avenue, while going across that highway,
near Evans street, yesterday afternoon
came very near being thrown under the
feet OF a pair OF horses attached to a
hack. There were a number OF hacks
going along he avenue ut the time, and
Mrs. Gull became 80 confused that when
she reached the middle Of the road she
did not know which way to turn. The
prompt action OF a hack driver. who GER
tainIy deserves great ore1it for his cool
ness saved the woman from being run
yer. The driver pulled back bis horses
on their launches and the pole OF the
hack stood almost straight In the air,
and he also gave the warning to the
drivers behind him. Finally Mrs. Gull
became composed enough to reach the
sidewalk. There was great excitement
during the time Mrs. Gull was in Inn
miuent Danger, and 1t was with sigh of
relief that travellers along the highway
saw the happy ending TO what at one
time promised to be q very distressing
accident.

home 10 on Livingstone street, was
arrested by Officer Mccarthy last night.
He had put bis hand through broken
window In the store OF Michael Leahey at
rs Cross street aud pulled out Six pack
ages of.tobscco. Four old pairs OF pants
were also IN his possession, but he claims
these were given him., at any rate they
were not worth stealing. Dolans mother
claims that this is his brst attempt at
stealing, ..end the police do not know any
thing against him up to the act of last
night.
FOUND BEFORE REPORTED.
Constable Joseph Tesla picked up a
black horse in Tooleville last evening and
s.1 A.. "A a. -
lad reported TO Mr.. Tesla after he found
the horse that a strange man had early
in the day induced hfm to take q ride,
and through all the beat Of the day the
horse was driven until night came on,
when the man, after putting the wagon
in one place, the harness in another, and
tying the horse in the woods, left him.
The horse wss put in the pound at the
Dexter Asylum. The youngster was
badly scared when taken to task by the
constable and undoubtedly gave all the
information he had about the turnout.
Up to IL o'clock no missing team had
been reported to the police of the Second
station, and IL was another case that
seems to substantiate Sergeant Hartnett's
statement about police work in the
Second district. "We find the stuff be-
fore he parties that have II taken from
them know It's gone"
pHEN oMESAL BALL GAME.
ItOpAc WuO huOW n Ohll khfne Us u
ball game are talking today SO fast that,
Notwithstanding IT is still July, some
of their friends are wearing ear laps. 1t
is all the result of game between the
Gladstone avenue "boys" and the New
England brakemen. The score is cred
ita bly, reported as 8 TO 8 in favor of the
New England aggregation. The um-
pire OF the game was Hough OF Coven-
try Centre and both mines say ne IL q
good one. Mr.. Hough is OF the opinion
that the game was about as holly a con-
tested one as was ever played, and that
the New England fellows should Join the
Bostons and give them a needed push to
the top. IL was grit as welt os science
that won the victory Tor the New Eng
landers, and John Horton. though his
tire was decidedly In need of wind, was
tho short, thick set individual who
made the members of his team want to
caress him altogether. Horton also fig
urea in a fine double play with Henken,
and the other features that were .. X.
were the stick work OF Conners and
johnson and the running of tho Edwards
brothers. The Gladstone boys want re-
venge, and as the other side is more than
willing TO give II, another brilliant game
is looked for by the lovers OF ,port along
the road.
