Thrilling Runaway Accident.--Nar.
row Escape of Four Persons.
Special TO The News.


NEWPORT, Dec. 1.--Mr. and Mrs. Will
liam Chase Of Providence, and Miss Hattie
Hayes and Miss III. OK Of this city, had a
narrow escape from serious in
juries, perhaps death, while at
tending funeral today. They all
occupied one carriage, and as the funeral
procession was starting the horses began
10 kick and the driver being thrown from
his seat they dashed down the road. They
ran along beside a stone wall, the
carriage pounding against IL. The occu-
pants managed to jump from the carriage,
one at time while the crowd held it's
breath. No sooner had the last person, NJ iss
Hayes, jumped, than the carriage over
turned and WAS dashed to pieces. The
occupants escaped without anything more
than q scare, except Miss OK, who
had her arm badly bruised. Those
who saw the whole OF the affair blame the
driver, who, they say, jumped from his
seat as soon as the horses began to kick
and was not thrown, as he claims.

ing from the shaft Of . dumb waiter.
He attempted to extinguish the flames
with bucket of water, but the fire had
gained such headway that the water had
no effect. The colored- man, seeing that
the flames were beyond his control,
rushed frantically from room to room to
arouse the sleeping boarders, 80 Of whom

had completed the rounds OF the rooms
the house was filled with smoke and the
man had to fly for his life.

ing the boarders on the third and fourth

rushed to the fourth floor. They tried
lenden's rooms but found both
.ocked. Tho doors were quick
