A WHEELWOMAN CHASED.
HISS WlRRISGTON,s ADVENTURE
WITH a

monument on her wheel on Saturday evening,
and at 1880 O'Clock started for her homo at 4o1
West Twenty-seoond street. She turned into
Eighth avenue at Fifty-ninth street, and was
going dow on the right side at q fair ratio OF
speed, when at Forty-sovonth street she heard q
horse Gathering behind her. She increased her
speed to get out Of the way, and, after going q
block, looked behind her and saw a light busi-
ness wagon following closely In tho roar. Her
account Of what then occurred 10 substantially
- follows
She heard tho driver urge his horse and she
took another squirt to leave tho horse at q dis
tance, but after going q short distance she no.
ticed that the horse was as speedy as she was
and that It kept close upon her. Sho thought
tho actions of tho driver were rather strange.
and decided TO leave the avenue. So when she
came to Forty-fourth street she turned toward
Broadway. In turning the corner she looked
over her shoulder and was surprised to see that
the wagon was swinging around still In pursuit
Of her. Tho driver was using his whip and tho
horse responded to tho flashing by breaking into
q gallop. 1t speedily gained upon her until but
o few yards separated them. She became thor
ough!y alarmed by this time. as 1t was evident
that the driver was bent upon running her down.
Miss Warrington screamed and rode her
wheel over to the left side OF the street to see II
tho driver would not pass her. but, instead of
doing 60. he also turned his horse to the left and
piled his whip on the animal. The horse, thus
urged, bounded forward and almost reached the
wheelwoman.
She folt the puffs from its nostrils upon her
neck. and the Gathering of the iron-shod hoofs
on tho smooth asphalt made her think she was
about to be trampled upon. Tho imminence OF
the danger nerved her, and she swung out of the
horses path over to the other side of the street.
She again screamed when she heard her pur-
surer cross tho street after her.
There were not many people on the street at
the time, and no one was able to give the wheel
woman any assistance. for both she and her pur-
Buer were making good time. The few specta-
tors simply stood on the sidewalk and gazed at
tho woman chase.
She went on now In q zigzag way, shouting for
help as she rode along with the wagon rafting
after her. Policeman Frank Kelly Of the West
Forty.seventh street station. who was at Broad
way, hearing the woman's screams, looked up
the street.
"Help! For Gods sake save me-" the woman
shouted as we'll as wheeling would allow her.
Kelly ran UP the street, and, when the horse
got up to him, jumped and caught the bride.
The animal was going OF q lively speed. and the
policeman was dragged from his feet, but he
