FORTUNATE ACCIDENTS.

Horses Run or with Sleishs, but do no
Serious !njury-Consting Casualty.
About half-past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon Dr.A. F. Stifel left his horse
and sleigh standing unhitched on Mar
ket street near Twelfth. The horse has
never given him any trouble before, but
yesterday he frightened at something
and started to run down Market street
at q rapid rate At Mrs. Ziegenielder's
confectionery somebody ran out from
the sidewalk to stop him, when he took
to the sidewalk in front OF the Wheeling
Bakery Company's establishment, and
ran from there TO Fourteenth street at
fearful speed on the pavement, which
was thronGed with people when he
started, but was soon deserted BY evcrv-
body but one lady. who just in front OF
the new City Bank building became be-
wlldered in the presence Of danger and
did not know which way 10 run. She
was barely missed by the sleigh as 1t
rwhizzcd past her. The horse left his
footprints all the way down the street,
but the only thing with which he col.
lldcd was dummy in front OF the Hub
clothing store, which was knocked over,
but not broken.
at Fourteenth street the horse slipped
on the curb and fell, and he was sup
posed to be hurt, but in about minute
rose and ran on to his stable. It seems
marvellous that he could run SO far on Il
crowded sidewalk and do no harm.
Last evening about hall past seven
William kochnlinc, tho Bridgeport ice
merchant, was driving two-horsc team
hitched to large sleigh down Market
street, when he turned sharply into
Fourteenth street. The sleigh upset,
and its occupants. Mr.. Kochnline. an
other man, Two ladies and child. we're
thrown out in the snow. Fortunately
none OF them was hurt, but the horses
dashed down Fourteenth street and up
Main with the sleigh on its side, bound
ing from side to side. It ran some dis
lance on Main street, but was finally
stopped without serious damage.
Last evening q bob sled unset on
Thirteenth street, above tho Cathedral,
with six or eight children OF assorted
ages on it, and several OF them were
slightly hurt, one little girl having her
ankle badly spraincd The accident
might have been more serious, as might
several others ef-thc kind which were
reported last night, but 80 far as heard
not a person was grayely hurt by al! OF
them.

The weather convinced those people
who had concluded that there was never
to be any moro winter in the Ohio Val
ley that tho conclusion was premature.
leo packers wore pleased smile, some
thing that has not recently been habit
ual with them, and coal merchants were
not displcascd. For the first time since
SO many OF tho large consumers were
cut oil the natural gas lines there was
somewhat OF q complaint Of q shortage
Ill tho fuel in some parts Of town Tor a
part OF the day, but it was nothing like
SO serious rs it used TO often be.
The sleighing was something great,
and there was more slcighs out than
anybody would have believed there
could be found in lll OF West Virginia.
The livery stable men charge two dol
lars for the first hour and one dollar IN
hour after that. At that rate Jew
hours hire will pay the cost OF the best
sleigh in Wheeling. The coasting was
also first rate last night, and the best
tracks were covered with people.
1t has been long time einco there
has been much trouble with the burst
ing OF water pipes by the cold, but both
water and gas pipes now give trouble,
the former freezing and the latter get
ting full OF the water which condcnses
in them. The city gas works force has
been kept busy since the cold snap set
in, attending to these difficulties. Plumb
ers also reap a rich reward.
