About six o'clock last evening, as Mr.. James
Keegan was driving up Water street, with valu-
able horse attached to a skeleton wagon, when
within about sixty feet OF the railroad bridge that
crosses the street. steam suddenly let off from
the engine of the train that was standing near the
bridge. This was the only signal that the train
was near, and it frightened Keegan's horse. The
animal reared and backed and cramped up the
wheels, throwing Keegan out between the wheels.
The horse then started on the run, dragging kee-
gan on his stomach some eighty feet, who still
chung to the rens. Both shafts and white tree
broke, the horse kicked himself free, and the
reins were drawn though Keegans hands, badly
decorating them. His shoulder was famed and he
was otherwise quite badly injured. The horse
continued on and run into the stable connected
with Farmers Hotel, finally falling upon the
floor. His legs were cut by piece OF one of the
broken shafts. We are informed that the liability
of such accidents often exists in that locality, by
the engine letting off steam without any notice
whatever. Can't some other place be selected for
such performance
