How a Phaeton caugnt a Horse.

A horse with one Of his hind legs caught
IN the rear wheel Of phaeton attracted
considerable crowd on Congress street near
Brown yesterday afternoon. 1t took the
morse fraction OF second to tangle his leg
up in the spokes, but 1t took some minutes
before the crowd had instructed the driver
and the men who went to his assistance how
to release the animal This was finally done
and neither the horse nor the phaeton
seemed to be hurt. The affair came about
In this manner. 0r. Way, the owner and
driver OF the phaetoD, pulled up suddenly
as ne was driving across the car track to let
a lady pass him. A car was coming down
the grade at this point and DIR. Way pulled
up so short that the driver could not stop
before his horses reached the phaeton, al
though the brakes were put on hard. DIR. Way
did not hear the drivers whistle, and so the
car horses swung out to oneiside to avoid the
carriage. As they did so, the horse nearest
the phaeton stuck his foot between the
spokes OF the wheel, and in twinkling was
standing caught as If in trap, the wheel
having turned enough to lift his foot several
feet from the ground, the car stop
ping several feet from the carriage. Then
DR.. Ways horse was taken out, and after
some moments of interest to the crowd and
discomfort to the car horse, the wheel was
moved sufficiently to release him.

Charged with Obtaining Money IN
der False Pretences.

Yesterday Deputy Marshal Sterling ar
rested man who gives the name of John j.
Harrington among other names, on charge
of obtaining money under false pretences.
Some time ago Mr.. Cuddyer, assistant
bookkeeper for J. w. Perkins 6 Co., bought
a land certificate of John j. Harrington, pay
ing therefore the sum of $40. The certificate
proved to be bogus, the New York house on
whom 1t was drawn, not acknowledging it
and denying that Harrington is in their EN-
ploy. Harrington also swindled other Port
land people, it is said.
Harrington says he belongs in Charlotte
town, Prince Edward Island, and has been
for some time past In Waltham, Mass. He
has wife and four children living In a
destitute condition on Cumberland street
near High. Harrington says that he was
authorized by the New York house to sell
these certificates. The twenty dollars which
he collected was his own commission and
upon the buyers presenting the certificates
In New York and paying an additional sum
they were to receive the regular deeds Of the
land they had purchased. On the other
hand the New York firm denies all knowl-
edge of Harrington and his methods.

AFTER DARK.

AFTER DARK.
Jim Corbett, the young California pugilist.
who is travelling with William A. Brady's
AFTER Dark" company, gives sparring ex-
hibition nightly in the concert hall scene
with Jim DAILY, the champion heavyweight
of Pennsylvania. DAILY spared with Slavin
at the Madison Square Garden, New York,
soon after the latter arrived In this country.

but managed to land on that doughty person
several times. Since he began sparring with

chance to study the Californian's style.

ny, as will be remembered, made a decided
hit In the role Of an Irish servant in "The
Shadows of a Great City" giving to the part
such color and effectiveness as to make 1t the
mostprominent Of the cast. Her success in
this melodrama led her to try her fortunes as
a star in "The Step Daughter" written ex-
pressly for her by Mr.. l.. r. Shewell. Last
year demonstrated the wisdom of such a
step, for she added greatly to her already ex-
cellent reputation, for the reason that in her
new field she was afforded wider scope for
her talents.
