last Saturday evening, they backing of
of Macarthur, Smith q Co.'s dock into
the river and drowning. The City of
Cleveland had just arrived at the dock
and the horses and hack were carried
under her bow before anything could
be done to rescue the team. A line,
however, was fastened to the coach to
prevent 1t from floating away with the
curret. Some time after midnight the
horses came to the surface, the har-
nssses were removed and the carcasses
allowed to float out into the lake. Sun
day the hack was towed up to the low
dock at Backer & Sons, and there taken
out. 1t was not so badly damaged as
was anticipated. Mr.. SammOns says
the horses weighed 1900 or 1,400 pounds
each, and was the best team he had.
