tally Injured on Third
Avenue.
RELATED" IN NORWALK.
Knocked Down by‘a Runaway Horse Who Ran
. on the Sidewalk. V
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-—One of the de-
livery wagons of John Matthews’ soda
water firm was crossing Second avenue
atTt'enty-third street- yesterday after-
noon when the whiflietree broke. The
pieces beat the horse about the hind
legs, causing the animal to run away.
At Third avenue the horse ran on the
sidewalk. Pedestrians heard the rack-
et and ran in terror. Two men who
were coming right against the runaway,
cl se behind each other, were run down
a .d left bleeding on the sidewalk as
l~—.’le horse sped on.
A moment later the horse crossed
Eourth avenue. Citizens and policemen,
warned of its coming, fell upon it
and held it. The two injured men were
Col. Edgar M. Crawford, a tobacco
merchant, of 168 Water street, and
George Dovas, a Greek publisher, of
M5 East Forty- sixth street. Mr. Graw-
ford was sulfering from a had cut on
the head. Mr. Dovas’s back was in-
jured and he was in great pain. Both
were taken to Bellevue Hospital when
the ambulance came. The horse was
' not injured.
Mr. Crawford died several hours
later in Bellevuc Hospital. His body
was removed to the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. George Butterworth, at 104
EaSt Thirtieth street. ‘
Directly after the accident happened
the police made an investigation, and
decided not to arrest William Egan,
the driver of the runaway horse. They
said he was i n no way to blame, as the
horse was entirely beyond his control.
After Mr. Crawford died, however,
they decided to arrest him, but he
could not be found. Col. Crawford
lived with his daughter. He was a.
member of the Military Club.

Comptroller Mead Shows an
lncrease in Receipts
of $230,000.
EXPENSES $278,000 LESS.
A Splendid Showing of the State’s Financial
Condition.
HARTFORD, Dec. 15.—~The annual
report of the comptroller was presented
to Governor Cooke yesterday. It an-
nounces that the receipts from all
sdurces for the civil list funds during
the fiscal year, not including the bal-
ance of $123,027.50 in the treasury Oct.
1, 1897, were $2,612,385.15, an increase
over the previous year of $230,011.48.
The expenditures during the same per-
iod were. $2,271,521, a decrease from the
previous year of $278,558.51, nothwith-
standing the war expenditures of $120,-
000, leaving a balance to the credit of
the civil list funds on the 30th of Sep-
tember, 1898, of $463,891.14. The excess
of receipts over expenditures during
the past year has been $340,863.64,mak-‘
ing a corresponding increase in the
balance of the treasury.
The report then continues: "Some-
thing will soon have to be done to give
more room and better accommodations
to the bnsiness of the state govern-
ment. 1 would recommend that a spe-
cial committee be appointed and in-
structed to take these matters into con-
sideration and recommend such changes
as will bring the necessary relief.”
The report further commends the fi-
nancial legislation accomplished by the
last General assembly; praises the spe-
cific appropriation bill and urges its
continuance and characterizes as a wise
feature of the bill the. board of Con-
trol. Then follow exhaustive statisti-
cal tables covering all departments of
the state finances, practibally in dupli-
cation of those contained in the recent-
ly presented report of the Treasurer.

fire at an early hour this morning.
It is not learned that any of the con-
tents of the buildings were saved.

caused by a spark from a passing lo-
comotive and the blaze had gained such
headway before being discovered that
.the efforts of the firemen to save it
were without avail.

HIT BY TRAMWAY CAR.
Mrs. Michael Devitt and Miss Mary Ryle of
Glenbrook Injured.
While driving in Darien a few days
since Mrs. Michael Devitt and Miss
Mary Ryle. of Glenbrook, were run into
by 3. Norwalk Tramway car and the,
pharton in which they were riding was
overturned and rendered useless.
The occupants were driving within
the car tracks in the same direction as
the car and owing to the high wind
and,the fact they had their coat collars
turned up about their ears, were unable
to hear the warning bell of the ap-
proaching car.
When the car struck the vehicle the
ladies were thrown out and beneath the
overturned wagon. p
While Miss Ryle was not very ser-
iously hurt it is reported that Mrs.
Devitt was injured quite badly.

