NARROW ESCAPE OF A CHILD Daughter of Edward Blumensteln Thrown from Buggy in Run- away, but is Not Hurt, People on Broadway about § o'clock yes- terday afternoon were horrified to see a horse hitched to & light roadwagom, in which a little girl was clinging for dear life, dashing madly down the street. Po- licemen and others made vain attempts to check the animal, but without avail, and it looked as if the child would be dashed to death at any moment. The horse attempted to turn down Fourth street in front of the Masonic temple, but slipped and fell, thus bringing bis mad- dened flight to & sudden halt. The child was thrown from the buggy, but escaped in- jury. Ofcer Kirk, who, fortunately, hap- pened to be nearby, selzed the horse and prevented it starting again. The buggy was badly broken. The horse and buggy belonged to Edward Blumenstein of 1435 North Fifteenth street. Blumensteln got out of the buggy at Twelfth street and was in the act of bitch- ing the horse when a passing motor fright- ened the animal and it broke loose, dash- ing off down Broadway, with Blumenstein's little 6-year-old daughter holding the reins latest and up e goods.

[JUDGE AND POLICE AT WAR Threugh Petty Quarrel Administration of Justice is in Deplorable State. TROUBLE OVER THE GAMBLING HOUSES Court Says the Officers Refuse Give Evidence and Latter Assert Court Does Not Desire the Te to mony. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 6.—(Special.)—The administration of justice in city affairs in Des Moines has come to a deplorable state within the last few months by rea- son of a petty quarrel between the police judge and the heads of the police de- partment. The trouble has arisen largely over the gamblers. There has been dis- agreement as to the policy to be pursued in suppressing or scattering the gambling evil, and while some arrests have been made, thus far but little has been done to punish the gamblers. The police judge accuses the police of being indifterent to the evils in the city and the chief of po- lice says the judge does not want to in- flict punishment. A number of persons were brought before Police Judge Silvara last week, accused of being found in a gambling house, and they were discharged by the court. The judge declared that the policemen did not appear to give evidence in the case, and Chief of Police Brackett says that the policemen were ready to testify, but the court would not let them. The result was that both the court and the police have been making personal threats agalnst each other and the police declare they may take all their business into the justice courts. In the meantime six well-known gambling houses are open every night and the gamblers are not mo- lested. Fire in a Warehouse. A large warehouse owned by Perkins & Perkins, coal dealers, burned to the ground at an early hour this morning. The fire 1s supposed to have started from an elec- tric wire, as there was no other way in which it could have been caused. The fire was discovered by an employe of the Great Western raflroad working near and he tried in valn to reach the fire department by telephone and could not do eo. He was finally compelled to go to a fire statlon several blocks away to turn in the alarm, and by this time the flames had gained such headway that the warehouse could not be saved. It was filled with coal, ce- ment and similar goods and the loss was about $10,000. New Line to Minneapolis. The organizers of the Des Molnes & Northern lowa Raflroad company, which has been trying in vain to secure entrance into Des Moines through the finest park of the city, have issued a statement de- claring their intentions, and for the first time making known something definite of their plans. The promoters say that they intend to build from Des Moines to Min- neapolis, 265 miles, and to construct a good roadbed of their own all the way; that they have no intention of selling out to some other company, but will operate the road as an independent line, and that they have just completed all the prelim- inarfes for financing the road, so that it can be bullt at once. The park commis- sloners have refused to &rant.the company a right-of-way through the park, insisting that this should mot be dome until there is some definite knowledge of what Is planned by the company. Btrong pressure is being brought to bear on the commis- sloners to allow the road to go through the park, as that is the only avallable way of getting Into the city from that direction. It is claimed that the com- pany has secured some right-of-way and privileges along the line morth of Des Moines. Planning for Democratic Paper. Ex-Congressman Walt Butler of this city, engaged In the insurance business for sev- eral years, and Henry Relgleman, for- merly of the Relgleman Millinery company, are planning to raise the funds with which to start a democratic paper in Des Moines and probably to make of it a morning pa- per. They expect to sell stock in the pro- posed company to influential free silver democrats all over the state and thus to secure & fund of $50,000 to $75,000 with which to start the paper. It is planned that Butler is to be editor of the paper. The socialists of the state are preparing for an active campalgn and W. A. Jacobs of Davenport, secretary of their state or- ganization, is soon to start out on a speak- ing tour to cover the entire state, organiz- ing socialist clubs and preparing for the state convention in September in Daven- port. He expects to speak in all the lead- ing cities of the state. Mail Carrler Goes Wron, The postofice officlals have caused the arrest of Henry Ennen at Wellsburg, Grundy county, on a charge of embezzle- ment while acting as a rufal malil carrier. He 1s accused of having recelved a sum of money on & money order and falling to turn it over to the postmaster. He is sald to bave been found short about $76. Thres men robbed a second-hand store here late Saturday night, taking a revolver, a watch and a $10 bill. They held up the clerk when he was alone in the store. The residence of Mrs. Beda Egan was robbed last night and about $500 worth of silverware and valuables taken. There is no clue to the robber: Valuable Time Saved.

ATTENDANCE GROWS BETTER Interest at the Epworth Assembly in Hurom Increasing. Progress at 1 8. D., July 6.—(Special.)—At- tendance and interest at the Epworth embly cantinues to incre Following the immense crowd that heard General Howard's great speech on the Fourth, came a lecture by Dr. Homer C. Stuntz, super- intendent of Methodist missions in the Philippines. It was a scholarly presenta- tion of conditions there, and in marked contrast of what was presented by Colonel Bryan the day previous. Dr. Stuntz speaks from personal knowledge and observation and gives much valuable informatlon con- cerning the people, their government and education. The address was one of the most eloquent and interesting of the series 80 far civen. The patriotic concert in the afternson pre- ceding General Howard's address was one of the best of the musical features of the program; the singing of patriotic son; by a large chorus, with the aid of the 1,500 people in the bigstent, was some- thing long to be remembered. It was espe- clally enjoyed by General Howard and the 200 old soldlers that came from every direction to ses and hear him. Saturday's program was no less interesting than those of previous days, while the attendance was fully up to expectation. There was biblg echool, departmental congress, senlor and junior Epworth session, chorus drills and ccncerts; address by Rev. G. T. Not- son, followed with an entertainment by the Wagner Lady quartet of Chleago, the days exercises closing with a lecture by Dr. R. N. McKraig, on “Scenes in my Prison and Fugitive Life.” OFFICERS RELEASE GILLEN Man Charged with Wantonly Killing Horses Allowed to Retarn to Towa Home. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D.

Mrs, Lieder was marrled June 25 by proxy at Curacao. She is a member of one of the most important families of that little Dutch island, and although it seems proxy weddings are not rare there, nearly everyone of any, consequence on the fsland witnessed the ceremony. Mr. Lieder, who is in business in New York, 1s a native of Curacao, whero he and Miss Aranjo became engaged. A short time ago he wroto her that he was ready to make her his wife and asked her to come north to meet him, but she was unwilling to make the voyage alone, and besides, she wished to be married after the custom of her island. So a proxy ceremony was agreed upon. Mr. Luls O. Negron stood in the place of the absent groom aad the knot was tied securely, although the groom was 2,000 miles away. Mr. Negron, who is the bride's brother-in-law, accompanied Mrs. Lieder to New York. He is unmar- ried, but has represunted five grooms at as many proxy weddings, so the inter ing ceremony was no novelty to him. After the clvil ceremony the church rites were solemnized.
