Report that President Cleveland Was In
jured Was Untrue.


Washington. April 22-An accident to
the team which President Cleveland was
driving to Woodley this evening caused
alarming statements as to the safety OF
the president to spread quickly over the
city. Mr.. Cleveland left the White House
at $50 o'clock and Just after crossing the
car track on the elty's boundary. the
nigh horse slipped and fell The other
horse. becoming frightened. plunged
about and himself fell over The pole OF
the carriage and on top OF his mate. A
large crowd gathered and the frightened
horses were quieted. The president had
remained cool and stepped from the Vic
toria. BY cutting some OF the harness
the horsese were liberated.
II is stated at the White House that
the horses OF President Cleveland's car
riage did not run away this afternoon,
but that one of the horses stumbled and
broke the harness, thus causing delay.
Gardiner Hubbard was passing in his
carriage and the president continued the
ride to Woodley with him. He was not
thrown out or injured, nor was the car
/ riage harmed.
IA special dispatch to the Astorian
from Washington yesterday afternoon
conveyed the intelligence that the pres
ident's carriage horses had run away
and that the chief executive was thrown

UNCLE JESS.
The Danville Dreamer. in Vision Has
Seen Major Mckinley Nominated.


Danviile, Ky. April 'L-Reed. Morton,
Bradley and other aspirants for the Re
publican nomination for president may
just as well step down ami out. Nc
Kinley is going TO get it. Uncle Jess
Reyst0n OF Polly's Bend. Gerard coun-
ty. has dreamed it. and all OF Uncle
Jess.'s dreams come true.
A few years ago. Just the time that
certain great running race was TO be con-
tested, Uncle Jess, who has always been
an admirer OF the gr sat thoroughbred
horse. dreamed that he saw the race,
saw the winnar finish good and strong
and get the purse. He .old his friends
about II, they plunged, anil won.
When Cleveland was Arst nominated
.or the presidency and two months be-
fore the election took place, Uncle Jess
dreamed that he was going TO be elected.
He told his friends and nsighbora about
il. and they laughed at him. He told
them that they could laugh all they
wanted to, but Cleveland would be elect
ed. and he would bet u million on 1t II
he had the money. Cleveland was
elected.
Now he says Mckinley is going to be
nominated The other night he dreamed
he was at the convention and says that
il was simply a case Jf Mckinley first
and the rest nowhere. He says that
Mckinley is as certain to be nominated
as two and two make four. His neigh
bors, too, having faith in Uncle Jess. be-
lieves that this settles II so far as the
nomination Is concerned. Uncle Jess
dreamed that Bradley was going to be
elected governor OF Kentucky, and that
dream was considered so absurd that his
most faithful followers were about to
desert him. but it only went to make his
reputation more secure.
Uncle Jess Is now working on dream
| that he believes will bring him a for
tune. For many years there has been
current in Garrard county. around about
POlly's Bend. story to the effect that
a famous miscr who once lived there
\ abouts died and left an immense fortune
| in gold. which was concealed in an iron
/ box and buried near his cabin. Uncle
/ Jess Royston has been working on this
case for some time. He has dreamed
| that the gold exists and is buried in his
| neighborhood. but so far has heen un-
able to dream OF the spot wherein 1t
/ lies. Several times he has started out
! in his dreams, but somehow or other
/ has always been thrown on the track
| by some untoward influence. However
/ this may fail. it can be set down that
Mckinley will be nominated.
