excitement and caused more or less
damage along Tenth street between
Shipley and Tatnsll. 1t was standing

No. 105 West Tenth street, and the
horse was so annoyed by the flies and
heat that 1t was almost maddened.
AS the horse dashed down Tenth
street people began to scatter in all
directions. In its mad flight the horse
broke in the cellar door OF George
Robinson's store and colided with the
awning pole in front of B. A. Haines'
cigar store. j. W. Berry, an old man
who was sitting in front of store, was
knocked down, but not seriously hurt.
At Tenth and Tatnall streets, the horse
fell, cutting its legs and while down
was quickly subdued. The shafts OF
the wagon were broken and the tire

we're not of sufficient proportions and
the necessary additions are to be made
before the cold weather begins.

The suggestion has been made that
voters of the Fourth. Fifth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth wards hold Il public mass
meeting next week for the purpose of
discussing the necessity for electing
to select and common council represen-
tative men who will creditably repre-
sent West Scranton in those city legis-
lative bodies.
Men of known stability and business
acumen, who are above reproach, are
wanted as counclmen. at this time
more than ever before, and it is the
concensus of opinion that if Il meeting
was called and the facts presented to
the voters by able speakers the result
will be beneficial to West Scranton and
the city at large.
The board of trade will be asked to
take charge of the meeting and ar
range the details. and in view of the
fact that their regular meeting occurs
next Tuesday evening. it has been sug-
gested that the session be made d pub
lie affair, and that the meeting be
held in st. David's OF Mears' hall. 1t
is to be non bipartisan and purely in the
interest of clean politics.
