A BOULEVARD RUNAWAY.
An Exciting Occurrence on North Cap

For short while yesterday afternoon
spectators on North Capitol avenue. who
were watching the races, witnessed addi-
tional excitement in the way of a novel
runaway. Near the corner of Tenth street
a young man, accompanied by a young
woman, was driving a spirited horse. the
young man evidently taking great pride in
his animal from the way In which he
frequently turned his head and smiled as
he watched another driver and horse i'm
mediately in his rear trying TO get on
even terms with him. At Tenth street the
shafts OF the sleigh In which rode the
young man and young woman parted from
the body OF the sleigh. The horse seemed
as surprised as any one and the young
man in his embarrassment kept turning
the horse around until IL got in the rear OF
the sleigh when the thought dawned on
him that he was free and he suddenly
ierked loose from his owner and ran with
great speed north on Capitol avenue. The
shafts still clinging TO the frightened ami
NAL would occasionally hit him about the
ankles and start him anew on his wild
flight When near the corner OF Twelfth
street the frightened horse came In contact
with another horse hitched TO a milk wagon
belonging TO Jessup * Antrim. The other
animal also started 10 try his speed on the
snowy boulevard and he. too Joined in the

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., mt Plymouth
Church.

The third appearance of Rev. Thomas
Dixon, jr., of New York, in this city under
the auspices of the lecture course commit
tee of the Y. NJ. c. A. drew out large
crowd last night to Plymouth Church to
hear the young lecturer deliver his address
on Fools" Mr.. Dickson interspersed his
remarks with both humorous and pathetic
stories that kept the constant attention of
his audience. He portrayed in dramatic
fashion 1.-The man who knows il ALL and
told of the many intricate scrapes in which
this person often finds himself after he has
spoken. Then the lecturer took up the re-
view of the ''miser,' who sewers all kindred
ties and literally the world, except money.
until he has boarded millions, and then
finds himself broken in health and without
friends to care for him. Next Mr.. Dixon
took up the "gastronomical fool" who like
Esau of old, thinks only of that which CEN
ters in their stomachs, and who lead a wild.
reckless life for the qualification of their
appetites. The lecture was preluded by an
organ recital by Prof. George Hebble.

The Hooking Valley operators The Ohio
operators will meet tomorrow morning.
The conferences have been devoted chiefly
TO discussion of the demands of the miners
and the position that will be taken by the
operators in the joint conference. The
sentiment OF the operators is practically
unanimous in opposition to granting any
increase In the present price of mining.
They say that il viii be utterly impossible
for them to concede any advance In wages
on account of the competition from West
Virginia, which is not included in the in
terstate agreement When the scale was
fixed a year ago the miners promised II
is claimed, TO organize their fellow-crafts-
men in West Virginia. Some effort was
made in this direction, but little progress
has been made. West Virginia is now

The bituminous districts ,rnia especial special,

Virginia coal in the Chicago markets alone

Any increase in the present price OF mining
would. therefore, the operators say, give
their West Virginia competitors just that
much greater advantage. The operators
appear to be willing TO concede the pres
ent price of mining, but they will insist
as a condition OF its maintenance that the
miners of West Virginia be organized and
that State brought into the joint agree

miners for a scale upon a of mine

between pick and machine mining vary in

the various districts. Heretofore. the scale
has been fixed upon the basis of screened
coal and the price of machine mining has
been determined by the various districts
separately. The operators will oppose any
change from the old plan.

ORAL ARGUMENT HEARD.


An oral argument was heard yesterday
by the Appellate Court on the question as
to whether special contracts with the hold
ers of insurance policies by which GER
tain per cent. of the gross receipts Of the
company paid them for using their
influence to advance the interests Of the
company are valid or not. The is

Marion county Superior Court, has already
held that the special contract In question
is invalid and that Robson should pay

INDIANA'S MARL BEDS.
State biologists Annual Report VIII
Discuss Them.

