The middle horse was got upon hts feet as quick

It was feared that he had been badly injured,
hut an examination showed that there wasn't
a scratch on him except that his mouth had
been slightly bruised by the bit when the rein
yanked his head In the air. As there was no
derrick on hand to lift the animal out OF the
hole his owner decided to leave him where he
was until the remaining part OF the building bad
been RACED.
The hole was boarded over and a temporary
stall was fitted up in the cellar. Hay and oats
in plenty were lowered down. and a man dele
gated to see that the big gray did not want for
ANYTHING. All the laborers at work on the
building were warned 10 be careful not to let
anything fall into the subterrancan stable. and
a piece of cloth was put over his back to keep
off the heavy dust.
Contractor Greene expects that George will be
released to-day. A ganGway Of planks will be
built at the Church street end Of the lot, and the
first horse to use 1t will be tho big gray.
