A DOUBLE RUNAWAY.
Unpleasant Excitement on Main
Street.

An exciting runaway occurred yes.
terday afternoon about 2 O'Clock on
Main street. Mr.. Kronich left his
horse and buggy on Requena street
while he went to attend to some bust
ness, and in the meantime an Ed.
wards express wagon was driven UP
and the teamster, for want of better
place, hitched his horse to the
hind axle of Mr.. Kronich's buggy.
When that gentleman returned he
failed to notice what had been
done and prepared to drive off,
but the animal behind became
frightened and transmitted his trouble
to the leader in the buggy. Both
horses dashed on to Main street,
down which two-horse street car was
coming. BY most remarkable luck
the car escaped being wrecked, the
two vehicles being thrown near the
sidewalk, smashing the pole of one,
and thus liberated one of the ami
mails, which Immediately started out
unattended in the direction of home.
The other horse was held prisoner by
the harness and The shafts of the wag-
on, but was eXtricated without much
damage. No one was hurt, the only
losses being broken buggy and sew
eral broken panels in the express
wagon.
Another runaway occurred about
half,p past five O'Clock. A team at
tached to a heavy wagon ran down
Spring street, demolishing an express
wagon belonging to F. M. Westlake.

APRIL TRANSFERS.
Real Estate Changes i'm FOul
Months,

Real Estate Changes i'm Four
Months,
Transfers OF real estate during the
month of April amounted to $780,
479, which added to the aggregate OF
the first quarter of the year, makes a
total OF $27, ,495, ,402, against $22, ,740, 1859
for the same time in 1887. The num-
Der OF transfers shows an increase over
April, 1887, when there were 2.671.
Last month there were 1920, and a
significant fact was the increase in the
number of transfers for nominal con-
siderations. In April of 1887 these
numbered 404, while last month they
umbered 704. What the value of the
land or the amount of consideration
was as represented by these transfers,
no one can tell, but were it known it
would undoubtedly swell the aggregate
very considerably.
The transfers for April were as fol-
lows:
