Double Runaway.

A runaway occurred about noon
today which tore along everything
in its path on College, st. Mary's
and Houston streets. 1t started
from the Alamo Insurance build
ing. A horse, attached to a buggy,
became frightened and ran into
another buggy, which was then
also started on the run.
The horses drawing the two
buggies came dashing up st.
Mary's street and nearly ran over
man and woman. One of the
buggies struck a buggy of T. j.
Johnson on st. Mary's street, and
slightly damaged it, and also hurt
Mr.. Johnson's horse about the legs.
The latter's horse was about to
start on the run then, but was
stopped. AT Houston street, in
front of the Odd Fellows hall, one
OF the buggies ran into Mrs. S. F.
Ostrom's buggy and demolished a
front wheel of her vehicle.
One of the buggies became
detached from the horse near the
bridge, but the horse continued on
its route, while the other buggy
kept on going at high rate Of
speed, first striking the curbing on
one side of the street and then the
other. Nobody was hurt, although
Mrs. Ostrom had a very narrow es-
cape. She received slight scratch
ON the arm.

ceedings OF the City Council, it
will occur to them that we have a
genuine cuisines mems" council.
|
The report upon the Brand
charges against Alderman Mackey
sustained the charges, while alb
solving the venerable alder
from any intention of violating
section 246 OF the city charter.
Then Alderman Devine made
the discovery that there was no
penalty for violating sec. 246 and
offers an ordinance defining the
penalty to be removal from office.
Alderman Robards, a gentleman
Of great p6rienc9s insisted upon
the prompt passage of the ordi-
nance. In fact spasm OF virtue
swept over our "busineSs mems"
coun Gil.
1t might have occurred to the
council that such provision
would not be left to the tender
mercies Of a city council, whether
they should attach a penalty to it
| or not.
1t constitutes an offt nee punish
able under the state law; n ore
than that, the Council has power
to remove its members under Sec
ton Il, of the charter, by two
thirds vote.
Section "a, OF the charter, en-
powers the Council to provide by
ordinance for the suspension, or
removal Of all officers, for malfeas-
ance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance
in office.
Chapter Is, of the revised city
ordinances, provides for the remov-
al OF officers, consequently no new
ordi nance is needed to enforce
section 246.
Alderman Hollis well meant
attempt 10 get city business
down TO a contract basis proves
that he has not been in the cOun-
Gil long enc I'll to be thoroughly
familiar with the city legislation.
The ordinance governing contracts
| only needs amendment to be in
harmony with Alderman Hollis
ordinance, which if it had been
passed without a repeating clause
would have been in conflict with
the existing ordinance.
There is no doubt but that our
present city council are in earnest
in their determination to have city
business done upon more exact
principles than heretofore.
When eX-Alderman Joe Beckmau
| attempted to have the ordinance
governing contracts applied to all
public work,-he met with no en-
couragement, yet he was right.
AS to section 2l6 of the City
Charter, it should be written in
letters OF gold over the door of the
Council chamber.
The legal construction Of the Sec
ton, should be taken in connection
with Art. $50, state penal code,
which excludes by IMPLICATION, or

transactions, such as buying in the

From the two instances given it
is evident that city kindergarten
should be opened for the benefit of
our aldermen.
Has it came to be a fact that as
soon as we elect b usiness mems
City Council they lose all their

WHAT COST CHINA.

An authoritative statement of the
terms of peace being negotiated be-

secured from official sources at Wash

in order to clear up much mi>reprcs-

in number, as follows: The In

manent occupation OF Port Arthur and
immediate contiguous territory. A
new Japanese Chinese treaty opening
the interior OF China to commerce.

MINISTER RANSOM.
THE DISCOVERY OF n BRIGHT
NEWSPAPER MAN.
Our Mexican Minister'S Appointment
Conflicts with tho Constitution.

