Conductor Parry Of the B. & NJ. Trac-

Washington street car, and Al. II. Ger
hardt, well known local granite buy
err, put themselves in line for recogni-
ton this forenoon when they abandoned
a northbound car below Wiley street.
and checked the progress of a frenzied
horse. Both the conductor and Mr. Ger
hardt apparently deserted the horse at
the same instant. The animal, attached
to small red pung, was driving traffic
of all kinds and pedestrians along North
Main street to the side lines as he came
racing down the highway. One or two
travellers narrowly escaped the animals
hoofs as he cavorted from one side OF
the street to the other. A short dis
lance below, a women and two children
were proceeding slowly toward the city
and the danger of collision was grow
ing alsrmingly grave when the conduc-
tor and his lone passenger leaped from
the car. Each made grab at the horses
bride as he swept past and by dint of
much exertion the horse was brought
to halt. The pung was somewhat
damaged by frequent contact with poles, |
but the horse escaped injury. A peddler |
from the house of Israel claimed the |
outfit just after the conductor had tied |
the horse to the Wiley street bridge.
