Considerable excitement was occasioned last evening shortly after 7 o’clock on 14th street, and two men, a horse and several vehicles were injured, through the running away of a two-horse team belonging to Lieut. Col. G. H. Weeks. Coachman John Bright was driving the team, and the horses becoming frightened at a street car at U street, started off on a run. They soon got beyond the control of Bright, and near T street he was thrown from his seat, being badly cut about the head and considerably bruised. The frightened horses continued on down 14th street, and shortly after Bright was thrown cut the carriage struck a wagon driven by Hayden Burrows, knocking it over and pitching Burrows out. Down the street the horses ran, and between R and S a delivery wagon of the People’s Dispatch Company was badly damaged, and one of the horses attached to it seriously injured. Next, a vehicle belonging to Mr. F. Crown was struck, breaking it and knocking Crown out and the horse down. Shortly after- vard, just below Q street, the horses broke loose from the carriage, and galloped some distance further, when they were caught. Mr. Burrows was found to be badly hurt, apparently suffering from concussion of the brain, and was taken to his home, 13th and Spring streets, in an unconscious con- dition. Coachman Bright was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where his wounds were dressed. An immense throng of peo- ple was attracted by the accident, and two ambulances and two patrol wagons were called to the scene. aE See ‘The New Postmaster at Arlingto: The new postmaster at Arlingtoa, Va., Mr. E.
