The result was magnificent, but rather dangerous for the bystanders several persons had their clothing burned, and horses were so badly frightened at the bombardment that several runaways were imminent. Dr. Mackey's team was standing in front of Sparks & Co.'s Drug Store. When the balls from the Roman candles began to fly around them they were commenced rearing and backing. The doctor, who was silting in the buggy, was taken by surprise, and but for the timely assistance of S.G.
