Misfortune lay In the path Of two
Graniteville men yesterday afternoon
from the time they left this city until
they reached the quarry district. After
a day in the city, the two men started
out with buggy heavily laden for the
"hill" Matters ran along smoothly
enough until they reached the Quarry
street intersection made by the Barre &
Chelsea road. At this point, the pres
enee Of the Hill train descending from
the heights with a load of unfinished
granite. tended to complicate matters
decidedly. The horse grew restless and
in his attempt TO escape the on.rushing
locomotive, spilled the occupants Of the
buggy over a slight embankment Luck
ily the horse and team escaped damage,
although the men and the teams cargo
suffered somewhat from the spill After
righting themselves they resumed the
homeward journey, but upon reaching
Wards icehouses near Websterville, the
horse decided to make the trip alone and
after freeing himself from his compan-
ions without inficting any injuries upon
the latter the beast proceeded home,
