HORSE LODGED IN TREsTLE.
While Driver, Seeing Predicament, Bolted
Another WAY.

Frank Mcclure, who operates a livery
stable at upper Graniteville, was in the
city to-day investigating a runaway ac.
cident in which one of his best horses
became lodged in the Barre railroad tres
tie above Ayers street last evening and
was cxtricated with great difficulty He
says the horse was hired by an Italian
qnarryman, whose name he doesn't know
and the man hasn't shown mp yet.
The horse ran from South Main street
and at the Barre railroad crossing il
wheeled and started up the track to
the trestle which is 25 feet high over the
river. The horse negotiated the ties un-
til about half way across on the way
back to Graniteville when all four legs
went through the interstices and the
animal slumped down and couldn't move
one way or the other.
Meanwhile, the driver. shouting at the
top of his lungs, was trailing the horse,
until on reaching the railroad crossing
he saw that the horse had taken to the
trestle and he then legged it, for all
he was worth in another direction, being
last seen making tracks along Ayers
street. Attracted by his shouts and
by the noise of the animals founder
ing, many people were attracted to the
trestle.
After holding consultation, the vol
unteers set about the task of extricat-
ing the animal. First they got one leg
out and then another. after which they
proceeded to tie the two feet together.
When the other legs were hauled out and
tied together, the horse was skidded
down the track to firm ground.
1t was thought the animal had frac-
tured one or more legs and perhaps sus-
tanned internal injuries; but an exam,
ination failed to show any serious injury.
after which the horse was removed to
Pages stable to recuperate from its ex.
perienee.
The man who hired the horse yester-
day morning to drive to this city had
not shown up this morning at Granite
vile, according to Mr.. McGuire.

GASOLINE ODOR
FOILS FIRE PLOT
Saturated Tape Leads to a Bundle Of
Papers - Arrest Is
Made.

Providence, r. T., Feb 2.-Joseph
Goldstein, Al, proprietor of a shoe store
at Manton avenue, is held by the police
at the sixth station on a charge OF at
tempted arson. Goldstein's arrest fol-
lowed the discovery by the police early
Sunday of well-planned attempt to
burn the eight-tenement block in which
his store is situated. The odor of gaso-
line aroused some of the tenants on the
second floor and a search was made for
the source of the smell. The police were
called in when it was traced to the cell
lar, and only prompt action prevented
what would probably have been bad
fire, menacing the lives of 80 or more
people.
On stairway the police found light
ed candle standing on tape, which ran
down the cellar stairs and into the cellar
of the store occupied by Goldstein. The
tape was saturated with gasoline its
whole length and newspapers were also
wet with the inflammable liquid. In the
Goldstein cellar at the end of the tape
the police found two five-gallon pals of
gasoline Goldstein and his son were
called to the police station at $3.50
o'clock Sunday morning and the ques-
tioning of che police continued until
nearly noon. The son was then allowed
to go, but Goldstein, senior, was locked
up on a warrant and will be arraigned
in the sixth district court to-day.
