An exciting1 runaway occurred on Sixth
street yesterday afternoon , In which Miss
Huttio Palmer , daughter of lion. J , M
1'ulmor , was a conspicuous figure. The
young lady was out driving , when the breakIng -
Ing of a hold back strap frightened the homo ,
which started to run. The affrighted animal
dashed up Sixth street , crossed Broadway
and continued over the bridge and on
toward the northern portion of the city ,
Miss Palmer retained her presence of mind
und managed to keep the runaway In the
middle of the street , although it was same-
what difficult to retain her seat , astho buggy
was repeatedly thrown in the ulr In going
over the struct crossings at such torrlllo
speed After leaving tua paved street at
Washington avenue , tbo mud was quite deep
and the streets wore so heavy that the ani
mal's wind began to give out , and when the
buggy collided with a dirt baoK at Avenue
D , was ready to stop. The unwilling pas
senger of the mad trip lost no time la getting
to terra firrna , aad could not be induced to
again toke a seat la the uuggy. although
there were several present who offcrod to
driro her homo. Aside from a seroro nervous
shock and being covered with mud , Mio sus
tained no injury from the experience. She
was taken Into the house of n friend near by ,
where she restoJ for some time , after which
ho was able to return homo. The buggy
was notdtunneoJ. The outcome was very
fortunate , as the situation for a tlrao was
most appalling.

A GRHAT LIGHTHOUSE.
Ilic M in moth Structure To Be Erect *
ril Oft'Cniv llnttorns.
Bids will be opened in tbo olllco of
the liphthouso board July 1 for the
erection ol u lighthouse qti the Outer
Diamond shoal , ott Cnpo Hnttcrnss ,
North Carolina. The totul cost of the
structure is limited by act ol congress
to $50U.OOO. The Dmmcnd sho.iU , which
lie southeasterly otT Capo Hatterus. have
always boon dreaded by mariners as the
most exposed iinfl dangerous locality on
the entire Atlantic coast , and n large
number ot vessels have boon wrecked
there annually , involving enormous
losses of life and property , A light
house on the outer shoal would have
undoubtedly saved many ot these ves
sels , ns the nearest light on Cape Hat
terus is invisible in bad weather. A
light has never boon erected on this
ahoal before on account of the extra
ordinary engineering dilllculties in the
way , and the work now contemplated
will be the greatest undortnklng in the
line of lighthouse building in the world.
There nro but two lighthouses in the
world , aa\3 a correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun , that can be at all com
pared with it. Thcso are the Uothor-
sand light , at the mouth of the Woter
river , { lolUuid , in the North sea , nnd
the fourteen-foot light at the mouth of
the Delaware hay. The toivor is to bo
160 high from low-water mark to the
light In the lantern. It will have to beef
of grcnt strength to withstand Uio
notion of the sea , and will have to rest
on solid rock buneath the over-shifting
sands of the shoals. To obtain this
solid foundation and got the htructuro
to such a height that the first rouirb
weather will not destroy it utterly is the
great problem that the builders will
have" to solve.
The lighthouDO board does not speeify
what method shall bo adopted , but it
is generally understood that an im-
inonso caisson eighty or 10U feet in cU-
nmolcr , with a hollow iron cylinder
projecting from its center , will bo built
at the most convenient port. This will
resemble a gigantic iron pan
turned upside down , with a tube run
ning from its center. This caisson will
have to bo towed out , to the Bite , being
lifted on the way over a bar whore
there is but eight foot of water at high
tidn. When it is Anally at the situ it
will bo sunk rapidly until its cutting
edgo1) rests on the sands of the shonl.
Thou the worK of excavation will bo
begun and carried on as fast ns the
most modern appliances will adroit. As
the sand beneath the cassion is ox-
cuvutod and carried up through the
tube the sharp edges will sink lower ,
until finally bedrock is reached. When
all the edges reat firmly on the
rock the entirocaisslon and tube
will bo tilled with concrete
to a height of thirty foot above the sou
level converting it into a solid block
nnd column of stone almost as firm as a
granite monolith. The action of the
seas nnd the constant scouring of the
sand might soon wear away tt o iron
shell , but the concrete will bo practic
ally indestructible. It will bo protect
ed , however , by a rip-rap packing ol
granite blocks woighincr not loss than
two tons ouch. Above this solid struc
ture will bo an iron und steel lower
divided into ton stories , including the
watch room nnd the lutitorn.
After got ing the caisson tower ou
of its final rcBtlncr plnoo the contractors
will have to work night and day , with
out a moment's Intermission , until it
rests on its foundation and the concrete
is tilled in , for , if u utorm should arise
before the work was done , everything
would bo destroyed , At the Rothorsam
light , which was built on this principle
the caisson was thus destroyed , nnd the
contractor wnslinnncially ruined by the
loss. In this UghtuousQ the llrst Hoot
will bo devoted to stores , the second to
the fog-signal machinery , The thin
floor will be n flro-proof storehouse for
oil for the lamps. The next four Moors
will contain the hvinir rooms for the
keeper nnd his assistants. The eight !
floor will bo the service room , and aboyo
it will rlso the wntoh room and the lun
rtorn. Work is to bo commenced wlthli
ono month from thodnto of the approva
of the contract , and the contractor is to
tix the time witnin which it is to ba
completed. No payment is totio made
until the lighthouKo has been in sue
ccbsjul operation a year , Notwithstnud
ing the usual dillluultios in the way P
carrying out the work , n number o
largo engineering linns' will probably
bid. nnd it is thought there will bo n
dltllculty In entering into n contract.
