Quite an exciting runaway oc-
cured In the city yesterday afternoon
-Four horses attached to wagon, on
Elm street became frightened and ran
up Elm street towards the river. On
arriving at Houston street they turned
to the left and ran rapidly down Hous-
ton, on arriving at Commerce street
they turned the corner sharp and
started in II full run towards the bridge.
AS they neared II the crowd which
had followed them were Mortified to see
a wagon containing several women
just crossing the bridge. Realizing
their danger they drove close to
the side of the bridge and jump
ing out, took refuge in the rear o.
the wagon. In moment the four
horses, seemingly mad with excite
ment, were upon the bridge, and the
spectators expected to see fearful col
lision, but miraculous to relate, al
though there was scarcely room for
the two wagons to pass, the runaway
team flew harmlessly by doing no
damage to itself or to the wagon Oh
the bridge. On reaching the turnpike
across the river, they still kept up
their mad race, and in few moments
were entirely out of sight. That they
did not injure themselves or break the
wagon was marvel. Elm street at the
time was crowded with wagons and
pedestrians, but fortunately no one
was injured.
