ONLY ONE, LARS JOHNSON
SERIOUSLY HURT.
A Bad Accident in a Tunnel at the
Cement Works Wednesday--John-
son, Badly Cut and With a Broken
Limb, Removed to the Hospital In
an Unconscious COndition--H Will
Probably Recoverable Other Three
nen Only Slightly Injured.

A bad accident in tunnel at the
cement works Wednesday resulted in
the infection Of serious injury to one
of the workmen, Lars johnson, and
slight injuries to three other work
men, Christ Jacobson, VIM. Winkey
and Peter Jorgenson. The four men
were prying on large stone with
crow bars, and a pocket of clay back
of them gave way and fell into the
tunnel. The last three men named
became frightened and dropped their
bars, fearing that the rock was COM
ing down and that their safety was
endangered. This move on their part
threw the entire weight of the stone
upon johnson, and he was thrown
backward against it with great force
and his crow bar fell across his lower
limbs. He was rendered unconscious
by the accident, and the other men
were slightly injured.
John Klein's undertaking wagon
was telephoned for, and Johnson was
removed to Tourtellotte hospital.
The other three men were hit by the
falling clay, but able to 60 to their
homes, and as their injuries are not
at all serious and in the nature of
bruises they will 5000 be at work
again.
Drs. Andrews and Webster were
summoned to dress Johnson's injuries
at the hospital, and were at work up
on him, assisted by couple of the
trained nurses, when FREE PRESS
reporter called. johnson had not
recovered consciousness, but it was
the belief of the physicians that he
would recover. His worst injury is a
deep cash eight inches long III the
left arm pit, where he came against
sharp edge Of the stone. The cut
completely severed one of the large
muscles, and the ends had to be
brought together with cat gut.
Seventeen stitches were taken tC
close the wound. Johnson's right
ankle was broken. his left
elbow was painfully bruised, and one
finger of his right hand was crushed
1t is thought that he received no in
ternal injuries.
johnson is large, well built man
about 35 years old, and lives near the
cement works. His family lives in the
old country. There is little doubt
that he will recover, the principal
danger being from the shock to his
system.
No one in particular is held blame
worthy, as it was an accident that nc
one could foresee.

"THE FOOL IN POLITICS."
James Clements Ambrose Makes An
Eloquent Plea That He be Sup
planted by the Scholar.

1t is a matter of regret that there
was not larger audience in attend
ance at the lecture by James Clement
Ambrose at the Presbyterian church
Tuesday evening, on 'The Fool in
Politics.. The lecture was a fine one,
full of good points. The lecture
was of a nature that such a synopsis
as we might be able to give of it
would in no sense do it Justice. 1t
was carefully prepared criticism on
the manner in which political affairs
are managed in this country, plea
for higher ideals and broader intelli-
gence. He would have the fool and
the ignorant in politics crowded out,
or as he termed it, clicked OUT" and
the intellectual man, the man with
higher views of morality put in their
place. He would have it the scholar
in politics rather than the fool, and
believed that in sense every
christian should be politician. The
man, he said, who is too good for
politics is out of place on earth, and
politics are filthy only when the
filthy get hold of them. AS now
conducted. he thought selfishness
largely dominated politics. The idea
is to get rich, if possible. by legisla-
tion, in fact, he said, selfshness in a
large part promotes much of the
legislation. The voter, he said,
should be educated, and we should
stop importing so much ignorance.
He believed that the ballot should be
placed in the hands of women if, as
Lincoln said "this is government of
the people, by the people, for the
people" then the women are not
people, for they have no part in max
ing it, and man is living with brute
or-an angel.
He further believed that some at.
teDtion should be paid to posterity,
That our laws regarding marriage
should be far more strict, and that
marriage of paupers, idiots, criminals
should be strictly prohibited. If the
propagation of the human species
in case of insanity is bad, so he re-
garded it in the case of confirmed
paupers, criminals and drunkards.
These were some of the points he
touched upon, and handled in gooo
shape. He is a fine word painter anc
some of his descriptions were most
beautiful.

JOHNSON CASE NON SUITED.
It Comes to a Sudden Termination in
Circuit Court.

The case Of Patrick johnson VS.. the
United States Express company came
to very sudden and lnglorious end in
the circuit court this morning. Just
after the opening of the mornings ses-
sion and after the jury had been polled
the defense interjected a motion for a
non-suit on the ground that the plain
tifrs attorney had failed to show in his
case that the defendant company was a
corporation. The point was a purely
technical one and was argued at great
length by Gen. Winkler for the de-
Tense and by Colin Fyfe for the
plaintiff.
Judge Fish held that the point of the
defense was well taken and allowed the
motion for the Don-suit. The plaintiff
entered an exception and the case was
off.
The case was one in which Mr.. john
son sued the Express company for
$4,000 for alleged injuries received by
reason of an alleged collision between
his buggy and a wagon of the company
driven by j. L. Stevens, Jr. The col
lision was said to have taken place
near the end of Elizabeth street in
February of 1896.

