the confectoner, had a most remarkable ex-
perience with street car shortly after 5
O'Clock this afternoon, in which he narrowly
escaped serious If not fatal injury
He was driving up Washington avenue at
the time, and before reaching the viaduct
thought he would take Third street up He
turned his horses across the street without
taking the precaution of looking back A
Riverside car was coming along at the time,
and the motorman had no time to stop, as
the, drivers turn was rather sharp. The
horses had just barely gotten across when
the collision occurred. How the young man
escaped so as to be able to tell the tale
appears to be a. mystery. He is hardly able
to realize it himself In moment he felt
himself flying through the air, after which
he was picked up in a stunned condition from
the hard snow. AS the motorman Of the street
car turned on the brakes Immediately the
damage to the sleigh was not as great as
1t might have been. The front runners were
loosened in some manner, and the horses
took to their heels, and ran up Tenth avenue.
They were subsequently caught at Sixth street
and Eighth avenue. Aside from a severe
fright, young Dunsmoore was uninjured, and
was able to assist in the picking UP of
caramel drops and bon bons that were
spilled about in the neighborhood The horses
were also found to be uninjured.

AN AMERICAN ENGINEER INVOLVED
His Claim for Five Million Dollars
InvaIfdated by the Stand As
sumed-WOlcOtt's Work.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The action of the
volksraad as cabled from Johannes
burg in adopting a law by which any
judgment Of the high court can be
annulled by the volksraad, rendering
all contracts and concessions unsafe,
has caused a great stir here. The mat
ter arose over a dispute between an
American engineer, r. F. Brown, and
the Transvaal government, with ref
erence to mining claim which Brown
pegged out. The volksraad, at the in
stance Of the government, passed a law
multiplying his claim. This law was
decided by the high court on Jan. %
to be contrary to the constitution, and
Brown, who had sued the government
for a declaration of rights in his fa-
vor, or, in default, demanding $1,000 600.
won his suit. President Kruger has
now procured from the volksraad a
law which prevents the judges from
overruling any statute on the ground
of unconstitutionality. The attorney
general has stated that the new law
will enable the volksraad to confiscate
property without compensation, and
his statement has caused consterna-
ton in the Rand and has excited the
mining market. On the stock ex-
change frightened holders Of various
stocks are throwing their shares on
the market, and heavy declines have
ensued.
There is continuous comment pro-
voked by the free and easy way in
which the parliamentary inquiry into
the Jameson raid is being conducted.
The committeeman, Col. Cecil Rhodes
and counsel have assumed the air OF
a pleasant family party.
Mr.. Labouchere's examination Of the
witness proceeded during the luncheon
period, and. as the mouths of both
questioner and answerer were occasion
ally full of sandwiches, the encounter
lacked dignity. Col. Rhodes usually
replies to questions with short lectures
on empire-making. He is now perfect
ly at home, smiling, nodding and pre-.
facing his replies with friendly asides.
