Disastrous Accident at a Fun

A HORSEMOMESUNRULY
Mr. 1. J rerun on Hustons to the Scene
of Trouble ntul Mken fli.lt.tut ltesciie
The lUcottry Ho Made After thn Dimmer
lllltl 1'UMCtl.
Mr. P. J. FergURon, of Shenandoah,
figured prominently In a very thrilling
and romantic event while attending a
funeral at Mahnnoy City, yesterday. Ho
performed an act which won the applause
of all that witnessed and experienced one
of tho greatest yet most ngrceablo sur.
prises of his life. Tho thrilling scene of a
hero jilmplug into the sen and rescuing
a woman from the pitiless breakers so
frequently Introduced in dramas by com
panies which visit this region is hence
forth an insignificant picture of true hero
ism and must give way to tho piece of
realism enacted upon a street of Malm.
noy City, yesterday.
Tho story Is this: A funeral was on its
way to one of tho cemeteries and in tho
lino of carriages was one occupied by Mr.
Ferguson and his friend, J. U. Coyle, Esq.,
also of Shenandoah.
Aa the road at the foot of the mountain
upon which tho cemetery is located was
reached Mr. Coyle observed that a horse
in tho ndvanced part of the lino was try
ing to get away, it nrauceu mauiy uacu
wards and cries of alarm aroso from all
Dart, of the line of carriages, as it was
seen that the occupants of the carriage
drawn by tuo unmanageable norso were an
elderly gentlemen and a handsome young
lady and that they were in great danger.
"Good gracious!" exclaimed Lawyer
lyoyin, "tuat young lauy may bo Killed i i
wonder who she is."
'Hold the lines I" shouted Mr. Fermi
son, as he turned the caro of his Lam-
ngnter over to tue lawyer, sprang irom
is carriage anu with the lleetness ot a
deer ran to the scene of trouble.
Un to this time few peoolo in the line.
Mr. Fercuson especially, seemed to know
who the couple in danger were, but that
"cut no ice" with the sandy-haired capi
talist ui fsueunimouu aim in uu w
diminished the sueed of his flight.
Meanwhile the unruly horse had
plunged backwards upon its haunches
and in its desperate efforts to regain its
feet threatened to upset the carriage and
hurl tho occupants to tho ground. Mr.
Ferguson sprang to the sido of the car
riage and in an instant nau the young
lady out or the vehicle and away from
"the maddening crowd," as a popular
novelist put It. The young lady's escort
also escapeu saioiy irom tue carriago just
as the horse fell over unon its side, when
run. uoyie sprang upon tue ammars
neck and held it down until assistance
arrived.
The romantic and sumrisinir feature of
the ease conies in the part where Mr. Fer-
gUBon discovered in making the rescue
that tho young lady who had been in such
great danger was none otner tnan .n
Dillon, of Mahanoy City, who, rumor has
it, is to become airs, l: j. ierguson, anu
her escort was her father.
When nnnroached on the subiect to-dav
Mr. Ferguson very modestly declined to
talk, but llnally admitted that he had
seen a thrllllug occurrence at Mahanoy
uity yesteruay.