Mr.. Wynne. Of the Cincinnati Tri-
bune, sent out the following facts sub
stantially as here re-stated: The last
paragraph of section s, article l of the
United States constitution reads: NO
Senator or Representative shall during
the time for which he was elected, be
appointed to any civil Office under the
authority of the United States, which
shall have been created or the emolu-
ments whereof shall have been increas-
I'd during such time" The Mexican
minister was paid Sl2 500 annual sala-
ry until by the passage of the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
of 1891 providing for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1892, his salary was
increased to SIT. 500. Senator Ran
som was reelected to serve for six
wears, the term beginning March 4,
1889. and ending March 3, 1895. Just
before the expiration ofthis term he
vas nominated and unanimously con-
'irIned minister plenipotentiary to
Mexico. The Office was not created,
but its emolumento were undoubtedly
Increased during t Ii Senator's
term of office. It i, clearly seen
an nd mi tie d by the ac-
counting officers of the Treas

Lawrence. formerly Comptroller, all
of whom were consulted on the sub
ject, but the Presidents way out of the
difficulty is to make IA recess appoint
ment to be confirmed by Senate Of
which General Ransom shall not be
member. This he will probably do
Immediately. The minister, it is to be
regretted, will lose something over
months salary. Correspondent
Wynne says he likes the old general
and would have left it for somebody
else to make the discovery if 1t had
cost the minister his place. The early
divulgence saves some trouble as we'll
AS salary. The proceedings CT the
Federal convention show that the
trainers Of the constitution came near
ruling eX-Congressmen out As ap-
pointees to offices created during their
terms of office. The paragraph quoted
above was compromise.

ERADSTREET'S REPORT.
Business Outlook Improving -Contin-

Business Outlook Improving--Conti
ued Strength in Cotton.
Bradstreet's report for the past week
says:
The feature in trade circles is found
in the prices movement, more psrti-
cularly those for cattle, dressed beef
and petroleum. Drouth, low prices
alkS ..hard times within two years
have resulted in a shorter supply of
cattle, prospectively 30 per cent. less
than last year. Live cattle are 81. 60
higher per 100 pounds than last year,
and 81 higher than the lowest point
this year. Dressed beef is ~ cents
higher than the average last year, the
highest since 1885. Petroleum sold to
81 81! on Thursday, 81 cents higher
than on January ist, and rs cents
higher than year ago, which is more
than three times the lowest price in
1892, and the highest quotation since
ISIS.
Among the more important South,
crn cities reporting actual gains in the
movement of merchandise are Atlanta,
Augusta, Savannah and Galveston, but
improvement there is slight. The
outlook is regal aAfed more cheerfully at
New Orleans, where sugar bounty
disbursements e expected soon, but
at jacksonville and birmingham gen
eral trade is quiet and in some lines
slow. Nashville and Memphis re-
tain Improvement previously recorded.
Improved weather helps trade at Char
lesion. At Chattanooga dry goods and
hardware are relatively more active.
In cottons continued strength APP
pears, with further occasional advsn-
ces of quarter and an eighth il print
cloths, and the aggregate is fair. Many
agents are sold well ahead.
Failures for the week were 2O7 in
the United States, against 21S last
year, and 27 in Canada against "a last
year.

A New Trial For Aughtry--X. NJ. c.
A. Gymnastics at ShandOn.

Aughtry has a new lease of life. He
will be given another trial by order of
Judge Earle. 1t had been thought
that the case was at an end, but few
will complain that Aughtry has been
given another chance to show that he
is an innocent man When the court
assembled, Judge Earle addressed
himself to the motion for a new trial
and explained hi, position IN these
words:
'It has been said that it is better for
ninety nine guilty persons to escape
punishment than for one Innocent nan
to perish, and might add THAI IL Is

Don't be Fooled By ii Rise in Price.

Alfred E. Shepperson. the cotton
statistician of New York, writes to the
Cotton Exchange of Charleston, S. C:
Il think an advance in cotton be
fore the planting is completed would
be unfortunate, as it would probably
cause a larger acreage in cotton than
had been contemplated, and the result
OF full acreage would undoubtedly
be to cause n serious decline in prices
| think the Southern planters have
it in their own hands now, by the ac-
tlOn which they may take in respect to
acreage, to control the price of cotton
'or many months. A considerable re-
duction in acreage, in view of the i'm
proved trade conditions throughout
the world, would certainly lead to
very considerable and permanent ad--
vance in cotton, whereas without such
reduction l fear that prices would
continue for many months, subject, of
course, to occasional fluctuations, upon
II very low range, and upon so low a
range that there would be no profit to
the American cotton growers.
