THE HORSE KICKED.
Presentation TO P. w. j. H. Higgins
by Columbus Lodge.
Working Time Shortened at Fletchers.
North End Incidents.

| Robert Savage the'six-year- old son OF
kickedsby horse yesterday afternoon
and cut over the left eye. Fortunately
| the horse that lid the kicking had no
shoes on, so the cut over the eye Of
young Savage is not severe one. The
wound was dressed by DR.. Luke Bartlett.
There was apparently no one TO blame
for the accident except the injured boy
himself. A young man was leading a
horse owned by O'Connell Brothers, the
| provision dealers, down West River street
when young Savage ran into the. street
and hit the horse over the legs with a
small switch. The horse expressed his
dislike in the unpleasant manner before
noted.
| FAITHFUL WORKER REMEMBERED.
BY general consent OF the members OF
Columbus Lodge, A. o. u. W., the ses-
| sion the lodge held last evening was one
OF the most pleasant In It's history. The
chief feature of the evening was the
presentation to j. ii. Higgins Of a past
workman's badge that tine guests of the
lodge who had seen many such articles
before said was the handsomcst they
had ever looked upon.
The presentation speech was made by
j. j. Devenish, an officer of the Rhode
Islend and Massach chusetts decorations,
and one well familiar with the work of
brother Higgins for the lodge and the
| order. Ii was very pleasant and fstter-
ing IN tone, but al. who heard the speech
| said not one word too much had been
said in praise Of the work of this worthy
| workman. Mr.. Devenish also gave an
amusing instructive history Of the
founding OF the lodge on September 20,
1892, with 10 mem bers, and its h.aithy
growth until the present time, when it
| has mem bership OF so.
| Generally, past workman Higgins, has
words expressive and entertaining
enough Tor .he is accounted one of the
best takers in the lodge, but last mig bit
his words OF thanks came slowly, but
they were when spoken such as told how
highly he appreciated the gift. Among
the other speakers were Deputy Grand
Master McGee and Oserseer johnson,
who also had agreeable words to say
about the recipient OF the gift.
The badge has on one side Of the
center piece the embIems of the order,
an anchor and shield with the motto
and some finely colored jewei work,
while on the reverse side is the name of
the recipient, as we'll as the date OF the
| presentation. On the cross bar is the
name columbus" The presentation
was followed by a collation.. During the
meeting, Edward Gallagher was sd-
mitted to membership, and one PROPOSE
tion for mem bership was received.
NONE OF THE COFFEE WAS WASTED.
a horse attached TO a wagon owned by
| Goldsmith, a tea peddler, was left stand
ing.by its owner at the top of shawmut
street. hill last evening. II ran down tnat
| thoroughfare and.after colliding with an
| other peddler's team, distributed a large
amount of coffee and tea along the side
walk. Some OF the residents of the local
| ity hustled in lively shape for the coffee
| and tea, and but little OF il went to waste
| on the sidewalk. Goldsmith's horse was
badly cut about the legs and the driver
| OF the team with which ii collided was
thrown TO the ground, but escaped with
| a few bruises.
Considerable excitement was caused by
| the runaway Of another peddler's outfit
on Randall square about s p. m. The
driver was badly scared and did not have
nerve enough to pull on the reins and
stop his swift steed. When the horse had
| gone few hundred yards 1t stopped OF
| its own accord.
