Two Frantic Horses Dash Downhill Through Crowds of Little Children. here was an exciting runaway yester- atternoon on Pacific street which re- suited in the wrecking of alarge -delivery | wagon and the breaking of Frank Spear- man’s left leg, near the ankle. Early vesterday morning the driver of Riley’s milk wagon while passing along Broaa- way, between Stockton and Potwell met with the loss of one of his wagon wheels. He went to a stable near by and hired a wagon in order to complete the delivery of milk to his customers. Yesterday afternoon Riley, whose ranch isonthe San Brano road, sent the wagon hack in charge of James Hogan and Frank Spearman. They hitched up a young un- broken: horse 1n order to give it some ex- The driver went over Van Ness avenue to Pacific, and along that thor- oughfare until be reached the top of the hill. When he started down the hill to- ward Mason streer. the young horse be- came fractious and showed a disposition to runfaway. His actions caused two other young men who had mounted the wagon to ium)\ to the ground. The team was going at a rapid rate down the steep hili when one of the lines broke and IPngnn lost control of the animals. - In a second both were off like a shot dashing down the hill. As- they neared Scott place, a narrow street be- tween Pacific and Broadway, Hogan pulled on the one line and the horses turned sud- denly to the left and dashed into- the nar- row thoroughfare. The wagon made the | turn on two wheels and Hogan and Spear- man were hurled to the gronnd. Hogan escaped with a few bruises, but Spearman went under the wheels and his leg was broken. s In less than a half minute the team had passed through Scott place ‘and ran upon | the sidewalk on the norch side of Broad- way. After breaking several fences and | blocks in the artificial stone sidewalk the horses piled -the wagon up om its side against an electric pole standing on the edgze of the sidewalk. The wagon was badly wrecked, and as an odd’ incidént, it was wrecked in front of the owner’s door. The horses broke avart and ranfor many blocks before they were caught. 3 Spearman was sent to the Receiving Hospital by Officer Kaskell. At the time of the runaway several hundred children were playing on Pacific street, Scott place and Broadway, and it was almost a mir- acle that none were killed or crivpled by the horses or wagon. CRUSH AT THE CENTUAY. The Features Were Music, Salad, Talk and Egg- nog. SUCCESS OF THE FUNCTION. Five Hundred Invitations Were Given by the Ladies of the Insti- tution. The ladies of the exclusive and in- teilectual Century Club did put on a few extra touches to enhance the grace and beauty of their presence on the occasion of the “‘open “house” yesterday afternoon. ‘Bhis is true of some of the members of the board of directors as well as many who do not hold official position in the club. This signifies that devotees of art and literature, the exponents of the higher civilization of refinement, the disciples of culture among women, will select a color, adjust a rivbbon or brush the hair in a style to please and captivate. 1f they do this on New Year's day they will probabty o the same thing all the year round. Five hundred invitations were issued for the reception yesterday, and the result was a crush. - Mrs. John F. Swift, the president of the Century, 'stood bravely at her post, where she received her guests with grace and- dignity. In a similar position Mr. Coe, president of the Press Club, could not have achieved greater distinction for pres- ence of mind and ‘tact, and as for Horace Platt, president of the Bohemian Club, he is simply not in’ Mrs. Swift’s class. ‘While the attendance at the Century was large the provortion of women to men avas five' to one.

The genial doctor as dismayed by the crush,and failed to reach the eggnog stand. Dr. Middleton of the United States army | discovered by reconnoisance ‘early in the afternoor that a hallway led directly to the ezgnog alcove, and could be traversed {rom the outer ‘door without passing through the main crush. He imparted the intelligence . to A. 8. Hallidie, and the smile of the century lighted the counten- ance of ‘the latter. Mrs. Swift will now understand . why she saw several gentle- men passing her reviewing station going out who were. not seen when tliey came . They simply handed their cards to the door attendant, passed down the hall- way to the egzgnog, and then returned | turough the main parlor to the president’s | position. { Jobn Perry .Jr. got in the crush at the foot of the stairway leading to the salad | and seemed to:enjoy the pressure. | When B. P. Fli arrived the crush was | greatest. . His holiday smile, which was icely adjusted when he came in, gave y_ to an expression of alarm. When | confidence was restored he saluted the president, winked at the pianist and sam- pled the refreshments. H. B.

