Good-by. old horse. well turn you out
TO roam DER hill and plain;
We've bought horseless carriage ana
Wen never need YOU again;

Wen ride from morn TN dark,

Good boy. old horse, good boy.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
BRAVERY OF HACKMAN FRANK
SMITH SAVES A BAD ACCIDENT.
Frightened Team of Horses Plunge
Through Streets That Are
Crowded with People.

There was an exciting runaway on Vir-
ginia avenue last evening shortly before
o'clock, and but for the presence of mind
and heroic driving of Frank Smith there
might have been serious results. Smith
is a driver for the Frank Bird Transfer
Company, and ia his carriage were Ed
ward f. Kramer and wife, and Edward
Snyder, wife and child, who were being
driven home from funeral.
While going south on Pennsylvania
street. near Market street, the bolt hold
ing the right single-tree broke and the
single-tree fell on the horses feet soaring
the animal and causing the team to break
into run. The streets were crowded with
people and effort made at Wash
ington street to stop the maddened horses.
but they did not slacken their speed. The
driver lost control of the animals and as
they plunged down Virginia avenue at
breakneck speed, women and men on the
street turned and ran in the same drec-
ton, expecting to see the carriage wrecked
against one of the trolley poles as it swung
to and fro and several times grazed the
iron poles. Smith acted heroically, but as
the horses turned onA South Delaware
street bystanders exclaimed. they are
lost" for Smith had dropped one of his
lines. He retained his presence of mind,
however during the exciting and
pulled the team into the Pennsylvania
Railroad yards, throwing the horses TO the
ground by a clever pull on the single line.
They came to stop and the people
alighted from the carriage unhurt, but
badly frightened. Smiths hand torn
from the pulling of the horses on the lines.
Men and women rushed TO him to cOngrat-
ulate him on his bravery and remarkable
driving.

SAVED THE CHILD'S LIFE
BEN WAGNER RESCUED HIS NIECE
FROM AN AWFUL FATE.
Carried the Little Girl from n Burn
ing Building mt 0OS West
Michigan street.

Ella weschler, aged eight years, was
saved from being cremated alive last night
through the heroism of Ben Wagner, the
childs uncle. Wagner was badly burned
about the face and hands while rescuing
the child.
The little girl resided with her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. e. b. Wagner, at 90S
West Michigan street. and last evening she
went to her room quite early and retired
for the night. The family then went to a
neighbors house across the street to spend
the evening. leaving the little girl alone.
About 915 Ben Wagner looked toward the
home of his father and saw the house in
flames. He hurried to the burning build
ing and ran up the stairs to the little girls
room. The smoke had nearly suffocated
her and she had been unable to leave the
house when the fire was first discovered.
She had been awakened by the dense smoke
and heat, but her chances for escape had
been cut off by the flames, which seemed
to burst from every window in the house
directly after the fire was discovered. She
was afraid TO run down the stairs, as the
flames were leaping up the stairway. When
her uncle arrived he picked her up In his
arms. and, wrapping her with some clothes,
started down the stairs with her. He was
nearly blinded by the smoke and flames,
but managed to reach the street with the
child in his arms. She was not injured or
burned. but his face and hands were badly
burned
The other side of the house, occupied
by John Meikle, was also damaged The
total damage amounted to $500. The origin
OF the fire is unknown.

CITY ENGINEER CALLED
MIR. JEUP USED AS A WITNESS BY
ATTORNEY HARDING.
Proceedings of Council Investigation
Last Night a Quiet Affair and
Little Brought to Light.

