New YORK, Nov. 29.-An slectric light
| pole IN Fifth avenne. between Thirty
third and Thirty -fonrth streets, was
| broken of short on Monday night by a
hack with which horse was running
away. The hack belonged TO Thomas
Seabrook, of i7o Seventh avenue, who
was attempting TO drive vicious horse
without a curb. Seabrook vas thrown
from his hack and seriously bruised.
and Policeman Michael Cuff. who
stopped and afterwards attempted
10 drive the horse. was thrown off the
hack, and so badly hurt that he WAS re
leased from duty. The electric light
wires were severed. and fell into the
street. Immediately after the wires
had fallen into the street a horse from
Oserln a. Hastings st ,ble at li2 West
fnirty-ninth street stepped upon the
broken wires, and received a violent
shock. A horse ambulance WAS sent
for, but the injured animal aft-rward
recovered sufficiently t. be taken to the
stable. An officer at Mr.. Bergh's office
said last night:
We had no occasion To use the am
buiance. The horse seemed TO have be-
come entangled II the wires after fall

veterinary surgeon, has been with it for
several hours since 1t was injured. Its
symptoms are peculiar. 1t was just able
walk, but appeared dull and iifeless,
and Was covered with perspiration and
very much heated. The driver. James
Conroy, was 80 badly hurt that he is un-

w. Aborn of the Brush Electric Light
Company said last evening. The only
person or animal ever killed by our
wires was an employee two years ago,
who, while repairing the wires on pole,
removed the insulating surface from the
ends OF two wires which he WAS about
to connect. He touched both the barred
ends and received a shock through the
body that killed him instantly. The
covering Of tho wires is perfect pro-
teclion, and except III such cases they
can be- handled with perfect safety any

Judge Brill yesterday filed his decision
in the case of the State Of Minnesota
va. the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. The case Is All action on the part
Of the State to collect 3 per cent tax
for the year 1881 upon the gross earn
ings of the company on the road be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis and st.
Cloud and Sank Rapids. The railroad
company refused to pay the tax on the
ground that the road between the points
mentioned was owned by the Manitoba
Company, and that 1t was, therefore,
not responsible for the tax. Upon ad-
vice of Railroad Commissioner Baker.
the State in 1882 brought suit to recover
this tax for the year 1881, amounting to
l2,467 30. and Z per Cent interest per
annum. It was heard before Judg
Brill on demurrer, and he then ruit a.
as stated at the time, that though the
Northern Pacific Company did not own
the road, still it operated 1t, AID the tax
was, therefore, due tho State. His de-
cision yesterday was upon the original
snit aud WAS the same as that made
last year, viz: that the State of Mime
sofa Ia entitled to Judgment against the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
With costs and disbursements. The two
important points made in tho decision
are that the Northern Pacific IL liable TO
the tax, both under the terms of agree
ment made with the Manitoba for the
operation OF the road, and Also under
the terms of an act of 1865, under which
the road was chartered. According to
the lease made with the Manitoba, the
road operating any portion Of Its trask
ie TO pay the State tax. Counsel for the
Northern Pacific maintained that the
act Of 1865 exempted the company from
paying any tax upon its gross receipts.
excepting those earned on ITS own road.
Judge Brill, however. held otherwise.
The case was tried out of the term, ia
order that II might be brought imnaedi-
ately before the Supreme Coart. The
decision of the latter court will he look
I'd forward TO with great interest, "a the
question involved IL one of great im-
portance TO all companies operating
leased lines in Minnesota.

LONDON, Dec. l4.-O'Donuell took
final leave of his friends yesterday.
His brother was with him half an
hour. O'Donnell told him that just
previous to the shooting Carey asked
him to 20 below and order some beer,
saying he would go himself but he did
not care to have his wife see him.
O'Donnell went below and Carey fol-
lowed BIN, while drinking Carey said
with an oath II believe you know
me-" O'Donnell replied Eyes you are
Carey, the informer." Carey then
drew his pistol and attempted to fire.
O'DonEell knocked 1t up, drew his
own and fired. Carey's son was the
first person to come toward them. He
picked up his fathers pistol. Beyond
this 0Donnell refused to talk on the
subject. He Is in good spirits and
hopeful.
Hangman Binn has arrived to make
preparations for the execution OF
O'Donnell. The American minister
says he il not free to discuss the steps
taken to obtain q respite and that he il
hampered In approaching the British
government by the result Of the Law
