A Cool Coachman-Perils OF Travelling
ON the Southern Boulevard.

on the SOutMerm bOUleEoT0s
singular case of criminal brutality, which may
result in loss Of life to light in Morrisana,
westchester county, yesterday, on the arrest OF a
coachman named Carl LOmberg, who is in the en-
ploy of a clergyman residing at Westchester vii
lage. 1t seems that on the 18th instant the ac-
cused was driving along the Southern Boulevard
when he, as is alleged deliberately drove into and
overturned a phaeton containing two ladies,
named respectively Mrs. Wallace and Miss
Bullock, the former sustaining fracture
OF the collar BONE broken arm and otherdnjures
from the effects OF which she mas since lain in a
critical condition. AS the prisoner lost no time in
getting away from the scene OF collision, his iden-
tity and arrest we're matters which have since al
most puzzled the police authorities, but Captain
Robbins Mt length succeeded In ferreting out his
man, who was secured as above stated by Rounds
man Reilly and 0nicer Hogan, OF the M0rrisania po-
lice force. Lomberg does not deny the charge, but
SAYS in extenuation OF his offence that the ladies
were driving on his side Of the boulevard. He was
held for examination.
