A Marrow EscaDe

Yesterday morning two men named
James 4. Carter and Charles Miftiir
who make a business of buy up ole
sail and rope, left Philadelphia in 8
boat in pursuit of their business. They
arrived at Chester, where they made
purchases and from there proceeded to
Tburlow, where another lot was
bought, the whole amounting to $685..
20.
Abont7 o'clock last evening they
took the tug WOlverton for this city,
but when they reached the mouth Of
the Christiana they cast loose from the
tug, and concluded to remain all night,
and come up to the city this morning.
About midnight the storm burst upon
them in all its fury, and from that time
until daylight they had all they could
do to keep their little craft afoat.
The rain was pouring in torrents,
while & cold east wind was blowing,
and the men were soon drenched and
thoroughly chilled. About 5 o'clock
this morning the tug Claudia, Captain
William N. Downing, ran down to
the mouth of the creek in search
of tow, and as soon as the Captain
saw the pitiable plight Of these men, he
made their boat fast to the tug, and
started with them for this city.
The storm was then about at its
height, and the waves lashed into fury
by the high wind, were rolling almost
like the ocean, and in very few minu-
tes the little boat was swamped, throw
ing both men into the angry, seething
waters. Each seized an oar, and Cap.
tain Downing Immediately stopped the
tug and took measures to rescue them.
As soon as the men saw that the tug
WAS stopped, they dropped their oars
and started to swim, and both being
excellent swimmers were soon along.
side the tug, where willing hands al.
sisted them on board.
Everything that was in the boat was
lost, even to their coats. The Captain
succeeded after considerable trouble,
and stopping number of times, in
getting the boat to Market street wharf,
where it will remain until the men can
procure an oar in place Of one that was
lost, when they purpose returning to
Philadelphia.
They are very grateful to Captain
Downing for his assistance and kind.
ness, and said this morning that had it
not been for him they would have been
drowned.

The Black Plague.

LONDON, June N.-A dispatch from
TOulon says that there have been NJ
deaths at the Marine Hospital from
cholera since Sunday, but travellers
who have arrived at Msrseilles report
that eighteen deaths occurred on Mon
day. M. Herrison, French minister Of
Commerce. has convoked the National
Board of Health for the purpose Of
adopting measures for the suppression
Of the disease at Toulon and to prevent
It's spread. Much alarm has been Gre
ated throughout Europe. A Spanish
Cabinet council has been called to take
steps for quarantine on the Spanish
frontier. In Vienna the Chief Sanitary
Council has been summoned for con.
sulration, and the leading physicians
have been invited to attend. The first
death occurred 1T Toulon OIL June IA,
but it was kept secret.
THE STRICKEN olTY.
The journalists Of Toulon aided in
keeping the matter hushed up until
Sunday, bus, as seventeen deaths had
then occurred, secrecy was no longer
practicable. Measures Of precaution
were taken by the naval aut horities,
and the sailing transport Entrepenante
was arranged to receive sailors and
mariners. The crew of the fleet will be
sent to encamp at Saint Mandeier. In
the town measures of preoaution have
also been organized by the Mayor and
Municipal Committee. and notices have
been posted prescribing sanitary mea.
sures to be taken.
The bodies are to be buried at once In
deep graves and disinfectants used In
filling in the graves No bodies are to be
allowed to be deposited in churches. An
extensive migration has already COM
nenced. Eight thousand persons left
T0ulon on Sunday.
A SEVERE TYPE OF DISEASE.
The disease Is OF q very severe type.
The case Of a STUDENT at the l.ycee Wa.
quite remarkable, death following the
seizure almost Immediately.
There is Kre.t excitement at Mar
seilles. The Sanitary Council has met
there TO consider lhe rituSt.on, but II is
considered tina, Marse'les may he pro-
tected from the germs Of infection by
the mistral, the wiuu prevalent at this
season.
Toulon has been in bad sanitary
condition for 3 long time, The authori-
ties, however, have hesn regtil"nr. and
have contented themselves with the
local shiftings of troops. I.itli. has
been done to remove the ca,ises Of the
evil. Proper sewers do not exist, and,
the town being built on piles, many
houses are without drainage arrange
ments. The sewage is stnptied into
streams, and not swept away by the
Mediterranean, which is without tide
at the present season of the year, and
in calm weather at all times the emaua
tions are insupportable.
