Benning's Death Caused by a Runaway Horse. About noon yesterday, Philip H. Benning sustained serious internal injuries, from the effects of which he died at six o'clock last evening, by being thrown violently from a buckboard wagon upon the hard pavement at the corner of Commercial and Eleventh streets. Mr. Benning had started to drive down to the new Harwi building on Commercial street to bring his son Charles W. home to dinner. As he was driving down Eleventh street, his horse became frightened and ran furiously down the street towards Commercial street. In turning into Commercial street, the wagon struck the curbing and threw the old gentleman toward a distance of fully fifteen feet. He struck the ground on his head and side, cutting them in several places, cutting a gash in one of his arms, severely bruising one of his hips, and it is now believed, rupturing his spine. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and conveyed to his residence on Santa Fe street, where Dr. Linley, being called, did all in his power to relieve his sufferings. At first, neither Dr. Linley nor the family were aware, as they could not be from the nature of the injuries, how seriously he was hurt, and, as he recovered consciousness shortly after reaching home and did not suffer much pain, it was thought that he would eventually recover. Up to 4 o'clock he did not appear to be in any special danger, but about 5 o'clock it was observed that a change for the worse was taking place. At that time he began to sink, and continued sinking until about 6 o'clock, when he quietly and without a struggle breathed his last. The deceased was an old and highly respected citizen of Atchison, having resided in this city for the past twenty seven years. He was born in Helmers Housen, in Cora Hessen, Germany, December 28, 1822, and was in the 67th year of his age at the time of his death. He came to America in 1850, and settled in Clyde, N. Y. In 1862 he removed to this city. He leaves to mourn his sudden and irreparable loss, an aged widow, four sons, Charles W., George H., Henry S., and John, and three daughters--Eliza, Martha and Mina. Mr. Benning, whose shocking and sudden death we have thus been called upon to chronicle, was an upright, honorable and worthy man, a husband and father greatly beloved, a neighbor highly esteemed, and a most excellent citizen. He leaves behind him as a legacy to his stricken and bereaved family, an honored name and a memory that will be tenderly cherished. The funeral will take place at 4 p.m. today, from his late residence, 1119 Santa Fe street, Rev. D. D. Proper officiating.
