MISS FRANCIS
: : : UNDER WAY.
Probable Now That She Will
Not be Examined by Dr..
LOrenZ.

Drs. Iukens, E. r. Negendank,
and Frederick yesterday afternoon
made an X ray examination of the
left hip of Miss Bessie May Francis,
daughter of State Detective, Theo-
dore Francis.
The physicians are still of tn o
opinion that the trouble with Miss
Francis limb is due to infantile
paralysis. If such should prove to
be the case, she twill not be treated
by DR. Lorenz, the famous Aus
trian specialist.
The result OF the examination is
not yet known, however. The left
limb of Miss Francis is several inch
es shorter than the right one, and
has been short in tho same propor-
ton ever since she was three years
old.
Miss Francis, who is about II years
of age, took up the matter herself,
by writing to DR.. Augustus Wilson,
of Philadelphia, with reference to
securing the assistance of DR.. Lo-
REM.

CONGRESS BEGINS WORK.
House Passes Bill to Defray Strike
COmmission's Expenses.

Commissions Expenses.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The senate
yesterday began the real work Of dis
posing of the business before it. al
though the session lasted only an hour
and half When an adjournment was
taken at 80 o'clock, out of respect to
the memory cf Representatives De
Graffenreid and Sheppard of Texas the
bill to amend the immigration laws was
under discussion.
Early in the day Mr.. Nelson, from the
committee on territories, reported a
substitute for the omnibus statehood
bill, with the recommendation that Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory be admit
ted into the Unien as one state under
the name of Oklahoma. When the i'm
migration bill was brought up Mr..
Quay precipitated discussion over
the status of the statehood bill which
was terminated by ruling from the
chair that, beginning on Dec. 10. it
would be the unfinished business aud
that at the close of the morning hour
each day it would be laid before the
senate unless displaced by vote Of
that body.
The house passed the bill to appro-
pirate $4,000 to defray the expenses
Of the anthracite coal strike commits
sion and then adjourned until Friday,
when the London dock charge bill will
be considered There We're two hours
of discussion on the commission bill,
during which the presidents course in
creating the commission was highly
commended except by Mr.. Benton. a
Missouri Democrat, who contended that
the commission was created without
authority of law or constitution. There
was some criticism of the feature of
the bill allowing double salaries to
mernbers of the commission now in
government employ and also because
the bill left the amount of the cOmpen-
sati0n of the members to the presi-
dent But all amendments We're voted 7
down. The bill was passed without di-
vision.

 Lines Attached to a Runaway.
 Manchester, July 25.-The passen- gers on the 7:32 a. m. train and those who were in the vicinity of Depot square at that hour yesterday were witnesses of a thrilling occurrence. A few minutes before the train came in sight NJ. Madden, south end express man, drove up to the station to deliver a trunk and baby carriage. He had his four year old girl on the seat of his business wagon. Madden was en- gagged in unloading the carriage and trunk when the train reached the crossing and the. horse, being under no restraint ran. It went across De- pot square and over the tramway com pany's tracks with one bound and one end of the wagon seat fell down. The little girl went down with it, but she held to- the seat with one hand and to the lines with the other
 The horse, after crossing the square, continued down North Main street at a furious clip and all efforts to catch it were unsuccessful. It ran with the child holding to the seat of the wagon, turned the bend in the high way below Union street and kept up it's clip. When near the Methodist church the horse became winded and slackened it's pace. A man in the vie cinity crawled over the tailboard of the wagon and getting the reins brought the horse to standstill. The child was badly frightened, but suf- fered no injury and there was no dam age to the rig.
