Two Teams Collide.
Last Saturday evening fellows,
spekes and single trees took a tum-
bel or properly speaking a scater-
ation, a short distance east of the P.
R. R. crossing on Main street and
an accident that may have been the
cause of some person being muimed
for life was averted by Db. U.
Stoner, who was sitting out on a
benchin front of his residence with
another citizen, by checking the
horse. It was all caused by fast
driving and coming in contact with
a wagon driven by Mr. Brown, of
near Florm. By way of a little
friendly advice we would say that
some of the driving men that make
this a practice every Saturday and
Sunday evening to speed or race
their horses on Main street and par-
ticularly in the west end, if they
think they have fast horses it would
be a good idea to take them to
Lancaster or Middletown race tracks
and speed them there and then they
would not be in danger of smashing
up conveyances or running elderly
people and children down on the
highway.
There is entirely to much of it on
our streets.
