EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Happy Escape of Pedestrians in a Crowd
ed Street.

Aepul four O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
valuable horse attached to Mr.. w. k, Gould q
market wagon, which had been hitched in
Market Square, slipped the head-stall aud ran.
One wheel OF q top carriage near by was taken
on, and the next instant the runaway oollided
with Mr.. III. Maxfields light road wagon
standing in front of the Lancaster building.
The light vehicle was most essentially wrecked
and the horse attached to 1t thrown down.
The shock smashed the runaway team so that
only the forward wheels remained. After
nearly swinging into Aliens clothing store
the maddened animal dashed across the head
of Centre street. A wheel struck ON Elders
shoe store, damaging sign and checking the
animal. The sidewalk but moment before
seemed filed with people, but the crashes and
detentions of the runaway by collisions enabled
them to get out of the way, but there were
several hairbreadth escapes. Continuing on
the sidewalk for few hundred feet, the run
away took the street, badly damaging a stand
ing vehicle as he did So The lamp-post on
the northwesterly corner OF Congress and
Casco streets was the next obstacle encoun-
tered aud happily the final one. The post
was twisted, the glass in the lamp demolished,
and the runaway was thrown insensbe The
animal recovered, however, sufficiently to be
taken into Biake's stable, but it IL thought
that he is ruined. No person was injured in
the brief and lively smashing OF things and
1t was something almost marvellous, consider
ing the crowded condition OF the street and
sidewalks

The observer is struck by the great strength
aud convenience of the structure upon first en-

several floors are of the most massive and sub

and wood can make them, and the equipment
is bestowed in such manner as to facilitate the
processing of the goods in every department
On the ground floor are an enormous upright
boiler five large steam ovens or retorts,a steam
pump and an improved steam-coil testing ket-

are packed.
Here also are two immense refrigerator
rooms, fitted with every device for storing the
fresh fish awaiting processing. The compart-
ments OF these are arranged with separabe
boxes.

Antony and Cleopatra Pageant


The loves aud the woFld-sosses OF Egypt's
glorious queen and Rome's mighty, but unfor-
tunate soldier, will form the theme of poetry
and song as long as literature lasts. Two
thousand years have passed away since she vino

death at the sting Of an asp, respite from all
moral woe, but the world is as alive 10 her
story as it was when Rome was ringing with
the news OF victory at Actium. Cogniz4nt OF
this fact, the veteran manager, Adam Fore
