SERIOUS RUNAWAY,

Leonard jackson, a we'll known young
nian Of this city, in company with Miss
Grace Longshore, while driving with a
team OF horses last night suffered quite
a runaway accident c,miDg down the
nill on this eide of second Fruit Ridge.
Miss Longshore was thrown from the
buggy at the foot Of the hill and was
quite severely shocked. She was picked
up in an unconscious condition and re-
NAMED in that state for over two hours
She has no knowledge Of how the acci-
dent occurred.
Mr.. jackson was considerably bruised
about the body, but not seri ,usly hurt
il any manner. He states that he
thinks either the neck yoke came un-
fastened or broke and the buggy run
ming upon the horses caused them to
be frightened and they started to run
away. The buggy was overturned at
the foot Of the hill, throwing both OF
the occupants out and rendering them
unconscious. Mr.. jackson soon recov-
cred, but Miss Longshore was more seri-
ousIy shocked and her friends were
much concerned for her for some time
after the accident. She was taken to
the home OF her parents down the val
10y and is resting easy today.
1t is a matter which is a subject OF
much congratula.ion that the young
lady was not hurt more seriously than
sue was.
The team was one from the Hammond
livery stable.

CHASTITY FIND.

Telluride-In mine near Ophir sta
ton, owned by Gus Giamboni, the dead
body of a man was found this afternoon.
1t was under a cave OF rocks and dirt in
a drift Of the mine, all buried but the
head.
At 8 o'clock this evening the body had
been extricated, but not identified.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Giamboni arriv-
ed in this city from his home near Delta
aud announced that he had come up for
the purpose Of resuming work on his
property. Consequently it is thought
that his body also lies buried under the
cave, as nothing has been heard OF him
since.
Editors Note-Gus Giamboni owns a
farm near Grand Junction instead Of
Delta. Gamboni came to this country
five years ago from Rico. His wife died
here shortly thereafter and he has resid-
ed here ever since.)

WILLIAMS EVE on AUSTRIA.

The quarrel over the language of the
country goes on with undated vigor in
Austria Hungary. German is the official
tongue, having been readopted not long
ago; and German IS strongly objected 10
by the Czechs. They insist that the Ian
guage of the Magyars shall be made the
official language and so strenuously are
they insisting that serious disahection is
being caused in the army. on two Occa-
sions recently. once in Bohemia and once
in Moravia, the men in the ranks of the
army refused to respond TO roI-call in the
German language, but used the Czech
equivalent, while at one of the places,
Gaya, so obstreperous did the soldiers be-
come that 1t was found necessary TO send
for troops from Brunn to maintain the
authority of the officer conducting the an
nual muster. And the malcontents in the
ranks, It is said, find encouragement and
support among the ultra-pariotic Hunga-
rian people inspired by the party of In
dependence" Recently the students OF
the Buda Pesth University proclaimed
themselves champions of the Magyar Ian
guage and against the privileged position
accorded to German. A demonstration
which they organized in the streets of the
Hungarian capital had to be dispersed by
the police. The students sang revolu-
tionary hymns.
Meantime it is to be noted that the pro
German party is in the majority other
wise the Magyar language would quickly
succeed the German. And in certain quar-
ters where much attention is given to
continental politics. a great deal of i'm
portance is attached to this preponderance
of pro-German influence. 1t is taken to
indicate, indeed a change in the map of
Europe at a date not very far distant, in
which the German empire viii be largely
extended. Francis Joseph, the Emperor
of Austria Hungary is now in his sew
entieth year. In the natural course of
events he cannot survive a great many
additional years. At the time of his
death, so the political prophets say, will
come the upheaval that will rend his pres
ent empire in twain and give to Germany
the better part of it. When Francis 10
seph dies, they say the German speaking
population of Austria-Hungary will APP
peal to Germany for protection, which that
country Will not be slow to give. EN-
peror william, it is alleged, already has
his eye upon this contingency and is so
shaping matters that he viii be in a posi-
ton to grant the protection desired when
ever it is asked for. William would dear
ly love to see Austria under the German
flag; and while he is pottering about in
international politics. he is all of the time
keeping in view the main chance for bring
ing it under his flag. And once William
had his flag flying in Austria he would
not rest until he had it in Constantinople.
AT least that is what the politicians say.

BRUNswICK'S FAIR.

The fair which begins at Brunswick to-
day promises to be an unusually interest
ing one 1t is not fair of Gynn county
alone. A number of the southeastern
counties will participate in it, 1t win be
about the last of the fairs in the state for
this year.
There have been several of these fairs,
and all of them have been successful.
Provided the weather is good the one at
Brunswick will, in some important partic-
ulars, eclipse all of them.
The Brunswick people are bestirring
themselves to make a record in the mat
ter of fairs They have secured many I'M
usual but very attractive features. The
battleship Texas Is one of them. That
warship took a prominent part in the ma
val engagement off Santiago. That makes
her all the more interesting. Capt. Sigs-
bee will be in command of her. He was in
command of the Maine when she was
blown up in Havana harbor. The people
who will visit the fair will be glad to
see him as well as the Texas.
The races are going to be very fine
Great preparations have been made for
them AS for the displays Of farm and
factory products. it would not be surpris-
ing if they should greatly exceed eXpecta-
tons.
There is some speculation as to whether
the Brunswick Fair will not pretty nearly
equal the State Fair recently held at At
lanta. To expect it to do that would be
expecting a good deal but it is safe to say
that those who visit it viii be quite as
well satisfied as were those who visited
the fair at Atlanta. 1t is certain that
Brunswick is leaving nothing undone that
she can possibly do to make the fair a
success.

Some inside information respecting the

brought in Chicago. The plaintiff is ST.
mon Morris, who appears to be a profess
sional promoter of municipal legislation,
and the defendants are the Illinois Steel
Company, John w. Gates now president
of the steel and wire trust, and others.
The steel company and its friends, 1t
seems, two or three years ago desired a
certain privilege, which nearly all of the
Chicago papers denounced as "a clear
steal of valuable lands and franchises

ed into City Council and quickly became
known as the Lake Shore Grab" Nor

Notwithstanding the opposition of the press
and many influential citizens, the bill be-
came law and the corporations got what
they wanted. But when The promoter
endeavored 20 collect his bill there was a
clash. The corporations gave him the
stony stare" as they say in Chicago, and
refused to pay. Hence Morris suit
In his bill of complaint Morris tells how
much money-his own-he spent, why he
spent 1t, how he spent 1t, and upon whom
he spent IT. and he asserts that 1t was in
consequence of the expenditure that the
Council passed the bill. Twenty thousand
dollars, he says, ne blew in" on the al.

court to enforce the return to him Of thi.
money. together with $4,000 addiuona
compensation for mis- loan, time and pro.
fessional services.
on one occasion Morris gave his alder.
manic friends an excursion in a special
car. The distance Travelled was only short
but when the party got back to Chicago
"the champagne corks were three inches
deep on the car floors" according to an
alderman who was there. This same al.
