they were to take part in a concert, when
the horse ran away with the carriage which
they were in, upset the vehicle, breaking
one of Mr.. Maxwelrs legs in two places,
and slightly injuring Mr.. Barry. The
frightened horse had its leg br ken in
the scrape, and was injured 50 badly that

at Rowlandsville where they arrived in the
evening train. We did not learn whether
Mr.. Cummings was injured.
