The breaking of bolt on a carriage
owned by S. l.. Foulk caused serious
runaway yesterday afternoon, in which his
wife and Miss Louise Stllatoe were hurt.
The women we're out driving their inten-
ton being to go out the Newport pike. At
the intersection of Front street and Mary
land avenue the bolt holding one side Of

the shaft broke and the shaft fell, striking
the horse on the leg. This frightened him
and he began to kick. The more he kicked
the harder the shaft hit him and the ami
nal then started out Maryland avenue
with the two frightened women tugging at
the lines.
They managed to keep the horse in the
middle of the street until Linden street
was reached. Here the horse ran close to
the curb and SO close that Miss StillatOe,
who had tainted and fallen in the bottom
Of the carriage, was struck by telegraph
pole on the head and knocked out on the
pavement. Every one who saw the acCi-
dent thought that she was dead. Several
men picked her up and, with their assist
ance, she was able to walk to Samuel Nc
Keever's drug store
In the meantime Mrs. Foulk noticed the
absence CT her companion and leaped from
the carriage. She was cut about the face
and head. The injuries to Miss StillatOe
were the most severe. There was a deep
cut under her eye and several smaller ones
on her head. but none Of them are thought
to be serious. Dr. Baird attended the wo-
men. 1t was over an hour before the wo-
men recoy cred from the shock and could be
sent home.
The buggy was damaged, but the horse
escaped without scratch. He was caught
near the toll-gate.

possibly twice that amount.
With this plant for manufacture, with
tho vast mines In tho Mesaba region for
the raw product, and with eighteen huge
lake vessels to carry tho ore to the very
doors of the works. all owned by the Rookie
feller company, that corporation may be
able to dictate terms to Mr.. Carnegie and
his associates, instead of being dictated to.
Mr.. Rockefeller has had this idea in mind
for several years, but not until now has
he been ready to put it into effect
The iron and stool business-at least that
part of it dealing in steel rails-is con-
trolled entirely by Carnegie and his two
allies, the Illinois Steel company, Of Chi
cago and the Colorado Fuel Iron com
pany, of Pueblo, Colo. The price of rails
at Pittsburg is $2S, ut Chicago 500 at
Pueblo S33. Which ever of these three con-
Germs is dearest the purchaser delivers the
rails, which cannot be had Of any one else.
Mr.. Rockefeller expects to make steel rails
from 20 to so per cent, cheaper than tho
trust can, and can then soil them much
cheaper.
The now mills at South Chicago will
not be confined to the manufacture of
steel rails, however, but will make struc-
tural iron of all sorts as we'll. 1t is stated
further, and on good authority, that Mr..
Rockefeller may GO into tho arlnor plato
business also.

A CHINESE REPUBLIC.
Proposed Plan of the Chinese Pro-
gressive Society.
A BIG WORKING ORGANIZATION.

1t Has Large Membership In This Coun-
try and in Europe, and Is Constantly
Increasing Its Mcmbership-A Decisive
Blow VIII Soon be Struck.
CHICAGO, Dec. 7-According to Wong
Chin Foo, the editor of The Chinese News
In this city, China IL on the eve of an up
heaval such rs Is now going on in Cuba
lie was shown the reports In tho cabics
from London to tho effect TINT Sung fat
Sen, the Chinamun who was kidnapped in
London and only released from the Chi
nese embassy at the specific demand Of
Lord Salisbury, was member of II society
having for it's object the liberation of China
from its present dynasty.
He said that the report was true, and
that he would have preferred to have kept
tho story secret for some time longer, but
as it Is out he wishes to confirm 1t in every
particular. The gist of his statement Is
that there is in the Flowery Kingdom
society callod Hing Chun Woey, which is
allied to the Liberty League of American
izen Cinnamon in this country, and to
similar organization In England. He
said that the object of the organization
was to do away with the exclusiveness OF
the Chinese kingdom and open it to mod
ern civilization. The present dynasty,
according to him, will BIZ asked to get out,
and If it refuses it will be put out. Only
peaceabe methods will at first be EN-
ployed, but if these are not successful,
then an appeal will be made to arms, and
England and tho United Stntes will DO
asked to recognize the reform party US
belligerents.
Wong Chin Foo said that the reason
that Sung Yet Sen was kidnapped by tho
Chinese embassy in London WIS solely be-
cause he was known to be "a member Of
the reform party, and that If the Chinese
government had succeeded in getting him
to China his head would have been cut Oft
at once. The reform movement is sehed-
uled to begin active operations in the very
fti itt,pn
