ored, and occupied by Miss Helen
Hewes, and Mrs. Hetherlngton's little
child, came near being dashed to

the near horse slipped and fell on the
Asphaltic pavement, striking tho
of horse, which set 1t to kicking and
rearing.
The driver never lost his head, and
the Talon horse got on It's feet when
the horses started up Market street on
a terrific pace. The driver steered the
excited animals into the telegraph
pole In front OF Mr.. Levi Birds ofiice,
which brought the team to q sudden
stop.
The pole. yoke and harness wer
very badly damaged. but luckily no.