Queer Funeral Mistak s in Blaine.
There have been some queer mis-
takes made, of all kinds, but this is
one of the most unusual and undesir-
able, although no real harm was done:
A man, 'one time prominent in profes-
sional life of this city, died. He was
a member of a certain society in this
city. which sent representatives to the
funeral. The members of the organ-
ization were notified‘of the death of
their fellow member by postal cards
sent out by the Secretary. One of the
cards was addressed to and delivered
at the late residence of the dead mem-
ber, inviting him to attend his own
obsequies. A similar incident was, if
anything. worse. A member of ase-
cret society died and his fellows were
notified of his death and the time and
place of the funeral, as usual. A card
was delivered at the address of the
dead man, directed to him in his own
handwriting! He had been the Secre-
tary of the organization and had ad-
dressed sets of postal cards to the
members at his leisure. When a mem-
ber died, a set of the addressed cards
were sent to the printer. who printed
the name of the deceased member on
the back with .the other matter used
in the notice. So when the Secretary
died his assistant or successor sent a
set of the cards to the printer. so that
the dead man was sent one addressrul
by his own lumd.'—Portlancl Express.
Buttons Extensively Used.
It is officially announced that buttons
will be extensively used wherever pos-
sible, and that they will, as a rule, be of
considerable size—not always round,
but oval, square, and oblong also.
Cameo effects, it is said, will reappear,
some of these buttons surrounded by a
circle of Rhinestones or very fine-cut
French brilliants. Buttons with buckles
to match of real gold and real silver
will be used. Many years ago the craze
for cheap buttons reached an extrava-
gant height, from three to five dozen
sometimes trimming a single gown,
and tons of metal buttons were manus
factured to supply the demand. Nowa-
days, if buttons are worn as ornaments,
they must be artistic'and valuable. .The
cheap, showy kinds have departed to
the limbo to which wax flowers, wool
mats, shell ornaments, and croohet an-
timacassars are banished. "

Ladies’ cloth, very light in weight
and of exquisite velvet-like surface, in
ivory or cream-white, geranium or mil-
itary red, pale dahlia, or old rose, 01'-
ange, and fawn color, is much used for
guimpes or yokes on tailor costumes of
broadcloth, and when a lighter fabric
is preferred, tucked corded silk or crys-
tal bengaline in similar colors is used.
Some. of the cloth yokes are left plain;
others are overlaid with an entire sec-
ond yoke of open-work silk applique,
passementerie, or braiding. on evening
’.toilets, nets, soft Liberty satlns, India
silks, chiffon, and crepe de Chine are

PEACE JUBILEE A success
Warm Reception for the Presidential
Party. The President Addresses the
Legislature. He Says Sectional Lines-
No Longer .Mar the 31311).
Atlanta (1.1., Dec. 15.—-The presiden-
tial party arrived at eight o’clock yes-
terday morning as noted in the day’s
dispatches. A large crowd was at the
station, despite the cold weather, and
a, rousing cheer went up as the train
came to a stand still.
General Joseph Wheeler was the
first to alight. A strong chorus of
cheers greeted the distinguished Ala-
baman as. accompanied by his daugh—
ter, and the members of the reception
committee, he made his way to a car-
riage. .
When the president appeared on the
rear platform of his car a. hearty cheer
was given him, breaking forth with
renewed vigor an instant later, when
Mrs. McKinley came out of the car.
The welcome to the members of the
cabinet was very cordial.
The men of the president's party
partook of luncheon at noon in the
chief executive's apartments at the
Kimball, while the ladies at the same
hour were the guests of the ladies of
the jubilee committee at a delightfully
informal breakfast dn the ladies’ ordi-
nary of the hotel.
A few minutes before one o’clock
the president’s party were assigned to
carriages and escorted by fifty moun-
ted police and the members of Gover-
nor Candler’s staff, started for the cap-
itol.
Guns boomed the presidential sa-
lute as the chief executive ascended
the steps of the capitol. At the Hun-
ter street entrance the president was
met by a. comrhltttee composed of Col-
onel William G. Obear, acting adju-
tant general, representing Governor
Candler; Senator Hand, representlng
the Senate, and Representative Hard-
wick of the House. and conducted to
the governor's parlor.
Here he was received by Governor
Candler and the state house officials,
after which the general assembly in
joint session received the president
and party and the governor.
After being introduced to the legis-
lature President McKinley said:
“Sectional times no longer mar the
map of the United States. Sectional
feeling no longer holds back the love
we bear each other. Fraternity is
the national anthem, sung by a. chorus
of forty-five states and our territories
at home and beyond the ,seas. The
Union is once more the common atlas
of our love and loyalty, our devotion
and sacrifice. The old flag again
waves over us in peace with new glo-
ries which your sons and ours this
year have added to its sacred folds.
“What cause we have for rejoicing.
saddened only by the fact that so
many of our brave men fell on field
or sickened and died from hardship
and exposure and others returning
bring wounds and disease from which
they will long suffer. The memory
of the dead will be a precious legacy
and the disabled will be the nation’s
care. '
“A nation which cares for its dis-
abled soldiers, as we have always
done, will never lack defenders. The
national cemeteries for those who
fell in battle are proof that the dead
as well as the living have our love.
‘Nhat an army of silent sentinels we
have and with What loving care their
graves are kept.
“Every soldier’s grave made during
our unfortunate civil war is a. tribute
to American valor. And While, when
those graves were made. We differed
widely about the future of this gov-
ernment, the differences were long ago
settled by the arbitrament of arms,
and the time has now come in the evo-
lution of sentiment and feeling under
the providence of God, when, in the
spirit of fraternity, we should share
with you in the care of the graves of
the Confederate soldiers.
“The cordial feeling which now hap-
pily exists between the North and
South prompts this gracious act, and
if it needed further justification it is
found in the gallant loyalty to the
Union and the flag, so conspicuously
shown in the year just passed by the
sons and grandsons of these heroic
dead.”
In the evening a reception was given
the president and party by the Capital
City Club.
