hoRsE KILLED IN A RUNAWAY.
Frightened Team Dashed Into n Bug
Ky on Bryan street.

~ on nFyuh street.
A runaway occurred on Bryan street,
near West Broad yesterday, in which a
horse belonging 10 Mr.. w. ]. b. Adams
was killed, buggy was torn to splinters
and a team of mules belonging TO Mr..
William Fogarty. attached to the wagon
that collide with the buggy. were badly
scared.
David Blake, colored. driver of the run
away team which collided with Mr. Al
ans buggy, was arrested by Officer Dan
Kney of Justice Wickhams court and
sent to the police barracks where he Will
be tried this morning for careless and
reckless driving.
Fortunately for the occupants of both
vehicles, they jumped and were not in
lured. The mules were pulling load Of
sewer pipe west on Bryan street Tom
King and Dave Blake, colored being IN
charge Near the market the team be-
came frightened at the big road roller,
which was steaming around in that o.
cality and started down the street at a
rapid rate The driver soon lost control
of them and they pitched on almost with
out resistance until they came to West
Broad street. by which time they had
gained dangerous Roadway. The rattling
sewer pipe caused the team TO accelerat lie
its speed at every jump.
Mr.. Adams was some distance from
West Broad driving east on Bryan street
and realized his imminent danger. The
street is very narrow and an attempt to
get clear of a. dashing team would be ex-
tremely perlous. Mr.. Adams, therefore,
jumped, as did the other man, who was
In the buggy with him. At this time the
two teams were nearly together. The
thrilling sight was made the more so
when the driver, Blake, who had lost his
reins, stepped out on the tongue of the
wagon to get them and fell to the ground
BY a singular bit of fortune the wagon
passed over without even scratching him.
BY the time he got up the two vehicles
clashed, producing an ENHANCEMENT which
il seemed most impossible 10 extricate
Mr.. Adams horse was thrown to the
ground and his leg was broken from the
effects of which the animal died. The bug
gy was torn up beyond recognition and
the mules piled on top of 1t. Sewer pipe
was scattered promiscuously about and the
general surroundings, including excited
people rushing to the scene, caused all
most a panic. Several went to the rescue
and aided in disontangling the wreck.
which required some time. Mr. Adams
buggy was taken to Kent's blacksmith
shop on West Broad street, but It can
not be repaired. The mules have not been
here very long and were easily frightened
Blake was bonded out of Jail and it is not
likely he will be dealt with very severely

FIFTEEN ROUNDS TO A DRAW.
COrcoran and Harm Put Up a Spirited
Contest.


Tom Corcoran of Savannah and Dave
Horn, the trainer of the Baltimore Base
Ball team, fought a fifteen round draw
before the East Side Athletic Club last
night The fight was at catch weights,
and, according to agreement, if both men
were on their feet at the end of the fif-
teenth round, the contest was to be de-
clared a draw.
Several hundred spectators saw the go
and the room in which the fight took
place was intentionally crowded. Nearly
all of the Baltimore players and some of
the Chicagos were there, and many of
the seamen from the British cruiser, Cor
della, We're spectators.
The men put up asgood, live contest
Corcoran's followers evidently thought the
Baltimore man would be an easy mark
for Tommy, and an offer to bet $25 that
Horn would not last the limit found no
takers.
Corcoran was the aggressor all through
the fight, and at no time did he make the
slightest effort to get away from Horn S
blows. Corcoran did not appear to be in
the condition he was several months ago
when he fought Duke, but he put up a
sharp fight. What punishment Horn gave
him was absolutely ineffective.
Horn did some clever fighting, but his
blows seemed to lack force. He handled
himself extremely well and got away from
Corcorans terrific uppercuts several
times in good style.
Corcoran drew blood from Horns nose
in the tenth round by a right hand jab.
The Savannah man probably landed Of
tener than Horn did though it would have
been a. hard matter TO have given de-
cision on points. Horn made a tricky
play in the fourteenth round when he
dropped unnecessarily, evidently in an en-
deavor to get the fight on a foul, and Cor
coran had all he could do to keep from
letting his left in.
Harrison and Hicks, two local boxers,
put up a rafting go-as-you-please bout
which lasted round and half. Harri-
son quit in the middle of the second round.
Two brothers named Russell, seamens pn
The Cordelia, gave a clever three round
exhibition.

Capt. c. E. Gllette's IDEAS Of the specif-

knees In answer TO a question from Col.
Barr the witness said abe mattress had
shrunk somewhat from exposure to the
air.
About fifteen minutes before the time for
adjournment Mai. r. A. Blandford Went
on the stand. Maj. Blandford stated he
had had thirty-three years experience as
an engineer.
Mai Blandford secured the specimens
of stone which were tested for specific
gravity by Mr.. B. +. Finney He said he
had taken them at random from different
jetties in the Savannah harbor, and on
these jctties he saw no stone as light as
that piece put in evidence by the prosecu-
ton.
Maj. Biandford was asked several other
questions by Mr.. Blair on this line, and
al the adjournment hour said the witness
would probably be on the stand for some
time. At 2:3O O'clock the court adjourned
until 1920 o'clock this morning.

TOOK the Second Game of the Series
From savannah.
Baltimore took the second game of the
series from Savannah yesterday on a
score of to 8. Both teams played a pretty
good game, but some Of the players ap-
peared to be listless, and the game drag
ged somewhat.
Hollowell pitched the first five innings
for Savannah He was hit freely, but con-
trolied the ball well, and did not give a
base on balls Nolan relieved Hollowell in
the sixth inning, and pitched good ball.
Chance, Chicago's new backstop, who
came from the California League, caught
a brilliant game for Savannah, and lis
throwing to bases was a feature of the
game. He caught Stencil, one of Balti-
more's best base stealers, at second He
also got single, and played a good game
all around.
Ballantyne apparently has his batting
eye with him this season. He got a single
and double O'Brien, for Baltimore, got
two two-base hits.
Kitson started in to pitch for Baltimore
and pitched a steady game for five innings
when he gave way to Pond. Bowerman did
the backstop work for The Orioles"
McGraw and Devenny had a hot passage
at words during the game, and came near
scrapping. Umpire Murray called a third
strike on McGraw, which the scrappy little
third-baseman thought was wrong. In go
ing TO his place on the field McGraw and
Devenny had some words and at the end
of the next inning renewed the discussion
Light blows were exchanged, but the play
ers were separated before any harm had
been done either man.
The following is the score by innings:
