A Thrilling Experience.

George H. Richardson had thrill
ing experience last evening which he
has no desire to repeat. While driv-
ing Harry Shaw's horse in a buggy
across the bridge, he met an automo-
bile, at which the horse took fright,
and required Mr.. Richardson and 9th
ers assisting, to get it safely over. He
then drove on out to Barrackville
and back, when on his return he met
the same auto on the west end of the
bridge. The horse at once became
seized with it's former fright even to
the point of unmanageable madness.
Others rushed to the rescue and as
sisted in freeing it from the buggy,
until it took three men to hold it, and
withall when midway, came near
throwing itself over the railing into
the river. They did not succeed in
getting it under control until the
bridge had been crossed. Worn out
in strength, as well as strained and
skinned about the wrists in holding
on, Richardson then turned over the
horse to two colored men to take
home while he rested, and then footed
it on home, saying he would have
nothing more to do with that horse
in any shape or form He added, that.
while in the army he had handled
scary horses and wild horses, but new
er one yet SO crazed with fright, and
in it's madness as this
one. Feeling relieved that none of
them We're killed, and that he had re-
turned the horse to its owner still
alive, he rubbed his brow and moved
resolved that he would
have nothing more to do with it. even
to befriend his neighbor.

evening when he found a note from
the Tammany chief awaiting him.
This note, written on the regular
Tammany note head, is as follows:-
Hon. John Fox, Democratic Club
Dear Senator:-I regret extremely
my inability to attend the reception
tonight given by the club to the mem
bers of the National Democratic cong
mittee because of an important ap-
pointment made few days ago which
it is impossible for me to break
Hoping that the reception will be
a gratifying success in every way, l
remain sincerely yours.
CHARLES F. MURPHY
This note discouraged Judge Par
kers friends, but they still believed
that Mr.. Murphy's immediate advis-
ors would be present. J. Sargent
Cram, Senator Victor Bowling, John
j. Delaney, w. Bourl1e Cochran and
Tax Commissioner O'DonnelI were
appeared, however. Mayor Mcclellan
sent regrets also, and his secretary,
John F. O'Brien, who usually repre-
sents him on occasions of this kind
when he is unable to be present, was
absent
The action of Mr.. Murphy and his
friends caused no end of comment
among the National committeeman,
who looked forward to meeting him.
They were surprised and disappoint-
ed and resented the slight which they
believed had been shown them. While
they would not talk for publication
they intimated that Mr.. Murphy's ac-
ton would be remembered by them
IN the future, and that if he should
have occasion to take part in a Ma
tional situation he would meet with
say about it.
Few local Democrats of prominence
were present, the organization being
by Johu w. Kellar, Asa
Bird Gardiner, Bird S. Coler, Judge
Foster. Joseph F. Mulqueen and 9TH
ars who were prominent during the
Croker regime. Among the independ-
ant Democrats present were Aque-

is years old on the day she was taken
with the first hemorrhage of the
lungs, which was followed with 9th
ers in succession, and rapidly eX-
hausted her strength and vitality, cul-
minating with death in Is days from
her first attack. She was of bright,
CHEEKY disposition, and hopeful of re-
covery, even to the very last stage OF
her brief Illness. Her may friends,
old and young, with whom she was
ever popular. would have fain wished
that her life could have been spared
to them and the family, but it could
not be. The sympathy of her many
friends go out to the family in this
sad affection, and to her sister Flos-
sic, also lying in an adjoining room
sick of fever, during all the days of
her sisters illness, and on whom the
shock of her sudden and lamentable
death will fall with heavier weight.

The fight for nomination for
county attorney at the primaries
in Septem Der was one of the hot
test on the entire ticket. Mr..

usually large percentage of the
criminal cases which has arised
during his term, has been par
ticularly careful in examining all
bills presented to the county and
has saved the county hundreds
of dollars by appealing bills
which he deemed unjust, and he
has clearly shown himself to be
one Of the brightest and ablest
lawyers in the county. Mr..
Loud should receive the vote of
every loyal republican.
