Exploits of q MIX Team.

An exciting runaway occurred yesterday
morning about $50 o'clock. A horse at
taehed to milk wagon took fright and
started at breakneck speed toward Market
street bridge. Before reaching the bridge,
however, carriage was run into st the
fountain, wrecking it badly and throwing
out the occupants. Bridge tender Forsythe,
thinking to stop the runaway, put up the
effort, and when the front wheels struck it
the gate was forced open by the bending OF
the rod. The road being clear the animal
continued out the eauseway to the Hare's
Corner road where 1t was caught and driven
back by John Braunstein, who was ou.
driving with a friend. The wagon was badly
strained and the milk cans empty, their
contents having been spilled.

A good story is told on the president of
the Harrisburg club. When he heard that
the Merritts were about W dsband he
posted in bot haste to Reading, where the
Merritts were playing. He interviewed the
nine and got their prices. For the moment
he was staggered. Giimpses of thousand
dollar notes running along telegraph wires
came before bis vision and then turned into
a shower OF twenty dollar gold pieces before
he recovered. He then said: "Gentlemen,
we have two banks In Harrisburg, but the
people have only deputized me to oier you
one of them" He bowed himself out ind

The ValarOus Attack of Edgar M Hopes

@NsSaeSAA
on n Burglar, fF
About 10 O'Clock last evening the house
keeper for hdgar NJ. Hopes and Henry c.
Conrad, ESQ.,, at 500 Market street, heard
some one enter the huuse aud proceed to the
room of Mr.. Hopes. She called but re-
ceived no answer and then instituted a
search for the Intruder which proved unsuc-
cessful. When Mr.. Hoepes returned home
he was told OF the occurrence but placed no
stress upon the information. He had already
disrobed when he thought he heard noise
in the hath room. The first thing that
flashed through his mind was the story
the housekeeper had told him, so picking up
a revolver he made his way to the bath room
which he found to be unoccupied. Upon
looking out of the window toward the win
dow of his own room he saw the shadow OF
a man moving about in the room. As
quickly as possible MIR. Hoopes ran back to
his own room just in time to see a man
crawling out of the window to q back
roof carrying his watch and chain which he
had placed upon the bureau while undress-
ing. Unfortunately Mr.. Hopes is not a
good marksman so that the two shots he
fired at the intruder had mo- other effect than
to frighten the thief, who dropped the watch
and chain and fed. The police were
Immediately notified and will no doubt have
a clue in a short time as to who the intruder
WAS. The MoTni'sg NeDs says in its article
on the encounter that "the only article
missing isLan oEereoat which, the thief is
supposed TO have had on when Mr.. Hoopes
was in the closet. Other articles of cloth
ing were scattered upon the floor"
