Despite his "a years and the fact that
he was fatigued by a long days work

course and no one was injured save the
old man.
Kirkland was tagging freight train
when he saw white horse hitched to
a delivery wagon bearing down upon
him from Lake street. Several children
were playing in the street further down
and seeing that their lives were in dan
ger, the old man dropped his flag and
started to meet the horse. He stood in
encl animal made directly for him.
At the critical moment he stepped
little to one side and lunged for the
bride. He missed and the front wheels
Of the wagon struck him fairly on the
hip, hurting him to the ground with
great fierce: He vas picked up aappar-
T TS to the city HOSPITAL in the aT patrol
wagon Here the physicians found

Later in the evening he was removed
to the st: Barnabas hospital by the rail

carious condition on account of his age
and recovery is doubtful. If
All efforts to find the white horse or
it's owner have been fruitless, altho
members of the family and the police
have looked all day. -..>

TAWNEY'S VIEW DIFFERS
Congressman Thinks Democrats Have
Given Up Parker.

New York Sun Special Service
Chicago, Sept. 28.-After a careful
canvass of the situation and close
study of the conditions which have de-
ye!oped thus far in the national cam.
has reached the conclusion that the
democratic national committee practic-
ally has given up hope of electing AL
ton B. Parker.
This campaign is interesting only
for it's peculiarities, said Mr.. Tawney.
"Not the least peculiar thing about it
is the closing Of the headquarters of the
democratic congressional committee in
Washington. / believe, and my opinion
is borne out by what I have been told
by credible democratic authority, that
the national committee is devoting most
of it's energies to an effort to change
the complexion of the lower house of
congress.
Mr.. Tawney says that he was warned
by prominent New York democrat,
now a member of Tammany, that the
republicans would have the hottest con-
gressional fight on their hands the coun-
try has seen in years. BY lulling the
republican machine to sleep in the
strong republican states like Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and the eastern states,
the democrats hope, according to the
theory of Mr.. Tawney, to slip into the
doubtful states and capture them. ~rE

The Union Pacific to take over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and by
that route come direct to Chicago.

Financial and railroad circles in Chi

country, startled today by the prelim.
plan for the. settlement Of the Northern
Securities litigation and of the Hill
hartman Morgan dispute over the ia
nous merger case, and for the forma-
ton of a community of INTEREST," plan
sc broad in it's sweep as to take in prop
critics reaching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
( There has been no definite confrma-
ton of the report, but the story as It

spread attention and tho 'Iecnest inter-
est is evinced.
Peace Conferences On.
The basis Of the reports is in the con-
ference now being held in New York.
These are attended by James j. Hill, e.
II. Hartman, j. Pierpont Morgan, A. J.
Cassatt, E. j. Beriwind and others of
the, leading railroad map-makers of the
nation.
From sources usually we'll informed
on the moves of these interests, the
story came today, but entirely in the
form of rumors, sufficient, however, to
induce general buying Of the securities
affected by the reported combination.
The report is that the first move will
be harmonious ending of the North
ern Securities litigation. The merger
will be dissolved and the property dis
tributed in a manner satisfactory to the
federal authorities who prosecuted the
case and at the same time satisfactory
to the big interests behind it.

Paris, Sept. 29.-A dispatch to the
Echo de Paris, from St. Petersburg says
that the czar has received a telegram
from Viceroy Alexief today, confirming
the report Of the capture Of Fort Kuro-
patkin, at Port Arthur. But he says
the fort was not Of prime Importance.
He denies that the town is in want of
water as reported. The situation, he
says, is serious but not desperate. Pro-
visions are abundant, but ammunition is
not so plentiful. The Cavet siege guns
of the forts are showing the effects of
wear, and are difficult to work.
r ST. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-The in
formation received at the war Office
concerning the situation at Port Arthur
is not reassuring. The blockade at last
seems to be effective. Admiral Togo s
ships are arresting all the iunks which
try to enter the harbor and are sending
them to Port Dalny. It is feared that
this complete isolation may react on the
spirits Of the garrison.
