EXCITING
Runaway Occurs On High
Street Saturday Morning

An exciting runaway occurred on
West High street Saturday morning
at about 1880 o'clock. A farmer, re-
siding west of the city, was driving
horse, hitched to a buggy, along the
road when the animal suddenly be-
came frightened at some object along
the road. In an effort to quiet the
unruly beast, it became frantic and
started to run away. In turning cor
ner, the buggy was upset, throwing
the man to the ground, and the har-
ness was broken in such a manner
that the horse was allowed to slip
free from the buggy. Thus disengag-
ed, it continued its mad pace across
West High street bridge and up the
street as far as the B. & o. tracks
where a man made an attempt to
catch it. In this, he was unsuccessful
and after being dragged for some con-
siderable distance, was forced to let
go his hold in order to insure his own
safety. Turning up the tracks, the
horse ran as far as Chestnut street,
where it was finally captured. The
man, who was thrown from the buggy
escaped injury with the exception of
number of minor bruises. His name
could not be learned.

INTEREST GROWS LESS.
British Campaign Orators Seem I
Have Exhausted Their Subjects.

London, Jan. THE energy of the
political campaign by speech and by
letter is unriminished, but by reason
Of the exhaustion of argument by the
opposing sides it is becoming less in
teresting.
Lord Lansdowne at Salisbury and
Lord Curzon at Brighton, both chal-
lenged tonight the validity Of the law
which provides that members of the
House of Lords may not take part III
the campaign after the election writs
are issued. which will be on Monday.
Both condemned forcing the peers to
keep silence and Lord CurZon charac-
teriZed the rule as arbitrary and alb
surd. John Burns, president of the To-
cal government board, speaking at
Battersea, said the tariffs have caused
nearly all wars that religions have not,
and that tax on timber might lead to
war with the United States. He said
he considered speech delivered by A
]. Balfour, leader of the opposition ir
the House Of Commons, in which
alarmist references were made to Ger

| thing that ever had happened in pub,
| lie life. In an election address just is
sued Mr.. Burns declared himself in ia,
vor of an Irish Parliament, provided
the imperial supremacy is maintained

The Earl of Halsbury, who was lord
chancellor in Mr.. Balfour's cabinet as
an argument for a big navy, mas
brought forth a letter written in 1SS.
by Gen. Gordon, predicting the rise
| in quarter of a century of greater
naval power than Great Britain, name
| ly, Germany.
The first serious disaster of the cam
paign, which entailed one death and
| injuries to many persons, occurred in
| the eastern section Of London tonight

A great crowd was besieging the hal

corting the Liberal candidate, Mr.

| the congestion became SO great that
the ratings around the hall collapsed
and a score of persons fell into the
area, which was several feet deep. One
man was killed by the fall and 10 were
more or less seriously injured. The
meeting was abandoned.
Among the first men to be reelected
to the new Parliament will be Arthur
]. Balfour for the city of London, and
Joseph Chamberlain for Birmingham,
West, neither of whom will be opposed
According to the present arrangements,
81 constituencies will be polled Jan. Is,
and the results in these will be sufti-
cient to give a good idea of how the
struggle is going. AS an indication of
the small field as yet cultivated by the
Labor party, only 80 Labor and Social
list candidates arc now before the cleo
tors. while there are 81 counties in
Wales and Scotland where no Labor or
Socialist candidate is up for election.
There are many signs of dissension in
the Nationalist ranks. The official can
didates are being opposed in many
places by independents chosen by To-
cal conventions.
