RUNAWAY ON PARK ROW.
Mail Wagon scnttcrs n Fruit-ven-

'Yoo,S s.LSp
A runaway mall wagon made things
lively for a few minutes In Park Row
near the Post-Omce this morning. A
big iron-gray mare with n feed : bag
hanging on her nose and attached to
one OF the single agons was standing
in Mall street. near Broadway, when a
truck came along and struck the rear
wheel OF the mail wagon.
The startled mare made a dash
towards Park Row. AS she ran down
the street the wagon made n wide
sweep and struck the stand OF an 1tal-
Ian fruit vendcr on the opposite side OF
Mail street, upsetting It and scattering
yellow bananas far and wide.
Every one at the crossing made haste
to get out of the way, and things looked
serious for the passengers on the cabl
car which was passing just at that
moment.
In rounding the corner OF Park Row
however, the forward whee.s Of the
wagon caught In the lamp-post and the
horse was thrown.
John Mcclure, the driver of the mall
wagon. who had followed up the una
way, was on the struggling horse In a
moment and had the animal under con-
troll.
The only damage done was a pair OF
broken shafts and n bad cut on the
mares knee. She was a green amin
and not used to the noise and hustle OF
Mall street.
