BAD RUNAWAY.
j. j. MERCER Seriously In
.jured by Hack Team.

Joseph ]. MERCER o. 4 Fremont street
is an inmate of the city hospital as the
result of a runaway accident that took
place on Main street shortly after noon
yesterday. The hack team owned by
w. e. Jones which stands in front of
the Star Lunch rooms, took fright at
snow sliding off d building in the
neighborhood and before the owner or
people in the neighborhood knew what
had taken place, the horses were gal
Looping toward New Worcester.
The first obstacle encountered by the
frightened horses was a single sleigh
driven by MERCER, which had reached
a point opposite the Boston Store
when the runaway got along. Before
MERCER knew what vas coming,
the hack horses had literally run
over him. His sleigh was demolished,
and the driver thrown to the ground
in a partially conscious state.
The runaways eXtricated themselves
from the broken sleigh and continued
their run, colliding with another sleigh
owned by F. L. Lobdell of Holden. The
driver was in the market at the time,
or there would have probably been an
other injured man.
The hack pole jammed into the sleigh
and scared the horse attached, who
started at the head Of the procession,
along Main street. The outfit was
finally stopped by gang Of shovelers

At the conclusion of the speech the
president shook hands with the
members. The reception over, the
receiving party resumed their seats,
and President Smith again raped for
order. Cries were for Secretary Long
In opening, Secretary Long alluded to
his service as speaker, and said he had
been able to preserve order in the
House during his term Of service. This,
however, was when the House met in
the old chamber. and before some one
who knew nothing about construction,
had charge of the building Of the pres
ent chamber. AS Secretary Leng was
chairman of the state house construc-
ton committee, the members at once
caught on, and there was laughter and
applause.
The sacred Goldfish came in for rec
ignition by Secretary Long. who said
its familiar features represented the in
telligence of Massachusetts. Then he
went on in a more serious vein and eu
logized the president and the members
of the cabinet for their hard and eff
cient work during the war. Secretary
Gage followed Mr.. Long with a few
words. This ended the program at the
state house. AS the president was leav-
ing the room three cheers with a tiger
were called for by Representative Jere-
miah f. Mccarthy Of Charlestown.

There are several men in France who
are in a sense permanent presidential
candidates, reasonably ready on any
occasion. They are: Brisson, De Frey
cinet. Waldeck Rousseau, Cavignac and
Dupuy and more recently Meine.
Already the leftist senators. have
nominated NJ Loubet, president of
the senate and former premier, as sue
eessor to President Faure.
To Brisson's candidacy, the army and
the anti Dreyfusards are hostile to
him. His utra-radical leanings and
socialist support will be counted
against him.
De Freycinet is 20 years old and
rather infirm. The army is not sharp
ly opposed to him, but his balancing in
the Dreyfus affair makes all groups
distrustful and lukewarm toward him.
Waldcck- Rousseau represents the
genuine supporters Of the parliament
airy republic but he is unacceptable to
both sorts of extremists.
Cavaienac is one Of the men that in
the background manipulate the league
of the French Fatherland i'm the present
chaos Cavaignac as its candidate and
that of the army is formidable, but
moderate republicans distiust him and
the DreyfusaTds are bitterly opposed 10
him.
Dupuy, as a candidate, has the adj
vantage Of power and place. He is
hopeful of support OF the bureaucracy's
professional politicians and opportun-
lists.
Meline Is deemed an eminently safe
man and he supports the Faure views
as those Of Cavaignac, only in a modi-
fed form.
