CRASHED into 4 CABLE CAR.
Shaft Of a Wagon Pierced Several
Seats in a Collision.
Passengers Narrowly Escape Death
or Injury Oh Park Row.

Passengers on a Third avenue cable
car going uptown this morning were
considerably excited over a collision
which occurred at 80 o'clock on Park
Row, at James street. Many OF them
narrowly escaped serious injury, as the
shaft from a runaway wagon tore up
several of the seats. The car was num-
bered 2l5. and was in charge Of gripman
1870.
The collision was caused by the clang-
Ing OF the gongs of the other cable cars
at Chatham Square. At that point a
horse and bakers wagon was being
driven slowly by Charles Pfeifer. OF 81
Catharine street. The animal was
startled by the noise, and became I'M
manageable. In spite Of all that Pfeifer
could do, the horse broke away and
started down Park Row at a breakneck
pace.
Car No. els. which was crowded with
r passengers. was going up Park Row at
full speed at the time in order to round
the big curve at Chatham Square, and
seeing the runaway the gripman put on
the brakes 80 as to avert a collision, but
IL was too lete.
On came the runaway, and on airing
the cable car the house turned aside a
little. with the result that one shaft OF
the wagon crashed into the cable and
was driven through several Of the seats.
How several OF the passengers were not
killed instantly seemed almost a miracle.
Many OF them. however. had seen their
danger and Jumped off.
The driver Of the bakers wagon was
thrown to the pavements, but luckily
escaped serious injury. After the col
i.sion the horse was easily captured
The cable car was badly wrecked.
II was thought at first that the grip OF
the cable had been injured by the col
lision. and word was sent TO the power
house for the repair wagon. Before Its
arrival, however. the car was righted
again and proceeded on Its way uptown
No arrests were made.

Gang That Assaulted n Policeman.
Policeman Matthew Rellihan, of the
Amity street station, Brooklyn, has
aroused the enmity OF a gang Of loung-
ers. who infest the river front between

committing other disorderly acts. Some
of the gang swore to get even with
him. and last night they attempted to
carry their threat into execution.
Rellihan was walking along Furman
street, near Joralemon. when a crowd OF
toughs showered him with stones. Some
of the missiles struck the officer and he
started in pursuit Of the gang. The row.
dies ran for cover. Two of the men ran
into a saloon and the policeman went
after them. They rushed through the
crowd and out Of the building by r rear
door. Then they ran towards the Float
Ing Bethel.
Policeman Cannon, who was on the
boat. jumped ashore and caught one OF
the men. while Reliihan followed the
other fellow. The fugitive ran out upon
the dock and when he saw. that he
was cornered, he jumped into the water,
swan under the pier and got away.
The man who was captured said he
was Patrick Griffen. eighteen, OF 314
Furman street. He denied that he was
among those who pelted Rellihan with
stones but he was locked up. Rellihan
was not injured.
