Wililam Zwick, of the firm of Gay, Zwick & Myers, had a narrow escape from breaking his neck Tuesday. He had driven out to deliver a load of furniture and, wrapped up cosily and “snug as a bug in a rug’’ in the robes,

was driving along merrily on his home trip, the horses going at a rate of four or five miles an hour. Sud"denly the seat tipped in such away ; that Mr. Zwick was thrown off and i out of the wagon directly on bis head on the frozen gravel road. As he was wrapped tightly in the robes, he was , unable to catch himself in any way, or save himself from the full force of the fall, and it was lucky that he escaped breaking his neck. A gash was cut in his head and he was badly bruised in other ways, but was able to! pick himself up and return to this city | and today was at work again as usual. | o HOSPITALS CROWDED.
