tors O'Brien& Clark In their suit against the city
for nearly $4,000 O00 al eyed to be due for work
done In excess OF the estimate in the construc-
ton OF the big aaueduct. said yesterday that
the suit instituted by Mr.. O'Brien for disso-
luton OF the firm would probably be settled
amicably. The ground for the suit. as stated
by Mr. O'Brisn. is that MIR. Clark has ov. r
drawn his account 100000 or moro. Mr.
O'Brien said yesterday In presence OF Mr..
Lovstt. while refusing to give his reasons for
the action. that he desired dissolution Of the
partnership. and considered the easiest way to
attain that end was to allow the firm to go Into
liquidation There was plenty OF money TO pay
100 cents on the dollar He declined to explain
in what manner Mr.. Clark had overdrawn his
account
John II. Mooney. the silent partner OF tho
firm. did not care to talk about O'Brien's ac-
ton. but Mr.. Clark was not SO reticent. No one
could have been moro surprised he said than
he was ut hearing Of the appointment Of a re-
asking for or desired u dissolution Of the firm.

tet were colored people. They went TO Milford
and had Nm enjoyable time. starting on the re-
turn trip homo at about 10 2. NJ. The night
was one OF Egyptian darkness. ard 1t was ut
,erly impossible to see more than few feet
ahead. As they dove upon the bridge cross
ing the Sawkill River they colided with bug
~ containing two young ladies and driver.
coming in the opposite direction. The horses.
frightened by the shock. reared high in the
air. throwing the occupants OF both vehicles
out. and then started on a dead run In oppo-
site directions.
In the collision Mary Brown was thrown over
the trout OF the wagon and became entangled
In the under part Of the vehicle. She was
dragged ovor a rough country rond eight or
eight and one-half miles, and was dead when
found. Her AGE WAS about seventeen. Tho
runaway team passed through Port Jervis at
1880. and PERSONS who were on tho street say
they hoard tho piteous cries OF woman. but
no one could tell whence they came. No blood
stains were found at any point south OF the
Delaware River. but from the brow OF Pike
street hill to The point whore the ody was

showing plainly where tho life OF tho young
woman WAS crushed out. When found both
feet wore fast in the axle sprinRs. her head and
body resting on the ground. None OF her limbs
was broken. but the back OF her head was
crushed In shocking manner. and the shoul-
ders. back. and arms were horribly lscerated
and torn.
The runaways passed In their wild career
roads. from Milford to Port Jervis. across the
lonR bridge spanning the Delaware River be-
tween Port Jervis and Matamoras. over
numerous tracks Of the Erie Railroad. up Pike
street. over the Delaware and Hudson Canal.
and quarter mile beyond. where tho bleeding
and mutilatsd body was found.
1t 10 not known what became or happened
to tho rig that collided with the Port Jervis
team. nor even TO whom 1t belonged.
