[condensed, from Providence Register.] About two o'clock yesterday afternoon Samuel ALTEMUS of Moosic and Edward H. SCHILLING of Philadelphia, started out for a trip through Taylorville, Pittston and Old Forge. They reached Old Forge and there made their first stop. After transacting their business they untied the horses and Mr. Schilling sprang into the carriage, but before Mr. Altemus could do likewise, the horses for some unaccountable reason started off on a dead run. Mr. Schilling jumped out and was uninjured. The horses after a run of about one hundred yards attempted to make a turn, but it was too short and the one forced the other against a broke fence, the top rail of which caught the one horse in the breast forcing its way over three feet into the animal's body, causing instant death, smashing the buggy, tearing the harness and bringing the other horse to a short stop.
