HER CARRIAGE DEMOLISHED

A serious accident in which Mrs. R. IT. Pearson was severely injured and Mrs James Bowron and Mrs. John c. Henley were badly shaken up, happened in North Twenty-first street about 130 o'clock yester- day afternoon, the carriage in which they were riding being run into by a team of runaway horses Mrs. Pearson suffered a fracture of the left limb and the other ladies, while not seriously injured, were thrown from the carriage and were more less bruised.
 The three ladies were returning from a luncheon at the residence of Mrs. Robert Jemison, corner of Sixth avenue and Twen- ty-first street, and were in Mrs Pearsons Victoria, which was being driven by ne- gro boy
 As the carriage reached the mouth of Third alley, just opposite the county court house. a pair of infuriated horses dashed out of the alley, and in their mad career plunged into the carriage striking 1t mid way with their hoofs. The force of the blow shattered the running board of the vehicle and crushed the wheels, causing the carriage to overturn and preciptate the occupants to the ground. In falling
 
 meath the step and was broken just above the ankle, the bone protruding through the flesh and stocking. The other ladies were thrown to the ground, as was also the driver The horses attached to Mrs. Pear sons carriage took fright at the accident and succeeded in breaking loose from the vehicle and followed the other animals up the street, although the driver held to his reigns until they got away from him.
 A crowd quickly gathered and gave every assistance possible to the ladies, who were terribly unnerved from fright.
 As soon as the seriousness of Mrs. Pear sons injuries were acertained an ambulance was called and she was sent to her home on the South Highlands, where she was at tended by Drs Hefin, Wilson<and Sexton, The other ladies were taken in charge by friends and sent to their respective homes. Mrs Pearson's limb was set, and at a late hour last night she was resting quietly.
 The horses which ran into Mrs. Pearson's carriage were attached to a light buggy driven by a negro, and became frightened in Nineteenth street and started to run as the driver swung them into Third alley.
 There were a number of vehicles stand ing in the alley, but the driver carefully guided the team past them all, tugging at the reins in an effort to check them, but to no avail The maddened animals ran into Twentieth street at breakneck speed, crossing over into Third alley east. As they neared Twenty-first street the buggy struck telegraph post and was shattered into an hundred pieces, the nerVy negro being thrown with considerable force to the stone pavement, but chung to the reins. The force of the collision freed the horses from the buggy and they continued eastward running into Mrs. Pearsons carriage at the mouth of the alley, with results above stated.
 A number of persons who saw the run- away commend the efforts of the driver to. check his horses and his bravery in clinging to them at the risck of his own life.
