LOAD OF HAY
Unusual Spectacle Witnessed
by Chestnut-Hill Resi-
dents Yesterday.

A spectacular, unusual, and dangerous
fire with some humorous aspects startled
the tranquility OF Chestnut Hill about
o'clock yesterday. a colored man was
coming toward Richmond on a load of
hay drawn by mule. The outfit was
slunbrous one. The driver was stretched
luxuriously on the soft and fragrant car
go and the mule was ploddins at leisure,
apparently taking short maps between
steps.
a number CT children were playing
along the road. One Of them had matches,
and the opportunity to do mischief and
cause excitement was too strong. A
lighted match was applied to the hay.
There was quick rush and crackle OF
red fame, a cloud Of smoke, and sud
den and general waking up. The driver
rolled off the Wagon with his clothes afire
The mule took one startled look to the
rear and began to do business. He was
the first mule to haul solid load of fire
through Chestnut Hill. AS he ran the
flames streamed far out behind, occasion
ally swaying in his direction and melting
him to new speed. BY a series of frantic
plunges and Kicks he freed himself before
he had been scorched or had drawn his
dangerous attachment against anybody's
house. The wagon was left in a field by
the roadside and peacefully burned and
fell into heap of scorched scrap iron
and ashes. Mule and driver escaped un-
injured in person bit badly demoraIized
and agitated in their feelings.
