 Today while a wagon and team of horses, belonging to the Bessemer Bot ting works, were standing at the corner of Nineteenth street and Second avenue, the horses became frightened and ran away. They were fortunately stopped be- fore any damage was done greater than the demolishment of a number of bottles of soda water, which were on the wagon.
 While horse and dray, belonging to MT Martin, who lives in the country, were standing in the alley next to the dummy depot this afternoon, the dummy backed into them, smashing the dray badly. Fortunately the horse and driver were uninjured.

 The fact that the accident at Brighton last night when a Woodward ore train backed into the Bessemer dummy did not prove more serious is said to be due to the fact that the ore train struck the dummy train just between the cars This turned them over. The cause of the acci- dent is said to have been that the fire man of the dummy signalled the engineer that the track was clear and the engineer of the ore train thought the signal came from his fireman a mistake easily made in the darkness.
