Runaway Causes
Much Excitement

Just about noon Wednesday a
runaway caused considerable ex-
element along Water street. A gro
Gerry team belonging to Calvin Cole,
grocer, and driven by Harold Grimes,
was returning from deliveries down
Winthrop Hill. At point just
above Middle Street the horse sud-
denly bolted. He ran down Winthrop
Hill, made a sharp turn into Water
street. struck an automobile belong
ing to Mr.. Thurber. which was stand
ing in front of the Cash Market,
bending the mud-guard and infiict-
ing some other minor damage. In
front Of Bradstreets he spilled out
the driver, who was fortunately only
famed by the fall. Then he ran on
down Water street. until at the foot
of Vaughan street. He struck b
telegraph pole and freed himself
from the cart, breaking the thrills.
He was caught little further on and
ridden back. Later the carriage was
salvaged by men sent from Niles's
stable. Considering the mad pace
OF the horse, and the possibilities
for accident, the casualties were
slight.

considerable historic interest. 1t is
the log book of his maternal grand
father. Capt. Henry McGilvery, and
is headed: Journal, 1S63-1S65.
The first entry is under date of
Monday, Sept. Z, 1853. The various
entries give the usual details of
winds, latitude. and longitude, and
also any unusual details of the voy-
ages. The first voyage is from New
York to Hong Kong. Usually the
entries are impersonal, but occas
sionally one shows personal feeling,
as. This is awful-calms and head

saw two other ships distressed. An
entry that has the flavor of romance
is. "Signalled the ship Albatross, 81

suggestions is, MADE Sandalwood

Current Events Club Meets

Current Events Club held its
regular meeting yesterday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. John NJ. Robin
son. Various items OF business We're
brought up. The club voted it's en-
dorsement of the work of the Anti
Narcotic League Of Los Angeles,
which is headed by Mrs. Wallace
Reid The question of n contribu-
ton to the Samaritan Home, Ban
gor, was discussed, and at the close
of the meeting it was decided that
il the proceeds of the coming silver
tea should admit of it after the other
OBLIGATIONS were met, to send q small
contribution. The matter Of joining
the Maine Forestry Association was
tabled. A number of letters propose
ing various matters, were also tabled
There was some discussion of the
time and place of the annual field
day, but no decision was arrived at.
The paper of the afternoon was
written by Mrs. George Morse on the
subjects OF 1.-The Friends" Mrs.
Morse was unavoidably absent from
the meeting. and her paper was read
by Miss Elizabeth McCiench. 1t
was a clear and interesting account
of the work of the Friends. Mrs.
Morse began with the earliest move
ment in England under George Fox,
and gave brief outline Of the his
tory of the faith in England and
America. She stressed particularly
the fine work that the Quallers have
done along educational lines, and
their reconstruction work in the
world war. Their record is one of
which tkey may legitimately feel
proud.
At the close Of the paper there
was a brief discussion and then thf
various members gave their current
events. One Of special interest was
an account Of the recent discovery
In Mexico OF remains of civiliza-
ton at least nine thousand years
earlier than anything before found
in that locality and clearly Mongo-
liam in origin. Another Of interest
was the immense possibilities in
electric power generated by water
power and the consequent valuable
saving in coal. A local current event
of much interest that provoked con-
siderable discussion was the recent
gift of a playground to the city OF
Halowell. BY vote of the club sec
rotary was instructed to express to
the donor, Miss Bertha Vaughan OF
Cambridge. Mass, their appreciation
Of her generosity. After the current
events there was a brief social hour
during which particularly delightful
refreshments were served. Little
