MiIkmau'S Horse In
Wild Runaway.

The quick action of Earle 4. Pierce,
an employee of the Eaton shoe fac
tory in grabbing the dragging reins
attached to a driverless horse that
was dashing along Gage street at
break-neck speed, Wednesday morn
ing. stopped what was undoubtedly
one of the widest runaways that Au-
gusta has had fore a long time. Mr.
Pierce was on his way to work at the
factory, when he made the stop,
which was conceded by eye witness
es as being a very heroic act, and al
though he escaped without bruises
he was thrown against the sleigh with
considerable force before he could
bring the frightened animal to a
StandStill.
The horse is the property of Irving
Arnold, a milkman. who left the ami
NAL in charge of Ralph Thorndike, a
young boy, while he went into house
on jackson street to deliver milk.
The horse became frightened at some
object, unseen by the Thorndike boy.
who was sitting in the pung, and
started down Jackson street toward
Capital street. In turning from Jack
son street onto Capital street, the pung
was upturned throwing the young
Thorndike boy to the ground. and
splitting many of the milk cans and
bottles into the street. The horse
pursued his journey on down Capital
street to Gage street, where he was
stopped by Mr.. Pierce. near the resi-
dence of Claude w. Townsend. The
pung righted itself after the horse
had gone only a short distance down
Capital street after making the turn
at Jackson street.
The Thorndike boy was shaken up
considerably by his fall from tho
sleigh, but received no bruises. Re-
sides the breaking of several milk
bottlees, and spillins several gallons
of milk. no further damage was done
To the team.

AuguStan Invents
Electric Trolley.

Julian Wilder of this city has invent
ed an electric trolley, which is now in
use as an experiment on Car 10. which
runs from Gardiner to Togus, The new
trolley, which the Augusta man in
vented, stands the test very well, and
1t is doing all that is required in re-
cara TO adaptability. wearing evenly.
etc. The conductor, who has been in
charge of the car, on which the newly
invented trolley has been used. states
That it has not jumped the Wire. since
IL was put on, several days ago.
The feature OF Mr.. Wilder's inven-
ton, fer which he has applied for a
patent, is that it has floating axle
instead of a fixed axle, like the troll
leys Which are now being used all over
the United states. This floating axle
makes the trolley especially valuable
FOR cars, which have to be run around
sharp, curves. The floating axle allows
the trolley to follow the wire. no mat
ter now sharp the curve may be.
The chief aim of the inventor in
manufacturing the new trolley, is to
eliminate the consequent wear on tho
wheel, due to the skidding. jumping
and dragging of the trolley on the wire
1T is also hoped that the new trolley
VIII follow the wire so closely, that il
VIII do away largely with the wear of
trolley wires, Which are very expen-
slve. 1t is not generally understood
thta the life of trolley wheel is very
short and that the very best of troll
leys will wear out in anywhere from a
week to a month. The wear and tear
of the wheel is especially Noticeable
on trolley line, where high power and
speed is used. Trolleys often obtain a
velocity Of between 5000 and 1000 rev.
oiutions a minute.