He wore the most radiant of smiles and bas not been happier since: his resignation from the Board of Supervisors was ac- cepted. Artist Peixotto wore his hair without ornament. The pose of the young man that served the eggnog arrested the ar- tistic attention of Mr. Peixotto. When Colonel W. R. Parnell entered he hesitated whether to advance or retreat, | but seeing that a comrade of George H. Thomas Post had an eye on him, he ad- vanced with a firm step. The crush di- verted him ;irom the eggnog to the salad. Refurning from up stairs, he seemed as| Lappy as a veteran with an increased pen- | | sion. Dr. George H. Powers, who sings ‘‘Life fgr Evermore” in the chorus of “Nazareth” with a vigor that animates, seemed to be | in great favor at the Century. He was | sighing for salad at 5. . Uncle George T. Bromley was escorted by Albert Gerberding. It was the duty of the escort to keep the crowd of ladies in | check when Mr. Bromley arrived. It is the custom of Uncle George to terminate a | function at 6 A.M.; therefore when the ladies proposed to dismiss the musicians | and close the refreshment-rooms at 6 p. M. his smile of gratification relaxed into a | look of sarprise. | Thomas Magee of real estate renown was one of the callers vesterday. Dr. Georg W. Merritt, Alex Morrison, John Bonner | and quite a:company of younger gentle- | | men attended the function. Some of the youngsters were with marama, and all be- haved with exceeding propriety. The recention was indeed a great suc- cess.. “The display of posters, the artistic sketches, the decorations and the music delighted the visitors, The directors of the Century are: Mrs. | B. Cornwall, Mrs. Frances Edgerton, Mrs. Ramon. Wilson, Miss Agnes Lowry, Mrs. Ed C. Wright, Mrs. Bunnell, Miss Agnes Manning, Mrs. Whittell, Mrs. Elisha Ransome, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, Mrs. Austin Spezry,-Mrs. Sidney Cushing and Mrs. Robert McKenzie. *“The reception committee, which deserves so-much credit for the success of the New Year function, consisted of: Mrs. Henry Gibbons, Miss Ella Adams, Miss Virg Tliten, Mrs. Ramon Wilson, the Misses Bea- ver, Miss Agnes Lowry, Miss Isabel Lowry, Mrs. Joseph Marks, Mrs. Isidore Burns, Mrs. Ed C. Wright, Mrs. A, Gerberding, Miss Eleanor Briggs, Miss Partridge and Mrs. Barton. Among the recent gifts to the clubis a fruit piece in oil painted by Mrs. Helen A. Fitch, & member of the Century. THE FERRY BUILDING. Contractor Gorrill’s Arguments in Favor of the Use of Granite in Its Construction. R. W. Gorrill, fhe contractor interested in ‘the new ferry depot, was asked last night about the substitution of granite for Oregon stone on the State building to be erected at the foot of Market street. B “I ought not to speak about the matter,’”” said Mr. Gorrill, “but I cannot help hear- ing what people.say. Ihave heard over a hundred leading business men. of San Francisco discuss the matter and I have vet to hear of ‘one who does not consider that granite would be much better than Oregon or any other stone. : 3 : “For my own part, I think there is no comparison.

There cannot possibly be two opinions about " its :durability, whereas there:seems to be a dozen-about: the proposed Oregon stone. “‘A massive granite pile at the foot of Market street would be. something far grander than people who have not seefr such stately edifices can imagine, If it should cost $100,000 more" it would. ‘be, in. | my opinion, money well: spent, - So long as the appropriation has been made let us haye a first-ciass piece of work. . . : I think that California granite—which, as everybody knows, is-the bést in the world—could be substituted for' Oregon graystone and the price stilt be lower than any bid except ours; As the ‘coniract is let at present granite would cost more, but nothing to speak of in compatison with the improvement in the building: I do not even know if it-would be possible now 1o make the change with the: .contract being let, but I presume -that the varties to any contract can legally make any changes mutually agreeable, " | ‘“‘There is nothing in the world that can be made to look as handsome as California granite, and no matter what stone can be used, it cannot produce the same effect. This is not my opinion alone; but is that | of everybody with whom I converse.” | (OLLEGES Y ACLUSTER, Requirements for the Fine New | Buildings Soon to Be Constructed. Schools of -Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Veterinary Sur. gery in Prospect. Much interest is rife in scholastic circles regarding the proposed new buildings for the affiliated colleges of the 'State Uni- versity soon to be erected on the Sutro site. The Board of Regents has sent out a circular contatning a Jist of requirements from- which architects desfring to submit planswili be able to learn, in a general way; what iy wanted.

