KILLED IN RUNAWAY.
Creamery owner Dead and Wife Fatal
iy Injured.

Clinton, Wis, Aug. A fractions
horse, owned by A. f. Weaver of this
city, ran away. The owner was killed,
his wife is dying and another woman,
several blocks from the scene of the
accident came near death.
Mrs. A. E. Weaver, who was thrown
out of the carriage in which she was
driving with Aer husband, at tae mo-
ment that he received fatal injuries,
was struck by lightning about a year
ago. Her condition has been serious
since then, and this combined with
the injuries, it was expected early
yesterday, would cause ner death.
Mrs. Griswold, the wife of Dr. Girls
void, prominent physician in this
city, heard cries up the road while sit
ting in her home Wednesday night.
She came outside to see what was
wrong, and stepped into the roadway.
Suddenly the Weaver horse, in a
mad flight, was upon her. A aoof
caught Mrs. Griswold's skirts and tore
them, so near did the animal pass; but

sne escaped without being knocked
down. The saoek has affected her,
however.
Mr.. Weaver, who 35 years old, and
owner of several creameries near here,
and who formerly lived at Darien, was
taking mis- invalid wife for a drive
when the accident took place. No one
knows what started the horse on the
runaway.
In making curve the carriage was
turned partly over and both occupants
thrown with terrific force against a
telephone wire pole on the side of the
street. Mr.. Weayer's jaw and skull
sustained fractures, and he received
enough int rnal injuries to be killed.
says the examining physician Mrs.
Weaver suffered several fractures, but
the most serious injuries were found to
be internal and on ner head.

road. the elevator interests and the
strong Duluth board of trade.
The attitude of the Great Northern
road in the fight which is impending
is the most surprising factor. Before
the amendments to the grain bill
were sent to Madison with the en-
dorsement of the local grain men a
conference was held with the Great
Northern people and it was under

that time and voiced in the amend

all concerned.

Excursion Steamer.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 4.-Bernard
Scott, colored, is held by the police on
the remarkable charge of having at
tempted to cause the explosion of the
boiler of the Jane Mosely. an excur-

board between 400 and 500 people,
mostly colored, when Engineer Jcnes
discovered Scott in The act Of renlov-
ing portion Of the machinery Ae-
cord.Gg to the engineer, the removal
of one more screw would have caused
the boiler to explode and a horrible
catastrophe would have followed.
When the excursionists learned of
SCOTS attempt he was with difficulty
saved from violence at their hands.

that under present circumstances il

New Orleans, Aug. although
yesterdays record of the yellow fever
situation showed an increase in the
number of new cases, 81 as against
80 Wednesday, and a considerable
spread of the centers of infection, IL
new foci being reported yesterday
and four Wednesday, the number OF
deaths decreased from IL on Wednes-
day to FIVE yesterday and the situa-
ton was regarded by the health Off
GERS as hopeful.
1t is thought that the announcement
that Governor Blanchard had actually
ordered the naval brigade under arms
and dispatched it in the mosquito
feet of the oyster commission to the
Louisiana-M Mississippi boundary, while
it attracted attention, there is abso-
lutely no apprehension that any seri-
Gus collision will occur. 1t is prob
able that movements to bring italian
immigrants here on large scale will
suffer as one of the results OF the few
er. partly by reason of the terror
which the present infection has spread
among the Italians and partly by rea-
son of the entirely unwarranted preju-
dice which seems to have arisen
against extensive Italian colonization.
Much surprise was expressed at the
state board of health over the an
nouncement of the appearance of a
case of yellow fever at Alexandria.
Rapides parish had taken extraor-
binary measures to keep out infection
and it was thought that none of the
fugitive Italians would be able to pass
the Gordon of guards with which she
had surrounded herself The Alex
andria case was traced to New Or
leans and that opens up the question
established in the country parishes.

Washington, Aug, 4.-Secretary
Shaw has notified Governor Blanchard
of Louisiana that if any unauthorized
acts and abuses of discretion have

Berlin, August 4.-No confirmation
