services in the churches had closed, horse
driven by Mrs. j. w. Ne7.ton belonging to
Mr.. John Rutherford took fright in front
of the First Presbyterian church. and ran
east on Frederick street to the new residence
Of Mr.. Richard II. Catlett, thence down
Coalter street toward the B. & o. depot.
When it reached the tracks OF the B. & O. it
ran into and upset the carriage of Mrs. Mar
garet Gay, which was going in the same di-,
rection, and whose driver, colored man,
had hot heard the approaching runaway.
The occupants of the carriage, Mrs. Gay
and her daughter, Miss Agatha Gay. and the
driver. were all thrown violently to the
ground and the occupants of the buggy were
also thrown out. The greatest fear was felt
for Mrs. Gay who is quite an aged lady, but
on the arrival Of a physician she was found
not to have suffered any fractures, but was
quite badly bruised. The shock was also
great. At last accounts all the persons in
volved were found not to be severely hurt.
The vehicles were rather badly wrecked
Mrs. Newton suffered a scalp wound and
was taken to the residence of Mr.. W. F.
Summerson, where she still is.

P,ttiless Death of a Little waif.

Preston Alinger and wife, childless
couple, living at Summerdean, this county,
were made the recipients of an unknown
infant last Tuesday morning. The child
was left near the front door in wooden
soap box by some unknown party. The
friendless little creature was undiscovered
and remained exposed to the broiling sun
all day and that night in the chill air, with
only light cloth to protect it. Cries from
the baby were heard during the time, but
the inmates of the house supposed the sounds
came from their neighDors and so paid no
attention to them. Next day it was discov-
cred dead, the result no doubt of starvation
and exposure. The child had just died
when discovered. There was evidence that
it had been sent from this city, and parties
In the neighborhood think they have clues
that will lead to the Identification of the
child and to the person who left it.

drove to Harrisonburg. Mr.. Brosius had
brother who, like himself, some years ago
was highly trusted engineer on the B. &

ended the trip he was then making. On

and the train ran away upsetting and kill

This so preyed on Franks mind that he soon
gave up his place.
