loaded with flooring board last We'd
nesday afternoon and ran risk of CREST
personal injury by so doing. The team
was coming from towards the depot,
driven by son OF Henry Pussy, Of
Houston, Del. The wagon gained
momentum rapidly as it came down
the grade over the brick pavement,
and the boy was unable to check its
headway by pulling back on tile
horses. When Walnut street bridge
was reached the horses were running,
and a block further on boards were
flying from the load. It was at this
point that Daniel Still made a running
leap at the horses and managed to grub
the reins, and gradually pull the run
aways down to a standstill on North
Front street Failure to catch the reinr
or slip would have meant serious
accident to Mr.. Still It was a eouIa

large consignment OF KeifIers were carefully
handpicked and wrapped last Friday In the
regulation pear boxes at Dover. They were
sent on the way to New York, where they
we're placed in the cold storage room Of a
rapid passenger steamer for quick deliveryiin
London. Should the experiment prove a
success, the pears win be shipped abroad in
carload lots. The Keiifer is tough, health
ful and hard pear and it ought to carry al
most any distance and keep for a long time
II the experiment Of Mr.. Brown is successful,
it should mean a great deal for the fruit
growers. There are thousands OF baskets Of
Keiters this year, and the growers hardly
know what to do with them. They have
been looking for an open and desirable mar
ket, and perhaps thev have found it abroad.
Keifer pears selling at lew price are really
a paying crop for the formers.
