Somstime during Friday night or

laced shoes. Besides these they also ap-
propriated quantity of ladies and gents
custom made work. Besides these a
quantity of goods we're taken from var
ious parts of the room including over 100
pairs of gents Congress CATERS. The
thieves carried the goods do wn stairs and
out the back way, where they had a car

A Thrilling and Fatal Acct.
dent

Brief m sntion was made Friday of The
death of John Strickland, in New York,
who was thrown from a six horse wagon
belonging to Barnum's circus, and was
killed on the stones Of the street. The
story of the accident is a thrilling-.one
The Express says: "In passing under
the elevated railroad his horses took
fright at the passing traiu ami dashed
wild down the street The horses were
a asplendid team, ooal-black, well match
ed, andin high condition. As the fright
ened ann AIS dashed along many persons
spoke OF the courage and nerve of the
driver, who, although he could not con-
trOl his steeds, did his best to guide them.
at was an exciting scene. All who
witnessed il expected that even If Sixth,
Fifth and Madison avenues were crossed
without collision with one of the horse
cars or omnibuses, surely an accident
would occur as soon as the wagon reach
ed, the eastern side of Fourth avenue,
wheie, at the terminus of three horse
railway lines, the cars folm an almost
permanent barricade of Forty-seeond
street.
"But the team crossed eixth and Fifth
avenues. without me- ting any obstruc-
lions, and flew past the Grand Central
depot without accident. 1t was then ex-
pected that Strickland, who clung to his
dangerous post with wonderful tenacity.
would be able to check the mad career of
his team before any harm had been done.
w lille passing over the network of rail
road tracks IN Forty-second street, be-
tween Fourth and Lexington avenues,
the off wheels OF the wagon were caught
in switch, the axles snapped off short,
and both the fore and rear wheels went
spinning along to the gutter. Strickland
was thrown from his seat headlong to
the pavement and INSTANTLY ,kiIlad Tha
horses, dragging the wrecked wagon had
proceeded only short distance father
when the forePat of the wagon became
wedged between large telegraph pole
and an ornamental lamp post on the
southeast corner of Lexington avenue
aud Foity-second street, and the panic
Atricken horses were brought to halt.

STUFFED MULES AND STEA NJ
DUMMIES.

From the st. Louis Globe Demo ocrat.
For year past the city of Milwaukee
has been in a state of turmoil caused by
the introduction of steam motors on the
street railway lines. Now peace reipns
supreme. An inventive genius of that
town lately conceived the happy idea of
placing stuffed mule in front of each
.dummy." The experiment was bril-
liant success. This straw mule moves
along sedately in front of the motor, and
the prancing steeds of the Cream City
are no longer tempted to take fright and
run away as it puffs along.
