Bery Petes'. Mrs. Petes, who was sit ting in the latter buggy, was thrown out and caught by Conductor Frank Hermance, who was passing. She escaped injury. At Church street the manly voice of Officer Beegan was heard above the din and confusion, shouting warning to two young men, who heard him and leaped aside and thereby probably es- capped being killed or badly hurt. At Snow's corner the horses took to the walk and in so doing the big wagon upset and this ended the mad career of the horses. Other carriages struck by the team were those of c. S. Leete, R. N. Searles, William H. Wheeler and two others.
