An Exciting Runaway.

A runaway horse went up Water street
at about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
running faster than any horse vas ever
seen to run on the street before. Inc
horse was attached to a sleigh WHICH
struck practically every other vehicle Oh
the street. Z. NJ. Dolfoff's sleigh got inc
hardest knock of all and the back part
of it was nearly demolished. The horse
was stopped near Bridge street and taken
to Burns stable, where the animal. tirea
and dripping with perspiration, was wen
cared for. The frightened amman came
across the Gardiner and Randolph
bridge. and from his condition it seemed
that he had run long distance. For
long time the runaway could rot DE
identified. Late in the evening however
1t was learned that the rig belonged l"
DR.. Washburn of Augusta, and that the
horse started his wild fight from the IN
sane hospital in Augusta. Neither the
horse nor the sleihg was damaged, Dut
medicine chest was lost somewhere on the
way.

EVERY MAN WHO FOUGHT IN
THE MEXICAN AND CIVIL
WARS Is BENEFITED.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
After struggling for years over, the
subject. congress is finally ready to
enact a service pension bill that will
give a pension to every man who serv-
ed in the civil war. The senate recent
ly passed the bill and it has been unan-
pass whenever called up. The bill does
not require any proof of disability,
merely proof of service which must
have been at least for a period of 80
this proposed legislation is 'variously
estimated by officials at between S.
100000 and $15,OOO,00O a year. The
bill includes Mexican war veterans and
gives $12 month to veterans who are
81 years of age; SIS month to those
who are 20 years Of age, and when the
age of IS years has been reachd max
imum pension of $40 a month is paid
There has been practically no opposi-
ton to this legislation. both the presi-
dent and the commissioner of pensions
giving it their approval.
Men in public life, particularly those
from the western states, have repeat
eddy called attention during the pres
ent session of congress to the urgent
need of legislation with respect to the
administration of affairs connected
with public lands of the government
These appears to be little hope of any
thing being accomplished this session
as the time is now too far advanced
towards the day of adjournment and
the disposition of members to take up
the matter is not forceful enough to
compel action.
AS all the readers of newspapers wi"
recall. some of the biggest scandals in
public life of recent years have grown
out of these public land matters: sew
eral prominent officials have been in
dicted, tried and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for their violations of law, and
upwards of hundred persons are
still awaiting trial on the charge OF
having become possessed of public

POOR CHILDREN OF WATERBURY,
CONNECTICUT, ARE TREATED
TO RARE DAY.
slE|eHs DRAWN BY s24 HORSES

WATERBURY, Conn.,, Feb 5.-As
Of the city Ralph Blakeslee, a business
man, yesterday gave the biggest
sleighride party in the history of the
world. For three hours Mr.. Blakes-
lee, with handsome pair of calico"
circus horses, drove about at the head
OF 5000 wildly cheering youngsters.
The children occupied $50 big
sleighs drawn by 324 horses. Gov.
Woodruff, who was expected to head
the procession, was unable to be pres
ent, so Mayor Thomas rode in his
stead. By way of further Endorsement
the mayor sent his own children to
pile into the bob along with the con-
tingent from the News Boys club and
the Friendly Aid society.
The Blakeslee sleigh ride is now
looked upon as a fixed annual event.
One biting winter morning, five years
ago, Mr.. Blakeslee was driving a spir-
tied trotter when a ragged lad leaped
upon the runner. The man in the fur
lned coat DrdnQlSneQ MS whip anu
ordered him off.
"All right, mister!" exclaimed the
boy, but 1 don't get chance to ride
on a sleigh very often"
Origin Of the Rides.
Thereupon Mr.. Blakeslee took the
trespasser into his vehicle, wrapped
him in a bearskin robe and drove him
about until noon.
"Gee!" caid the passenger, wait till
| the gang hears of this This fur
nished the inspiration.
1T set me thinking" said Mr..
! Blakeslee, that if this one cold kid
could get so much fun out of a. rIue
| with a grumpy old man, how much
would the crowd enjoy it if they co'il':
all go together and have plenty OF
horns to blow"
In the following winter he fitted out
| pair of trucking sleighs and an
nounced a free ride.
More than 100 disappointed youngs-
tiers We're left behind because there
