A darkey driving a team of horses OF |
] ohm Evans, this morning, had taken
load of laborers to the Island, and on his |
return the horses started on a run down |
Second avenue at rapid pace. The |

the wagon would frequently strike them,
which caused them to attempt TO run
away. To make the matter worse, the |
singletree fell down Fortunately no |
accident happened.

a mistake. Tho whistle was that of the |

The Phoenix bell then followed suit, and |
a general racket was raised The fire |
department turned out, but not knowing |
n what direction to go, did not get very |
