A DRIVERS
PLUCK AND NERVE.
How ]. B. 0leaver Averted a Destructive
Runaway.

Merchant J. b. Clesver ayerted de.
structive runaway yesterday afternoon
by an exhibition of rare pluck and nerve.
During the afternoon Mr. Cleaver as.
sumed temporary charge of his delivery
wagon for the purpose of bringing some
tables from St. PauPs NJ. E. church TO
his store on Mill street.
The tables were all that the wagon
would hold and Mr.. Cleaver in driving
was obliged to walk along side. All
went well until the d. L. & w. crossing
on Ferry street was reached when the
Jolting caused the tables to rattle, which
frightened the horses. The latter, which
are young and spirited animals, at once
began 10 run. Mr.. Cleaver held on To
the lines, but could only slightly check
the runaways. At the corner Of Lower
Mulberry and Ferry streets he stumbled
over the guard stone and fell fat upon
the ground. Determined if possible to
prevent destructive runaway be pluck.
lily held on to the lines as long as he
could and was dragged some distance
through the soft mud.
AS the lines flew out of his hand they
became entangled in the front wheel,
which had the effect Of drawing the
horses over on to the sidewalk near the
office of Justice Bare where the wagon
became locked in hitching post and
the horses were caught. Mr.. Cleaver
was very much soiled by the mud, but
with the exception of slight cut on the
face he escaped injury. One front wheel
of the delivery wagon was damaged.
