ANEXCITING RUNAWAY
HORSES ATTACHED TO SECRE-
TARY PEIRCE's CARRIAGE.
Dashed Madly Up the Avenue = Two
Policemen Tried to Stop Them
Colored Men Successful.

In the midst of the hurry, hustle and ex-
citement attending the arrival Of Prince
Henry this morning at the 9th street sta
ton the horses attached to the closed car
riage in which Mr.. Herbert H. D. Peirce,
the third assistant secretary of state. had
lust entered, bolted and ran away.
The prince and his escort were just turn
ing from 9th street into Pennsylvania ave-
nue. when the frightened horses dashed by
his eauipage. On past the royal party and
humping into the cavalry horses forming
the leading troop, the runaway team wheel
ed into the avenue and swept away at top
speed in the direction Of the treasury. The
crowds on the avenue seeing the team COM
ing at breakneck pace were fairly startled,
and many believed that the vehicle was
the one In which Prince Henry might be
riding.
Pennsylvania avenue to 18th street. north
on 18th street and again westerly on Penn
sylvania avenue to the White House. where
they were finally stopped. was marked by
many exciting incidents and narrow eS-
canes. Mr., Peirce remained in the vehicle
to the end, and escaped with only pad
jolting.
The coachman was tugging at the reins
all the way up Pennsylvania avenue, but
the only effect his total strength had on
the animals was to influence their direc-
ton when a junction point was reached
It was owing to this partial control MAIN
tanned by the driver that no casualties re-
suited. He kept the horses In the avenue
and 18th street, both thoroughfares being
clear of other vehicles and pedestrians.
Had the runaways dashed into the crowds
on either side OF the avenue the damage
wrought would have been fatally disas-
trous, 1t is believed.
Start Of the Runaway.
The start Of the runaway was witnessed
by hundreds OF people, who at first did not
realize what was happening. Mr.. Peirce
had seen to the proper disposition Of all
the members Of the party. and had seen
the column begin its journey toward the
White House. He hurried to his own car
riage, which was standing just outside the
baggage room Of the depot on 9th street.
It was intended that his driver should go
quickly to the White House, In order that
Mr.. Peirce might be there to make ar
rangements for the coming OF the party
into the White House grounds.
There was much noise at the station.
Cavalry bugies were blowing and the
crowds were cheering loudly.
Mr.. Peirce stepped into the carriage and
slammed the door with jar. The door
made quite loud report as 1t closed, and
It is believed that this noise, in conjunction
with the confusion OF the vicinity. fright
ened the already nervous horses and away
they broke toward Pennsylvania avenue.

retay of State Hay and Admiral Evans was

Policeman Young's Attempt.


In the rapidly moving carriage.
Policeman Young's Attempt.
At 7th street Policeman Garvey OF the
ninth precinct who was on duty near the
sidewalk, ran to the middle of the street
and attempted to hold the swaying team
His heroic effort was futile. He was
thrown to the ground. He got up badly
bruised. but not seriously injured. Dr. D.
Percy Hicklhg was near by and went at
once to the officer, but the latter declared
he was uninjured.
From 7th to 14th streets the horses sped
in less time almost than 1t takes to tell Of
the dash. No attempt was made to stop
them between these two points, although
the driver was seen to be pulling violently
but apparently Intellectually at the reins.
At 14th street a man was seen to make
his way quickly into the street. He seemed
determined to stop the horses AS they ap-
preached he made leap and caught one
Of the brides. He was dragged few feet
and then was tossed aside. He got up
bruised and sore and was taken to his
home at 14O6 street northwest. Samuel
Bait was his name.
By this time two mounted police officers
had started in pursuit of the runaway

carriage and straining every nerve to
catch and take hold Of the brides The

tense pitch.
At 18th street 1t seemed that the team
would surely be hurled into the crowd in
front OF the treasury and broken to pieces
against the heavy iron fence. The driver,
despite his strenuous trip up the thor
oughfare, had just little more strenth in
reserve however, and bringing all his
strength to bear on the right-hand line,
turned the horses in a northerly direction
on 18th street. escaping the west curb by
but few inches.
One of the mounted officers had caught
up with the team now and reached over to
take hold of the harness In another Sec

Stopped by Colored Men.
Singularly enough the adventure ended at
the east gate of the White House where
the team would have entered in any case.
At that point two brave colored men sprang
forward and seized the horses heads on
either SIDE They were dragged some dis
tance, but pluckily hung on and the crowd
closing around. the team was pulled up at
the White House gate. Through 1t all Mr..
Pierce had sat unmoved He realised his
danger. but knew that nothing could be
done by him and sank back in the seat

When he heard OF the accidents that had
occurred through the runaway, he immed-

offered to render any possible service. He
also sent his personal thanks to the two
colored men and to the driver who had
stood manfully to his task.

Government Sues Timber Cutters.
White House, Dec. 2, 1899.

Denver, Dec. 3.-The government
has filed a suit against the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Company and the
contractors furnishing it with ties for
its road, to compel an accounting for
timber alleged to have been Illegally
cut from government land in the
southern part of this state. The case
is entitled "The United States of
America VS.. The Denver & Rio Grande
Railway Company, the Rio Grande and
Pagosa Spring Railway Company, the
Rio Grande, Pagosa & Northern Rail-
way Company. the Pagosa Lumber
Company, the New Mexico Lumber
Company. A. T. Sullenberger, e. NJ

pany, Thomas C. Graden, J. w. Savage
and E. F. Greenwald."
The complaint. which was drawn by
United States Attorney Earl M. Grams
ton. was filed with the clerk of the
United States District Court Monday,
and a restraining order was at once
granted by Judge Hallett to prevent
the telling of any more timber in the
regions mentioned in the complaint,
and to prevent the companies named
from disposing of any of the timber
that. it is charged, was illegally taken
from the government reserves.

Free Rural Mail Delivery.

Rural free delivery service is no
longer in the experimental stage; it
has become fixed policy. The results
following its Introduction have fully
justified the Congress in the large ap-
preparations made for its establish
ment and extension. The average
yearly increase in postoffice receipts
in the rural districts of the country
is about two per cent. We are now
able. by actual results, to show that
where rural free delivery service has
been established to such an extent as
to enable us to make comparisons the
yearly increase has been upward Of
ten per cent.
On November 1, 1902, 1850 rural
free delivery routes had been estab-
lished and were in operation. covering
about one-third of the territory of the
United States available for rural free
delivery service. There are now
awaiting the action of the department
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-12-06

petitions and applications for the es-
tablishment of 10,74S additional routes
This shows conclusively the wans
which the establishment of the service
has met and the need of further ex
tending 1t as rapidly as possible.
1t is to be hoped that the Congress
will make liberal appropriations for
the continuance of the service already
established and for its further extern
sion.
