GENERAL MILES THROWN. Saddle Girth Parted and He Fell From His Horse. Washington, December 12.—Lieutenant General Miles had an accident while head ing the centennial parade today, a break in his saddle girth giving the general a fall. The head of the parade had just passed the President’s reviewing stand and General Miles having saluted the Presi dent, had turned his horse toward the House wing of the capitol. The saddle girth suddenly parted, permitting the saddle to turn on the animal and General Miles was seen to fall sideways. The horse did not plunge and an officer sprang forward. Be ing a good horseman, General Miles saved himself from being thrown down with force, and suffered nothing save the incon venience and annoyance of the accident. Soon afterward he was seen with the other distinguished members in the Congressional hall. IDEAL Fountain Pen, Waterman’s; a suitable present to anybody. Dewberry’s Book Store. PERSECUTED BY WOMAN.
