When YOU see q runaway coming dc

pare yourself for a short run with the
horse. Measure with your eye the
distance and start for the run while he
is yet some way off, perhaps 10 feet in
the case of fair to medium runaways,
You may depend upon his keeping a
straight line, for a really frightened
horse is half blind, and would not veer

straight ahead until he smashes into
something. So do you get close to the
line Oh which he is rushing, and, as be
passes you, grab the reins near the
saddle. Gather the reins firmly, and
then, leaning backward as you run,
give them a powerful yank. You may
be able to brace yourself somewhat as
you give this yank, half sliding on
your feet. The strong jerk on the bit
tells the horse that he again has mas
ter, and prepares him for the final
struggle. A step or two forward after
the first yank, do it again. This is
the finishing stroke. 1t never fails
when given by determined man.
The horse is on its launches. Keep a
firm pull on the reins till you grasp
the horse by the nostrils, and hold him
so until he is paci6ed.-souther Gull

MOsBY's MEN IN REUNION.

Tt is now thirty years since the Forty
third Virginia Battalion, commonly
known as "Mosby's Men," were dis
banded on little eminence overlook
ing the picturesque town of Marshall,
Fauquier county, and yesterday the
most of the surviving members met on
the scene for the first time. The re-
union took place in a pretty grove near
town, and was attended by about 80
veterans, while nearly three thousand
spectators were present. A bountiful
repast of substantial viands and all the
delicacies of the season was enjoyed by
the people attending. Speeches were
made by Mr.. ]. S. Mason, of the neigh
borhood; Capt. VIM. Foster, of Marshall,
and Mr.. Jos. Bryan, editor of the Rich
mond Times, the prayer being deliver
ed by Rev. sgd. Ferguson, of Fredericks-
burg, known for his bravery as the
Fighting parson." The muster roll OF
the battalion was called, about six hun
dred having been present at the dis
bandment. A group of the veterans
was taken by a Washington photo
grapher. AS has been stated, Colonel
Mosby was unable to be present, but
his daughters. Mrs. Robert R. Camp
bell, of Warrenton; Mrs. Watson E.
Coleman, of Washington; Miss Pauline
Mosby, of Washington; Miss Ada Mos
by, of Washington, and the grandsons
of Mosby attended. A resolution was
passed to start a subscription and q
fund for erecting at Front Royal q
monument to those of Mosby's men
who were hanged at that point by Gen.
George A. Custer. Another resolution
was passed enacting that as Miss Win.
ME Davis was known as ;'the Daughter
of the Confederaoy," Miss Pauline Mos
by be chosen by the camp as "the
Daughter of Mosby's Confederaoy."

CAUGHT sHARK.-The members

CAUGHT BY A SHARK.-The members
of the excursion party Of the Consoli-
dated Railroad Engineers and Conduo-
tors, who participated in the annual
outing to Noyes Beach, off Watch Hill,
R. l., Sunday, have every reason to be-
lieye that engineer Charles Beattie, of
the Old Colony Road, was the victim of
a man-eating shark. MIR. Beattie went
in swimming and suddenly gave signs
of distress. Two companions tried to
phil him out of the water, but some
thing drew him under the water and
he disappeared. Mr.. Beattie was 26
years old, and for two years he held
the position OF engineer. He was prob
ably the youngest engineer of loco
motive in Boston. He was southerner
by birth, and, with his father and moth
er, came North a few years ago and To-
Gated in Boston. 1t is believed that
Beattie was caught by the foot by one
of the great schools of sharks now run
ming in the sound and the Management
bay, 400-pounder being captured only
yesterday morning at Satiu's Point.

a NEW ExPLosIvE.-An exhibition of the
new high explosive and gun shells invented
by George NJ. Hathaway was given at Wells
boro, Pa, yesterday before party of fifty ex-
perts and capitalists. Tho shells were fired
from Winchester repeating rifle with gum
powder as the propeliing force, and they ex-
ploded like bombs with time fuse at dis
lance of four hundred and five hundred yards.
The force was terrific, but the shells were
safe from explosion by conclusion. The new
explosive can be handled with as much safety
ar cornmeal, which it resembles in appear
ance, but its force is forty per cent. more pow
erful than the highest grade Of dynamite.
These are the first shells produced in which
high explosives can be safely handled and
fired from heavy cannon and shoulder arms,
and the theory of some experts that a high
explosive requires high defamation is set at
naught. The Hathaway High Explosive
Shell Company has been formed in New York
city, with Ex-Governor Thomas M. Waller, of
Connecticut, as president. The shells are to
be manufactured on large scale, and their
introduction will, it is thought, mark new
era in warfare.

STILL DUMPING IT INTO THE RIVER.
The practice of dumping the night soil
of Washington into the river oil this
city is again a source of complaint
among rivermen. The stuff is brought
down the river on scows presumably to
be deposited in trenches in Broad creek,
though, it is charged, but little of it
reaches there. 1t is said those having
the scows in charge begin throwing
their cargoes into the river from the
time they pass the Eastern branch, and
that the river is kept defiled. During
the spring OILERS were subjected to no
little annoyance by this practice, their
nets often being in need of carbolic acid
or some other disinfectant after drift.
The crews of vessels who are compelled
TO fill their water tanks in the Potomac
are loud in their complaints. The Dis
triet Commissioners will have their at
tention again called to the matter.
