A NARROW ESCAPE.

Policeman bowers Struggle With Team
at the Ferry.
Frank Gasker was arrested by officers
Dover and Callahan at the corner of East
and Market streets yesterday morning about
80 o'clock. Frank is a teamSter and also
what is Known as a ruSher. When he got
to East street and found the thoroughfare
closed he did not propose TO turn around
and 90 back, SO he demanded in 10 very
gentle tone that the Waterman remove the
rope and let him pass, but this the watch
man declined to do. This made the fellow
mad and he then sw0re lie would remove
the rope himself, and. jumping to the
ground, ne unfaStened the rope and then
mounted to his seat but before he got
started Oflcer Dover appeared and ordered
him 10 go back.
Instead of so doing be whipped up his
team Of four horses and was going through
on a run, when Dover seized the leaders by
the heads and tried to stop them. Let 90
those horses" shouted the enraged driver,
at the same time urging his h0rs 10 4 run
Dover held on as well as he could and was
dragged for some distance almost under the
horses feet lie dare not let go or he would
have had the lie crushed out OF him in
jiffy. The crowd OF people coming from The
ferry held their breath expecting to see the
officer trampled under the horses feet or
crushed beneath the p0nderous wheels, and
this undoubtedly would have been his fate
but for the timely appearance of Officer
Callahan, who ran TO his comrades assist
ance, and by the combined efforts of the
two policemen the team WAS brought to
siandStill.
The crowd that had gathered around
were loud in their condemnation the team
Ster'S conduct, and seemed we'll pleased TO
see him marched off to the North Harbor
Station, where he was booked for battery.

ANNIE SMITHS DEATH.
The Case Turned Over to the Coron
for Investigation.

The Case Turned Over to the Coroner
for Investigation.
Dr. c. G. Kenyon yesterday afternoon re-
ported to Coroner Garwood for official in
vestgation the case of Annie G. Smith, an
unmarried woman. 20 years Of age, who
died Monday at her parents residence, GIT
Greenwich street. DR.. Kenyon stated that
he had been called to attend the young
woman eight days before her death. After
making an examination of the patient the
physician was satisfied that a criminal oper-
alton had been performed, and so stated to
the girl, but she denied that such had been
the case. The physician insisted upon
knowing the truth. and the girl finally ad-
mitted that DR.. Kenyon's suspicious were
correct, but she refused to diyulge the names
of the guilty parties.
Coroner GaTwUOd had the body removed
to the Morgue and an autopsy held lastnght
showed that death resulted from peTitonits.
An inquest was commenced last night and
the testimony of John Patton, the step
father of the deceased, was taken. He tes-
titled that the girl was employed in the fac
tory of Levi Strauss 81 Co. She had al
ways been steady, kept regular hours and
had not kept company with any young man,
so far as the witness knew. The inquest
was then postponed to a future time.

electric lights is being agitated. Several
Park-street merchants are anxious to have

The initiatory steps have been taken for
the extension Of Louisa street, and the City
Attorney has been instructed TO prepare th
necessary assessment district.
Complaint is made that the streets are in
sufficiently sprinkled, especially along the

the lack of hydrants on the recently i'm
proved avenue in this section of the city.

recommendation that it be favorably acted
upon. 1t will come up for further consider
alton at future meeting of the board.
The property-OwnerS on Park avenue are
quite anxious for its improvement. The
avenue at one portion divides and inclOSeS a
strip OF land 100 feet wide and 500 feet long,
which may some day become park-its in
tended purpose This strip is held in trust,
and an effort has been made to deed it to
the city, but with Indifferent success The
improvement OF the avenue has been delayed
because of the peculiar status of this strip,
but the prODerty-O wners have agreed not to
take advantage of any technicality and the
