1.-The total expenditures to June

has never been exercised, and doubtless,
never will be, rs the pier has not suiii-
Gent strength to support TIE weight OF

Thrilling Experience of August Eerschke
on the Causeway Wednesday Night.
August Ferschko longs to meet in
daylight driver who ran him down on
the causeway last night week and gave
him the most thrilling experience of his
life. Mr.. Ferschks was driving towards
this city in his roadcart, having bee
to Elkton. As he drew near town he
saw a double team coming from the
direction of town and on the wrong
side of the road.
He pulled close to the edge of the
causeway TO allow the team to go by,
but the driver drove pellmell'into the
road cart, and over went Mr.. FUrschke,
roadcart and horse into the ditch. This
incident seemed to have no particular
effect upou the unknown driver, who
continued on his way as If nothing had
happened, while mir. Ferschke lay on
the ground pinned down by the weight
of the cart which rested upon his chest.
His horse lay on its back.
Unable to extricnle himself from the
vehicle Mr.. FerschKe cried for help,
which came in tina shape OF two persons
from the neighborhood. They dragged
the cart from him, allowing him to re-
gain his feet. Tine horse was also gotten
IN. Strangely enough, Mr. Ferschke
! had sustained no fractures, although he
was severely bruised, and his rig was
rot damaged 80 much as to prevent his
| driving home.
