W. j. Noble, of Birmingham, took a
day off on Saturday to view the sights
about Philadelphia. He felt safe in hav-
ing return ticket, but that was just
where he made a miscalculation. The
ticket was all right on the train, but there
was no provision for stopover privileges
in Camden. 1t was after midnight when
he left the ferryboat with other belated
passengers, and going straight ahead,
soon found himself on the outside of the
station. When he got his bearings he
made an effort to go for his train without
depositing an additional ferry ticket He
became indignant and declared that he
did not wish to cross the river, but to 90
on the train and exhibited his ticket. The
collector would not allow him to pass.
and when he saw his train pulling out of
the depot he got angry, and the result of
the argument was the calling of Police
man Hartman, who sent the man from
Birmingham and his ticket to the CITY
Hall.
When coming down High street yester-
day afternoon, DR.. Richard Fl. Parsons
horse SHE'D at trolley car and the sudden
movement caused some of the harness to
break. This allowed the carriage to run
on to the horses heels and there was NO
chance to hold the animal, hence there
was runaway. In front of Johnson s
barber shop there was buggy. Into this
the frightened animal dashed, but the
other team got out of the way without
damage, and the doctors horse kept on
going. After crossing the car tracks and
turning into White street the carriage col
lided with post and threw the horse.
Albert Stevens, who was driving, jumped
out but the horse was on its feet and
started again, loosed from the carriage.
Stevens caught the animal and the run
away was over. When the carriage struck
the post DR.. Parsons shot out on the
pavement, the carriage falling over him
but fortunately not striking him. He
was found to be suffering with a cut
on his ear, and his left elbow was badly
bruised. AS the doctors left hand is his
business hand, he is much Inconvenience.
The horse was scratched some. The
animal had been driven about 25 miles
within four hours of the runaway, but
nobody who saw the running would have
thought the horse had been out of tn.
stable very long.
