INDrANAPot1s, June 23.-Ex- President

ger of being crushed between an electric
car and wire on East Washington
street, and though the danger was over i'm
moment those who saw them run tho
perilous gautlet gazed upon the scene with
blanched faces and heaved a sigh of relief
when the pair were in safety
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison were in their
corriage, drewn by two spirited horses and
driven by their colored coachman They
tried 10 cross tho street, evidently not OBJ
serving an electric car that stood on the
west track few feet distant from an
electric polo.
Asthe driver turned on to the track the
horses became excited, and at the same
moment the gong Of another car sounded
few yards distant going east on the op
posite track. Tho Harrlsons' driver ovi-
IDENTIFY realized his perilous position and
suddenly turned the horses so that they
would pass hetween the pole and tho car,
though the space was so narrow that ii
seemed impossible 10 mako the passage
without striking one or the other. The
horses plunged forward, and by lucky
chance ran she narrow way without strik-
Ing either the polo Or the car.
Mr.. Harrison seemingly recognized the

back OF the scat in front of him and rose
partly from sitting posture. He did not
ovlnce any desire toiump from tho vehicle,
but was apparently prepared TO take the

while the horses were making the run he
looked forward as il ready at any moment
to render assistance in their management.
The street was crowded at the time,
and attention WAS at once directed 10 the
carriage by the action Of the horses, aud
when the occupants woro recognized there
was a cry of fear from persons on the side.
