HORSE IN A SEWER.
Queer Plight of Rosinante in Ma
row City Trench.

Queer Plight of a Rosinante in a Mar
row City Trench.
One of the queerest accidents that ever
happe ned to dumb beast took place Fri
day afternoon on Harriet street, formerly
known as Garden street. A sewer trench
has been dug on that thoroughfare during
the past few days to depth of possibly
ten feet. Into this trench large draft
horse fell, striking squarely upon its back.
1t was being driven from stable when
this took place and, going backward, did
not see the hole in time TO turn,
Seen from above the animal was queer
sight. All that could be noticed were four
feet, which were kicking vigorously and
threatening to cave in the sides of the
trench and bury the quadruped out OF
sight. The trench was so narrow that the
horse could not move more than its legs.
After it had been there short time the
officers of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals appeared.
1t was Impossible to get the tackle ordi-
narily used for such purposes under the
beast. All that could be done was to hob
BILE two of it's feet and hoist away. Then
it was possible to get straps and ropes
under, and the horse came up to the sur
face once more. Incredible as it may ap-
pear. the horses back was not injured,
nor did the animal appear to have been
hurt in aQy Way.

The City Board of Examiners held a
session yesterday to make recommends
tons regarding teachers certificates.
Messrs. Morton, Faulkner and Babcock,
Mrs. Wood and Miss Nolan were present.
Superin :endent Babcock called up the
case of Mrs. Margaret Dwyer, who re-
signed from the department in Novem ber,
1891, and who wishes to be reinstated. 1t
was shown that her primary grade certif-
cate had been renewed once after her
resignation, but had expired in 1894. She
was reappointed as teacher by the Board
of EDUCATION during last month, but as
her certificate had been allowed to lapse,
the examiners did not see that they had
any power to renew it and declined to rec
ommend such course.

William Thomas is the architect who
designed the new plans. About half the
money needed for the building has been

expressed that the result OF the election
will materially strengthen the financial
standing OF the church.
