Another RUNAWAY,

About IL o'clock A. NJ. yesterday a bay
horse came tearing up East Third street with
one thill of 3 cutter hanging by the hold
back strap on one side. He was running
with all the speed of which he was capable
and created quite a CONSERVATION among the
teamsters and occupants of light rigs along
the street, as we'll as considerable excitement
on the sidewalks. Considering the thronged
condition of the street at the time-it was
almost jammed with vehicles of various de.
scriptions-it was miracle that he did not
collide with one or mora of them.
He succeeded however in steering
himself safely through the labyrinth, and
turning up Wabashaw without doing dam.
age to anything except what was done to the
cutter, which was left on pile of rubbish,
bricks and building material which blockad-
ed one side of the roadway and the entire
sidewalk for some distance between Jackson
and Sibley streets, on the riverward side of
Third. About the only damage sustained by
the cutter was the smashing of the shafts.
The rig belongs to Mr.. L. Rheaume, of the
firm of Rheaume & st. Peter, contractors
and builders. Mr.. r. had been down to the
Wacouta street depot, and was in the act of
getting into the vehicle, when the horse sud
denly whiried around, upsetting if, and break
ing away from his driver with the result
above described. The animal was afterwards
caught and returned to his stable, at Bsr-
keys livery, Seven Corners.
