Dramatic Boat Chaise Accident Near White Hart

On Sunday night a chaise driver taking a pair of fine horses to the horsepond at Bilborough streets plunged into a rapid stream near the end of Philadelphia Street. The chaise was wedged under the Philadelphia arch, the horses and driver suspended for over half an hour. Despite crowds, no relief could be found and the man and horses drowned. The crowd attempted to pull him free but he refused help, saying the horses would die with him if they perished.
