MOODY INJURED in RUNAWAY.
Secretary Of Navy Has Close Call
at Annapolis.

Annapolis, jan. 13.-Secretary OF
the Navy William H. Moody was seri-
ously, but not dangerously, injured at
the naval academy grounds yesterday
In a runaway accident. Accompanied
by Senator Hale, the secretary arrived
here at 2 O'clock to inspect the newt
buildings being erected in the naval
academy grounds, being driven from
the railroad station in Superint
Brownson's private carriage. The
battalion Of cadets were drawn up in
line of salute just inside the academy
grounds and as the carriage bearing
the secretary, Senator Hale and their
escort, Lieutenant POINTER, passed in
review, salute of seventeen guns
belched forth from the guns on the
Santee wharf. The FESTIVE horses at
tached to the carriage swerved sud-
denly and got beyond the control Of
the driver. The breaking of the pole
of the carriage as the spirited an
imals dashed down the roadway
served to render them more excited.
AS the maddened animals dashed
down the hill toward College creek
the driver, seeking to stop them, sud-
denly turned their heads into a vacant
lot between two houses. Secretary
Moody, who had opened the door Of
the carriage as the horses dashed over
the frozen ground, suddenly leaped to
the pavement as the carriage, made
the turn in the enclosure. He landed
on his face on the pavement and was
rendered unconscious by the shock.
The secretary was carried to the near
by residence of Superintendent Brown
son, where he shortly recovered con-
seriousness. Slight cuts and bruises
on his forehead, face and nose are
thought to be the extent of the in
juries. Neither Senator Hale nor
Lieutenant POINTER was injured, as
the horses were brought up against
wall soon after making the turn into
the lot.
