ArERnlFlC RUNAWAY.
A Team Dem Olishss tho sIemens Gas Pc,
on Twelfth Street.

on Twelfth Street.
One oil the most irightiul aud terrific
rnnaways ever witnessed in This city oc-
curred yesterday morning about II o'clock
on Twelfth street between Chapline and
Market. Fortunately no Que was hurt,
although it is wonder that several peo-
pie we're not killed and that the injury to
property was not greater.
The runaway team was the property OF
Peter Welly, the wholesale liquor dealer,
purchased only fsw days since. They
were harnessed to q new, heavy delivery
wagon. The horses started 10 run on
Chaplino street and by the time they were
turned into Twelfth street they were 60
ing at a pretty lively rate, Just
as they turned, the bit in the
mouth OF the near horse broke.
The driver was pulling as hard as he
could on the reins, and the horses were
pulled over upon tothe north sidewalk, in
front OF Mr.. Samuel Laughlin's stable.
The wagon struck some stone steps and
knocked off portion Of them. Ths
horses were going at lightning speed, and
they Numbered down the payementiA
front Of the Academy OF Music, running
directly into the large Seimen gas lamp
post on the corner in front Of the entrance
to Grubb's jawelry store. The noise made
rs the wild aud thoroughly frightened
horses dashed over the brick pavement
was understandable.
The driver rs soon as the horses got on
the sidewalk, jumped out, displaying the
same nerve and GOODNESS that had before
characterized his actions. -
struck was irresistible, The heavy iron
pillar was bolted to heavy stone, cover
ing the sewer mouth at that point. The
Stone was wrenched loose and appended,
and the post torn from its fastenings. The
bolts were actually pulled up through the
stone, cracking 1t into half a dozen
pieces. The pole OF the wagon was
shivered into splinters and the wagon It.
self badly broken and damaged. The
horses were knocked to the ground by the
shock. The tall post tumbted to the
ground, the large patent lamp on top went
whirling through the air and striking the
stones Of the street was mashed into
shapeless mass OF metal and broken glass.
The U. S. letter box on the post was broken
in dozen pieces. The gas pipe was torn
out OF the ground for several feet.
An immense crowd collected at once.
The driver was at the horses heads almost
as soon rs they fell to the ground, One
OF them was badly cut by the glass and it
was feared that it was also badly Injured
internally by the heavy iron post which
in falling struck it near the shoulder.
The destruction OF the Semen light was
a costly and unfortunate accident. Its
bright light was sadly missed last night.
Had it not, however, been the means Of
stopping the runaways there is no telling
how disastrous the result might have

last evening, when asked what be thought
OF the political outlook in Ohio, that he
was satisfed that Judge Foraker would be

there Is manifested wonderful en-
thusiasm for tho gallant young stan
dard bearer Of the Republican party, and
this enthusiasm is constantly increasing.
He says that the Germans are thoroughly
disgusted with the double.faced policy OF
the Democrats, and that many OF the Re-
publicans who started in as followers Of
Leonard, the Prohibocrat, have come
back into line and heartily condemn him
as rank hypocrite.
Major Abrams ia the representative OF
one OF the largest leaf tobacco houses in
the country, and he finds Wheeling one
OF his very best selling points. He Gays
that Wheeling cigar manufacturers know
tho good stuff when they see it, and that
they buy It in preference to any other.
He says that he finds business better than
it has been for some time past, aud prices

THE BURN, CASE,
stnl the Talk of tho Town-Hn Council
Igoore II.

Igoore II.
The case Of Officer Burns is still the
leading topic of conversation. Probably
the expose OF one Of Capt Smiths methods
will give variation to the theme to-day,
but yesterday it was all Burns. A well
known Democrat, an ex-ollicial, said to q
reporter: "The reference to Capt. Ben
nett's force in this mornings ISTRLLtGEN-
GER is pointed to by some Democrats as
confirming the theory that this is .
political fight. ! am ono Demo-
crat who thinks that the INTRLMGEScER
deserves the thanks OF our party for its
course. We can't stand Porter Smith and
his force. They would ruin any party,
and I hope You will go ahead and make
this Democratic Council uaload him and
elect decent man, Democrat hope, but
rather anybody than Porter Smith"
Said another Democrat: "The misbe-
havior Of Porter Smiths force will play
thunder with the party il it doesn't un-
load him. 0fcourse Ii the IETRLLIGENCER
was working for o political end, it would
Just let Porter and his men have rope
enough to hangthemselves, and then blow
him up Just before the next election.
The prediction was made yesterday by
those IN Il position 70 speak by the cards
that tho First Branch OF Council would
this evening refuse to concur with the
second in referring Burns's case to the
Committee on Police. This scarcely
seems worthy OF credence, however, in
view OF the additional facts brought to
light last evening.
0aicar Burns still wears his uniform and
badge anil continues to nominally dis.
charge the duties OF member OF the
force.
