Steam Roller Causes Accident.
John Reid, well known by all the old-timers in Honolulu, who drives a public carriage connected with the old Andrade stables on Kawaiahao lane, met with a very painful accident yesterday.
Reid was driving down Vineyard street about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon when, upon reaching Nuuanu street, the horses became frightened at a steam roller which had been left there for some reason or other.
The result was that the animals bolted and the carriage crashed into the large tree in the road at this point.
Reid was thrown violently to the ground and badly bruised and cut about the head.
The horses were secured before they broke away from the rig.
Reid was removed to the hospital in the patrol wagon, where he is now in a somewhat serious condition.
