A m1RAouLous ESCAPE.

Accident on Chapel BBFeet-A Runa-
 way Horse Leaps On To the Front
 Platform of a Horse Car and Knocks
 the Driver Into the Gutter-The Car
 Horses Also Runaway.
 An accident occurred yesterday afternoon the like of which has never been seen in this city. It involved the narrow escape from fatal injury of a horse car driver and his plucky determination to keep on driving.
 Car No. 43 of the Fair Haven and Vest vile horse car line left the corner of Chapel and State streets at ten minutes past five o'clock. John W. Burke was the conductor and John D. Black the driver The car was bound for Steamboat dock. It had just crossed the Chapel street bridge and had reached Union street when 8 runaway horse attached to buggy came dashing madly up Union street. Before Driver Black had g chance to realize his position the horse had leaped upon the front platform, striking him with such force that he was knocked into the gutter.
 The horses attached to the horse caE were frightened and started at bTeakneck speed down Chapel street.
 The carriage was caught by the brake han de and the runaway horse made desperate effort to loose himself from it. After being carrled aDouG twenty rect on the car plat form the horse broke loose and very nearly turned complete somersault into the side of the street.
 As soon as Conductor Burke realized what was happening he dashed through the car and caught up the reins, but he might as we'll have tried to stop a cannon ball as to check the speed of the horses. Finally, in their wild gallop, one of them fell in front of Dickerman's floral establishment, blocking the car.
 Black was picked up and taken to Dicker- mans where he soon realized where he was. He had only few cuts on his face besides being thoroughly shaken up. It seemed to everyone that saw the accident miraculous escape from death.
 Black would not allow another driver to take his place, but again took the reins in hand. None of the horses were injured much to speak of, although the carriage was total wreck.
 The runaway horse belonged to Weideman, the brewer. He was just about to get into his carriage at the corner of Union and Fair streets when his horse became frightened at passing train and started up the street at a thun1erous speed.
 There were about dozen passengers in the car, but the affair occupied such short space OF time that the ladies did not have @ chance to scream. All in the car looked on in bresthless astonishment, evidently think ipg 1t all dream. After it was over several ladies got out and walked home, being so badly scared that they did not dare to ride
