Since the order regarding whistling AT
the grade crossings In this city went into
effect on the Consolidated road there mas
been a succession OF runaways In the cen
ire OF the city; and while up To the pres
ent time none has proved especially setl-
Que. IL Is more a matter OF good luck
shan ANYTHING else. Horses have not
been used to hearing these whistles, ana
even II they had. II is hardly likely they
would ever outgrow their fear or such
noises In fact so much noise Is ire
ouentiy made right fH=the centre OF the
city when trains are passing each other
and switching engines are hurrying back
and forth over the crossings, that the
matter has become decided nuisance ana
one which the people believe must be
stopped.
The most recent OF the runaways re-
sulting from this noise occurred yesterday
afternoon. A horse attached TO a light
express wagon, the outfit belonging 10
Hiram 8. Johnson. was standing In front
OF the Public Market on Broad street.
Two trains passed each other not far
away, both whistling. and the animal
rave a leap. Someone tried 10 stop IT,.
but the horse was too badly frightened.
The street was quite crowded at that
hour, and teams were standing at either
grazed one or two of the lighter ones,
doing no great damage. and then hit a
heavy delivery team. The horse didn'
stop, but the harness gave way In sew
eral places.
The wagon was dragged just a little
further and, coming in collision with still
another carriage the remainder OF the
harness slipped of and the horse was
freed. He continued down Main street
ut terrific speed and the wonder is
that some OF the women or children who
were In the busy thoroughfare were not
tnjured. The animal was stopped near
Main street square.
