Last Frnday she was making preparations to start for town on a shopping expedition. She was getting into the wagon, when suddenly the horses became frightened and started to run, Mrs. Smith was thrown to the ground, one of the rear whecls of the vehicle passing over her. Mr. Smith who was i the wagon, had dropped one of the lines, but he pulled the other frantically, In the meantime his daughter ran out to help her motaer up, but vefore she could do so, the frightened horses, guided by the siugle rein in the hands of their master, had circled around ana were directly upon the prostrate woman again. Mr. Smith’s tugging and pulling were of no avail and both Mrs. Smith and the daughter passed under the wheels, the former for the second time, The daughiter escaped with no injuries beyond a few bruises, but Mrs. Smith was not so fortunate. An examina- tion by a physician showed that several ribs and the collar bone were broken, and she also received severe internal injuries. Sheis still in u very critical condition and her physician is far from sure that the outcome will be favorable. —_—— No. 104 Broadway contains the best stock of groceries in the city. J. W. Kelley.

WasiiNgtos, Feb, 9. —[Special Telegram to Tuk Ber.]—People who think that Sena- tanford is not a candidate for the presi- ¢ would botter watch the papers. Any close student of the newspapers of the day will not fal to obscrve that the scnator's bapm s on. His literary bureau is at work. Not content with employing a score or wore of California writers, who are sounding his praises from Vancouver's [sland to Key West, hie has been lucky enough to secure the ser- vices of Georgo Alfred Townsend, who 1s sending out in syndicate form a four-column sereed containing on interview with the senator upon every subject under the sun. In that happy, discussive way which Mr. Townsend well knows how to employ, ho interviews Mr. Stanford upon the grape crop in_California, upon the land boom in Los Angeles, upon the growth of his great uni- versity, upon the size of wine vats, upon the complacency of the California legislature, upou thoory and principles how best to run a commercial railroud in an agrienltural coun- try, upon who ought to succeed Uncle Hearst 1f the latter should die, and finally upon whether anybody in California necds to borrow mon rom the government at 2 per cent upon his land holdin The senator froely admits that hoownslands in California in fee simple equal to the whole aroa of the state of Connecticut, but himself does not caro to borrow any moncy on it. N Townsend does not seem to have put the question to the senator whether e has money to loan to his less fortunate neighbos and thercfore it must be assumed that he S not. By the way, it is said that Mr. Stanford's interview cost the Stanford literary burcau 8500 and expenses. e NEWS FROX THE PULPIT. A Chicago Clergyman Wants to Revo- lutionize Methods of Preaching. Cnicago, Feb. [Special Telegram to Tik Brr,]—At the meeting of the Congrega- tional ministers today Dr. Simeon Gilbert read a paper on *“Iruths to Be Made prom- inent,” which caused a lively devate. He commenced by introducing the necessity of news matter in the pulpit. He said the only way to make the truth impress the people was to strike at the leading topics of the day; to find out what the people are thinking about and to use tho subject as a medium for instruction. The ancient proph- ets did this and were the great journalists of their day. That there were no different lights in which to present the scriptures was atheory Dr. Gilbert did not accept. He thought there were and that they should be taken advantage of and hackneyed ways of expressing the truth should be fought clear of. “Re- sponsibility of citizenship,”” he said, *“was an ever ready theme of interest and one in which the truth could and should be clearly shown,” Incidentally Dr. Gilbert paid his espects to M er's lax administra- tion, touching on gambling and other sore spots ina way that wiil interest the mayor when he peruses the paper. i el That of a Man With Knowledge of “Human Gullibilit Prrrsnunan, Tar B Willi extens the papers for a farm. three hundred replies and in each case noti- ficd the seller that his particular farm in every way answered the purposes, but that it would ve necessary to send car fare for the buyer and agent to defray the expenses of @ trip to inspect the property before purchasing.

SewisarieL, 11, Feb, 9.—The joint com- mittee appointed by the thirty-sixth general assembly to investigate the subject of pris- ons, ete., will make a lengthy report to both houses tomorrow. On the sutfject of conviet, 1abor the committe that almost any in- dustry which can be profitably carried on by private parties can be conducted with equal success in prison if the authorities in charge ] essed of adequate business experience and capacity. It is inconceivable that the peo- Flt‘ of Tllingis should wish convicts to be dle while undergoing sentences for crime. As a constitutional amendment prohibits con- tract labor, the general assembly must pro- vide whatéver funds necessary to conduct the labor of couvicts upon state accour The selection of the industries to be followed must be left to the judgment of the prison authorities, unfettered by instructions from the legislature. The injury resulting from the competition of convict and free labor might be reduced to a minimum by certain legislative restrictions, but all such restric- tions would hinder the freedom of choice of the authorities in the selection of a profitable industry and might result in financial disaster to the state. The general assembly is therefore advised to waste no time in discussion of the questionof a par- ticular industry or industrics to be adopted, butto leave this to the discretion of the prison authorities and make an appropria- tion of suficient amount to enable them to employ the prisoners at such industries as promise pecu- niary results, The also treats at great len th ory aiscipline in prison and ommends tho adoption in Illinois of the Elmira, N. Y., plan, which has been adopted in scveral other states. It recommends the establish- ment of a reformatory prison, either as a separate institution or by the conversion of one of the existing penitentiaries, with proper lumitation for aze of the inmates to bo received, se ion of fivst offenders from hardened criminals, the mark system, grades and paroles, vrofitable committee of reforma e e AN COMMONS., The Question of Catholic Eligibility is Again Brought Up.

Sir Richard Evard Webster, the attorney goueral, declined to answer on the ground that eminent lawyers Mffered on the question which would become practical if any government apoointed & Catholic to either of thcse positions.
