RACED WITH A TRAIN.
A Teams Wild Dash Along Homes
dale Branch of D. e. H.-Thrilling
Escape from Destruction.

one of the widest and most thrilling
dashes of Il runaway team in Carbon
dale took place yesterday along the
Honesdale branch of the Delaware and
Hudson on Railroad street, the first
street beyond the tracks, from Wayne
street to Tenth avenue.
The horses frightened by the footing
of II locomotive whistle. flew into the
air and tore along, keeping close to the
railroad tracks, making IL mad race
with the flying train that BODIED de-
struction to them every instant until
they swerved and turned into Harlem
avenue, where exhausted, they We're
stopped by \. r. Jones, of The Satur-
day Review.
No damage resulted but the escape of
the horses from destruction was by
the narrowest margin. BY sheer good
luck the horses avoided the rushing
train, and made the most remarkable
turns in squeezing out of the narrow
places in which they We're placed two
or three times.
The>team belong to Merchant T. X.
SWingle, of Park street, and was driv
ELI by his son, Warrie Swingle. The
young man was delivering goods to a
y
road at Wayne street, just as train
on the Honesdale branch of the Della
ware & Hudson came laundering
along on its way to the city. The
gong-like whistle on the big "hog"
engine started the horses, young Swim
gle says, and they were off before
he had a chance to reach them. They
We're checked, however, by means of u
Ia,
carry. This was no restraint to them
in their fright and off they flew down
the road, their course parallelling the
tracks. The train of coal cars was
racing along, the team keeping pace
with them. The animals We're so mad
dened with fear that they We're likely
to turn at any time towards the train
For the greater part of the distance,
before they turned away from the
tracks, they We're within fifteen feet of
the cars, in a space WhSch allowed lit
tie room for swaying or sweving. In
one place they came within ten feet
of the cars. This was when. they made
q sharp turn to get into Harlem ave-
nue.. How they made this turn, with
out either damaging the wagon or
swinging against the train puzzles
those who watched the horses and eX-
pected every instant TO see "a collision
and the animals hurled or Knocked
to destruction. The successful turn at
Harlem avenue brought the team along
that roadway in an exhausted condi-
ton, and when patted and checked by
Mr.. Jones were easily managed
Those who witnessed the wild DASH
among them Mr.. Jones, We're given one
of those scenes which can be classed
as really thrilling
The episode came near to bringing
disaster to one person, Miss Jennie
Sloan, who just escaped being run
down at the turn at arlem nNnnue

WHO HAS WONP
A Drummer Wants to Know Who Is
Ahead on the Street Car Strike.


Ahead on the Street Car Strike.
SAY" said Il drummer at one of the
hotels yesterday, Il wish you would
help Il fellow out by telling him who is
ahead in this street car strike-the
company or the men. I'd like to know
who has been whipped When l was
here about two months ago, | made
bet with another drummer as to who
would win out, and expected to learn
the result on my next trip down this
way. But no one seems to know. |
guess it's like two prize fighters, who
stand up and chop at each other all
night Before the finish, both are 60
ing, but neither one knows who is
licked. The referee has to tell which
one is best man. / wish there was
referee in this case, so l could tell
whether I'm ahead of the game or the
other fellow pockets the money"
Everybody in the room looked wise,
but the first one to speak was a fat
newsboy, yelling "All about the big
strike in Boston,"

The Germs of La Grippe are Con-

No one can escape the La Grippe
germ because when an epidemic of the
disease is prevailing the air is laden
with 1t.
The reason that everyone does not
have the disease at the same time is
because the persons who are enjoying
perfect health are able to successfully
resist and throw off the infection,
while those, who for any reason are
not in the best of health, fall ready

Care of Cemetery Lots.

From the Press-American.
Oak Hill Cemetery Company has
adopted and urges it's lot owners to
assist in carrying out the perpetual
care system. The plan is for lot
owner to pays certain amount, more
or less as he may choose, to the Gene
terry Company. The latter issues a
bond duly signed by its officials, agree
ing TO care for the lot forever-The
amount paid determins the amount of
care given. Several lot owners have
availed themselves Of this arrange
ment and hold the company's bond for
the faithful performance of it's part of
the agreement. During the past week
Supt. j. L. Mabin and the writer have
each paid S25 for the perpetual care Of
their lots by the company. This plan
Is in operation in many OF the large
cemeteries and is pronounced success.
Unless lot owners can attend to the
care of their lots personally, the lots
will be better cared for and at less cost
by the perpetual care system than by
other means.
