We are receiving very encourag-
ing reports from all over the coun
ty that the Republican farmers and
laboringmen are gong to vote solid

that places the burden OF taxation
upon their shoulders and let's the
corporations and railroads and
other ak dodgers go scot free.

We would suggest to the Repub-
lican farmers and laboringmen that
they ask the Journal why it was that
the Republican new tax bill com
pels them to pay their taxes by No
vember first in order to get the y
per cent discount, and gives the
corporations and railroads until
January Goth to pay their taxes and
allows them the az per cent dis
count. That's what the poor tax
payer cannot understand. Why is
he Disseminated against ? Let the
Journal answer.

TEAM RUNS AWAY.
Span Of Horses Gives Policemen a
Rapid Run.

A runaway team caused a sensation yes
terday afternoon at o'clock on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. A span of horses attached
to brougham became frightened at the
portable engine used in connection with
the excavation for a sewer on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue near the corner of 18th street
and dashed up that thoroughfare at great
speed. AT the corner of 18th street Sergt
c. l.. Bode of the bicycle squad and Bicy-
Gle Policeman Lynn of the first precinct
whose duties for the day were ended, saw
the team coming and Immediately gave
chase. With an officer on each side, the
horses continued their mad flight lodging
pedestrians and vehicles as they went
along. The colored driver, William Davis,
was on the seat and using frantic efforts
to check their speed.
AT the corner of 18th street the horses
dashed around the curve and continued up
the hill and around the curve at the juno
ton with New York avenue. The officers
made several attempts to catch the reins
during the wild chase, but fearing they
would meet with an accident, owing to the
slippery condition of the street and the OBJ
struction formed by the car tracks. thew

BLOCKING OF CROSSINGS.
Remind Steam Railway
Companies Of Existing Regulations.

Companies Of Existing Regulaaons'
The District authorities declare that the
public shall not be subjected to unneces-
sary inconvenience and delay by reason OF
the blocking of street crossings by steam
railroad trains. and the officials of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad will be notified
the police regulations concerning the stop
page and movement of trains across streets.
The police department will also be directed
to see that the regulations are enforced.
The necessity for this proposed action by
the District authorities was made evident
from the report of Inspector A. l.. Thomas
of the engineer department, who called at
tention to the seemingly unnecessary de-
lays" in moving trains across Massachu-
sets avenue at Delaware avenue north
east on the Baltimore and Ohio Company
tracks.
Inspector Thomas reported that yesterday
morning he was obliged to walt eighteen
minutes for the movement of a coal train
across this street and that during that time
''hfty-f1ve teams, a mail collector, and 1SO
pedestrians. by actual count, were held up
until the train men saw fit at my request
to cut the train and let travel through"
This occurrence" continues Mr.. Thomas,
rs not infrequent, and on previous occa-
sions when delays have occurred there APP
peared to be no more reason for them than
in the present instance"
The terminal work, says Mr.. Thomas, has
closed many streets that it is particu-
larly desirable that this crossing be OBJ
structed as little as possible, and he sug-
gested that the railroad officials be notified
that strict compliance with the police
regulations will be required.
Acting Commissioner Morrow today APP
proved the recommendation.

VICTIMS OF THE GALE.
Two Schooner Derelicts Sighted at Sea
-Nobodv Aboard.

NEW YORK. October 2O.-Two disman-
tied abandoned, waterlogged schooner
hulks, probably victims of the fierce gale
which recently swept the southern Atlantic
coast, were sighted by Capt. Evans of the
Mallory Line steamer Denver. which ar
rived here today from Galveston and Key
West.
One of the wrecks was seen off George
town, S. c., and is thought to have been
the British schooner Syanara, the crew OF
which was brought here yesterday by the
steamer Apache. She was floating very
low in the water and her after part was
burning slowly
The other hulk. which was lying about
thirty miles off the Florida coast, was that
of a white three-masted schooner, appar-
emily a Nova Scotian: The seas were
breaking over her fore and aft and there
was no sign of life on board. Many bum
dies of shingles were floating around her.
Both wrecks were lying in the path or
coastwise steamers and are menace to
navigation. The Denver had boisterous
passage through the Gulf of Mexico and
up the Florida coast, but came through
without damage
