A VERY BAD SMASH-UP.
a Runaway Team Makes an Elk
citing Scene on Market Street.
A COSTLY CLOCK is DEMOLISHED.
And Three Small Boys Narrowly Es-
cape Death.--Tho Horses and Wagon
Escape Entirely Observation-Disclosures
Serious Damage Done in About Two
Seconds.

Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon there was one Of the most
exciting runaways, and with the most
serious results, witnessed in Wheeling
for q long time. A large truck wagon
belonging to the Wheeling Bakery com
pany, with two horses hitched to 1t,
was standing in the alley adjoining the
bakery to receive its load, when q boy
passed up tho alley at a pretty rapid
gait, pushing a wheelbarrow. The
racket the barrow made jumping over
the brick pavement frightened the
horses, andthey started down the steep
alley at q frantic speed.
When they reached Market street
they turned somewhat up street. The
street, as usual in the middle OF the
day, was almost q solid jam OF vehicles
OF all sorts, and OF people Of all ages and
conditions lodging among them: Had
tho wild team gone straight up Market
street at its reckless speed there must
inevitably have been a number OF grave
collisions with other vehicles, and In all
probability some loss OF life. As 1t was,
tho team made straight for Wheat d
Hancher's jewelry sore, and spectators
fully expected II to crash through the
fine plate glass windows Of the front OF
that establishments A light buggy be-
longing to P. Gilligan, the stone con-
tractor, was passing. His little son
was driving and Richard O'Bricn, o son
of Colonel Thomas 0'Brien. was sitting
beside him, whilo Harry Sims, a tele:
graph messenger, sat on the back OF
tho buggy.

0'Brien was thrown out, but was
fortunately not hurt to any extent.
The other boys held on aud escaped IN,

across the street, and one horse ran on
each side of the iron pillar supporting
the big clock on the curb in front OF
Wheat & Hancher's. Tho end OF tho
tongue struck tho post, and with such
a force that theliron rods anchored i'll
the stone below were pulled out the
stone being pulled in pieces.
The clock fell to tho pavement, and
the plate glass faces were broken into
small bits, while tho iron work was also
badly broken. One OF the horses Yves
Just then caught by J. II. Kinkaid, and
In thet- struggle to got loose again the
horses got as far apart as possible,
and the heavy clock in its fall did not
strike either. Neither Of the horses,
nor the wagon, was damaged a particle,
and the only injury to the harness was
the breaking ofa tongue chain.
Tho runaway caused much excite
mont all along that part of the street.
It was the rarest good fortune that more
serious results did not ensue.
The clock will be replaced at once. It
has been a great convenience to the
public, and it would be generally re-
garded US a misfortune if it were not re-
stored. 1t cost over $500, so that the
| damage was pretty serious.

that John Conroy, better known in this

Of tho notorious Gonroy gang, has made

Each timo Conroy has boon baked in
his attempt to suicide his dosire to dic
has increased, and no seems to have

for another effort His latest plan is
both novel and startling. He evidently
intended to have IL mako up in blood
curdling features for oil his unsucccss-
full attempts. Lie obtained an old case

act was to haVo talion place in church,

jump to his feet and cut his throat from
car to car. This is the plan no revealed
on Saturday when the caso.knito and
two largo powders were taken from his
pockets. Howhe obtained these articles
is q mystery. He says he intended to
kill st. Peter and St. Paul with the
stones. Conroy was placed in the

RESULTS OF THE GUTENBERG RACES
ESPECIAL TELEGnAM TO THE DISPATCH

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsrArcH.1
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Con Riordan, the
heavyweight California boxer, who went to
Europe with Peter jackson as his sparring
partner, returned to America on Wednes-
day. A reporter met him at the
Illustrated Ne.os Office to-day. In speak
ing of Charley Mitchell and Jim Hall, he
ssid
Mitchell is in good condition and says
he really means to fight Corbett. They are
down on him in England. Many persons
there think that he should have served
his two months sentence for assault, in
stead of appealing the cases. English jus
tice is very harsh, and if he does not have a
hearing pretty soon, it may be several
months before his hearing is granted, and
then he will have to serve out his term.
He and Jim Hall are constant compan-
ions.
"Hall is in excellent condition and keeps
himself that way nearly all the time. He
is not the kind of man that runs around at
night He lives quietly at Brighton, and
takes plenty of exercise in the country.
Jim appeared to be anxious for fight with
Fitzsimmons, and it wouldn't surprise Inc
to hear OF Hall and Mitchell arriving in
this country any day. Hail issued a card
in one OF the English papers recently to the
effect that he would fight either CorDett or
Sullivan, if they would bet him to in
the stake money"
A spasm of exhilaration was felt by THOSE
who revel in things pugilistic when they
heard that Mitchell had accepted the Cres-
cent City Clubs offer of $50, 900, and Hall
did likewise on the 10000 proposition TO
face Bob Fitzsimmons. But it was merely
q spasm, after all, and it didn't last very
long, for his pompadourial majesty put a
damper on the affair when he again declared
he would meet no one until September
next. Jim has said that now so often and
SO emphatIcally that it will have to be &C.
cepted as final, and hereafter we needn't be
at any "cracks" that may be
made against him by different fighters.
The one man who could make it extremely
caloric for Corbett, the Stygian Peter jack
son, is lying very low, content to await
the conqueror's pleasure. and then 60 at
him tor fair.

Washington Jefferson team to day, and the
home college team is now the unquestioned

odGs the greatest ever won by Washington
jefferson since its organization, the score
beng 80 to G. Had it not been 1ur "huke"

would have been whitewashed as they never
have been before. The Washington-J ener-
son line was simply impre- nabe, while
Geneva's was very weak, many big gains
being made through the center. The tackllng
and interference of the local eleven was
magnificent, pronounced so by men VINO
have seen the best work done in the greatest
games OF years past. Touchdowns were
