! I i i l $ 'rt 1 4 I HORSE FRANTIC WITH FRIGHT Plunges- Down South Elm and Pitches on the Track IN FRONT OF A MOVING TRAIN Plucky Fight of the Woman Driver. Picked up Unconscious, but Not Seriously Injured. Greensboro has been having more than her share of runaways for the last few days, but the most sensatienal and dangerous occurred this morning1 about half past ten o'clock. A horse driven by Mrs. Robert Murray became frightened at a man walking on stilts and ringing a bell on South Elm street, beyond the railroad and plunged down that street, toward the depot, growing more and more un manageable at each jump as he zig zagged across the street from side to side. In front of J. C. Olives, whole sale grocery store, he stumbled over a piece of gas pipe lying beside the curb ing, collided with a light pole, and pitched headlong onto the railroad, in front of an incoming train. W. H. Andrew who controls the cro'ssing, seeing the emergency, seized a flag and flagged the oncoming train in time to prevent its striking the horse and vehicle. The buggy struck the curbing as the horse collided with the post and overturned, throwing Mrs. Murray violently into the street and fortunately , 'clear of the vehicle which was dragged after the falling horse. Mrs. Murray was picked up uncon scious and carried into the office of Olive & Company, and Dr. Beall was was summoned. She soon recovered consciousness and was taken home.' Mr. Murray said she did not seem to be injured seriously, though the shock was terrific for the moment. The only danger is in the reaction from the shock and nervous strain. Those who saw the runaway, said they never saw greater courage and coolness than Mrs. Murray displayed. They declared she showed perfect com posure, and continued to pull the ani mal and did not relax her efforts to get him under control, until thrown from the buggy. The horsehas a gash to the bone on one side oj the head extending above the eye and another on the hip and suffered internal injuries. He had to be dragged clear of the track where he fell, and a pool of blood showed where he lay. The buggy was consid erably wrecked. Some men who saw the accident cut the horse loose from the buggy and succeeded in getting him to the lot in the rear of Olive's grocery store. PASSED THE HIGH WATER MARK. University Goes Her Antebellum Re cord One Better. President Alderman was at the Mer chants' and Manufacturers' club last night and told a Telegram man that the University yesterday surpassed her previous record. The largest en rollment in the history of the institu tiorrwas 461 students, while the en oll ment yesterday, exclusive of the sum mer school, reached 462. President Alderman is greatly pleased both with the number and personel of the stu dents. He says he has been especial ly struck with the absence of rowdy ism and occasions that call for the dis cipline of the faculty. The alumni hall, he says, is now as sured, and a committee has the loca tion under advisement and so soon as a decision is reached work on the build ing will begin. The hall is to contain rooms for all the executive part of the University. The football teamhas five ex-captains and is hard at work every after noon. The Show. But three more nights remain in which to visit Dr. Blue Mountain Joe's show at West's park. So far each night's entertainment has been highly amusing to the large audiences and in every respect the show has been strictly first-class, humorons, but re fining, elevating and perfectly free from any vulgar language or indecent scenes as well. The ladies , present each night speak of the manner, and propriety in which the entertainments are conducted. Changes of program will be given nightly for the balance of the week, closing Saturday night with a grand double bill and all feature program, presenting the strongest and best bill of the engagement. On this occasion a four-round Marquis of Queensbury glove contest ( for points only ) will be given by the McDade brothers, which will doubtless prove very interesting. Papers Galore in Raleigh. The Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: , "It is said that the morning paper here will publish an afternoon edition. The Republicans calculate that they will have a weekly here by January 1. It is learned that a canvass is now in progress in the interest of another morning Democratic daily atRaleigh. ' ' BRIEF LOCAL MATTERS. John A. Murchison went to Reids ville on the noon5 train. Capt. E. S. Parker, of Graham, came up on the noon train. Eugene E. Gray, ex-mayor of Wins ton, was here today and left on the Raleigh train. J. W. Ashburn and wife, of this city, went to Winston yesterday. They think of locating there. j M. C. McDonald, of West End, Moore county, was here last night and left on the east bound train this morn ing. Mrs. A. Weatherly and children have returned from a pleasant visit to Mrs. Weatherly 's relatives near Mad ison. Bill boards tiO be used by the circus people, are being put up in different parts of the city. The lot just south of the Benbow, from the street corner to Johnson & Dorsett's store is being utilized for this purpose. The adver tising agent and the bill posters are expected here tomorrow. The exact date of the circus performance in this city is not yet known. Miss Bertha Creighton and her com pany passed through here this morn ing from Danville to Raleigh. On ac count of the fever in the south, Miss Creighton had to cancel her engage ment in Atlanta, and Manager Black burn, of the Academy of Music, has induced her manager to play here for one night. She will produce Romeo and Juliet here on the night of Oct. 12. There is a rare treat in store for lovers of the beautiful. HADE THE LAME FLY. A New Discovery Which Eclipses AH Others. The room in the rear and immedi ately adjoining the mayor's office, is used by the liv business firm of T. M. Pickard & Co. as a storage for a large stock of staple groceries. The weight became so great that on yes terday the floor collapsed with a ter rific crash. Sitting inside the mayor's office and next to the partition between the office and storage room were two young attorneys, well known in dramatic circles. One of these gentlemen walks with a cane. When the mighty crash came this gentleman forgot his cane and went out at the door at a 2:30 gait. And it is related of the other gentle man that he rose from his seat near the door and sailed to the outer edge of the sidewalk with all the ease and grace of a swift-winged swallow in a hurry. We have read of remedies that will make the lame walk, but this is a new discovery which makes 'em fly. We are glad to say, however, that no serious damage resulted. Both gentlemen have recovered their good looks, and all is calm and serene again. Will Locate Here. John W. King, a hustling traveling man for the Drummond Tobacco Com pany, of St. Louis, has decided to em bark in the leaf tobacco business for himself, and will locate in Greensboro. They are coming, and it might be well to watch the procession. One by one, new business enterprises spring up. A little time,' sirs, a little time, and then look at Greensboro. We welcome all such men as Mr. King. The band will soon begin to play and now is the time to secure a seat. Revenue Men Change Places. Col. W. H. Chapman, of the reve nue office here, left for Lynchburg, Va., today to take the place vacated by Capt. Bouldin, who for two years, has had charge of the revenue office in that city. Capt. Bouldin arrived to day to take the place in the office va cated by Col. Chapman. In other words, the men simply change places. They both have exceilent records in the revenue service and the exchange of places is only in keeping with the regulations of the department. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