State Geologist Blatchley has just fin
sshed a paper that will be included in his
annual report, which will soon be ready
for publication, on the mari deposits in
this State. There are thirty-three of these
beds known workable deposits. They
are 16o acres in area and ten feet in thick
ness. 1t is suggested that where there
are such beds as these found, they would
Justify the erection of a plant for the,
manufacture OF Portland cement, producing
five hundred barrels a day. The depos-
fits which have so far been found would
supply such factory as this for a period
OF thirty years. The paper shows that
mari beds are found in ten different coun-
ties OF the State.

Thomas Levy Admits Having Commit
ted Sundry Thefts.

Thomas Levy, colored, twenty EIGHT years
old, is under arrest charged with having
committed several thefts at the boarding
house Of Miss Narcissa Hayes, No. 1884
Massachusetts avenue northwest where he
was employed butler. He admitted to
Detectives Lacy and Browne, who arrested
him, that he stole a number of the articles

heard a strange noise in the storeroom,
and upon going to the room he called Miss
Hayes attention to the broken condition of
Miss Byers' trunk Believing he had COW
cred his tracks in this way the coored
man soon afterward left Miss Hayes en-
plOy, and when he learned of the thefts
from persons other than himself he made
an effort to show that they had been COM
mitted by another domestic.
After his arrest the detectives found that
he had presented the stolen goods to u
number of his friends One article he gave
to his boarding house keeper. and afterward

"DRY" FOR SHERIDAN.
An Account of the Eject of Closing
the Canteen There.

Adjutant General Corbin has just received
a clipping from the Evening Post of Chi
cago pointedly calling attention to the ef-
feet Of the abolishment Of the bar features
Of the army canteen, as shown at Fort
Sheridan. The article in question says:
'Wailing prevails at Fort Sheridan and
laughing at Highwood. because the reser-
vation is dry and the other suburb is
wet Soft drinks are all the rage among
the boys in blue while in quarters since
the canteen liquor was barred. Not in the
memory of the oldest soldier at the fort
has such radical change been made in the
usual routine life Of the military man. Not
in the history Of Highwood have SO many
soldiers been seen in the saloons. OF all
the beautiful suburbs along the north shore
none is less seemly than Highwood with
its saloons. and the prohibition orders now
in force at the reservation have not tended
to make what has been called the north
shore Lemont any more orderly.
"Highwood joins Fort Sheridan on the
south, thus bringing the soldiers within a
half mile Of grogshops and thwarting the
intention of the latest army legisla tion
which was passed with view to removing
all temptation to drink from army quarters
1t is the only village between Chicago and
Waukegan that allows saloons within its
limits. There are eight of them which pay
license of $3.50 year and a ninth which
runs only In summer. This makes one sa-
loon for about every fifty voters of the vii
lags aaanv ot tho so,a,srs b.. r,s,+o, u,a,
wood saloons In the past, as the cash regis
tiers of these places will testify. With the
aboishment of the liquor feature of the
canteen this number has increased four
fold, and after the paymaster makes his
rounds the saloon keepers will probably
need extra bartenders for a few days. AL
ready an enterprising brewery is contem
plating the opening of a ffrst-class sample
room to cater especially to the soldier trade.
Some of the Fort Sheridan men who are
not abstainers assert the present situation
is good for the fort, as the canteen, they
say, was not managed as it should have
been. Gross receipts of the bar privilege at
the reservation ran as high $500 in a
month and averaged about $500. 1t is this
81, 500 month that the eight saloon keepers
of Highwood are looking for, and their fell
low dispensers at Waukegan also are look
ing for a share of it.
president w. F. Hogan of the Highwood
village board said today: I am not in that
business, but suppose the saloon men may
get more money from the soldiers now. The
village has ample police protection and l
do not expect any trouble as result Of the
new rules at the fort
I'm the summer season 1t Is no unusual
happening for a motorman to have to stop
his car near the reservation in order to
avoid running into soldiers walking at an
angle. and fights on the cars are frequent.
The employees Of the trolley line anticipate
worse conditions now that the men must
leave the barracks to get liquor"
