A Runaway Accident.

An Eight Year Old Girl Fatally Injured
 Yesterday afternoon about o'clock, horse attached to carriage belonging to George H. Larkin, of West Haven, became frightened while hitched near the corner of George and Church streets, from the dumping of load of coal in the vicinity. In running he took to the sidewalk and barely escaped colliding with the carriage of A. F. Wood which stood near. The frightened beast dashed up Congress avenue, and near the store of D. M. Welch < Son again took to the sidewalk, colliding in the meantime with the wagon of A. D. Bailey and damaging it slightly. After taking the walk near Welch's store the horse ran upon little girl named Katy Shields, the eight year old daughter of David Shields who resides in Burwel's block on Congress avenue. She was knocked down and it is feared received fatal injuries. A bad cut was inflicted just back of the right ear, one under the chin, and severe confusion at the pit of the stomach. She was removed to her home and Drs. Bissell and Mailhouse were summoned to attend her. During last evening she was unconscious at times and it was feared she had received inter- nal injuries which might prove fatal. Mir. Shields has been extremely unfortunate of late. He has buried his wife, had ten year old son severely burned, and been laid up many weeks himself this winter from 8 car buncIe upon one Of his hands, and now the accident of yesterday is another afRiction upon him, all of which has occurred within re- markably short space of time. MT. Shields is a call member of the fire department.
