The Lament of the Goo-Goos.

II the signatures to the protest are gen.

in the dollars necessary TO pay for the
telegram TO Newport comprise the cor
rect number of remonstrants, there can
he only twenty-four Goo-Goos in Provi-
dence, not including our esteemed friend
Mayor McGuinness, Tor the Mayor is a
real Go-Goo, too.
The amount of indignation twenty-four
persons can press into telegram is, of
course, variable and variegated. In
this instance. 1t must have been both
with a tendency 10 be nothing, as the
Legislature promptly passed the bill
tchanging the date OF the Providence mu-
nicipal election, and thereby. every mem
Der brings upon his own particular head
all the choice assortment OF wrath of
whichthe Goo-Goos are capable.
And the more's the pity.
Very many of the Providence reformist
school have been Goo-GooS so long that
to be sized up as anything else is an IN
suit. But cold and Unsympathetic
Legislature has brushed them aside and
deliberately marked them down as set

crat is the very essence OF reform aud the
very embodiment OF excellencies aud vir-
tues never yet discovered in Republican.
That is why Providence has a Demo-
cratic Mayor. II the Legislature had set
aside the bill changing the day OF the
municipal election q Democrat might go
in again. SO the Goo-Goos reason the
thing out and hence their indignation.
They like Mayor McGuinness. They
want more of MIN than they have had.
They are for reform and McGuinness is a
reformer. lie is a Democrat.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Two Persons Hurt Because of the Care
lessness of a Stablemar.

An unknown man was run over and
injured at the junction of Main street
and the Plaza last night about o'clock
by runaway team which he either tried
to stop or failed to get out of the way of
while crossing the street.
Two California district messenger
boys, Clarnece Peck and James P. Reed,
got buggy al livery stable which they
were taking out 10 answer a call for a
rig Two spirited horses were attached.
1t seems that the stableman in putting
in tongue on the buggy in place of the
shafts had to take off the front wheels
and put them back in forgetting to re-
place the nuts.
The boys drove off and when Just in
front of the Baker block both front
wheels of a sudden came off throwing
the boys out and starting the horses on
the run. Peck held to the lines and was
dragged for some distance but finally
had to let go. He sustained a sprained
thumb and bruises, but no serious hurts
AT the crossing by the old Pico house
the unknown man was run down.
The patrol wagon conveyed him to the
receiving hospital, where three-inch
cash in the back of his head was stitched
up, after which he was placed in Jail to
sober up. Peck came along shortly af-
terward to have his thumb attended to,
but Reed managed to escape unscathed.
The runaways were stopped, but not un-
til the buggy was badly smashed up.
The herald., 1896-12-08

Guerrero with the murder of his son.
He believed that Guerrero had COM
mitted the murder after first beating
Pablo because he would not give him
money. when the boy left home he
had several dollars and a knife in his
pockets; when found there was nothing
upon the body, money and knife being
missing. For several years Calzado said
he had had trouble with Guerrero. and
had one night been compelled to knock
him down and tie him to a. tree. as he
was breaking into the house at midnight.
Guerrero had repeatedly threatened
him, his wife and family, and he was
sure that he had intended to complete
his murderous work by attacking him.
He had supported the fellow at his house
for some time out of regard for his wife,
but the snake had turned and bitten him.
Upon the mass of conflicting state
ments made by the two suspects it was
impossible to build theory as to who
really committed the murder. Each man
sticks to his story and each protests
that he is telling the truth. If Pablo
was murdered, as there seems little
doubt, one of them is undoubtedly the
murderer; if the death was the result
Of accident their actions and falsehoods
are ineXplicable. 1t will require time to
unravel the mystery unless one of them
should break down and make a confes-
sion, which seems improbable.
