It was announced in the clerk's office of the IT circuit court today that new sureties had been furnished in the case of Thomas F. Curley, one of the four young moil recently Indicted for conspiracy. The prosecution is the result of an alleged false impersonation of certain of the defendants at a recent civil service examination held by Sec Stebbins of the civil service board in tliis city. Recently one of Thomas F. Curley's bondsmen.

James A. Plunkett, was petitioned into involuntary bankruptcy, whereupon the government gave notice to the defendant that he must furnish a surety in place of Plunkett. The latter went on the board originally for $2500. Patrick Fallon also subscribing sureties for a similar amount. James F.

Conboy and Margaret Conboy, residing at 67 Armandine st, have furnished sureties in the place of Plunkett's bond, while Mr Fallon still continues on the original bond. The four defendants in the case will probably be called upon to plead in the circuit court tomorrow, when a time will be set for trial. The case is likely to be one of the most interesting held in the courts here for some time, and by reason of the eminent counsel engaged it will receive no little public attention.

Grocery Wagon Smashed Near Ames Building. Express Wagon on Court St Gives Crazed Animal His First Chick. Patrolman Lindsay and Roxbury Man Bring Him to Halt. A madly galloping horse, attached to a light-covered buggy, plunging furiously through the crowded streets, somewhat varied the monotony of everyday life in the business section at noon today, and although, fortunately, no persons were Injured, the runaway caused a good deal of excitement 7e-tcre its wild dasli wai checked. Just at the time when hundreds of faces were lifted toward the time ball on top of the Ames building, a faint murmur of warning, rapidly increasing in volume, until the sound compared fayorably with the warhoops of hostile Indians was heard half-way down State st Pedestrians, with timepieces in hand, forgot all about the official designation of the noon hour and turned to see what the trouble was in the Wall st of Boston.

In less time than It takes to tell, that busy thoroughfare. State st. was as devoid of pedestrians and traffic as If suddenly visited by a typhoon. A space in the center of the street opened as if by magic and all traffic mysteriously ceased. Pedestrians and teams fell to either side like water from the bow of a swiftly moving vessel and in the open space a thoroughly frightened hoi sc and a covered buggy that rolled mm side to side like a ship in a storm, The noon hour is always the busiest one in that section of the eity.

and the sidewalks and crosisngs were crowded with clerks, office boy and stenographers from the countless number of office buildings. Ordinarily the Junction of State and Devonshire sts is con-g 'sted with traffic which with the trolley cars constantly swinging around lue loop at a snail's pace make rapid transit almost an impossibility. But with a runaway horse tearing along, things were different. Patrolman Charley Tighe. whose post Is on the State and Devonshlre-st crossing, was quickly aware that something was wrong when he heard the shrill shrieks of the women and the loud warnlg cries of the men.

He Jumped out Into the street and frantically proceeded to stop the tide of traffic. Prospective heroes were roughly pushed to one side and teamsters whipped up their horse in order to may way for the approaching runaway, and motormen brought their cars to an abrupt halt. The space was cleared none to soon, cither, for the crazed steed dashed across the space and continued on its wild career up State st. Past the old state house with Its accompanying de-hrls used on the new tunnel the animal tore, and officer Dan Carov on the crossing at Court and Washington st shouted warnings to The hundreds going In either direction. A crowd had by this time taken up the chase and although the horse was rapidly Increasing the space between Itself and Us pursuers, every one wanted to be there when the grand finale came.

Officer Carey tried yainly to stop a grocer's wagon which was just swinging into Court st from Washington st. but Ins efforts were unsuccessful and he liarelv inDsed la-lug hit by the c.nrush-ing animal. Although Carey tried, with commendable courage, to seize the bridle, the runaway dodged him with almost human cunning, and the carriage smashed into the grocer's wagon. The latter, which was owned by M. Stoll of S3 Carver st.

suffered the most from the impact. A rear axle was snapped as if It had been made of clay, and the contents of the wagon was distributed upon the silpiery asphalt. Among lie fragile contents of the wagon were several Jugs of vinegar and molasses and a large pail of german mustard. Of course, the suddenness with which these household articles landed on the hard street pavements causeil a commotion, anil on the sidewalk unconsciously lumped out of the patli of the sploshing fluids. One young woman who stood unon the corner of Washington and Court sts did a stunt thnt any athlete might be proud of.

She wore a nattv suit of blue she wisely forgot all about propriety, and lor an instant displayed a few Inches of openwork stockings as she nimbly jumped out of harm's way. Even then a splurge of the yellow mustard found a resting place on her skirts, hut she heaved a sigh of relief as she philosophically remarked that the damage might have been more extensive. Another throng of passershy hurried Ui of the path of the rapidly moving horse and buggy near the old court house. Straight as an arrow the run-a wav continued up Court pt. nor did lie stop' until lie again crashed into a much heavier wagon this time a wagon owned bv Conroy's express.