Mrs. Bowman says a very important | treaty has just been consummated with the | Navajo nation; whereby the rich ‘mines of the Coriso Mountains may be worked. | For many years daring white. men have endeavored to work the gold ledges of | these mountains.. The ledges were known | to be extremrely rich. The yellow metal | brought out from the mines at different | times by the Navajos showed this, The Indians, however, have always re- fused the white nien access to the mines. | They were Killed by the way or in the | i f they happened by chance to get that far.” Many and many s murder has | been committed because of thesa mines. = | “There have been so many loszes of life becausé of the “insisténce. of.daring white men to get into the Coriso Mauntains,” said Mrs. Bowman, “that just how many passes and abruptly shot down by the Indians. “During all the years that I-have lived among the Navajos, and back to ‘the earli- est times, the tribes have held possession of these ledges and guarded them with the greatest striciness from all intruders. ‘‘Repeated ‘efforts have been made from time to time to gain access to them, but till now every effort has failed. Major Con- stant Williams, the agent of the Navajos, has, however, finally gained their consent for the white mniiners to go in. It isa sig- nal triumph, and could not have been ac- complished but for Agent Williams’ long experience with the Indians and the confi- dence they placein him. “Just before 1 left for Ban Francisco twelve or fifteen of the head men of the nation, includitig Chiefs Black Horse, Chee d@nd Manuelito,-met United States Agent Williams at Fort Defiance and. made un agreément with him in writing permitting the whites to ga in. “They stipulated that the agreement should be good for one year, and that the | miners should work a rich portion of the Corisos one mile square. - As soen as the snow is off, therefore, there will be a rush there. “The gold is found in ledges. There is believed to be an enormous amount of it, judging by the lumps and bars brought out from time to time by the Navajos and | exchanged for tobacco, ammunition, sugar Her health isnot very gaod and she has:| ther things. “The Coriso ledges are 170 miles north- west of Fort Defiance. The agreement, being solemnly made, as it was, is a matter of great consequence, as for the first time, strange as it may appear, after all the murders, men may now safely go to these fabulous mines, which through so many geierations have been so carefully guarded from the world. - It is the most important concession, probably, that has ever oc- curred in the Southwest. “As for the Navajo Indians, they are progressing steadily. There are about 27,000. Indians composing the Navajo na- tioh. -Of these between 6000 and 7000 are of school age, ranking betwéen 4 and 18 years. “The ehildren learn rapidly and study everything taught in the ordinary com- mon schoois. We have kindergartens, and teach the very small children in the same way as children are taught in the cities. “The older children learn to sew and cook, play the organ and do everything that- white children do anywhere. They are; very bright and are making rapid progress. “There are many rich men among the Navajos. They own vast bands of cattle, sheepand horses. Their women spin and weave and altogether the nation is very prosperous. They farm a good deal by aid of irrigation, and are as a whole the most industrious and independent of any In- dians on the contineni. “Their conce n in allowing white men to penetrate the Coriso Mountains, despite | the injunctions of their fathers, 1s a matter of wonder. Nobady has ever been‘able in all the.past years to persuade thém to per- mit this.” Mrs: Bowman will probably remain here a couvle of weeks before returning to the Navajo nation.”: The lady showed the strange souvenirs of the Southwest to many visitors last night, who had called to pay their respects. They heard her story of the Navajos and the. opening of the Coriso mines with the greatest interest. OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS.
