kick yesterday he has received in his
life. The alderman is having a house
built at Minooka and he wants it un-

scene of the new dwelling he decided
to return to his home. II occurred
that when his honor made this resolve
to return to his people that NJ +. Fla
herty, who is doing the plumbing work,
was also about to drive to the city.
He invited the alderman to accom-
pany him, which was readily accepted.
On the hill that leads from "Carr's
Patch" Mr.. Flaherty's horse was
seized with a queer notion and with
out any warning he sent his heels into
the air. One stroke, a heavy one, made
by the horse landed on the lower por-
tion of the alderman's left leg. The
blow made a deep cash near the ankle
and badly tore the flesh from the leg
and incidentally sent his honor to the
rear Of the wogan

called to attend the injured man. Mr..

A serious accident was narrowly
averted on North Ninth street yester-
day morning. The result was the
slight injury of Mrs. J. T. Beard, Of
523 Webster avenue, and Mrs. Margaret
Thomas, of School street, North
Scranton.
A wreck car on the Traction CONF
pany's West Linden street branch, with
two derrick cars attached, was ascend
ing the hill between Ninth and Chest
nut streets, when the power was cut
off and the motorman lost control of
the car.
1t started down the hill, with in
Creasing speed and when the curve
I'm front of the bridge over the railroad
tracks was reached, a Taylor car, in
charge Of Motorman Smith and Con-
ductor Lynch was encountered.
The motorman of the approaching
car reversed his motor and tried to
escape the runaway cars. but without
success. and collision occurred.
Mrs. Beard jumped to the ground
and sustained slight body bruises and
Mrs. Thomas followed and sprained
her ankle. The other passengers kept
their seats and were uninjured
The wreck car was derailed and the
Taylor cars fender and platform were
damaged. The injured women were
carried into a house nearby and a
physician summoned. Both were af-
forwards removed to their homes
Several exciting accidents of sim
liar nature have previously occurred

Mere than 800 bakers were present at
