As time rolls by and more work is done in the vicinity. more strikes are continually made Clune is down about 15 feet. and has passed through d number of rich pockets Everything is flourishing in that dis trict.
 The Dashaway stable hack met with a curious. and what could well have been fatal accident-tO the people in side the hack-last night at g o'clock While rounding a sharp turn in the road above Hull avenue, towards the works from Jennie Bauter's place. the tongue of the hack broke. and the team dashed around the turn and down over the grade, landing against a two-story building on the lower side of the road. One of the horses was killed almost in stantly, entailing a loss of about $50. The hack went over the grade and stopped with the front wheels abou: four feet directly below the hind wheels. There were four passengers. two men and two women. inside the hack when it took the plunge. besides Wm. Holiday, who was driving. Strange to say not one of the five was hurt Had the hack gone over the grade where there was no house to stop it's descent, it would have fallen and rolled hundreds of feet to the bottom of Bitter creek. The end of the tongue went through the side of the house. The dead animal was pulled ont. The other animal was not injured. The team only went 40 feet before piling over the grade after the tongue gave way. When the outfit hit the house. the people inside the house thought their time had come. IT would be hard to say which Set was scared the worse. the people in the hack O. those in tha house.
