Scour and Clean with VThe Modern - OH AM STRUCK; BY Driver's Uicjterltiice at Stmt Crossing:. the Lloyd ESCAPED DEATH WITH HIS HORSES OMgtit IB a Trap ay M Saglne following Close Upon a .Fftlgut Traln--The Wagon Was Wrecked and the DrWef Injured. There was an acolfmt at the Lloyd street crossing of the Lehigh Valley railroad this morning by which a man had an almost miraculous escape from death and A. I'. Tubor, the Chief Burgess-elect, came near suffering considerable financial loss. At about live o'cleek George Zumudin, a driver employed by 'Tabor, went to the stable in the First ward and was soon on his way up town with the team to begin the day Vl work. When he haa driven as far as toe railroad crossing on Jaioyd street his progress was stopped by the nforaaeb. of a west-bound freight train. Justipt of Lloyd street the rail road tracks make ft sharp turn from a northerly to a northeasterly direction and one standing on the eastern side of the oroMlng ilble to see but a short distance along the tmbfcs. The driver watted patiently until thft JMt car of the freight train bad passed and then whipped up his horses for a dash oijkr the crossing and to make up for the delay that had been caused. Just as the team gat in tho center of the crossing the driver Tiis warned that he was in danger by several shrill blasts of a loco motive whistle. Looking to the right, Zumudin saw an engine but n few yards distant and running tewards the crossing at a pretty fast speed. It ytas impossible to make a safe turn upon thef ,roslug, aud, as the only chance of oscapevfjie driver applied the laab to the team wltu all the power and rapidity ho oould of&rmand. Just as the horses cleared tho drawing the engine struck the wagon near the rear end aud knocked it over on one side, cleat of the track. As the wagon toppled the driver went flying through tho air and fell heavily! upon the ground sev eral feet distant. As the wagon was knocked over it pulled down one of the horses and the harm 88 held the other and prevented It from running away. An inspection after the ac cident showed that the driver had sustained severe bruises on the head and leg, but was not seriously Injured. The wagon was badly damaged, but the horaeiescaped injury. The engine that struck the wagon was a tail ender following the freight train. They frequently run a stiort distance beliiud tho trains on down grade, LICENSE COURT.

The five Great llowlng Universities May Meet In Aqaatle Contests. Ithaca, N.' T., Feb. 18. Dy a unani mous voto yestprdoy afternoon the athletic council of Cornell unlvomlty agreed to allow Yale to enter Cornell's race with Harvard. By so doing Cor nell makes possible one of the great est aquatic events that could he ar ranged, a race between the five great rowing1 universities of the country Cornell, Harvard, Columbia, Univer sity of Pennsylvania and Tale. The action taken waa the outcome of a telegram received by the Cornell men from Harvard asking that Tale might be admitted aa a competitor. In re turn for this concession on the part of Cornell, Cornell asks that Columbia and Pennsylvania be also admitted, and It Is altogether likely, in view of the sportsmanlike manner In which the Cornelllans have answered Ilur- yard's request, that the qulntrangular 1 race can be arranged. j Commodore Mordock was seen im-1 mediately after the meeting. He nald: "We have taken this action because we 1 thought It most sportsmanlike. We have done, we think, all that could be , asked of us, and now stand back and await Harvard's and Tale's reply, with ! the wish that they Join with us In the five cornered contest." Captain Splllman, In answer to the question as to whether Cornell would row other races, salbT: "That Is a question. We certainly hope Columbia and Pennsylvania will he allowed to enter, but Captain Good rich, who has brought Harvard's com munication to us, and who carries ours back, could give no assurance that Harvard would ohange her attitude, and admit the other two crews." It is certain that Cornell will row Co lumbia and Pennsylvania in a separate race should Harvard and Yale refuse to act with Cornell's request. Investigating tho Ilro'nklyh's Mlshnp.
