A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Sudden Descent of a Horse Into Hole
i'm the Sidewalk.

A lively runaway, and one that ex-
cited considerable interest at the wind
up, started on Third street, between J
and K, yesterday morning about half
past 9 o'clock.
The team attached to the big ice
wagon of the Union Ice Company got
loose and started up the street at a flu
rious pace. At Sixth and I street they
ran up on the sidewalk and against the
railing in front of the office of Faris &
Spinks. that protected an opening made
to furnish light for the basement, tear
ing it down. The hole is only about
four feet by two and half, but as one
of the horses fell on the walk and broke
the railing he disappeared from view in
an instant. Those who saw the runa-
way could not believe their eyes. and
ran to the spot. There, sure enough,
was the horse, doubled up in the bot
tom of the hole. which is about eight
feet deep, unable to help himself
Two or three partitions had to be
broken through. under the sidewalk, be-
fore he could be extricated and re-
moved into the alley, when he was
found to be apparently but little in

Rivett's Clothes Recovered, But Not
the Man Who Took Them.

On May ID Harry Rivett, who con-
ducts carpet beating establishment at
Twelfth and o streets, reported to the
police that two overcoats, cutaway
coat, lady's shoulder cape and Fe-
dora hat had been stolen from his place
of business
About the same time w Lawrence,
who resides at 1925 Third street, re-
ported that an entire suit of clothes,
including a hat, had been stolen from
his home
Chief of Police Drew Immediately de-
tailed officer Pennish on the case and
it was not long before the officer, as
sisted by the Chief, succeeded in To-
eating the stolen property in two sec
ond-hand stores, one on Second, the
other on K street, both owned by the
same man.
The proprietor Of the store did what
he could toward furnishing a descrip-
ton of the thief. and officer Pennish
is inclined to believe that the clothing
was stolen by the same party who
distracted Attorney L. T. Hatfield s
Overcoat, which was recently recovered
by Sergeant McManus at an old house
near Thirteenth and K streets
Officer Pennish believes the thief is
not now in the city. and is inclined to
believe that he was informed that the
police had a good description of him.
Messrs. Rivett and Lawrence have
identified the stolen articles.

MAKING INVENTORIES.
State Officials Hustling to Comply
With the Law.

Many of the State officers, boards,
complying with the new law providing
that an inventory of all the property
used by them belonging to the State
chall be made by May 9th. In the Gov
ernor's office half of the force was en-
ployed counting the hundred and one
articles from cuspidors to law libraries.
The same might be said for all other
officials who had not already complied
with the provisions of the new law, and
a number of them had put the matter
off till the last moment. The law which
caused all the trouble reads as follows:
Section /. 1t shall be the duty of all
State officers, boards and commissions
of every kind, having in charge prop
erty belonging to the State, to make
an inventory thereof within ninety days
from and after the passage of this Act,
and also on or before the 31st day of
December, 1898, and biennially thereaf-
ter. of all property purchased with
State money, and in their keeping The
report of said inventory shall, under
oath, be made to the State Board of

The resolution was adopted, Nc

Judge McKune said that the Trustees
of Suffer Island We're in danger OF
being injured by delay of the board in
acting on their petition for road
around the island. They only asked
that the board would take action in
fixing a grade for it in order that the
material can be retained in place and
not blown away. He asked the board,
in case the members could not go down,
to have some person act for it in fixing
the grade, so that the work can be
speedily accomplished.
Morrison said that he believed that
it was the intention of the board, after
the adjournment of this meeting, to
take a trip over the roads of the county
and inspect them, and he was ready to
go on any day next week that the board
decided on.
1t was finally decided that the board
would go down on Tuesday morning.

DAMAGES FOR BLACKLIsTING.
Case Successfully Pushed Against North
western Railroad.


Chicago, November 18.-Fred R. Ketch-
am was awarded a verdict Of $2l, ,66S by
the jury in Judge Clifford's court to-day
in his sut against the Northwestern
Railroad for $4,000 damages for black
listing.
The case of Ketcham against the
Northwestern company has been on trial
for nearly three weeks and has been OF
great interest to men employed in the
railroad business.
During the great strike of the Ameri-
can Railway Union, Ketcham was en-
ployed as a conductor for the North
western Railroad. He joined the strik-
ers and the evidence showed he attended
some of the meetings in the interest OF
the A. II. U. Since the strike Ketcham
claims he has been unable to secure
steady employment owing to the fact
that he was blacklisted. He obtained
several positions with other roads, but
after working short time, was dis
charged, he alleged, without cause.
Not long ago Ketcham secured en-
ployment with the Michigan Central Ele-
vator Company, at KensingtOn, and
moved his family to that suburb. He
worked short time there and was dis
charged. The trial throughout was a
hotly contested one on both sides and
some interesting incidents occurred
Once during the trial Judge Clifford was
asked to issue bench warrants for the
arrest OF T. B. Lawrence, Superintendent
Of the Wisconsin division of the North
western road and E. e. Osborn, attorney
for the company. 1t was represented to
the court by the plaintiffs attorney that
Lawrence and Osborn and possibly other
officials of the road had attempted to in
duce Andrew Stader, who had been sub
poenaed for the plaintiff to leave the
city for the purpose of avoiding the sum-
mons of the court. Judge Clifford at the
time refused the request, and the matter
is still pending, as his honor said he
would institute an investigation after
the case was sent to the jury. Many wit
nesses for both sides were heard during
the trial, and at each session of the court
the room was crowded with men who
claimed to have been deprived of work
in the same manner as the plaintiff.
The case will probably be appealed.

Equipment Of Safety Appliances.

Washington, November 19.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission desires to
correct the recently published statement
that only the New York Central and the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroads
are fully equipped with safety appli-
ances.
Our of 436 roads that have reported to
the Commissioner in the matter Of safety
appliances, seventy-flve roads, or 1920
per cent. will be equipped with auto
matte couplers by January l, 1898.

against allowing the roads any extension
of time for completing the equipment

ances, but what action will be taken by
the organizations of employees and other
representatives of labor through their
executive officers is as yet unknown.
