a CLOSE CALL.

There is a fiat wheel on the capitol
car, and there came near being some
kindling and "hoss" meat on tho
street Wednesday, had not Superin-
tendent Dan Slattery, who was run
ming the car, put the fiat side on the
wheel. You see, it was like this: :,
There probably IS no more familiar,
horse character in the city than "Olu
49," who pulls the Northern Express
wagon. When the deliveries are be-
ing made he strolls about the street
like a willie shooting snipes," and
relieves the Monotony of life by doing
as he pleases. He seems to consider
himself a privileged character, and it
is conceded that he is. But Old 49,
doesn't know anything about electric
cars, and cares less. On the ocasion
referred to, as the car was sailing
along on Main street, Old 40 decided
to cross the street and, as usual, took
his time to it. There was nothing
for Mr.. Slattery, who is an old-time
engineer, to do but to dynamite 'er,"
which, in engineers parlance, means
to apply the emergency brake. OF
course, he preferred this to scooping
the old-tiner, wagon and all. AS a re-
suit, the grind was pretty hard, the
wheel took the grit, and Old 40 was
saved.
