A Drop in Real Estate.

Thursday forenoon John Spears was
blowing on the old Saxton farm, near
town, when the ground gave away under
the hind legs OF one of his horses. The
animal was quiet one and with assist
ance Mr.. Spears was able to prevent the
horse from falling into the hole, which
was fifteen feet deep. The coal has
been mined from under the farm and
the earth was SO nearly ready TO sink
that the weight Of the horse IA 1t
walked over caused 1t to give away. Had
one horse would have gone down with 1t
and pulled the other animal in, and the
result might have been serious to the
team.

An Exciting Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon as Arthur Bark
ley was driving the Adams Express
team up Main street, with the mail from
the LAO p. NJ. train, the tongue of the
wagon dropped out of the neckyoke
when the wagon struck the raised cross
ing ut Centennial hall. The horses be-
came frightened and started to run.
The tongue broke off leaving piece
just long enough to jab the horses
around the hind legs and that made
them run all the faster. Arthur re-
malned in the wagon and hung to the
lines. In front of VIM. Fosters confec-
tionery DR.. Neale's horse and buggy
were standing and the express wagon
struck the rear part of the buggy, total
ly demoishing one wheel and otherwise
damaging the buggy The team kept
SO close to the sidewalk that they just
missed the telephone pole at corner OF
Main and Fifth streets. The wagon
very nearly upset In front of Mrs.
Taafe's millinery store. Arthur was
unable to stop the team until they got
to the Presbyterian church. Those
who saw the runaway expected Arthur
to be badly injured or killed, but he es.
CAPPED without scratch. The broken
tongue and nothing left of one hind
wheel but the hub, was all the damage
to express wagon. The horses were
considerably lacerated from the broken
tongue jabbing them.

Accidentally Shot.

James Delaney, the barber, was out
the other day shooting muskrats In the
Sandy Lick creek, near No. bridge on
A. V. R'y, when peculiar accident
happened. Two young ladies and sew
eral small boys were passing by on the
high embankment across the creek from
Mr.. Delaney and they stopped few
minutes to watch the shooting and one
OF the young ladies, Miss Blanche
Smith, was shot below the left knee.
The only way II can be accounted for Is
that the ball, a twenty-five calibrc,
struck II stone ANA glanced up the hill.
The young lady walked home, doctor
was summoned and he probed for the
ball but was unable to find II.

just think of climbing an almost per-
pendicular mountain $1,000 feet high
(so says Mr. Dunsmore) with camping
out paraphernalia on your back, and
you will have some idea of the troubles
and tribulations they had togo through,
When half way up the mountain Mr..
Dunsmore found his burden too heavy
and he threw out loaf OF bread and n
half dozen eggs. A little farther up
the steep several pounds of cheese and
some crackers were scattered over the
mountain side to tighten the pack, and
thus things were thrown away so that
when they finally reached the summit
their supply OF eatables were scattered
all along the trail. When these two gen.
tlemen climb Mount Hicks again they
will be older than they are now.

PARTY MEDICATION.

-HF cry of the Burns workers that he must be
vindicated by election to the Senate is the max
ing OF 2 new issue in politics and the discovery
of a new use for parties. All that has been SAID
against Burns is derived from his own record. lie
made that record. No one made it for him. 1t IS
no libel to publish it. when its publication was made
necessary by his candidacy for the highest honor the
party can bestow. 1t is surely something novel III
morals, politics and party practice for man TO
make an odious record in public Office and then de-
nand of the party vindication from the publication
of that record
If party rewards are to be had that way, the be-
trayal of one public trust becomes necessary step
ping stone to the achievement of greater trust.
1t is the misfortune of Burns that his record as Sec
rotary of State was so bad that to publish it is to
present the highest reason against conferr1ng the
promotion now sought by his ambition. 1t is mis-
take for him to that his election to the Senate
by the Legislature will vindicate him against that
record There are other things to think OF besides
such vindcation of Burns The interests OF the
party are to be considered If it take the pro-
posed to vindcate Burns how shall it be vindcated
If Burns go 70 the Senate a candidacy concealed
until after power had passed from the people at the
ballot-box he will be safe for SIX years. He Will not
have to go before the people at all But the party
must go to the people again next year. 1t must stand
the brunt and the issue it must meet will be Its vim
dcation Of Burns. Who will make its tight and
undertake to secure its vindication that issue'
Let Republicans pause while it is yet time, and con-
slider whether the party should do this thing now,
which must go to popular judgment IN 1000 Let
them think sobery and well Of the consequences OF
sending the partys principles, its high history its
great record ohe rear in order to argue its reasons
for indicating Mr.. Burns and preerring him for the
Senate against the whole list OF men in its ranks and
who needed vindication against rec
ord willfuly made by themselves.
The Democrats are tactical They are keenly sem
sitive to their position They have refused to hand
cap themselves by giving imperative minority
vote to an aspirant who wanted vindcation.
Let Republicans be admonished. The party is not

MRS. CHANDLER COMMITTED.
Her Secrets Locked Up in Attorney
PARCELS Safe.

Mrs. Rebecca ]. Chandler was adjudged
insane and committed to Agnews Asylum
by Judge Cook yesterday morning After
this phase of the case had been disposed
of, Mary A. Cox. an intimate friend of
the demented woman, filed petition for
letters of guardianship of her person and
estate. Attorney F. NJ PARCELS appears
as attorney for Mrs, Cox and the petit
ton will be argued Wednesday.
Locked up in PARCELS safe are all
the letters and papers possessed by Mrs
Chandler which tell the story of the
friendship which existed between the lady
and the late Colonel Charles r. Crocker
They will not be touched until after the
question of guardianship is settled, when
PARCELS viii make an examination to as
certain whether there is any contract
existing between the woman and the ex-
ecutorS of Crocker's estate.
The woman desired to become literary
light and her failure to float the produce
tions of her. pen in the channels of the
book traffic is responsible for her demen-
tia. Whether her malady is permanent
or not remains to be seen. For years
she has been in touch with many of the
intellectual minds of the State and was
an unusually bright and interesting
woman.

THE PACIFIC COAST EXPOSITION.

lands beyond the seas, our coast produc-
ton and capacity; If it will not tend TO
crystallfze sentiment in the nation upon
the Importance of the Pacific Ocean COM
merce. then it will be folly to promote 1t.
We believe that such an exposition as is
proposed will be of first value, highest
Importance and immeasurable benef1t to
the entire coast, and for the matter OF
that, to the nation at large.
The interior of the State cannot AFFORD
to take a narrow and selfish view or sucn
a question as this. 1t cannot AFFORD 10
confess that it is actuated by cross-roau
purposes and governed In It's JuoSInenI
by barroom considerations OF pubic pol
lev. The interior is as intelligent and
broad on all great questions as the me
tropolis can possibly be, and 1t Is entltlea
therefore to have it's press be fairly eX-
pository of it's true sentiment True, there
may be in some sections respectable sen
timent opposed to the exposition because
of transformation concerning the matter.
But we apprehend that wherever the sub
iect has been laid before an interior COM
munity fully, fairly and plainly, there Will
be found generous approval IN response.
1t is in fact, not San FRANCISCO en-
terprise, though to the credit OF profIll-
nent citizens of that city in the matter
of suggestion and initial movement.
But it is really a national affair, one
that will not only engage our attention
and should enlist our best energies, but
will greatly concern every foreign power
having possessions bordering upon the
Pacific waters; the governments OF al
the Pacific isles; will attect ana eniist the
commercial interests Of Australia; will
not escape the attention of Russia, nor
fail to quicken the interest Of reticent and
exclusive China,-The Record-Union.