The councilmanic investigation of the
Board of Public Safety was resumed last
night, but very little was brought to light
and after examining a few witnesses the
Council committee adjourned to proceed
with the investigation this evening when
Attorney Harding will have something new
to offer.
Last night City Engineer Jeup was placed
on the stand to tell about the embezzle-
ment of the city's funds by NJ. G.. Horna-
day. ex-chief clerk to the city engineer.
Attorney Harding desired to show to the
committee that the entire city administra-
ton was run on loose principles. City En-
gineer Jeup said as far as he could ascer-
tain Hornaday had embezzled about $1,000
from the city. He said Hornaday handled
funds paid into the city engineers office,
which had been custom of the office for
several years. No one had authorized
Hornaday to do this, the witness said, but
1t had been done by other chief clerks. Mr..
Jeup said two books containing stubs of
the fees handled by Hornaday had not been
examined and Attorney Harding asked the
witness to examine them and report to the
committee. City Engineer Jeup claimed he
was appointed by Mayor Taggart but the
appointment of his assistants and clerks
was made by the Board of Public Works
and he had not even recommended the
appointment of Hornaday.
Sergeant Leonard Crane was called to
the stand and told of his service in the
police department. He was discharged Dec.
10 on the charge of inefficency and for the
betterment of the department. He was also
charged with giving out information, thus
being guilty of conduct unbecoming an Of
fcer. He said he was tried, found not guilty
and reappointed. He said he a Re
publican and in answer to Deputy Attorney
Bells question said he contributed vol
unfairly to the Republican campaign fund.
Sergeant Giblin was placed on the stand
and asked about an order issued by Captain
Dawson. but the sergeant professed ignor-
ance of the order.
Ex-Patrolman Cox. who was looked upon
as star witness i'm the investigation, is
too sick to allow the attorneys TO take
his deposition.

SCOTCHMEN IN TROUBLE.
Two Real HighIanders i'm Row That
Resulted Badly for One.

Robert Campbell and John Spankin, two
Scotchmen clad in their native garb, who
have been in the city for the past few days
advertising a brand of cereal food became
engaged in a brawl with some young fell
lows on the Circle last night about Z
o'clock. Both men were under the infiu-
ence of liquor and were staggering on their
way to their hotel when they met a party
OF young fellows, who laughed i'm derision
at the peculiar dress of the Scotchmen
Spankin, the larger of the two, resented
the action of the men by slapping one of
the boys on the face. and was himself a
moment later laid PROSTATE on the pave
ment from a blow from one of the others
In falling on the pavement Spankin sus-
tanned a severe abrasion OF the scalp, which
bed profusely and rendered him uncon-
scious for some time. Campbell, seeing his
fellow-countryman in such a condition.
began making many threats for the splitting
of his comrades blood on the pavement.
He was unable to make the bystanders I'M
derstand his peculiar accent, and in broken
tones said they were in America and
should be treated as gentlemen. and as
Americans the crowd should live up to the
reputation of the country" Campbell in
sisted on remaining at the place for half
an hour and lighting the matter out and
possibly retrieving the lost honors.

Crowds Visit the Manual Training
High School.

Many students of the Manual Training
High School and their friends visited the
carnival yesterday, which was held in the
school building. During the afternoon and
late in the night throngs of visitors were
constantly going and coming. Inside the
building, visitor met with gor-
geous display of the national emblems en-
twined about the pillars, with an occasional
school pennant attached. No time from
the opening of the show till the end were
the large halls deserted. The crowd eX-
ceeded anything the committee had ex-
pected and the members of the commit
tee were going about the halls last night
ccngratulating one another. In the rooms
north and south of the entrance were ar
ranged booths for the sale of refreshments
and fancy articles and they did thriving
business during the day. "Hoboes Retreat"

TAGS THAT ARE STOLEN
The Cause of Much Complaint to the
Police.

On account of the order that all persons
found with vehicles not bearing a city
license tag should be arrested the Office of
the city controller has been besieged for
several days with persons desiring to Sc
cure licenses. The large number issued at
this time has been followed by a large
number of complaints being made to the
police of stolen tags. Superintendent Quig-
ley said last night that orders had been is
sued to the patrolmen to arrest every per-
son found with a stolen tag in his posses
sion and charge such person with receiving
stolen goods. Licenses are not transfer
able, except through the office of the con-
troller. and any license tag offered for sale
may be presumed to have been stolen.
Each patrolman has the number of every
tag stolen and reported, and have been in
structed to examine vehicles of all sorts in
the search for the missing ones. Persons
whose tags have been stolen are requested
to send their names and numbers to the
police department.
