His carriage met him at the station and they
started towards home, crossing the high bridge
over the railway tracks going in westerly oil
rection. The carriage had gotten over the
bridge and was descending the steep grade
when an automobile suddenly appeared. The
horse became much frightened, got beyond
control of the coachman and dashed down the
road at furious pace. The coachman, with
much presence of mind, seeing that he could
not stop the horse, turned him short into the
fence that guards the embankment. He
struck with such force that he broke entirely
loose from the wagon and was caught after
running some distance without doing any fur
ther damage. The dayton and harness were
much broken but strange to say the occupants
of the vehicle escaped without injury. They
were Mr.. Eusselbaugh and his daughter, Mr..
Morris Gent, of Cockeysville, and the driver.
Those who saw the accident thought 1T almost
miracle that some of the occupants of the day
ton were not either killed or seriously injured.
After the accident MI. Fusselbaugh remonstra-
ted with the man who was driving the automo-
bile and asked him why he did not stop when
he saw the horse was so badly frightened. He
replied that his machine was not in order and
if he had stopped on the steep grade he could
not have started again.
People are beginning to think that some
thing should be done to regulate the speed OF
automobiles on the public roads. During the
summer months there is great deal of driv-
ing at almost all hours of the day in this Sec
ton of the county and ladies and children are
frequently out alone with spirited horses, max
ing the risk of accidents decidedly hazardous.
In short time three accidents have happened
near this place, one of them serious, and these
machines have to be blamed for all of them.
Unless something is done to check the appar-
ent recklessness of drivers of automobiles
there is no telling what may yet happen. The
use of horses for pleasure driving will have to
be abandoned entirely.