Obituary.

William CORTLAND McVicar was born
in the town of Brighton, Kenosha
county, on June %, 1861, and died at
his late residence in Bristol on Satur-
day, March 20, aged 80 years, 8months
and % days. He was the eldest son
and first born of Mr.. and Mrs. W. E.
McVicar. On May 10, 1898, he was
married to Miss Nellie Kellogg. Rev.
J. Ell. Cameron performed the marriage
ceremony. His fatal sickness was
Bright's disease and during his illness
he suffered much pain. His death
came with a sudden shock. His ply
stefan had not given up hope of carry
ing him through the acute stages of
the disease and his wife rested on the
assumption that in a month or two he
would recover his health. He, though,
altogether doubted his recovery and
expressed himself as having no fears of
death, his only regret being the leav-
ing of his family. He had insured his
life for $4,000 for their benefit. He
leaves a wife to fight alone the battle of
life and two little ones to suffer the loss
of loving fathers care. The funeral
was held on Monday from the house.
The funeral discourse was given by
Rev. J. Fl. Cameron from the text,
80 Death, where is thy sting O
grave, where is thy victory 2" Mr..
McVicar had during his few years
residence in Woodwork gained the
respect and good will Of his neighbors.
He was member in good standing Of
the Bristol Camp, Modern Woodmen,
and the society took full charge Of the
funeral. Interment was made in Pad.
dock graveyard, Salem, on the Geneva
road, according to his wish expressed
during his sickness.

A Long Session Promised.

| 1t is clearly the desire of the leaders
of both houses of the present legisla
ture to bring the session to a close
within ninety days, says the Austin
correspondent OF the News. The
twenty. fourth remained in session
about four months, and in so dom g
challenged great deal of unfavorable
criticism. This the new members will
endeavor to avoid They are plainly
here for business. 1t is already ap-
parent that they will not look
favorably on political clap-trap
and elongated harangues. In the
house the entire opposition to the dem
ocracy is less than a dozen, and bear
ing this in mind, the wise leaders logic
ally contend that there is no occasion
for political warfare. They are not
here to build political history, and if
they were, they are sensible enough to
know that the best way to do it is to
economic by completing their labors
and returning to their homes.
AS against that is the patent fact
that some of the youngsters are deter
mined to make records, if 1t takes all
summer. Many Of them are making as
much in their service to the state as
they could possibly earn elsewhere, and
do not appreciate the hurry. Hence,
unless Mr.. Dashiell intrenches certain
leaders by rendering them valuable as
sistance, the solons will be here in

Saddle Horses i'll Mexico.

| There is practically no market ii
! Mexico for American saddle horses
| Occasionally one is sold, the price us
ually being in the neigh bOrhOOd of $500
The MeXicans, however, prefer the Ia
tive horses for saddle purposes, for the
reason that they are better accustomed
to Mexican methods of driving. One
might in the course of time be able to
dispose of a few saddle horses, but any
thing like steady market could not be
depended upon.
Single horses are so little used in
this country that they may be counted
out of the question. Teams well
matched are worth from $500 to 81 900,
and by ''welI-matched' in this market
is meant horses which are alike in
color, gait, size, disposition, carriage
of head, etc. In this city, there are,
on an average, about one hundred
teams sold each year. Outside OF this
city, there is practically no sale for
matched horses except in the cities of
Guadalajara and Puebla, with an oc-
casiOnal sale at Monterey and San
Luis PotOsi. In Guadalaiara. if you
happen to strike the market at time
when no other dealer has been around
for three or four months, it is possible
to dis pose of several teams; if immedi-
ately on the trail of some one else,
nothing can be done. There are st
present in this city six parties who are
engaged in the business of importing
fine horses, and five or six others who
bring in second-grade animals.
The duty on geldings is $40: on stall
lions and mares SIS each, irrespective
of value. If affidavit be made that the
animals are being brought in for breed
ing purposes. it is possible. after coz
siderable delay, provided the stock is
registered, 20 obtain q refund of the
duty paid: 1t being the policy OF the
government to admit such animals
free.-TwO Republics.

Worse Than Cholera.

There were nearly 5000 cases Of con
sumption in New York City last year
and nearly 5000 persons died of it. The
hoard of health reports that nearly all
of this suffering ard death can be pre-
vented by treating the disease as com.
municable one, like smallpox or diph-
liberia. At present from 80 to 80 per
sons in New York are stricken every
day because the sputum of consump-
tives is not safely disposed Of Hence
it is urged, hospital should be started
of which the board of health should
have charge, for the exclusive care OF
the city's consumptives. There is no
escape from this conclusion of the
board, for consumption has more vic
tins in New York than all other COM
municable diseases put together.-Ex.