The driver of tiie latter was Just turning into Court sq tie the runaway collided nnd for pi instant the speed of the frightened animal was checked. The collision had the effect of breaking a shaft of tiie buggy Into splinters and of eventually freeing the runaway from his load. For the first time since he started modestly on the wild rampage from To State st. the blooded hay deviated from his course and headed across Seollav sq to the right of the subway station. "Al Lindsay, the genial officer on the Tremont-st crossing, heard the rumpus down tho street and rushed over to see what the commotion was all about.

When lie gained tiie square the now lrantic horse had suddenly changed his course, in view of an electric car anil large wagon occupying tiie space between the subway station and Cornhlll. Immediately in front of the subway entrance tiie animal swerved for an instant, and sey eral men made a grab at its head. This action had tiie effect of slewing the animal for a fraction of a second only, but it was long enough lor patrolman Lindsay to throw Idmself at the lirldle. The horse reared for a moment and again started on his run, dragging the plucky officer with him. Just then Bierce Rreet of 76 Hillside st.

Roxbury. lunged at the other side, and tiie two succeeded in bringing the anl-nvil to dead halt. It was not patrolman Lindsay's first experience with a runaway, and le-modestly began to become acquainted with all the facts for his report as the crowd surged about hint and showered congratulations upon him. Mr Brent was also warmly commended for Ills brave act. Daniel MeKenney of 27 Leii-ester st.

Brighton, the owner of the runaway, came along in a few minutes, and after rewarding Mr Brett took charge of Ids horse. Although Mr MeKenney is a large man and an experienced horseman he had quite a little difficulty In controlling the horse as he led him to a livery stable in the West End. That no one was injured during th mad rush of tiie runaway is considered a miracle l.y tlio.se ho watched the exciting incidents. EAST BOSTON. William K.

Saved Three Trains From Disaster. Found Bridge Burning at Williamstown. Was Just In Time to Stop a Freight from West. Two Expresses Halted by Charles Snidawin. Fire Also Destroys Picnic Spot at East WILLIAMSTOWN, May 4-Rallroad inen and citizens are discussing today a thoughtful and timely act on the part of Charles Snidawin, who stopped two fast express trains and a freight on the Boston Maine railroad near here, within a few feet of a burning bridge.

Many believe that the fortunate discovery of the burning structure by a man who knew how to act quickly saved many lives. Mr Snidawin, who is a railroad man of much experience, was passing along tna tracks of the Fitchburg division of the Boston Maine road yesterday, when ho made the discovery. The bridge Is a small one over the highway at Cole's crossing, about two miles west of Williamstown. It Is located on a rather sharp curve, making any defect in the structure all fhe more dangerous. At the time of the discovery the tle3 and planking were well afire, and in many places seriously burned away.

Spikes were loose, and the rails, particularly on the west-bound track, were badly warped. Under such conditions the rails could not have held a rapidly-moving and heavy train. lie knew that a freight train was about due from the west, and he ran back on the track Just soon enough to stop It. He then hurried to the east of fho bridge and stopped train 11, a fast express from the east. A few minutes later an express train from the west was storped In the rear of the freight.

By detaching tlio freight locomotive and running It up to the bridge an emergency fire brigade went into service. using water from the tender. After the rails had been cooled, the trains were run very carefully and very slowly over tlio structure, the freight train making a test first. Later a section gang went to work and replaced many ties and the rails, putting the bridge in a safe condition after a few hours' work. It is thought that tho fire was caused by a careless fireman dumping his fire box on the bridge, A forest fire wtdeh swept over a portion of Ei-st Mountain here yesterday also caused some damage, destroying most of tho buildings in Cole's grove, which was a popular picnic resort some years ago.

The flames started In a clearing east of the grove, and. fanned by a strong wind, made rapid headway. They swept through tho grove In less than nn hour, arid totally destroyed a largo dancing pavilion, dining a building used for a kitchen, an Icehouse, a storehouse snd horse sheet, the aggregate value of which was about. J3000. The property was owned by Miss Alice Brown and the loss Is partly covered by Insurance.

The blaze threatened several houses near tho grove, but they were saved by the hard woi of volunteers. The grove Rootbeer gives Vitality Vigor Vim fc. lrt tS'X 1 A rrk make I ill. mu. Soul e.tr jr-v or wnl ly until on rrveipt a "A of 26 tent.
