LONG BRANCH, August 8, 1878.
1t Is always an unthankful task to spoil good
story but am constrained to say that the general
press report published yesterday, OF the of
young lady by President Grant from injury by
runaway horse is romance. 1t has
this much foundation, that If horse
had run away with lady, young or old,
and II President Grant, who is at home in the
management of horse had been In situation to
rescue her. he would no doubt have done so.
There was, however, an accident on Cedar avenue
to lady and genteman-Mr. and Mrs. Tyson.
They were driving in light phaeton, when q care
lessly driven hack passed and struck the wheel.
The horse in the phaeton, spirited animal, took
fright and became unmanageable and ran the
phaeton against cedar post breaking 1t and
York, was first on the spot, and ascer.
the Vehicle Soon arterwaTds the Presidents high
phaeton drove up. The President stopped, removed
his cigar from his lips and spoke. ANY person
hurtYr were the words he uttered. mo one" wac
the reply. Fortunate said the President la
conicaiy, as he viewed he shattered remnants, and
taking vigorous pull at his cigar to recover the
IRE he drove on This is The whole story OF the
runaway and the gallant rescue.
The President and his party go 10 Augusta on
Monday Their doings and travelllngs in Maine
depend upon the programme adopted by the man
ayers In that state. They expect to be absent
eight or ten days. MIR. Dent is much better to-day.
There was grand hop at the West End TO.
night, during which q GERMAN" was danced or
which Judge Brady was the central attraction, and
presentation Of flowers TO the dancers took
place at the Ocean Hotel. handsome new dag
and streamer, presented by prominent guests OF
the hotel, were hoisted with appropriate ceremo-
MES. The grand concert and ball tomorrow at
the ocean bids fair to be great success.
The excitement over the reported dumping or
vial and carcasses of the Long Branch shore by the
New York contractors has been great among the
Long Branch oficials but 1t Is generally believed
the appearance OF dead horses or cows day or two
ago. on the beach, was in consequence OF the drec-
ton OF the wind, which brought those unwelcome
visitors from the bay. Ii is not thought that the
New York contractors or officials would trouble
themselves to go outside the bay to dump their I'M
savOry loads. Besides, with the exception OF
single day, no such Objectionable sights have been
seen. There Will tomorrow be an investigation OF
the matter
The West End and Ocean hotels were changed
for while tonight into an amateur stock ex-
change and took somewhat the appearance OF
Broad street on a corner The excitement arose
from the receipt Of kilograms by several members OF
the Stock Exchange, now VISITORS at Long Branch,
conveying the rumor that prominent banking
house are short OF gold TO meet sales, The bal
comics were Tor a while filled with groups talking
business instead OF pleasure, and more bent upon
discussing the subject of gold than or witnessing
the dancing at the hops
