Om of the most thrilling experiences that have occurred Id Niagara Fails in recent years happened on Friday of last week to two lady visitors at that resort. It was nailing MOSS nos legs than beteg a runaway on the railway suspension bridge, 200 feet above the rushing waters of the Niagara river, with the probability of being hurled down into the river al- most any moment. The ladies who ex. parka:toed this moat miraculous escape were Now Yorkers, who arrived the evening before from the west. They registered at the Cetattect House on the American side as Mrs. II. Stanton and Miss j. Stanton, of New York. They were assigned room overlooking the rapids. Friday morning they engaged a carriage in Marge of a colored man named Henry Driggers, and started for a drive about the points of interest. About noon the party started for this side of the river. When they drove un- der the railway Suspension Bridge on bo the carriage way 0 train was passing over the bridge, and the engine gave a sharp Village. The horses, a spirited team of bays, sprang forward. At the Berne instant the straps to the breast collar broke, and the team began a mad dash morose the bridge. The driver held on to the reins pluckily and guided the horses straight ahead. Fortunately them was no other team on the bridge at the time, and the maddened animals thundered on. Driggers °lung to the reins with a death -like grip, keeping the beasts from swirling the earrings into the sidewalks, where, if it had struck, it would probably have burled the cm- oupants into the river below, and to instant *death. When the team passed the Canadian bridge offeer the carriage stewed into one of the abutments of the bridge, stripping she earriage and throw• ing one of the horses to the ground, breaking its leg. Driggers jumped out, seized the other ',horse, and the ladies, very badly frightened, alighted. Another oarriage was procured and Pars. Stanton and bee sister were taken back to the Cataract house, where Leslie Fenner, the head cleekeplaced everything at the die- posal of the ladies for their comfort. A. reporter saw Mrs. Stanton, who had re- covered from the fright :-"Of spurge we were terribly frightened," said the lady. think almost anyone would have been under the eironmetenees if planed be• hind two wild, frightened animate on a bridge 200 feet over a mad rushing river, when you did not know but that the next moment you would be ahurled into eternity. "No, 1 dou't relish the thought of it," said the lady with a shudder. "But for the splendid nerve and bravery • of our driver we would certainly have been killed. The men is deserving of the highest praise, and I do hope that he will net be discharged. It was not his fault. He did nobly, and I will see that he is not diseharged." Both Mrs. Stem. toe and Miss Stanton are middle-aged ladies, who have travelled extensively, and although baying passed through such a terrible experience, they appeared at luncheon that afternoon none the worse from the fright. Driggers is the lion of the betels, and his name is heard on every hand. The Blue Laws of Connecticut were so called bemuse they were printed on blue -tinged paper.
