FUNERAL CABS IN COLLISION.
An Exciting Runaway in the Ninth
Ward Friday Afternoon

Three Persons Injured and Coach Badly
Dainaged-The Mishap Said to Have Been
Caused by the Horses Becoming Fright
ened Mt Excavations in the Street.
Three people, more or less severely
injured. and badly wrecked coach,
form the sequel to an exciting runaway
on Market street, in the Ninth ward,
Friday afternoon. The injured were:
Mrs. Rachel Barnes. who was hurt in
the back; her son, Charles James,
whose arm was dislocated, and the
driver, named Hearn, who was bruised
on the leg.
After the funeral of Jacob Hanna,
while the funeral coaches were return
ing, a pair of grays ran away. The
driver kept on the box, but had appar-
emily lost control Of the horses. They
kept clear of other teams until they
reached Twentieth street, where the
available part of the street ie very mar
row on account of the sewer work.
Here the tongue OF the runaway team
struck the rear of another coach,
drawn by bay horses, with great force.
Then several things happened. The
back of the coach which was struck
was shattered and one of its wheels
knocked off. The driver was thrown
from his seat, and it looked like the
wheels passed over him.
For few minutes the coach was
upright, then it fell completely on its
side, and glass windows were smashed.
The horses were stopped near Nine
teenth street, in tine to prevent the
coach from falling into the hole made
by the sewer excavation at the corner.
Then the occupants of the vehicle were
released from their unpleasant position.
Mrs. Barnes and Charles James, her
son, were taken into Mrs. Eliza Dor
sey's store, No. 1902 Market street
where the were attended by DR.. James
H. Morgan. They were taken later tc
their residence, No. 315 East Tenth
street. Mrs. Barnes was affected great
deal by the shock. Her sons arm was
dislocated at the elbow.
Hearn, the driver Of the bays, dazed
by the fall, got up as soon as the team
passed by, walked few PAGES and fell.
He was taken into Charles NJ. Grubb
& Co. 's store, No. 1914 Market street,
where he revived. His trousers were
badly torn but his injuries were not
serious He lives at No. 304 Lombard
street.
The horses which caused the trouble
were swung around with the cab, and
one of them got leg caught between
the spokes The sewer workmen helped
check the horses, and the occupants of
the vehicle came out scared but not
hurt. The tongue Of the cab was broken.
The teams were owned by H. W.
Lowe, who naturally regrets the acci-
dent very much. Mr.. Lowe thinks
there would have been no trouble if
the street had been clear

ger said that he could not vouch for
the story personally, although,it hat.
been told him by reputable South
Americans who claimed TO be familiar
with tire particulars of the odd dis
coyery of the treasure.
In speaking of the possibilities of
the Josephine mine, the passenger said
that fortunes had been expended in the
hunt for gold in Colombia, and that
but few of the claims had amounted to
anything sensational, while the miners
were practically travelling over placer
beds of ore to reach the quartz mines
of the mountains, where the labor was
much greater, and the quartz mines
had generally turned out to be merely
some pocket Of ore that was soon OK
hausted. Their disappointing finds
were made after an immense outlay to
transport machinery thar had to be
constructed so that it could be taken
apart and carried on the backs of men
and mules to the desired point. On
the plain he said that the outlay was
much less. In the first place, while
the quartz mines meant anything from
a week to 10 days travel, with no
means of transportation other than
mules, the Josephine was only seven
miles from steamboat line. and when
it was reached all the hunter had to
do was to excayate the loose sol and
disintegrated quartz, and wash for the
rich deposit that rewarded the labor.
He said that one machine could take
out 100 cubic yards day, and low
estimate placed the value of such ex-
cavation at $3.50. Labor is very cheap
and can be had for 40 cents day,
making the profit in the enterprise a
princely one.
On the estimates given, should Mr..
Dougherty lease out his entire claim in
the Josephine mine. he would receive
in commissions from $3.50 to $500 day,
with practically no outlay. This, how
ever, is not his intention. The passen-
ger, who is familiar with the expressed
Intentions of the owner Of the rich
claim, said that Mr.. Dougherty had
such confidence in the immense value
of his discovery that he intended keep
ing portion OF the mine to work per-
sonally. Should the sol render the
same harvest at depth as it does
near the surface, the Josephine mine
promises to be mining discovery such
as was never before made in the history
of the wealth of Mother Earth.

the Rev. f. NJ. Scott and is now under
his leadership. The church succeeded

guidance of Shiloh Baptist Church.
According to the ott er ministers, Mr..
Scott did not follow the established
usage when be formed the church.
The only regular way is to form a
new church from members of an older
congregation. Instead Of doing this
Mr.. Scott organized some converts into
new church. He was warned by the
colored pastors that he was not pro
ceeding properly, but he did not pay
heed to them. Had he first brought
his converts into Shiloh Church, the
new church could have been properly
organized.
Mr.. Scott attended the ministers
conference and was heard. He practi-
cally refused to adopt the suggestions
of the ministers. The conference
issued the announcement of its disap-
proval of the church in order to let the
people understand the status of the
church from their standpoint.
