A horse attached TO a wagon owned
and driven by Henry Ward became fright
ened by an Admiral street car at 6;16
o'clock last night on Randall square. The
driver tried In vain TO control theenimal,
and just about the time II reached the
corner of Gladstone avenue an Italian
named Silvata Giltrad, who was crossing
the highway, was knocked down by the
horse. Officer McCsrtin went to Giltrad's
home, 20 Peters street, and found him
suffering from very severe pains in his
back. Mr.. Ward reported the affair to the
police st the Second station within three
minutes after II occurred.
A bicycle accident occurred on Randall
square last evening under rather peculiar
circumstances. Two young Hebrew lads
named Ringold have very novel way Of
riding a bicycle at the same time. IL Is
not tandem arrangement, but the lads
seem to enjoy 1t just the same. They
went mp Charles street just behind coal
team and suddenly turned out from be-
bind the team on the wrong side OF the
road, and smashed into young man who
was also out bicycle riding. 1t was de-
cideuly unfortunate meet for the latter,
for the rim OF his front wheel was splint-
cred, bis tire punctured and the spokes
twisted. Naturally enough the man
whose machine had been so badly wreck
ed wanted satisfaction out OF the young
lads who had done the injury, and in the
meanwhile police officer came along.
The latter wanted the Riugald boy that
owned the machine that did the damage
TO take the owner of the injured wheel to
see the formers father. This did not jibe
with the idea of young Ringold. for he
was pretty crafty and said that ii would
be no use to follow the officers advice, as
his father could not talk English. Then
young Ringold took his bicycle on his
shoulder and worked on the sympathies
CT the injured party by claiming his own
wheel was badly injured and that he was
four miles from home. The party who
had been the innocent victim of the trou-
bic went his way, making the best OF his
misfortune. AS for Ripgold, there was
not scratch on his wheel, and his home
was very close TO the Second police sta
tion. Ne spent the next two hours cycl-
ing as IL nothing had happened.
Two young lads who are employed as
messenger boys have adopted an idea
that csnnct fell to injure them with
their fellow craftsmen. that of bicycle
riding. True, one OF them cnly rides on
the cross bars ana the other fellow does
not exactly move like cyclone until
after business hours, but nevertheless. 1t
il contrary to general ideas of propriety,
so when the two lads had a head to head
collision on Randall square this morning,
and when they fell but little sympathy
was expressed for them. Neither lad
was badly hurt.
James Shea and Margaret Gilliese were
married at 81. Edwards Church yester-
day morning by Rev. Father Pine. The
bride was attended by Miss Annie Bless
ing ana the groom by bis Brother, Will
liam Shea. A large number OF friends
of bride and groom witnessed the mar
riage ceremony ana afterward went to
the BRIDES home where an elaborate
wedding breakfast was served. From 10
to 2 %. m. there was very pleasant re-
ception, during which O number Of choice
wedding gifts we're displayed, which
testified in substantial way as 10 the
great popularity OF the bride. The
groom is a respected member of the
Emmett Temperance Cadets, and Mr..
and Mrs. Shea have the best wishes of a
host OF friends for a long and happy
married life.
