New York, Sept. 12.—A big gray horse, one of a team belonging to an express wagon, became frightened, and after galloping madly along Delancey street for four blocks eventually came to a full stop in a bedroom back of Meyer Hauptman's grocery, corner of Attorney street. Happily it was raining hard at the time or there is no telling how serious the casualties would have been. The route '.he frantic brute took is in a tenement district., and on fair days the sidewalks are crowded.

Early this morning, star it bad become an established fact that Tanner was to go, the Preeident telegraphed to Major William Warner asking him to come on at onoe and accept the vacant Commissionership. Major Warner left Kansas city last night, on his way Bast, and it is expected that this telegram, reaching him enroute, will hasten his arrival.

It is not thought that he would care to supersede the latter, but if the welfare of the administration demands it his friends assert he will sink all persaMl considerations and consent to serve. His appointmeatlwould unquestionably be regarded favorablyby the soldiers everywhere. In addition to hia well known interest in the Orand Army Major Warner has the advantage of a practical ex perience in legislative affairs, derived from his long and highly creditable service in Congress as representative from one of the leading Missouri districts.

The president, however, authorized a representative of the United Tress to state that "Commissioner Tanner had not been removed, and that he had not asked for the commissioner's resignation." The crash which followed the dash of the animal into the store awakened the proprietor, who sprang out of bed to find a big horse with dis tended nostrils in full possession of tho apartment. The horse rushed against the opposite wall,which withstood the shock, and the force of the collision threw the frantic animal upon its haunches directly on Hauptman's bod. There it came to a halt long enough for a policeman and a crowd, who had been in hot pursuit, to catch the bridle and pa cify it. Afterward the horse was led out into the street.

An attempt to run a steamer from Somer's Point to Atlantic City had to be abandoned on account of the storm. Commissioner Tanner declined to talk about the imbroglio further than to say that he had not been suspended and had not resign. Efforts are undoubtedly being made to induce the commissioner to resign by offering him another equally lucrative and honorable position, but whether he will yield to such persuasion is not known, and further conferences and more time is needed to settle the matter.

A woman holding a child in her arms was lifted up by the wind and thrown into the water near the Howard pier. Mr. Walter Field, a photographer, jumped in and rescued the woman and child.

These people are mostly negroes, and are very poor. Many of their humble dwellings are ruined. St. Monica's Kouian Cathplic church at Chelsea was badly damaged.

The coffee grinding mill was wrecked, eggs were smashed and canisters of tea and coffee and barrels of potatoes wore knocked into smithereens.
