EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Wild Run of a Frightened Horse Abr
 the South Main Street Sidewalk.

Wild Run of a Frightened Horse Along
 the South Main Street Sidewalk.
 An exciting runaway occurred on South Main street about 9 o'clock this morning. A large bay horse to which was attached light, old fashioned top carriage, became frightened at some thing near the corner of Bank and Grand streets and started on run down Grand towards South Main street. In front of the Waterbury Furniture company's store, the wagon struck large telephone pole and a few feet further on collided with a heavy truck and the body and hind wheels were left on the street, the driver still sitting on his seat. The horse continued down Grand street and ran against the door of Sheehan's saloon, breaking light of glass in the cellar window with one of the front wheels, which with the shafts, were still attached to him. The animal took to the sidewalk up South Main street, at his best gait. At Menold's market, the bounding wheels struck the brace of an awning, cut the window sash and scratched the large plate glass window all the way across without breaking it. In front of Spiro's furnl- ture store were three large cane chairs they were sent flying and two of them broken. At Divers market one of the I wheels caught in the iron hitchlng post and the horse freed himself from the rest of the vehicle. Along the sidewalk he kept while pedestrians slid into stores and railways as rapidly as they conld several women having very narrow es' capes. In front of Miller 6 Peck s store a woman came along trundling g | baby carriage. She made a great effort to get into the store and just succeeded as the horse brushed against her. The excitement was too great for her anc she tainted immediately. The anima left the walk in front of Conlon Brothers and ran around into East Main street and at the corner of Brook street wa' stopped by George Partree. The horse
 was driven by a Hebrew peddler who refused to give his name.

SENSATION IN THE BORDEN CASE
Tho PrussIc Acid Matter Not Allowed In Evidence-AnOther Ratchet Found

Tho PrussIc Acid Matter Not Allowed
 in EvIdence-AnOther Hatchet Found
 Near the Scene of the Crime.
 NEW BEDFORD, June 15.-The defense in the Borden case scored a great vic tory to-day, when the judges announced that the evidence in the Prussic acid matter should be thrown out. The government officials are stunned, as this was one of the strongest links in their chain of evidence.
 A great sensation was created to-day when it was learned that another hatchet had been found near the Borden premises. A boy named Potter while searching for a missing ball found the hatchet on the top of a barn on the Crane property, near the Borden house. It was an ordinary hatchet, covered with rust. Under the rust it was gilded and looks as though it might have been used as an ornament. The police have secured the weapon and are making an investigation.

of delight and approval over 100 people offered
themselves candidates for the army's work.
General Ballington Booth conducted the meeting

Cooper Cnion the previous sessions having been
he'd in Carnegie Music Hall. General Booth was
assisted by Mrs Booth and half hundred of the
Officers of the American Division. General Booth
told a Tribune reporter before the meeting that
the report that the international headquarters would
be removed TO New-York had no foundation what
Let every one who devotes his soul to God raise
his or her hand cried General Booth, in opening
me meeting. In reply there was a sea Of hands, OF

Now then. all shout 'Hailcujah.' and a sound
resembling the roar of food rolled over the
gates had seated themselves General Booth cried:
Let us have enthusia sm-pien;y of IT, Don't mind
the few toney' people in the audience never mind
he continued: Il may. say that the press of
America is the finest IN the world.
"Halelujah. We will pray for them" cried one

Yes, yes cried another. Salvation for the

apace until the meeting was over.
