DEATH TO THE HORSE Carriages in Collision on Birkbeck Street Valuable Animal Owned by Liveryman Fisher Killed in an Accident Near the Feed Mill. Shortly after 10 o'clock last evening a horse owned by Liveryman John Fisher was killed near the Davis feed mill. Mr. Fisher's driver, Elmer Snyder, was on his way to Sandy Bun. lie was in a carriage and driving two horses. After passing the mill he -hoard another double team coming in the opposite direction. The team was driven and owned by A. B. Smith, of Walnut street. He was returning home after carrying a party from the Iloncyhole. It has not yet been settled who was to blame, but for some reason one of the drivers did not leave sufficient space for the other carriage to pass, and the ani mals met squarely face to face. The polo of Smith's vehicle crashed into the breast of one of Fisher's horses, inflicting a wound nearly a foot deep. The animal immediately fell over on its side and in a few minutes bled to death. Botli men claim t) be innocent of any intention to do wrong and each allege that tho other is to blame for the accident. Measurements of the road were taken and the tracks of the vehicle traced after the affair. Revenue Tax Not Paid.

A week ago the society of Rockport was holding a picnic there. Mantis McFadden and Neil Ward, of Eckley, were anxious to be on hand, but the distance was too great to walk. It struck them that a horseless carriage would be the proper way to get thero, so they entered the company stable and harnessed a mule and hitched it to a buck board and away they went. They brought the mule back to the barn early Sunday morning more dead than alive. This morning they did not have such a delightful time. They were arrested by Officer Filler, chargod with the MISCELLANEOUS ADVEItTISEMENTH. INSTATE OK JANE OALLAOHEB, lute of JJJ Ha/.le township, deceased.

FALSE ALARM Gallant Response to the Fire Call Made Last Evening. During the heavy downpour of rain at 8 o'clock last evening an alarm of fire was turned in from box 43, corner of Washington and Chestnut streets. Not withstanding the fact that the rain was falling in sheets and a terrific thunder storm was in progress, the fireinon responded with alarcity and two hose carts and the ladder truck were out in a few moments. Fortunately, the lire uien were not needed. The alarm was sounded by residents of Chestnut street, who, from their rear doors saw sparks rising from the Dou gherty building at the corner of Wash ington and Walnut streots. After a hasty investigation, it was believed the building was oh fire and the key held by M. Zimmerman to box 43 was obtained. The sparks which the people of Chest nut street saw were coming from the chimney on the side of the house oc cupied by A. B. Smith and family. Fresh wood had been placed in the stovo, with the result that from the outside the sinoke and sparks gave the appear ance of a lire well under way. It is unfortunate that a more fuller investigation was not made before the alarm whistle was blown. Many young mon who respondod to tho call did not take time to change their clothes, and several good suits wero damaged in get ing the apparatus to the scene. Mabel Vanauken Dead.
