 One of the Adams Express company's horses ran away late yesterday afternoon and there has not been record of so many narrow escapes and such a smashing ot vehicles since Moss cider team ran away in Bank street over three years ago Thomas w. Lafin was in charge of the turnout, which was 8 new one. He was delivering a package at the head of Burton street, when the horse started down the street, increasing his speed as he struck into Bishop street. When he turned into North Main street he was on a dead run. The noise of the wagon spurred him on and at every jump he increased his gait. D. E. Woodman, Bradleyville milkman, who was making his first trip, was driving
 
 reached Cook street. He jumped out. The heavy express wagon collided with the milk wagon and ruined the wheels. A horse and carriage belonging to Mrs Shel- don of Naugatuck was standing in front of Miss A. M. Daniels millinery rooms. The runaway hooked onto the carriage and dragged it along several rods, leaving the horse hitched to the post. It encountered Davis & Co.'s delivery wagon near the Methodist church and knocked it into smitherines. Little Andrew Cooney, who was driving, crawled out of the wreck without scratch. The express wagon was hung upon the lamp post at Abbott av- enue, the animal cutting across the green and running into Hall Brothers barn.
 Michael Pagan, aged 73 years, and Henry Demming, a middle aged man, who talked very rapidly, were charged in the police court this morning with obtaining money under false pretences. They are residents of Canal street, and MT. Demming has for number of years been foreman at the Waterbury Box company's factory, but re- linquished his position April 1. Last June Demming came to s. P. Williams and asked for loan of $3OO MT Pagan ac- companied him, and said that he owned property It was formerly in his wife's name, but when the mortgage was paid the quit claim deed was made out to him. MT Williams made nasty examination of the deeds and loaned Demming the money, MI Pagan indorsing the note. When it be- came due MT Deming found he could not pay it, and it was renewed. It became due again and still Demming was unable to pay. He went to Sheriff N. B. Futile in regard to loan, and spoke of MT Pagan as his security MT Futile said that Pagan had no property. This statement Demming says surprised him very much, as he sup posed everything was all right. He thought MT Williams had made thorough examination of the records in the town cerk's office. MT Futile called on MT Will Hams, who was surprised to learn that Fla gan had no property. MT Pagan, who is very feeble, testified that he did not re member having any transaction with M Williams, that his memory had been fail ing him for some time. On cross -examin ation he admitted that he thought he owned the property, and the first intimation he had to the contrary was when the papers for his arrest were served upon him A number of witnesses were called, who 4o M, hoinC
