1T WAS CONTAGIOUS.
One Horse Runs Away and Starts
Three Others.
A Lively Series of Collisions and q
Postoffice Clerk Injured.

A horse attached to an express wagon,
in charge OF boy, was the cause OF con-
siderabi excitement on Weybosset street
last evening. When opposite the estab-
lishment OF the Flint Company the boy
dropped one OF the reins and the horse
began to run and at the corner OF Dor
rance and Weybosset streets collided
with carriage which contained Mr..
and Mrs. w. /. Wood. The horse driven
by Mr.. Wood started to run but the car
riage collided with the curbstone in front
of s. Y. Phinney's cigar store
and went on the sidewalk and
large pane OF glass in the csgar
store was broken. In his flight Mr.
Woods horse frightened pair of horses
owned by John NJ. Dean that were stand
ing in front of the X. l.. Rose Co. They,
too, started to run, but soon
collioed with an electric light pole.
They freed themselves from the carriage,
but Mrs. Dean, who was in the vehicle,
and the driver, were not injured.
Mr.. Woods horse ran into Market
square and struck +. l.. Irving
and knocked him down. Mr.. Irving was
injured internally. lie was taken into
Greene's drug store and attended by DIR.
johnson OF Cranston, after which he was
taken to bis home on Abbot place. All CT
the horses were afterward caught without
doing further damage.

opening to improve matters with
the chances one TO three that it won't
find any bacillus to conquer. Mean
while, however, as has been pointed
out by eminent authority, II
is not unlikely that this horse
fluid may introduce into the system the
virus OF any other loatbsome disease.
And it is not unlikely that TIE chance
Of this may be at least as great AS the
chance that the case of diphtheria would
not be cured without the use of the
anti-toxin.
The cure Of corruption by corruption
seems to have peculiar fascination, but
we expect to see Or. RoUx's discovery
shortly relegated to the tomb of char
latanism along with FERRoN's and HAFF-
KINE's cholera inocuation, KocH's
lymph, that monstrous concoction of
BRowN-SEQUARD, ard several minor
extravagancies that in their day have
sent doctors and laymen into Mysteries.
Aud we are not sure, either, but the
cruelty to animals society might find a
good case for consideration in the scien-
titic dosing of horses with diphtheria.
Accordingly, pending better demon
stration OF the value Of anti-toxin than
anything that has yet been adduced, if
we have diphtheria we shall try to worry
along with it and not permit our suffer-
ing body to be charged with horse
blood that has been previously dosed
and otherwise prepared to slay a micro
organism that the chances are one in
three that we may not have about us, or,
if we have, that the chances are three
to one will die natural death from
ordinary treatment faithfully performed
by our esteemed family physician.

misplaced. We are not only willing but
glad TO furnish the notice and to do any
thing at any time that will prove Of
assistance or value to the excellent or
ganization of which he is the head. We
are sorry that the Union is too poor TO
pay for much printers ink, but so far
ms THE News is concerned il can have
all the printers ink it can reasonably use
at any and all times. and if it ever gets
rich we shall keep this offer open, pre-
ferring that its means be devoted to
the direct development Of its excellent
work.
The Union for Christian Work is nota-
BILE among the charitable organizations
Of tire city. According to the valuable
report of the ministers on local charities,

THAT WAS POLO.
Last Nights Game I'm Infantry Hall
Was a "Corker."


Was a "Corker."
There was good attendance at the polo
game in Infantry Hall last night between
Providence and Pawtucket, and polo OF
the highest class was the rule. The Grays
won by score OF z to 8.
There were several noticeable features
to the game. The passing OF both clubs
was fine, although Providence seemed to
have little the better OF 1t. At the be-
ginning of the game Furbush apparently
presented the Tigers two or three goals,
because he would leave the cage and chase
the ball.
On the other hand Lations for the IT,
gers stuck to his post except once and as
luck would have it that "opce" gave the
enemy goal. Individual work on the
floor was feature, also. Cunningham
did some fine rushing and passing. New
comb and Leydon were unusually active,
but Hipson carried the day.
IL he had been as shiftless or Indifferent
as some of his enemies aver, he certainly
made true brace start last night and
played himself into the good graces OF
the spectators.

Do.dos On Feb. 3. 1868,
DO'N bloody drama Pc
Avengers I'm culiar to the south
west in troublous
OIIIIOTIIls times was enacted


in Mingo swamp. near jackson, Mo-
The heroes of the occasion acted under
military orders, though their methods
were of the wild border type. The
vicinity of Mingo swamp harbored a
guerrilla band whose leader bore the
lofty title General MCGEE" The fast
nesses of tho swamp served for lair.
BY the aid of scouts as desperate as the
outlaws themselves Major Reeder of the
Twelfth Missouri cavalry tracked the
chief members of the gang TO the interior
of the swamp. The ground was frozen
to a solid crust, and inhabitants who
knew the treacherous nature Of bog
lands in winter urged Reeder not to risk
the lives of his men where they might be
ambushed in the morass, powerless to
resist. But the game had been freed;
the hunter blood was up, and, although
binding snowstorm added to the dan
ger of tho enterprise, tho major and 40
picked men rode on, swimming their
horses over the streams and swamp lakes
until their hoofs struck solid earth in
n farm clearing. where MoGee's men
held rendezvous. These numbered that
day 30, besides MCGEE. Taken by sur
prise, the outlaws ran TO cover around
tho farm buildings Their pursuers kept
tho saddle, leaping their horses over
fences and other distractions. "No pris.
oners" wns the order of the day, and as
it was all question of quick shooting
it took but few minutes to end IT,
McGeo was shot dead, eight Of the band
died with him. and 30 others wounded
beyond recovery were left TO die in
peace, whilo Rceder's band led from
the swamp two slightly wounded fell
lows who had been spared because the
avengers hadn't the heart TO complete
the wholesale sentence Of death.
