SERIOUS ACCIDENT Yesterday morning
about eleven O clock as Mr.. Pillsbury of Scar
borough was driving on Preble street, the Whit
fietree of his wagon broke, frightening his horse
who started at dead run down the street. Mr.
Pillsbury was thrown out and severely bruised
about the head and hands. This was however,
but MINOR part of the serious con s..
A young boy, nine years of age, son of the late
policeman Parsons who met with such sad
death on the train near Brunswick last spring,
was crossing the street as the horse came dash
ing down. The horse and a shaft of the wagon
struck him in the back, telling him to the pave
ment, fracturing his skull and inflieting many
bruises about the face. The boy was picked up
| and carried to Gikey's apothecary store, where
the serious extent of his injuries was ascertain
ed. He was then put upon lounge and car
red home by four policemen. The blow falls
heavily upon the lately widowed mother. whose
| favorite son the boy is said to have been. The
sympathy of all our people will surely be ex-
tended to her in her great affection.
The boy is under charge of DR.. Weeks. Last
evening he was in a comatose state, though it
is thought that he has an even chance Cor re-

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, hat notified
two men who arranged to drive two horses
from here to Bridgton to-day ON wager of
$500, the distance to be accomplished in less
than four hours, that he should take measures
to prevent this exhibition of cruelty to horses

horses on the matter being shown to them in
its proper bearings, very generously and hui
namely consented to withdraw the stakes and
declare the race off. Mr.. Libby has managed
the affair with great tact, and much credit is
due him for the prompt and decided course
which he took in the matter.

A SWIM FOR LlBERTY.-Not long since two
boys escaped from the Reform School. With
in few days officer York ascertained that the
boys were in Lewiston, and Monday he took
the train for that city. As he was walking up
from the depot he saw one of the two he was in
search of but few rods ahead of him on the
street. Quickening his pace the officer was
fast lessening the distance. when man who
was passing exclaimed, "There is officer York
of the Portland police!" The boy heard the
exclamation and started on run with the Off
Ger close behind him. He darted into side
street and down to the river. Without hesitat-
ing moment he jumped into the water and
swan across, leaving the foiled officer standing
on the bank and ''gazing idly at the spray"
Baffied in this attempt Mr.. York turned his
attention to the capture Of the. other. Getting
upon trace of him, he, accompanied by the
Lewiston police, proceeded to honse out of
town where he felt assured he should find the
boy. Arrived at the house he found flor it was
now night all the family in bed. Search was
instituted but the wanted one could not be
found After hunting the house the officers
turned their attention to bed where the mis-
tress of the family and three children were
fegning placid slumber. They thought she lay
suspiciously close 20 the wall. Routing her out
they found the boy they were in search of con-
cealed under the mattress. Yesterday morning
Mr.. York brought the boy, whose name is Mich
ael Cook, to this city. 1r
