The sorrel horse owned by Mr.. Sol
Block. of Columbus, who together with
his family is spending the summer
here at the Hotel Miller. ran away
Tuesday evening on Msdriver street
At the time the horse was hitched to
surrey the occupants of which were
Mrs. Block and her son Eugene, aged
three years. The horse frightened near
the Cowman home. at the intersection
of Madriver and Chillicothe streets,
and ran as far north as the SIamats
home before Mrs Block succeeded in
getting 1t under control. While the
animal was dashing furiously along
the thorouehfare the little son held
tightly to the mother who made trial
after trial to stop the flight
of the steed until at last, although
well nigh exhausted. she was success
full. The wild runaway was witnessed
by scores who never expected to see the
occupants of the surrey escape without
serious if not fatal injuries. The re-
markable nerve and good judgment
displayed by Mrs. Block was the main
topic of conversation, after the excite
ment, among those who witnessed the
narrowing scene. Mrs Emil Geiger
and her friend Miss We'll. of New
York, had Just left the surrey when
the horse frightening at the sound OF
a rickety wagon started on the wild
sprint. Had not onlookers waved hands
and papers wildly before the horse as
it ran the animal would not have run
nearly onto the sidewalk at the home
of Judge Dow and Mrs. Block could
have gotten it under control sooner.
Today Mrs Block is driving the horse
as usual. She has been driving horses
for fourteen years and this is the firsi
time she has ever had a horse attempt
to run away.

Divide.
MAN
Began Life as Farm
Hand
And Ended His Work Here
Among Scenes that We're
Luxurious.

Toledo. July 13.-Samuel NJ. Jones,
the golden rule mayor. died at his
home last evening at 5:07 o'clock as
the result of a complication of dis
eases. The immediate cause of his
death was an abscess on his lungs.
When this abscess broke the mayor
was not strong enough to throw of
the poison from his system and death
resulted. The mayor had suffered for
years from asthma and this was the
primary cause of his fatal illness.
The death of Mayor Jones has caus-
ed the greatest sorrow all over the
city. Although many did not believe
in his ideas on sociological problems.
everybody loved and respected him.
His one great stronghold with the
people OF Toledo was his honesty.
The mayor was taken.ill two weeks
ago last Thursday and for the last 4S
hours previous to his death was in a
comatose condition. All the members
of his family were at his bedside at
the time of his death. He leaves a
widow and three sons. He will be
succeeded as mayor by Robert Rinch,
president of the city council.
Mr.. Jones was born in Wales in
1876. When he was years old his
parents came to America and settled
In New York state. In 1864 he went
to the Pennsylvania oil fields and
worked as an engineer. After the
death of his first wife in 1886 he NOV
ed to Lima, o.. and struck the first
large oil well in Ohio. In 1892 he
moved to Toledo and in 1894 started a
factory for making oil pumping ap-
paratus. In 1897 he was elected mayor
and was reelected three times. In
1899 he polled over 100000 votes as a
non-partisan candidate for governor
of Ohio

Great interest continues in Washing
ton art circles over the discovery of
the valuable paintings left by Colonel
William Penn Clark, years ago editor
of Bellefontsine paper, the Logan
Gazette. Notwithstanding the fact
that the veteran collector had cata
logued his treasures he left, so far as
it is known, no record of the previous
owners of the paintings nor any his
tory which would show their real val
ue to the world of art. Among the
paintings the experts have found a
genuine Vandyke, one of his finest
works, and no less highly esteemed
than some by his master, Rubens a
touching story OF its purchase was
learned 1t appears that ut a time
when Colonel Clark was in his deepest
financial distress he spent several hours
in diligent search In old art stores for

Van1yke portrait. painted when the
artist was at his best and when he
lived in Flanders between 1926 and
1851. The old devotee carried to his
grave the local history of this painting
but ii is believed that IL once adorned
the walls of a foreign embassy in
Washington. When Col Clark found
it he bought 1t for the modest sum of
s.. which represented his entire means
on the day of the purchase. Among
those which found the most favor from
a commercial viewpoint were several
representing the best work of the
Dutch school of art. One of the very
valuable works is "A Stiff Breeze by

GREELEY IN THE ROCKIES.
The Wny He sobercd Up n Boisterous
Hotel Crowd

In the "NIemoirs of Henry Willard"
there is chapter in which the au-
thor describes meeting with Gree
ley in the Rockies. The "1'ribune
philosopher" having met with an ac-
cident which crippled him for several
weeks, was an unwilling guest at the
Denver House, the only "hotel" in the
city, rude shack of a building, with
canvas partitions, the greater part
given up to the bar and gaming ta-
blcs, and therefore not place con-
1ucive TO the quiet and repose of in
valids. Mr.. Willard noticed change
gradually taking place In the usually
benign features of the philosopher,
his Christian virtues gradually losing
control over him, until finally one day
he lost his temper completely and
swore at his disturbers 80 violently
that l dared not believe my ears"
His wrath, however, did not culml-
nate until the third night of his tor
lures. About 10 o'clock he got up and
limped into the barroom, where he

peals ever heard TO those around him

his object. The gambling stopped, and

A New Machine Gun.

A new machine gun, invented by a
young soldier named Eugene Dumor-
tier of the 1i5th Infantry Regiment,
is receiving the close attention of the
committee on new inventions at the
French War Office. Dumortier claims
that the gun will completely sweep a
given zone, leaving no intervening
space in which it would he compara-
lively safe for any body of troops to
move. While one battery of the gun
is firing at range of 1000 yards an
other will simultaneously fire at 800
yards, increasing or diminishing its
range as may be necessary. The gun
rests on a four-wheeled carriage, and
works on an adjustable swivel steel
platform, so that it can be turned in
any direction. Each of the two bat
terles has ten barrels, and the maya
zine is loaded automatically. 1t is said
that 450 Lebel balls can be fired per
