TRAGIC EVENT DUE TO RUNAWAY Horse Madly Raced Over Williamsburg Bridge.and a Collision With the Parapet Dashed the Driver to the Ground. AsM'tat'i Fro.w PUpntch by pctl Wlroa. New York, Sept. 19. A man sup-pozed to be William A.

Furisch, the driver of a newspaper delivery wagon, was thrown over tbe railing of Williamsburg bridge, the new sus-pension bridge over the East River, and dropped 150 feet to the stone sidewalk which botders the New York shore of tbe river, beneath tbe bridge approach, lie died almost instantly. The man's death came after a wild runaway ride acres a large part of the bridge. An automobile frightened tbe horse. Furisch made no attempt to jutnr, but leaped tar forward and guided his hore past the other teams in tbe dangerous pastaueway. His neat was on a level with tbe outer guard rail of the bridge and when tbe wagon careened against this rail Furisch shot out ot his seat with a dite tbat carried him completely beyond the bridge parapet to the pavement below.

The horse continued to run, to the great peril df other teams on the bridge. The police closed tbe iron gates leading into the street and at these gates tbe horse was stopped. THE LEVY COURT. An Ontntd Tlidrfer for th Jlew Faalk Iton.1. At the meeting of the Levy Court this motning the bids for building Faulk road were opened.

There were but two bids. 1 hoy were as follows: Williamson A McLaughlin of Philadelphia, Stewart Donohuo, Thu Philadelphia firm's bid is less than that of the local contractors. Tbe new road will be two miles long and extends from the Nelson road to a point two miles northerly from tbare. Tbe bids were referred to Highway Commissioner Price and the tinance committee of the Levy Court. The batch of bills presented by the finance committee last Tuesday aod referred back to that committee were returned to the court tbis morning, bearing the approval of the committee, and were ordered paid.

President Hopkins produced a contract which be had entered into with the White Clay Creek Electric Co. for placing a light upon Roseville covered bridge near Newark. The contract price is $18 for the year. The contract was approved and tiled with the comptroller. John Hudson of Smyrna, a member of tbe Keat oounty Levy Court, appeared before the local court in reference to needed repairs at Fleming's Landing bridge.

He said that since tbe recent conference of representatives of the two courts over the biidge, his court has bad a meeting and tbe matter had been discussed. He said tbat in their opinion the foundations of the bridge were in good shape and he believed that he could furnish a man who would put that bridge in good order at the cost of only a few hundred dollars. Mr. Scott did not agree with Mr. Hudson.

He said tbat the foundations of the bridge were not all right because tbe bridge was gradually moving towards the Kent county side of tbe creek. He further declared thtit an unexperienced man could not put the bridge in proper shape. Mr. Scott said that the King Bridge Co. of Ohio -was the builder of the bridge and competent to restore it.

Ia bis opinion both counties should secure bids upon tbe work. When Mr. Logue presented his bills for repairs to bridges for the month of August, the amounts expended upon Third and Eleventh' street bridges were so small tbat President Hopkins complimented Mr. Logue for having been so moderate in his work. The bill for Third street is 110.63, aod lor Eleventh street A resolution was adopted to reject both bids on the Faulk road, because the amounts of tbe bids are in excess of tbe good roads appropriation.

The resolution also defers asking lor other bids on tbe ioad until 1906. A resolution waa presented by Mr. Brown, chairman of thefinar.ee committee, making it necessary for tbe majority of every committee to approve its bills. The resolution was adopted. No action was taken on the Fleming's bridge question.

Mr. Brown announced that tbe new wcrkbouee bonds wouli be printed and delivered to tbe county at the Court House next Thursday morning. He asked that tbe proper oliiolaia be present to sign them. Ccuit adjourned until next Tuesday, in Mexico. asFOCiated Press Disuateh by upcxi WIroa.
