
tee would be observed. that a trial of the
case was not expected for a year or more.

Mr.. wngEaman's Hotel.

Mr.. H. p. Waggaman called on the COM
missioners this afternoon for the purpose
Of obtaining certain Information required
by him In behalf of the erection Of a large
hotel at the corner Of 10th street and Flor
ida avenue northwest Mr.. Waggaman de-
clined to give any details. The Commits
sioners, when asked about the improve
ment, stated that all they knew was the
mere fact that Mr. Waggaman had told
them that a syndicate of wealthy New
York men were to build the hotel, and Mr.
Waggaman wanted some general informa-
ton about building regulations. 1t was
learned that the hotel would be q very
large and expensive one.

IN PECkHAM'S FAVOR.
Some Slight Indications Which Give
Encouragement to His Friends.

The Senate judiciary committee will un-
auestionably devote the greater part of the
time of its meeting next Monday to the con-
sideration of the nomination of Mr.. Peck
ham to be associate justice of the Supreme
Court. but doubt Is expressed as to whether
the committee will be able to reach a con-
clusion at that time
II is believed that at least one democratic
member of the Senate Judiciary COMMITTEES
who opposed Hornblower will favor the
nomination, and there is a Probability that
one republican. who voted for HornbloWer.
Will oppose Peckham, and there are also
others who may change.
The chances at this time are better how
ever, for change in Peckham's favor than
against. and the prospect for a favora Bile
report when the report IL made are conse-
quently improved to that extent. Oppo-
nents OF Mr.. Peckham recognize this fact
and declare that they are prepared for it,
as they expect to gain in the Senate what
they may lose in committee.

know Of his public services and of his
many acts Of charity. and am familiar
somewhat with the great and lasting ben
fits which he has conferred during his
eventful life, upon mankind. He was en-
fnently a Humanitarian and as long as time
shall endure he will be known as one who
loved his fellow men. He never sought, but
on the contrary, declined public office. There
is no doubt but what Gen. Grant or Presi-
dent Harrison would have given him any
place that he would have desired in the gift
of the President. He preferred to live the
life of private citizen and to exercise his
influence through his great journal and
through his personal efforts. Even the
presidency offered no inducements to him.

private station, and no man ever adorned
the private station better than he has

men, and children manned the ropes

This monument Is going to be one Of
Rlchmond's most precious possessions
and we should not like to see any mistake
made In placing the statue on the
column. 1t should face the city. II would
be a blunder to turn the soldiers side or
back to US.
All that can be said IN favor Of facing
the statue towards the river IL that from
that direction the enemy usually came.
and that a sentinel should be looking In
the direction from which an advance Is
to be expected All this Is true. But the
Federal troops approached Richmond
from divers directions at divers times.
Once their cavalry were on the Westham
road in force, and attacked our militia
at Green's farm. Another party came as
near to Richmond as the field where A. p.
Hills statue now stands, on the Hermit
tage road. And later they fought US at
the Yellow Tavern. where Stuart was
MORALLY wounded.
The public expect the statue to face the
city. The weight OF artistic consldera-
tons favors that position. and we hope
that 1t will be so ordered by the monu.
ment association-indeed. We had thought
that this had been agreed upon from the
beginning.

The Confederate brisadiers were never
able TO accomplish anything until. by the
Kindness of their conquerors, they were
permitted to enter Congress. But there,
reinforced by the northern doughfaces.
they are able to cut down the pension-ist,
and to control tariff legislation against
those who rehabiitated them with citizen
ship.-Cincinnati Commercial.
The trouble is that they have not been
able to "cut down the pension-lisr very
much. AS to tariff legislation the south
ern brigadiers," IL not able to control
IT, may reasonably hope to have some
influence in securing for the country a
better law than tie Mckinley law.
Southern brigadiers are very fine TEL
lows when they can be gotten TO vote
the Republican ticket, but according to
certain theorists, they become rebels
again when they vote with the Democrats.
