One of the most remarkable runaway accidents that has ever taken place in Newtown occurred on Monday morning, when the horses attached to the New town Inn stage, got beyond control, ran violently down Church hill, and toward the station, overturning the wagon near the residence of Charles Fl. Gay, and all the occupants escaping serious injury.
 It was not the regular stage team that figured in the accident. It appears that this team had been sent away on other business, and that when Stage Driver John Ray, 8 capable and safe driver, ap- peared at the hotel to go down to the 8 AZ a. n. train, he found that another team had been hitched up, new stopper and the horse known as the "Babe mare" The occupants of the stage included MT and Mrs Wickett and child and MT Ives of Bensonhurst, N. Y, Miss Rushmore of the same town, and another lady; also large trunk. According to MT Ray, the Babe mare" began kicking when the wagon began the descent of the hill. The brake failed to hold and the wagon came on to the horses heels, causing them to kick. The horses soon got to going at frightful speed, and MT Ives, thinking he might get out and run to the heads of the horses, jumped out. But in 8 flash they shot by him. MT Ray did his utmost to check them and called on MT Wickett to help him on the lines, When near Mrs Terrill's the wagon col. lided with the carriage of Attorney w J. Beecher, and the stage in twinklinR was overturned, the horses having beer pulled to one side.
 To the surprise of everyone all the oc cupants of the wagon crawled out of the mix-up uuhurt, and with but few bruises MT Wickett's baby was uninjured, to the great joy of every occupant of the wag on. That the hand of Providence saved them all from accident and a possible death was the belief of every occupant of the flying wagon, and of those who witnessed the wreck. No blame can bt attached to MT Ray, who is most care ful man and faithful servant of thu public. It was matter for general con graduation that the results were not SC rious.

tain Jno N. Phari, Berwick. La. !:
I notice in the press report that you
have repeatedly stated on the roe-
trum that you were reliably informed
that l had tabulated the vote Of
1896, and that such investigation
showed your election. Now I do
not believe you would purposely
misrepresent me, and I wish to say
to you that I did examine the sworn
returns in the Office Of the secretary
OF state, which showed Governor
Fosters election BY over 10000
majority, and, after eliminating the
entire vote Of all the parishes where
in fraud was alleged, still the re-
turns showed Governor Fosters
election by 1000 majority. This
recapitulatlon was published in the

will do me the justice TO make :
public correction Of your former
erroneous statement and read THE

upon the captain to correct q false
statement he has been making on the

tain Pharr ought certainly TO cnm
ply or expose the original from
whom he obtained his SANDER. But
will the captain do it? We do NOT
believe he will.
The whole Of the Republican cam
paign is based on the story that the

Pharr in 1896, and counted in Fos-
