Struck By STREET CIR
TWO WOMEN HAVE REMARKABLE
ESCAPE YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON
BUGGY GROUND TO PIECES
Maria Avenue Car Struck Them at
the Conway Street Crossing
Horse Has Foot
Cut OFF.

Mrs. Mary Ledo and daughter Nellie
living at 1899 McClelIand street, on the
Newport road, had remarkable escape
yesterday from death or serious injury
in a collision with a Maria avenue street
car. They were returning home in "a
light buggy about 4 o'clock Mrs Ledo,
who was driving, is deaf, and drove upon
the Conway street crossing right in front
Of an approaching car. The accident oc-
CURED SO suddenly that neither the vic
TINS nor the score of passengers saw
just what happened. The car was NOV
ing rapidly, the horse disappeared, the
buggy was ground into kindling wood
and the occupants thrown to one side Of
the track all in a few seconds.
Apparently the fender struck the
horses legs, knocking it down, and,
glancing, struck the buggy, throwing the
occupants forward against it. AS the
fender was forced almost directly up
ward they were kept from going under
the wheels, and dropped beyond the
track.
In the excitement 1t was supposed the
horse had broken loose from the buggy
when struck and had run away, and Mrs.
Ledo's first inquiry was: Where is my
horse?' When the mOtorman attempted
to start the car, however, it was found
that the horse was under it. One Of its
feet had been cut off, and Officer Porter,
who happened to be a passenger, shot it.
Mrs. Ledo and daughter were badly
shaken up, but not seriously injured.

firm are placed at a figure between $780,
900 and 800, ,OOO The condition of the
firms business makes it impossible to es-
innate the assets with any degree of cor
rectness, though the statement given last
night was to the effect that the creditors
losses would be comparatively small.
Rumors of unsteadiness have been cur
rent for two days, but it was not until
last night that any confirmation of the
report that failure was pending could
be obtained. Mr.. Doran was seen at
his residence and informed of the cur
rent reports.
I'm the main the report is true" he
said "Our doors will be closed this
morning. 1 cannot tell what the total
liabilities will be, but as near as I am
able to estimate they will reach a figure
between $4,000 and $4,000. I have tried
my utmost to carry the firm through.
to the wall in spite of all"
Asked what hope remains of untangling
the financial difficulties of the firm and
again placing it upon its feet, Mr.. Doran
said:
There Is little hope. We will close
our doors and I do 1p)t think we will be
able to reopen again. 1 cannot tell how
badly we are involved yet, since affairs
are in such a condition that nothing can
be known definitely for several days. 1
did my best to avoid failure and every
effort was made to meet our obligations.
1t was impossible to stand up under the
adverse conditions, and the crash came
after all"
Concerning the prospects of settling the
! outstanding liabilities, he said:
"Our creditors will not suffer as much
as. appears on the face of the present con-
dition, if they keep cool. We hope to be
able to clear up the failure and make a
satisfactory adjustment The crash has
been coming for the past three days. We
began to feel the pinch when wheat went
to II cents After that the condition
grew worse and worse and there was
nothing which could have been done to
save US.
THE firm Of James Doran & Co. is
James Doran. The loss strikes me prin-
cipally'
Mr. Doran was for number Of years
connected with Mr.. Michael Doran in the
brokers' business. He is a man Of rec
ognized business ability, and his good
judgment resulted in his having made
snug fortune, which has been wiped out.
There is no doubt but what he will re-
coup himself before many months.

BRYAN'S RUNNING MATE
WILL BE A NEW YORK MAN, SAYS
JAMES EEAMILTON
LEWIS
QUESTION OF GEOGRAPHY
MIR. Lewis, of Washington State,
Himself n Candidate, Dis
cusses the Plans of the
Democrats.

EX-Congressman James Hamilton
Lewis, of Washington state, passed
through the city last evening en- route to
the Kansas City convention. Mr.. Lewis
has been prominently mentioned as run
ming mate for Mr.. Bryan, and comes with
the unanimous Endorsement of the dele
cation of his state and the support of the
Idaho, Oregon and Alaska delegations.
Mr.. Lewis goes first to Lincoln. where
he will confer with Mr.. Bryan. Speaking
of his candidacy and the situation in GEN
eral, Mr.. Lewis said:
L have little hope of receiving the vice
presidential nomination. The vote given
me VIII be largely complimentary. and
Will come from the East and South as
well as the " est. The vice presidency is
matter OF geography, and the candidate
Will not come from the far West. The
nomination Of Roosevelt by the Republi-
cans shows that they regard New York
as essential and pivotal. This is further
evidenced by the defeat of vice prasiden-
tial candidates from the West. And not
withstanding such good men as Towne
OF Minnesota; ShiVely, of Indiana Or
Garter Harrison. of Illinois, have been
advocated, l believe the disposition is to
give New York the vice presidency and
make that state the battle ground in the
coming campaign.
The mission of Croker Van Wyck and
others who are in consultation with Mr.
Bryan is to ascertain from him any OBJ
sections he may have from a political
standpoint, to the men from New York
they have in mind for the vice presiden-
tial nomination. and to have an under
standing with him as to what man he
would regard as strongest for his running
mate. and on that man action will be
unanimous.
Free silver sentiment is just as strong
in Washington as it was in 1886 bur
Democrats realize that Imperialism mill
tariSm and trusts are more urgent isSu-%
and they are given the lead in the c=rn-
paign. The Republicans of my state are
as confident of success as the Democrats
but l believe their arguments for cxDan-
sion will not avail when the people are
shown that it will mean a large standing
army, heavy taxes, unrestricted iinmi-
grafton from Oriental countries, ana the
removal of some Of the coast industries
to the Philippines.
Mr. Lewis is a native Of Virginia rear
ed in Georgia, and is a lawyer. He serv-
ed one term in congress, being defeated
for reelection in 1893 when Washington
went Republican. He has known Mr.
Bryan for years, and indorses the high
est estimate put upon his character and
capacities. Mr. Lewis is rather slight of
physique about forty-two years Old, and
impresses one as alert, able and aggres-
sive which is demonstrated in his pOlit-
ical advancement In the state Of his
