-Four veterans from tile Soldiers Home
met with Il serious runaway accident about
6 O'Clock yesterday evening al tie jun otion
of the Brentwood and Queens Chapel
roads. They were Samuel Garter, Andrew
Giosch, John Williams and Patrick Scan
Ion. The latter is perhaps fatally injured.
He was taken TO the Soldiers Home hos
pital.
owing TO the fact that the Fourth of
July fell upon sunday this year, the day
was quiet one at the Home, the authori
ties having decided to do what celebrating
would be done ON Monday. The four
old soldiers whose patriotism had carried
theH To the front thirty years ago, could
not endure u allow the day TO pass without
s0p,e sort OF an observance. They pro-
cd Il horse and surrey and drove away
earty tn the day for good, old-fashioned
Celebration. III the course of their drive
they reached the RAMS Horn Inn, on the
Bladenshurg road, several miles beyond
the boundary. There the Sunday liquor
laws are not SO rigid as III the city, and
the veterans drank considerable whisky,
so that hy the time they left the place
they were III a daredevil state OF iugoXi-
cation
They drove at a high rate OF speed down
the road, and at the junction Of the Brent
wood and Queens Chapel roads attempted
TO make turn into the latter high gay. As
they did the horse became frightened
at some object by the road side, and
plunged sidewise, upsetting the We hicle
into a ditch and throwing the occupants
out. The thoroughly frightened animal
then dashed madIy toward the city, and
was not captured until it had reached
Florida avenue.
When help reached the unfortunate vet
Grams all except Carter were found TO be
seriously injured. They were taken in and
cared Tor at a farmhouse until a telegram
was sent 10 the Baltimore and Ohio station
asking that the police he notified ana an
ambulance sent 10 the place Carter was
| placed in the custody of an officer, who
locked him up iii No. station on the
charge OF Gisordcrly conduct, while the
other three were removed to the Soldiers
Home Hospital. Williams and GroSCh were
badly cut and bruised, but it is expected
that they VIII recover. Scanlon, however,
was internally injured in addition to cuts
| ana bruises. and u IS feared mat owing 10

The vehicle was entirely demolished and

LABOR LEADERS OBJECT
Protest Against Employing Prison
ers in the District Jail.
An Injustice Is Done to Homes
Wor liugmen by the Order, They
AIipge New York system.

The order of court in general term, IS
sued Saturday, authorizing Warden Leon
ard to utilize the prisoners in the county
jail for general work in and about that
institution is severely criticised By the
members of organized labor in the District,
and is characterized by the leaders as "A
great wroug peTpetrated ON honest work
inguen, ana is calculated TO drive them
10 starvation and possibly crime
Mr. william II Maya ahn, president of me
ETicklayers Union, was very outspnken on
the subject The Government, he said, ap-
propriated money for the support of the
institution and Mr.. Leonard ought to be
satisfied In reference to the brick wall
which is 10 be built. he said, money had
been appropriated for that particularly
and the giving of tlns work to the prison
ers would be nothing more or less than rob
bng the workmen Of the District of an op-
pOT:unity To make an honest living, and 50
it is with all other work TO be done at
the jail
Mr. James F McHugh, ex-preSdent OF
the local Federation of Labor; Milford
Spohn. president of the Central Labor
Union, and William Silver, president Of the
Building Trades Council, also condemned
the proposition in unmeasured terms.
Action like this, it was said, had driven
the honest toiIers i'll Ohio 10 the prison
doors, begging for even the crImbs
which fell from the convicts' table. 1t
is unfair, they say, to the honest wage
earners OF the District, who contribute
to the support of the Government in
taxes, that they should be compelled 20
&c into competition with convict labor
which they aretaxed to support.

LET me know" he said, 1.-The object
of your visit
l replied, to hear about the narrow
escape his daughter had recently eX-
perienced.
1.-The tale,' he said, lis very short.
my daughter came home from India,
and when I joined her in London l
found her i'll in bed. She had rheu-
matte and neuralgia pains; she was per
fectly bloodless, listless, and in gen
orally weak and PROSTATE condition.
A doctor was seen, but she remained
absolutely colOrleSs, was in great
wretchedness and suffering from an
aemia or bloodlessness. She had kind
of fever, nervous headache and other
pains. Well, l heard of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. My daugh-
ter took some, and the first box had
a marvellous effect. She regained her
color, lost her pains and became alto
gether different. She had quite glow
upon her. She went on taking the
pills. and am glad to tell you that she
recovered completely. 1 recommended
DR.. Williams Pink Pills to all with
whom [ came in contact, and all who
took them derived great benefit there
from.
81 have a sister at Jersey, and she
has taken them for a very long time,
and has always recommended them to
other people, and found them to do
great deal of good to all to whom she
! has recommended them; and 1, myself,
when l have heard Of people being Ill,
have taken them or sent them some OF
these Pills"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills directly en-
rich and purify the blood, and thus 1t
is that they are so famous for the cure
of anaemia, rheumatism, scrofula and
chronic erysipelas. They are also
splendid nerve and spinal tonic. and
thus have cured many cases OF paraly-
sis, locomotor ataXy, neuralgia, st. VT
