A Lively Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon the team of
horses owned by Pierson and Davis
and attached to the delivery wagon
owned by VIM. Schooley came into
town from Gold Canyon on the
dead run with no driver on the
wagon. The team turned out of
Main street at Barton's barn, and
running into the fence back of
Pierinl's place, stopped. Ruby was
driving the team home from Vir-
ginia with a load of castings and
provisions for Davis, when at
point about half a mile up the can
yon he fell off the wagon from an
attack of sunstroke or some other
cause and the horses started to run.
The wagon evidently ran over
Ruby as his right ankle is either
broken or dislocated, and his chest
is considerably bruised. Jack Lof-
tus and young Lentz brought the
injured man home and DIR. Huffa-
ker was telegraphed for, but had
not arrived as the TIMES went to
press last evening. The only dam
age done to the rig was the spring
ing of an axle and the breaking of
the lines.

Welcome to Miles

From the New York Journal. ' General Miles may have a cool welcome at Washington, but he will have warm one from the people. Americans like man who does well what he has to do. It happened that the conquest of Porto Rico offered no serious military difficulties. That was General Miles fortune or misfortune, as the case may be. But the strategic dispositions of the American commander were such as would have insured success. whatever the obstacles in the way. Perhaps if the in- vading army had been less scientifically handled, there might have been more de- termined resistance.
 But there were other than strictly mil- tary considerations to be taken into ac- count. Porto Rico has nearly a million in- habitants, all fed for generations upon weird romances about Yankee savagery. A general without tact or courtesy-one ac- customed to despise all natives and to roar profane insults at everybody that crossed his path whenever the gout twinged his foot or his too solid flesh began to melt in the tropic heats-might have turned all these people into vindictive enemies, and made the conquest of the island a weary and heart-breaking work. General Miles made them enthusiastic friends, eager to proclaim themselves Americans and smooth the way for our advance.
 And 1t is not the Porto Rico campaign alone for which he deserves credit. He prevented a retreat from Santiago and the abandonment, by a panic-stricken general in hammock at the rear, of positions won by the bravery of our soldiers at needless cost of gallant lives.
 Moreover, he is bringing his army back in fit condition to wage another campaign. His troops are strong enough to parade, if they had permission. They are soldiers, not ghastly skeletons.
 General Miles never sacrificed his men to his own vanity. He gave them every ad- vantage in his power. He did not allow jealousy of the navy to deprive his troops of support that would save their strength and their lives. He tried to accomplish the greatest results at the smallest possible cost.
 The American people feel that with com- manders like Miles they could undertake any enterprise. Under such commanders the army would do its work with the same beautiful precision and the same ecopomy of life that we admire in the navy. There fore:
 Three cheers for Miles!

PEACE CELEBRATION.
About Decided to Hold It In Mo-
 Vember

There were no new developments on the status of affairs of the Peace Jubilee yes- terday.
 Two of the committee on invitation which has been to Washington to invite President Mckinley to be present, returned yester- day. They were H. Aldrich and E. w. Bar rett They both confirmed the dispatches which have been sent from Washington during the last few days, saying that it would be impossible for the president to come in October, but that he would cer- tainly visit Birmingham in November if he went to Jacksonville to review General Lees corps; and he said 1t was very prob able that he would make the southern trip.
 Both gentlemen agreed that it would be better to postpone the jubilee to November, as has been suggested. Representative Underwood and others of the committee are expected back tomorrow, and the prob- ability is that a meeting of the committees will be called for Monday night to decide upon the day in November on which the celebration will be held, and to make other arrangements for pushing the work

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, September 9.-Bradstreet's fi- nancial review tomorrow will say:
 Speculation has again been irregular during the week just ended and profes- sional influences were apparent through out in contrast with the recent activity of the outside public The rise in the money market has created caution all though the feeling is that god imports, or action by the government to check it's accumulation of funds, will prevent any stringency. The sharp decline of foreign exchange is in line with this view as re- gards gold imports, and engagements of specie for American account have been en- gagged in London to the amount of less than one million. This Is considered the beginning of holiday movement of gold in this direction. The fact that during the early part of the week London was large purchaser of our stocks was also favorable factor though 1t seems that the buying was of the speculative kind, which is apt to change suddenly.

USED HIS GUN.
Coal Mine Boss Fires at a Bar
 keep"

A shooting affray took place in the Nor ris hotel bar about o'clock yesterday morning, in which Lucien McMurray mar rowly escaped being hit by bullet fired from pistol in the hands of James Wood, a convict boss at Coaburg.
 According to MT McMurray's statement Woods came into the bar and ordered drink, which was served him.
 By a system in vogue at this bar the bar tender does not receive money, and check was given Woods, who walked to the cash ier's desk, where he got into an argument with the cashier over the price Of the drink. McMurray walked from behind the bar to try and adjust matters, and as ne approached the desk he says Woods threw his hand on his hip pocket and as- sumed threatening position.
 Without waiting for further action Me- Murray struck Woods with his fist, knock ing him down. As Woods fell pistol in his hand went off, the ball passing through McMurray's clothing on his left side, graz ing the skin at his waist.
 McMurray then took the gun away from Woods and put him out of the house.
 Woods was arrested by Captain Weir and Officer Leitch about 5 o'clock at the corner of Twenty-fourth street and Secono avenue. He was bareheaded, and toio 'he officers of the affair in the Morris par'
 Captain Weir placed McMurray unuer bond for an affray, and Woods was locKeo up on the charges of an affray and car rying concealed weapons.
 In the Inferior Criminal court yesterday morning Woods was fined, but was releas- ed on a s25 bond with the privilege oI Ie- opening the case this morning to lntroouce new testimony. McMurray's case was passed until this morning
