HORSE ALMOST
INTO WATER
Ran Down Smith Street and
Crashed Through Fence al
The Ferry.
SCATTERED GROCERIES ON ST.

A horse attached to wagon be-
longing to Greenspan Brothers, pro-
prietors of grocery store and
butcher shop at 219 and 242 Smith
street, respectively, made an exciting
dash down Smith street at noon today
and succeeded in demolishing part
of the fence and signboard at the
Staten Island ferry.
The horse became frightened on
State street and, as the driver was
not in the wagon at the time, 1t made
a break toward Smith street. The
steed turned the corner and ran down
Smith street at breakneck speed. Sew
era1 pedestrians had narrow escapes
from being run over, and eggs, sugar
and other groceries flew from the
rear Of the wagon. The horse did
not slacken any when the hill was
reached and, in an instant, demol-
ished the fence.
In spite of the blow, the horse,
pulling the wagon after 1t, ran out
on the bridge at the ferry slip and,
had 1t not fallen, would have gone
overheard. The wagon rolled on the
horse so that the animal was pinion-
ed until assistance arrived.

Request Of City Council.
HEARING THIS AFTERNOON
City Attorney Hommam and Mayor
Bollschweiler to Be Present at As
sembly Hearing at Trenton at 3
O'clock-Gives City Power to APP
proprtate What 1t Deems Sufficient
Too Much Under Present Law.

City Attorney Hommann and
Mayor Bollschweiler left this after
noon for Trenton, in order to be
present at the hearing on the library
appropriation bill, which Is pending,
before the house, at o'clock this
afternoon.
AS has already been told in the
NEWS, the bill which was introduced
by Assemblyman Ramsay at the re-
quest of the local Board Of Alder
men, provides that governing bodies
in all cities may make such appro-
priations or library purposes as they
deem necessary and need not ap-
propriate one-fifth of one mill on
each dollar of the total assessed calu-
alton, as the present law requires.
The local library board is opposed
to the passage of the bill, although
the members are reticent about their
plans President Kitchel, this morn
ing, said that the board would fight
the bill, and he did not think It
would ever become a law. DR.. Kit
chel would not say just what meth
ods would be used with the excep-
tion of the fact that documents would
be submitted.
Lawyer John w. Beekman, a
member and counsel for the board,
would not talk for publication this
morning and said that he would not
represent the board at the hearing
this afternoon. Mr.. Beekman is also
of the opinion that the bill will never
be passed.
