A IN THE TUNNEL.

Horses Met and One Wagon Was
Smashed.
Not long ago Richard Hillman
came near having a collision with an
auto at the entrance of the Hole in
the Wall. Since that time Mr.. Hill
man has been very careful before en-
tering the tunnel. Tuesday as he was
about to enter again he took a care
full survey. and finding everything
satisfactory, proceeded. When about
half way through he discovered a
horse and buggy in which there was
a man. Tho horse was uncomfortable
and running at full speed. Now Two
locomotives could pass on a single
track about as well as two vehicles
could pass in the tunnel unless they
met at the siding. Mr., Hillman had
not got past the turnout when the
collision occurred, demolishing the
buggy but not injuring Mr.. Hillman,
his horse or wagon. He Immediately
drove on throughsthe tunnel, secured
his horse and returned to the scene
of the accident in order to render as
%sistance to his fellow-man who had
met with misfortune. When he re-
turned he found only the buggy, the
horse having eXtricated himself and
was making good time for Perth
Amboy. The man was making the
best time he could in bringing up in
the rea Hillman could not see why
the man should be sprinting so lively
in the zeal of the horse as there was
no likelihood of overtaking him. 1t
does seem strange that when a horse
runs away in about eight cases out OF
ten his driver will lost his presence
of mind to such an extent as to run
after him, when If one would stop for
q minute he would realize the foolish
ness of running after a horse when he
is running away. We are fearful OF
some accident at the tunnel before
the p. r. r. company has it widened.
