WEDDING COACH
OVERTURNED
BY COLLISION

A runaway which resulted in the
destruction of wedding coach and
nearly upset the plans for a wedding
occurred about 10 o'clock this morn
ing at Hall avenue and State street.
Three coaches were coming down
Hall avenue from the home of the
bride, Miss Mary Petraska, sc Cath
crime street. When they reached the
corner of State street a trolley car
came along. The first two coaches
passed in front of the car and the
driver of the second coach waved to
the driver of the third not to pass in
front of the trolley. The driver of
the third coach did not heed the war
ming and drove ahead. His wagon
almost struck the car, the horses be-
came frightened and ran away.
When the frightened animals had
run for few yards they crashed in
to a coal wagon belonging to Patrick
Convery and driven by Fred Mum, of
Division street. Mr.. Mum said later
that one of the horses hitched to the
coach crashed into one of his horses
anu JuTeW ulIll w the SfOuIu, dlulOSl
causing his team to join in the run
away. His horse was but slightly in
jured
The runaway team then ran along

way team crashed into the brides
coach and was upset and badly dam
aged. In the coach when it upset
were Miss Annie Pascovitch, of Mary
street; Miss Mamie Bugause, of Eliz-
abeth avenue; John Kakamovitch, of
Hall avenue; and Burnett Sanuta, of
Catherine street. None of them was
injured and the party proceeded to
st. Stephens Polish R. c. church on
State street.
After the ceremony the party re-
turned to the hall at SO Catherine
street, where the wedding festivities
were being celebrated.
Charles Butvick, the bridegroom,
in conversation with a NEWS report
er, said that he was in the first coach
when the runaway team struck it. He
was badly frightened and says it is a
miracle that no one was killed.

ARE
NOW SAID TO
HAVE TRIANGLE.

A member of Washington Hose and
Chemical Company said this morning
that the old triangle which was
stolen from them several weeks ago is
now in the possession of the exempt
firemen and is in Jeppe Sondergaard s
cellar on State street.
The member interviewed this
morning said that they had followed
up all possible clues. They traced
the wagon in which the triangle was
taken away to the city hall park,
down Market street to State street
and up State street to the rear of
Mr.. Sondergaard's place.
Members of the Washingtons be-
lieved at first that the Lincolns had
the triangle, but they searched all
through the Lincoln's house and
found no trace of it. They also
searched the exempt firemens house
on Water street with the same re-
suit
"The exempts do not deny that
they have the relic," said the mem
Der interviewed this morning. "In
fact they talk of giving us a blow
out at our meeting Wednesday night,
as is the custom when one company
gets the triangle from another. We
are sure the exempts have it, and it
will appear in the parade Od IT,"

PeddIer's Place Is
Entered; Loss
Considerable.
in MARKET
ST. SALOON

Two more robberies were added to
this city's growing list yesterday,
when Raphael Levinson, Hall ave-
nue. peddler, was robbed, and the
saloon of Chris Olsen at 1S9 Market
street, near the copper works road,
was entered.
Levinson, who lives at 81 Hall ave-
nue., is a peddler and keeps his wa
gon in a shed back of his house. He
put it there as usual Saturday night
In it were many suits and trousers,
amounting to several hundred dollars
in value. When Levinson went to
the shed yesterday morning he found
that his wagon had been robbed and
goods to the value of s165 stolen.
Among the missing articles were fif-
teen mems suits and three dozen pairs
of trousers.
Levinson reported the robbery to
the police yesterday noon and De-
tective Sergeant Huff made an inves-
tigation and says that neither the
shed nor the wagon was locked, CIV
ing the thieves easy access to the
goods. The detective has a descrip-
tion of the goods and is working on
the case.
In Market Street Saloon.
Between o'clock and sunrise yes
terday morning thieves entered the
saloon of Chris Olsen at 1S9 Market
street, evidently with the intention of
robbing the safe. The safe was
opened and ransacked and the papers
scattered around the room. Finding
no money in the safe the thieves took
a bottle of brandy and two boxes of
cigars. They entered by means of a
back window.
Olsen told the police that several
hoboes have been acting suspiciously
around his place for several weeks.
He says they stay in the woods back
of the copper works and have a boat
near the veseline works. He thinks
they hail from Elizabeth. Late last
night Rnundsman Morris and Patol
men Hansen and A. Jensen searched
through the woods and Lyle cottages
on Market street, which are vacant
at present, but failed to find az of
the trahps.
