Yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock

Thomas Mullen lost nearly all Of his house
hold goods. Mullen is glassworker,
employed in the Buckeye Iron Works, and
has resided on Fourth street. two doors
above the Commercial Block. He rented
a house in Woods Addition and employed
Helling to move him. Yesterday he went
to the house and loaded his wagon heavily
He then put a table on top. Mullen told
him he had too much on the wagon, but he
went ahead. He got on the table without
any hold and started the horses. They
had fairly started until the table fell be-
tW cen the horses, carrying Helling with it.
This frightened the animals and they ran
of. They ran down Fourth street at very
rapid gaiI, and out through the orchard and
IL ar out "a Cows coal bank, where they
wire brought to stop by colliding with a
coal wagon. In turning Donovans corner
be wagon beams became detached and the
bed was thrown into Hoyles yard Null
ems goods were scattered all along Fourth
street and reduced to fragments. The
stove, dishes and looking.glasses we're broken
INTO thousand pieces, and the organ and
furniture reduced into so much kindling
wood. Helhng was seriously but not dan
gerously injured. He received severe
shock. but escaped without any bones being
broken. The wheels passed over his LETT
thigh, and two ribs were fractured. He
will certainly have to pay for the goods
smashed up.
