CIR USRED By A COLT.
Probably Fatal Injuries Sustained by a
Los Angeles Child.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. IA most
singular accident occurred here last even
ing. Edna, the seven-year-old daughter
of Thomas W. Barton of Wilmer street,
undertook to play as familiarity with a
recently purchased colt as she was wont
to do with the old ia mily horse which her
father had lately sold. The child placed
herself between the front legs of the colt,
which did not like such familiarity, and
either stepped on or squeezed her SO she
cried out. A little girl companion
screamed in fright, and the mother rushed
out of the house in terror.
The screams of the woman and the chill
dren seemed to terrorize the colt, ana the
animal pulled upon its halter rope un til
its body touched the ground with the lit
tie girl beneath him. The entire weight
Of the colt bore upon the child, whose
head was crushed into the ground. DR..
Westlake found ruptured artery at the
base of the chilo's brain and gives the
opinion that she will die.

Fatal Fail of a Bisbee Mon.

YUMA, ARIz., Aug. flames O. Boyle,
a miner from Bisbee, jumped from Sec
ond story of Modestl's Block last night
and, as a consequence, died this afternoon
at O clock. O'Boyle had been under the
influence of liquor for several days past,
and went to bed last night in that con-
dltion. 1t is not thought that he jun ped
off the porch with the intention of COM
hitting suicide; more probably he
thought he was walking downstairs, as
the place from which he fell was near a
stairs step. He fell distance of more than
twenty feet.

her choice, but their objections were set

young lady embraced the opportunity to
run away with Joseph and be duly mar

with license the day before. The parents

NOT YET A LAW.
The Dingley Bill Not Responsible for
Hard Tfmes.

No tariff, however wisely planned, can
be expected to regenerate business be-
fore it is put in force.
In many quarters there is tendency
to blame the Dingley bill, and, Incl
dentally, the whole republican party be
cause the good times and abundant cash
of 1892 have not come in with Mckin-
ley's inauguration,
The best pillow turns no furrow till
it is taken to the field. The new tariff
cannot accomplish much until it gets
to work. AS it still has the senate to
face, it does not even know what it's
pattern and capabilities may be after
passing through that ordeal.
If the Dingley bill, after six months
of trial, cannot show substantial re-
suits in way of revived business activity
and confidence, then it may fairly be
blamed for disappointing the hopes of
the nation.
The mere expectation of stif pro-
tective tariff has already had astrength-
ening effect upon business. On every
side, under the influence OF new hopes,
trade and industries are slowly but
surely advancing. Many mills and fac
tories, closed under an administration
of theorists. have resumed work. Thou
sands of operatives, long idle, are back
at their FORCES and their looms.
But anticipation of demand, though
it may stir the wholesale trade, has lit
tie effect upon the retailers. These de-
pend upon the free cash in the pockets
of the people. And no very large in
crease in this direction can reasonably
be expected until the new tariff gets
down to its daily work.-Illustrated
