A RUNAwAY.-A horse attached to a
wagon, the name of the owner of which
could not be ascertained, ran away on
Wilkes street yesterday and getting
upon the sidewalk caused great con-
sternation, especially among people
engaged in rolling baby carriages. One
was in charge Of colored girl who
seeing the frightened animal coming at
a gallop had presence of mind enough
to seize the infant and get it out OF the
carriage just in time to save it from be-
ing Killed. The carriage was COM
pletely demolished under the horses
hoofs. The horse was finally stopped
after it had run several squares. The
same horse is said to have run away on
Wilkes street few days ago, when it
pursued an easterly course until it
reached Fairfax street when it mount
ed the pavement and ran down the
sidewalk to Gibbon street. Fortunate
" the little children which generally
play on that square escaped injury.

serious accident while at work in the

the brake, when the chain broke and he
was thrown to the track. The left side
of his head came in contact with the
ground and when picked up it was
found that he was seriously hurt. The
unfortunate man was carried to his
home on upper Prince street where DIR.
O'Brien attended him. IL was thought
at first his injuries were fatal, but this
morning his condition had improved.

BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREw.-The
third public meeting of the Alexandria
Local Council of the Brotherhood OF st.
Andrew was held last evening in
Hearst Hall, Pohick, Fairfax county.
Notwithstanding the intense heat, quite
q number of the members of the
Brotherhood from this city, the Theo-
logical Seminary and Washington were
present, besides good attendance OF
friends from Pohick. Before the meet
ing began the visitors enjoyed the hos
pitalty of the ladies in the way of re.
past, which was quite refreshing and
for which they received the standing
vote of the local council. The first
subject under discussion was "Layman's
Responsibility which was entered into
by Messrs. Albion K. Paris, OF st.
Johns chapter, Georgetown, D. c.;
Robert B. Nelson and S. R. Guig.
nard, of Virginia Seminary chapter;
George nj. Howells, of Pohick chapter;
George barley, of Grace chapter; and
William 81. F. Beckham aud Frank ].
Davidson, OF st. PauPs chapter.
The second subject under discussion
was "Our Work" which was subdivided
into three heads: Its motive, its cost
and its power, the appointed speakers
being Messrs. George NJ. Howells, OF
Pohiok Chapter; Samuel A. Wallis, OF
Pohick Chapter, and Robert B. Nelson,
of Virginia Seminary Chapter respec-
tiyeIy. Messrs. Rolla P. Currie, of AS
cension Chapter, Washington, d. G.;
George Darley, of Grace Chapter; S. r.
Guicnard, of Virginia Seminary Chap
ter, and George w. Salter, of st. johns
Chapter, Washington, d. c., entered
into the general discussion which FOL
lowed. The addresses were all good,
spirited and full of practical sug-
tions, particularly those of Messrs.
Paris, Howells and Nelson. An
idea prevails in the minds OF
many that man when he be-
comes member Of the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew is taking on himself re-.
sponsibilities which he did not then
possess. but this erroneous notion must
have been wholly eradicated from the
minds Of those who heard the addresses
last evening. Each and every man,
whether he be member of the church
or not. has certain responsibilities to
the church which he is bound to re-
spect. A great many never seem to
realize these responsibilities and it was
for this purpose that the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew was organized. In q
word, the only two requisites for sue
cessful brotherhood work are, first
"come and see," and then go and tell"

People who think we'll of the
beauty of Main street are beginning to
talk about the removal of the telephone,
telegraph and electric light poles off it.
They are very unsightly things and
greatly mar the view. A large number
of other cities have ordered them taken
off principal streets and put into the
alleys at one side or the other. This
subject becomes an important one now,
in view Of the fact that another tele-
phone company is asking for fran
chise and wants to string other lines of
poles about. 1t would be very wise
proceeding for the council to order the
poles now on Main street taken off and
see to it that, if it grants franchise to
the National Telephone Construction
company, it put it's poles elsewhere
also. 1t is not only a question of
beauty, but safety as well. Poles on
Main street in a case of serious confa-
grafton are a hindrance and danger.
They are not tolerated in towns where
the citizens have proper pride in their
city1s looks. Let an organized demand
be made for their removal.

Uses to be delightful, outdoor, woodsy

The thought of the day is to center
upon the harvest. A grass parade en-
bodying picturesque, grotesque and
practical thoughts of the harvest will
appear. A prize is offered for the car
rage most artistically decorated with
any one kind of flower. Goldenrod,

dahlias and hollyhocks are suggested.
Any one may compete. Everybody is
invited to join in the festivities.

Rowdyism in Newspapers.

Some Of the citizens of Kenosha sore
Iy need a few lessons of such nature
as to aid them in distinguishing be-
tween roWdyism and decency in jour
nalism In any town where self re-
specting people live it should be just
as impossible to print bar room Ian
guage and loaferish insinuations as to
speak them in polite circles. Every
circle in Kenosha should be considered
a polite circle, and no matter how much
a depraVed sentiment among certain
classes may demand that which is low
and vulgar, such demand should not
be gratifed. Therein is one Of the dis
oTetiOns of proper journalism. 1t has a
right to pass upon that which it deems
not for the good Of the community. If
the immediate neighbOrhood of a paper
were all that could be affected by row.
dyism, not so much stress would be
necessary on this point. 1t cannot be
confined at home, however. No paper
is published for its own town alone, no
matter how local it may be in it's make
up 1t necessarily carries the odors of
it's home kitchen and parlor with it,
most especially if it be purely local,
when it goes abroad. 1t is matter of
Cumbeney upon each of Kenosha's pa
pers, therefore, to keep itself free from
improper insinuations.
The day went by years ago when it
was thought necessary by the public
for editors to constantly pick fights
with contemporaries. In the early days
Of the older James Gordon Bennett
man was not a successful newspaper
exponent who did not constantly carry
chip on lis shoulder, boy fashion, to
see if he could not induce some one to
Knock it off. That day has been gone
these many years, and the straight as
sertion of that which is true no longer
needs any such bolstering OF school
b0yish tricks.
1t might be we'll for Kenosha to learn
these things and thus save the city's
name from being trailed needlessly in
the mire>
