Narrow Escape From Runaway on wey-
b0sset Street.

The driver of un express wagon. topped
with painted cotton cloth on a substantial
frame, announcing that the Providence and
wiIkesbarrs baseball clubs would play today,
adjusted a canvass bag filled with oats to his
borses head and left the animal standing In
front of the bank building on weybosset
street to chew his dinner at leisure. Where
the driver went doesn't much matter. beyond
the fact that he was elsewhere than he ought
TO be.
Something startled the horse at o'clock
and he went at a clipping gait down the
street. The way wasn't clear. however, and
for few moments 1T looked as though sew.
eral persons on the crowded street would be
killed. Near the corner OF Orange street an
old man and bog felt the contact of the
wheels as they whizzed by. They jumped
just in time. In the middle of the, street an
electric car and a dray with tho driver
percbed' high on his seat blocked the way.
The runaway swerved 10 one side in front OF
Belcher a. Loomis store ana ran straight on
to the drsy. The driver. seeing the peril.
stayed in his seat and held his horse steady.
Tho baseball sign and part OF tho RAINING
gear parted company from the rest of the
outfit because OF tho shock Of contact, and
the runaway took TO the sidewalk. from
which pedestrians scampe-ed in all directions
from Orange street TO the Arcade. A boy on
bicycle was knocked over. but the only
damage he sustained will be to his pocket
book 10 repair his wheel.
Tho horse as far as the Arcade on the
sidewalk. and then took to the street again.
where he left the shafts and front wheels.
and then dashed on to the posioffoe. where it
was stopped by an agile citizen.
As soon as the horse seemed 20 realize that
its exercise was over. and that 1t wouldn't
have to drag that baseball sigr any more to-
day, IL resumed its dinner. for the bag of oats
was about all that was left with the horse Of
the original equipment 1t was oil quickly
done, but there We're a good many frightened
persons in the vicinity. and some of them
have been talking about their narrow escape
ever since.

A PERSISTENT THIEF.
White Robbed a Cigar Store Several
Times and Was Caught.
When Searched II Was Found He Had
Also Been Stealing Letters.

Walter White spruce looking colored
man, who has been out of State Prison,
where he served term of four years for
larceny. but short time, was arrested
in front of Young's cigar store On Vest
minister street at y o'clock this morning
and taken to the Central station, where
he was locked up on the charge OF lar
ceny.
A few days ago White went in } the
cigar store at the corner Of Westminster
and Torrance streets and when he left a
handful of cigars from box on the show
case was missed. The next day White
called again, and more cigars were miss
ing, when he went out. lie called again
this morning an6 as soon as he stepped
into the store Manager w. 4. Allen, and
William Carter, one OF the clerks, kept
thefr eyes on MIN, and saw him help
himself to cigars. He then went down
Westminster street followed by Mr. Car
ter. When White saw officer Anthony he
started TO run and so did the officer, who
succeeded In catching White before he
fairly got under way.
At the station White was searched and
among his effects were some % letters,
which had been addressed to employees OF
the Union Railroad Company. When
asked where he got them White said
that he took them from the little shelf In
front OF the counter at the Union Com
pany's station op Market square.
he was asked why he took them and re-
piled because God told him to. All Of
the letters had been broken open and
from one or more small sums OF money
had been taken.
Postmaster Richard Hayward was no.
titled, as the police thought perhaps White
had yiolsted some OF the laws in relation
To the United States mail. The postmas-
ter informed the police department that
he bad not.
Henry v. A. JOHN, secretary of the
Union Railroad Company, called at police
headquarters and looked over tine letters.
He said tbatithere were none that were
the property of the company, but he
thought that che men who had money
sent TO them in the letters stolen will be
willing 10 prosecute White.
