CABLE CAR RUNS AWAY
GETS BEYOND CONTROL AND
CRASHES INTO TWO OTHER CARS.
Chase for Twenty Blocks on New
York Street-FOur Persons Serious
ly Hurt and Twenty Slightly.

NEW YORK, Jan. Stripping up Lex
ington avenue at breakneck speed tonight
a runawa, cable car caught up with two
other cars and pushed them ahead in a
mad run that lasted for twenty blocks be-
fore the cars were under control. And
then it was found that four persons were
hurt seriously and a score slightly.
All three cars were crowded with the
rush from down town, and windows were
crushed in. platforms were wrecked and
the passengers tossed wildly about In the
race that was started with one car and
wound up with three jammed and locked
together the only person not in any of the
cars who was hurt was an expressman.
His wagon, laden with packages, was sent
flying and the oil lamp on the wagon ex-
ploded scattering flames. So while police
and crowds chasNd the flying cars other
policemen and other crowds fought fire
in their wake and dragged stupe.ied ex-
pressman from beneath piles Of blazing
boxes. trunks and packages.
OF those injured on the cars all were
passengers, as many of them were stand
ing up clinging to straps. With the sway
ing and the jammed interiors they could
not protect themselves and some times
they were half out of the broken windows,
and at other times piled in heaps in either
the front or rear. Those most danger
ously hurt were men and women who were
thrown to the floors and trampled on. The
others. who were in their seats, suffered
greatly from bruises and cuts from flying
glass.
AS to the cause of the accident the opin-
ion of employees was that the cable had
broken and the first car had got entangled
in the runaway end of 1t. Whether it was
that defective grip and useless brakes
the officials of the road would not say,
but it is known that three runaways were
caught only after a race of full mile, and
then only when the cable was stopped in
response to an order by telephone.

to him, for this is about his first good sea-
son. Two years ago he lost everything in

in good shape. 1t seems a case of Provi-

there. He was to have gone to Baltimore
from here last Saturday, but was detained
until some other attraction should take
his place. The greatest loss of all will be
to the old Indianapolis favorite, Madame

cause she was so well liked here. Another

London and Windsor while householders
along the route are asking a years rent for
single windows. a member of the United
States embassy sent an agent to secure
window for his family. but neither official
influence nor anything else could procure
small window, even on a side street near
st. James street, for less than e100. and
places of fair vantage have already been
engaged at prices prohibited to any but mil
lionaires. London learned last year how
totally inadequate the police and military
are to protect, and the apprehensions Of
Saturdays crush are enough to appall Lon
doners; but, apparently, these considera-
tions do not deter thousands of every rank
from focking to the metropolis.
The heavy work of arranging the elab-
crate military details of the London pro-
cession will prevent the official programme
being issued before this Thursday even-
ing. Some idea Of the extent of the labor
involved will be gained from the fact that
a firm of caterers has been instructed by
the War Office to provide breakfast and
dinner for 1000 troops. The military dis
positions, however, have been practically
settled as already cabled. 1t is understood
that the military and naval escort will
precede the coffin, that after the escort
will come the headquarters staff of the
army, the foreign military attaches and
various military bands, and that then will
come the coffin, followed by King Edward,
Emperor William and King Charles OF
Portugal. the royal mourners. representa-
tives of foreign states, mourning carriages
with the princesses, and then the re-
mainder OF the military escort. All the

Michigan Wife Who Adopted Mrs. Ma
tiOn's Plan of Taking the Law
Into Her own Hands.
BACKED BY A BAND OF HER SEX
SHE MARCHED TO A CANDY STORE,
WHICH SHE CALLED A "DEN,,
And Broke Her Whip Over the Body
OF "Skeete" Rough, a "Detest-
able Wrecker of Homes"

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Jan. 30.-The public
horsewhipping of an alleged gambling
house keeper by an angry wife furnished
no end of excitement at Buchanan to-day
and placed. that village well up in rank with
the Kansas towns that have felt the rigor-
Gus anti-saIoon efforts of Mrs. Nation. The
victim of the chastisement was "Skete"
Rough, keeper of what purports to be
candy and cigar store, but which wives
who have felt a shortening OF their allow
ances on their husbands pay days say is
a gambling house. The Michigan apostle
of reform is Mrs. ]. Voorhees,, and she had
at her back half the female population of
the village In addition several hundred
men crowded about and howled with de-
light as the angry woman belabored the
back Of the cigar dealer.
The trouble had been brewing for months.
Rough's place were a number of laboring
men. and the distress caused TO their fami-
lies by their losses led to an appeal by
many residents to the authorities to close
the place. The request was not readily
complied with. and Mrs. Voorhees,. who
says her husband lost more than $500 in the
resort and was nightly spending the wages
he earned during the day. decided TO take
matters into her own hands Armed with
a horsewhip she called on Deputy McFal-
len and demanded that he close the cigar
store. The officer agreed to do so and ac-
companied the woman to the place. Other
women joined them. 1t is estimated that
fully thirty women were in line when the
party reached its destination.
I'm here TO close this den.' declared the
deputy to Rough, who met him at the door.
Guess I've got right to sell candy and
cigars same as anybody else" replied the
alleged gambler.
Not if know it. you detestable wrecker
OF homes" shouted Mrs. Voorhees,. Take
that and that, and here's another. too"
and with each succeeding exclamation she
brought down her whip with increasing
force until her whip was broken over
Roughs back
The women encouraged Mrs. Voorhees,
with shouts. Rough was dared 10 defend
himself. but he was wise enough TO Les well
enough alone. Had he made move against
his tormenter it is hard TO tell what the
crowd of women would have done TO him.
Finally he was released and took refuge
behind his candy and cigar counter. Later
he closed the doors OF the place, and now
threats are heard that II 1t is reopened il
will be demolished.
