of an infuriated COW, which had escaped from the
stables Of Mr.. Wheeler, Hanover near Conway
street. 1t seems that the COW had been brought TO
the city on the steamer Kent, and driven to
the stable where she was tied 1t is supposed
that the strange sights about the animal fright
ened her, when she broke away and ran believing
down Conway street to Charles and along that
street to Camden, where she was again secured. At
this point very large crowd had congregated on
the streets and on the old Spring lot, many women
and children being of the number, who were ele-
waited on the gravel heaps The COW was tied bv
the hind legs and halter was made of rope and
placed over her horns.
Three big darkies then undertook to drive the
beast back to the stable, but as soon as the animal
showed any signs OF Obstinacy they let go the ropes
and the mad thing dashed furiously across the
street. scattering the crowd in all directions, rushed
furousy towards the crowd on the gravel heaps,
who ran in confusion, uttering loud screams, and
then turned again towards Charles street. Every
one had by this time given the beast wide berth,
except a little German boy about four wears old
who was playing on the bank unconscious of dan
ger. At him the COW rushed, head dOwnwards
caught him on her horns and pitched him some six
feet in front of her, and would have tramped him
to death If 1t had not been that some persons at
tracted her attention on Charles street The wit
nesses of this seemed horror stricken and i'm
mediately rush was made for the boy, who when
picked up, was found only to have been bruised on
the side and shoulders, no bones being broken
The enraged animal continued her course along
Charles street, the people scamperinr in all drec-
tions, and turned into Pratt street When near the
Maltby House. some persons attempted to stop her
progress, when she took to the pavement. 1t being
about supper time at the hotel, the boarders were
quietly seated about the doors taking it coolly, but
the cry OF "mad COW" quickly caused some excel
lent Zouave movements, the pavement being de-
serted in moment. At this juncture James Nc
Namara, driver of the Maltby House omnibus,
ran towards his horses for the purpose of protect
ing them, when James was compelled to turn
somersault, hardly knowing what struck him.
The COW rushed on down Pratt, past Light street,
and when nearly to Cheapsde was again brought
to bay by some negroes the wharf who caught
hold of the ropes which were still dangling to her
legs, This halt was only momentary, for the beast
Immediately turned upon her captors in the rear
one of whom, strong fellow-she caught between
her horns and tossed into the gutter turning him
over two three times before he lodged upon his
back. While in that position the COW again rushed
at him and was about to gore him, when some ne
groes fearlessy rushed to his rescue, and by some
means threw the animal to the ground. The man
picked himself up, said he was not hurt, and made
tracks,
Ropes were then procured and placed around the
horns. horse and cart brought, and seve-
raj men jumping in, they made fast the ropes and
the COW was dragged far as Light street. Here
the horn ropes broke, and the animal was
was again Tree with the exception of the ropes on
her hind legs; the men holding these worked very
cautiously, and succeeded in making them fast to
lamp, giving the COW about 20 feet range At this
time Fratt street was packed with people, all anxi
a sudden turn into Light street, scattering people
pell nell, and causing the greatest consternation
The ropes, however, stopped her progress for
the time, when suddenly an active Young
negro coming behind her, caught her by both
horns and giving her head peculiar bend, brought
her again to the ground. This time she was Sc
cured and dragged away. During these scenes
there was much excitement among the crowd, and
cries OF "shoot her," "shoot her." were heard all
about, but no one seemed anxious to take the re-
sponsibility. There were two or three police Off.
GERS present, but they merely stood by and gave
orders. The negro man mentioned above as being
Knocked down was named Thomas Emory, hand
on the steamer Kent. He was only slightly
scratched and bruised about the breast.
