rietta McCaully.
There was an exciting runaway accident
on the avenue about 10 o'clock this morn

Caully played q most prominent part. Only
the bravery and skill of the driver Of the
vehicle. coupe, containing Mrs. Henrietta
McCaully, Mr.. McCaully's mother, averted
q fatal result.
The carriage, driven by Lewis Meyers. a
young colored man. and drawn by a spirited
horse, was being driven down the avenue
when, at 18th street, the animal became
badly frightened. and dashed down the
avenue at breakneck speed. The horse soon
became unmanageable, and left the street
for the sidewalk. The driver hung to the
reins and successfully avoided all obsta-
cles until the parking at the southwest
corner OF the avenue and 9th street was
reached. There the iron railing around the
parking was struck with great force. The
force Of the collision completely wrecked
the carriage, throwing Mrs. McCaully out
and the driver from his box. Mrs. Nc
Caully was picked up in a semi-uncon-
scious condition and carried across the
avenue to Scheller & Stevens drug store,
the Emergency Hospital ambulance being
telephoned for. Meyers escaped with a
bruised arm and head. The horse was Tn
injured.
Mrs. McCaully soon recovered, and the
young doctor accompanying the ambu-
lance, after a short examination. gave 1t
as his opinion that she had escaped serious
injury, although suffering somewhat from
shock. She refused to go to the hospital.
and later was driven to her home, 523 18th
street. In the collision Mrs. McCaully lost
her pocketbook containing between SIG and

that the young physician accompanying

DIR. coN1M,s VISIT.
New Rector of Ousholic University in
the city.

New Rector of CnahOlfc University I'm
the city.
Rev. DR.. Thomas J. Conaty, the successor
to Bishop Keane as rector Of the Catholic
University, paid a brief visit to this city
late yesterday afternoon. He came over
from Baltimore. whittier he was summoned
to conference with Cardinal Gibbons.
Upon his arrival i'm this city he proceeded
directly to the residence Of Archbishop
Martinelli to pay his respects to the papal
representative. His1stay there was a short
one. and on leaving she drove at once to
the Catholic University. where he was
warmly greeted by DR. Garrigan, the act
Ing rector of the university, and an in
formal reception was held, when the men,
hers OF the faculty and a number Of the
students availed themselves OF the oppor-
tun1ty TO meet the new rector.
Dr. Conaty left the university late last
evening. During his stay ne declined to say
anything for publication with reference to
his future as the head Of the university.
He Is an old friend of DR.. Garrigan, and he
said that his visit was merely for the pur-
pose OF meeting the professors and looking
over the field of his future labors. DR..
Conaty Will not enter upon his new duties
until after the Christmas holidays, and 1t
Is believed that one of the reasons for his
brief visit to the university was that he
might have a chance to discuss with DR..
Garrigan the plans for his installation. The
nature Of these ceremonies has not yet been
decided upon, but they will doubtless be
both interesting and impressive.

THROUGH THE HOUSE.


From Burglars.
w. 8. Crawford, q letter carrier, resides

northwest, in three-story and basement
house. It IL more than likely, however,
that II Mr.. Crawford should move in the

with the latter advantage. or disadvantage,
as 1t proved in this case. Mr.. Crawford
generally eats his supper with his family
In the basement of the house between the
hours Of and o'clock. and last Tuesday
evening the family repaired as usual to
that part Of the house without taking any
extra precautions to prevent inquisitive
people from entering the front door unob-
served. Mrs. Crawford thought she heard
noise at just about the conclusion of the
meal. and going upstairs she was con-
fronted with scene that very much re-
sembled the devastation left by q full
grown cyclone. Clothes and wraps were
streWn over the floor in the second story,
where the thieves had been partic ularly
active. while the parlor looked as though
large party OF relic hunters had made
It's way through 1t. Bureau drawers were
ransacked. trunks thrown open and their
contents spread out on the floor and the
thieves left nothing that could possibly be
OF value to them, even going far TO
take several articles of infants clothes.
Inc circumste noes we're such to make
MRS. crawford particularly apprehensive
when she first saw the wreck of her
apartments. because she had left the
baby asleep on one of the two beds in a
room on tie second floor Naturally she
locked in the wrong bed first, and the
shock at not finding her baby there proved
almost too much for her. and she was ex-
trenely III all day yesterday. The thieves
were IN such hurry to get away with
their booty that a vest belonging to Mr..
Crawford was dropped near the front door,
while bunch of violets that were sewed
tightly to Mrs. Crawfords hat, which had
been left lying on the piano, were strewn
over the vestibule. Mr.. Crawford reported
the robbery at once to the third precinct
and Precinct Detective McGlue was assign
ed to the case Mr.. Crawford thinks there
were several thieves in the party and that
one stayed outside to watch while his pals
went through the house. They must have
mad ample time in which to complete their
ope re tic rs on account of the extreme care
which they took in looking at every article
OF value on the entire two floors. Since the
report was made by Mr.. Crawford he has
discovered a good many more things that
nave been taken, and he says his loss will
foot up good many dollars Of hard-earned
mOrey

No Unjust Reflection Intended

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
My attention has been called to an edi-
torlai article In your paper of December 7.
referring to some remarks that I made at
meeting Of New York state bankers the
ether day. The remarks were wholly ex-
temporary and are not reported with literal
correctness. OF course, we In New York.
after a heated polical campaign, in which
we nave been somewhat Numerically
abused by our friends in the Rocky noun
talns, must be pardoned for a little desire
10 MT back In good-natured way I GER
talniy had no intention Of being taken al
together seriously in my reference to the
states of Idaho. Utah, Wyoming and Mon
tana- l think they were admitted little pre-
maturely, and might have been kept wait
Ing little longer until the population was
larger, but they are peopled by Americans
and men OF our own kith and kim and
they were certainly entitled to be in our
family or states sooner later, and there
Is no sort of analogy between their case
and that Of Cuba and Hawaii, the vast
majority or whose population are of differ
emit races from our own. l should be very
sorry to have my many friends in the new
states OF the Union think that l intended
to make any unjust reflections upon their
states as such. My main desire was to
call attention to the disparity between
their population and their relative power In
Congress as compared with the older and
far larger states.
Yours, very truly,
