| the water upon the backs of the horses attached
to the vehicle. The horses instantly took fright,
and though the driver gave chase and made great
exertion to catch and curb them, he was unsuc-
cessful, and during his efforts was violently
thrown from the rear platform of the tank to the
ground. The horses rushed onward at frightfu
speed, the little boys high in the air on the top of
the tank clingng for dear life to the frail valve
lever under them and to each other. Upon arriving
where Green street ends, the frantic horses and
huge car with its precious freight went rushing
down Rines hill, over the railroad track, past the
Journal office, Granite block and Market square,
the little boys herocally clinging with all their
power to the small hold afforded them ON the top
of the tank ten feet in air. Water street was
well filed with vehicles which rendered the stu
alton of the boys more frightful than before, as
collision and overturn wa. imminent, and mo-
mentarily expected by the of horror stricken
witnesses on the street. As the runaways reached
point nearly opposite Parrot G. Chass's store,
hey turned a trihe to the right, and the tank
iurching backward little, got detached from the
front axle and wheels, and stopped abruptly in its
rapid flight. instantly throwing both boys from
their perilous perch to the ground. Their fall
was witnessed by large number Of spectators,
who rushed to the spot, expecting to find them
Iifeless. But if by miracle their lives were
spared, and they escaped even serious injuries.
Jamie Blaine was taken into Parrot & Chases,
and soon pronounced by DR.. Thompson to be call
right" only few slight bruises and scratches
having been received; the little fellow was greatly
provoked because his hat had left him during his
ride. Tommy Buckley was carried into John
sons drug store, where he was examined by DR..
Lapham who found his right temple considerably
bruised, but not seriously. His escape from in
slant death was very narrow, he fell so near the
moving tank that many for the instant supposed
he was crushed by it. He and his companion
will long remember their perilous ride, and the
whole community feel with their parents and
friends deep thankfulness at ts comparatively
harmless issue. The horses ran with the front
wheel, to Wymans factory, on Bond brook, where
they were stopped, unframed.
