TWO D&NUKHOUS KUNAWAY&
A Filfbtened Herse Dnibcs Wildly Throegb
tbe Streets-Twe tart lee Injured,
The herses had another busy day en Sat
urday and in tbe ntternoen there were two
serious runaways, In which several persona
were Injured and quite a number made
narrow escapes from being kllled.
Between 4 and G o'clock Aaren KantT
man, a beraa dealer of this city, left bis
berse, which was bl&hed te a top buggy,
standing en the Orange street side et
Sbeber's hotel. Tbe animal waa tied te a
pest and he became frightened atadcg,
that ran under blm. He pulled back and
tore tbe bridle. He started efl and ran en
the pavement between the light pole and
Gansman's store. When KauHman saw
that bis berse was loose be ran and eaaght
blm by tbe nose and head. He plneklly
held en and was partially dragged until tbe
horse reached the Grape hotel, whero he was
compelled te leave go, after receiving an
ugly cut In the faee. The horse continued
te Centre Square, where he turned and ran
down West King street At Prince be
turned te run north. The buggy struck
against one of the Urge awning pests, In
front et Jehn E. Weaver grocery store,
breaking it cfl". On the' pavement en the
west side of tbe street, with tbe buggy still
fastened teblui, the berse continued te run.
At Grant street tbe veblole hit a lamp pest,
breaking tbe line lamp te atoms, a wheel
came efl at this point. The herse
kept tbe pavement te Orange street
where be turned and ran Inte Water at'reet
Just below Orange there waa a large lime
box standing, and the horse tried te paaa
between this and the telegraph pole. He
was unable te de se and waa caught
The buggy could net have been a mere
complete wreck If a man, with an axe, bad
been at work ec It The wheels, top, body
aud shafts, were all broken, and many of
tbe irons were bent clean out of shape. The
berse, strange te say, was net Injured.
When tbls runaway occurred tbe streets
were orewded with people and the escape
of Berne from being run ever was almeat
miraculous. When the horse ran up Prince
atreet there was quite a number of children
playing en tbe pavement All of tbem
managed te get out of tbe way of danger
and none were burl. At different points
men tried te atop tbe frlgbtaned animal,
but none were as successful as the lime
box.
ANOTHER ON TUK NEW HOLLAND I'IKK.
Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Israel Mearlg, of
Mechaulcsburg, and a alxteen-year-eld
daughter started te drive te tbls city. Just

whieh Is tbe fastest train en the read, came
dashing sleng, eastward bound. The
horse, which tbe ladles were driv
ing, became terribly frightened, and
reared up In the nlr, upsetting tbe buggy.
The ladles were dragged for ever 30 feet
under tbe vehicle, when both shafts were
broken and the harness was tern. The an
imal bocame Ioero and ran for about two
squares, when he was captured by some
farmers who were en tbelr way borne lrem
tbe city. Mrs. Mearlg was badly cut about
tbe face, and she, as well a her companion,
waa ether wise bruised. Beth were covered
with mud from head te feet, and It would
have been difficult for tbelr nearest friends
te recognize them. They were taken te
their home by persons who resided In their
neighborhood. 'The accident occurred
about 3.0'cleck, and tbe train came se fast
that the ladles did net see It until they
were almeat under tbe bridge. The noise
made by It was sudlelent te frighten almost
any herse In the position of this one.

Fkllew Citizkns : Having been oalled
te the chief magistracy by tbe autfrages of
my fellow citizens, In accordance with the

the duties of the olllee. With only a limi

will ondcaver te Ue a brief outline of the
polleymnd prlnolples which, as It occurs te
me, should govern my executive and ad

1887, our city ranks ns n city or tbe tiltn
class, having a population bstween 20,100
and -15,000. This law, whieh la practically

VINANCI3.
Frem tbe last annual report made te
your hnnorable bodies by the retiring chief
magistrate en January 1, 1&3S, aa called for
under the actor May 21, 1887, it appears
that the financial condition of our city Is
enceiirHglng, exhibiting the gratifying fact
that 3Q,0C0 of a reduction nt Its indebted
ness wax made from June 1, 1887, te Janu
ary 1, 1838
Anether proof of the exoellent financial
reputation of our city Is tint fact that the
lean Isaued January 2, 1857, for (123,000,
was taken at four per ceut and aggregate
premiums of t3,315 00 paid for at that rate.
The great luiportance et geed municipal
credit la fully recegulzed by me, and dur
ing my term otefnen I shall at all tlmta
sedulously guard against any attempt te
Impair the credit of the elty, as well bh
against Improvident oxpeuuuure et money
raised by luxatien.
WATJ:U AND HKWKKAdi:,
Thnlmportatice of the water btipply of
our city onriet be overestimated. We liave
reaven te congratulate ouiaelven that tbe
new water works In course of erection arn
constructed upon a liberal plan and will
wbbn completed furnish an abundant sup
ply of water; but councils In the uur
luture will have te take sucti action as will
give additional storage capacity, whieh the
health of our citizens and tbe growth et our
city seems te demand. With this want pro
vided ter, and possibly seme provlslensfor
Its purification by filtering, the question et
water supply would ba satisfactorily settled
for years te ceme. And It would be a de
cided advantage te us, In presenting our
claims and Inducements for manufacturers
te locate la our midst
Next te a pure and abundant water sup
ply there Is nothing mera Important te tne
Health of our people than geed sewerage,
and 1 belleve the time has come when an
adequate and sanitary sowerage system
should be adopted, The presrnt system
has grown by piecemeal and without any
general plan, and will ultimately prove its
Inefficiency. Te tbls queatlen councils
should give their early consideration.
HTiiui:m
Any and all measures looking te the lm lm
preiement pi our strema will bave my
nearly co-operation, se far as my official
poxltlen will warrant Wu may reasonably
hoe that with the aid of tbe machinery
the city has procured (steam read roller
and aione' crusher) our streets will be
greatly improved. Care should be taken
that nie'iey appropriated for tbls purpose
aheuld be distributed se as te give eveiy
section of our elty Its equal shsre of the
work dour,
