feature of the gathering was the presence

prominent society people, who came to
see her son, Honorc Palmer, alderman
from the twenty-hrst ward, sworn in as
a city official.
When the time came for Alderman

explaining the 'doings" to a young wo-
man that he forgot to vote and the au-
Cience laughed and applsuded.
Reading Clerk McCaffey caught him
urawares the second time also, but his
mother, who was listening, evidently
knew how her son should vote, for she
uttered an involuntary Aye" and the
vote was counted before the listeners

EXCITEMENT AT WAYCRoss.
Runaway Horse Makes Things Live.
Iy for Awhile.

Waycross, Ca, April 8.-A runaway
horse created considerable excitement on
Plant avenue to-day. The horse, blind
one, owned by viii Mcdonald, became
frightened and started up the. street,
knocking down a number of sign boards.
When opposite d. & o. Lofts office he
crossed the street Mrs. G. M. Archer
and Miss Della Carswell were sitting in
a trap in front of Hardy Bros grocery
The runaway smashed into their rig and
tore off wheel. He became separated
from the buggy here and running into a
pile of boxes and buckets on the side
walk, fell down, scattering seeds, vege-
tables, ETC., in every direction. Recover
ing, the animal dashed across the street
into the fence along the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western right-of-way The
fence went down with a crash, and the
horse turned a complete somersault down
the hill, and, strange to say was not in
jured.
Fortunately the horse attached to Mrs.
Archer's trap was a gentle one, and be-
yond severe fright the ladies' escaped
without personal injury. Had their trap
been a few feet farther back, the runa-
way would have jumped into ID and prob
ably fatally injured both the occupants
The only damage was to the vehicles and
harness.
Miss Bertha Lou Carter and Mr..
Charles Cason were married yesterday
at the home of the brides parents near
Buckley. A large number of relatives and

ed az the Crittenden Hotel on the charge
of attempting to beat board bill to-day
chief of police. He stated that his right
name is NJ. r. Deputy and that his home
is in Minneapolis. While at Indianapolis
he was employed as confidential clerk and
bookkeeper for Fletcher Brothers of the
Minneapolis Elevator Company. In that
capacity he claims he had the combina-
ticn of the safe and one night stole 500
from the safe and fed. In a few months
after this he went back to Minneapolis
and as he had taken one of the
front door keys with him he let himself
in and stole goods TO the value of 500.
He then collected a lot of old letters and
set fire to them, the fire destroying the
entire block
He made his escape again from the city
and shortly afterward was met by his pa
rents at another place. He informed them
of what crimes he had committed in Min
neapolis and they aided him in getting
away. His parents, whom he claims are
respectable and wealthy people, did this in
order that he might escape prosecution
and not disgrace them. He promised to
reform. and says that so far as his pa
rents know, he is supposed to be leading
an exemplary life.
Dupuy said he had gone to Chicago and
thence to Dayton, where he had a Pinker-
ton badge and forged the names of AL
Gan and William Pinkerton to a certificate
that he was in their employ. From Day
ton he came to Columbus, and he says
he intended TO fleece a number of per-
sons by pretending that he desired to en-
ploy stenographer and to secure what
money he could from applicants and then
leave the city.

A BLOW TO RUssIA's PRESTIGE.
Expected That She VIII Renew the
Manchurian struggle.

London, April 9.-In a dispatch to the
Times from Pekin dated Sunday, DIT.
Morrison comments upon the blow to Rus
sian prestige in China resulting from the
check to Russia's ambitions regarding
Manchuria. This blow is all the more Sc
vere, he says, because Japan, whom
the Russians have affected to treat with
the utmost contempt. has had the largest
share in dealing IL.
There is little doubt that Russia will
renew the struggle in some shape 1t is
a remarkable outburst Of popular feeling
which has thus enabled China to with
stand Russia. All. the appeals against
the convention concerning Manchuria
were addressed to the Emperor. 1t is
therefore difficult to believe that he En-
press Dowager has not been affected by
the defeat of she policy of which her
henchman, Ii Hung Chang, is the sturd-
lest exponent.
THE Emperor has summoned the pres
ident of the Board of Revenue from Pekin
to prepare for the removals of the court.
Probably this only means a removal to
XII Fong Fu, in the province of Ho Nan,
which would bring the court into closer
contact with the Yang-tse viceroys."
