Tho Dreary FLOAT of Two Sailors on a
Life-buoy, Until Picked Up by "a Passing
Vessel.
Thursdays Philadelphia Record con-
tanned the following:
If their story he true, Gus LARSEN and
Henry Harris, the two sailors who We're
picked up last Tuesday in an exhausted
condition by the tug Pioneer in the Della
ware hay, about 35 miles below this city,
certainly had an uncomfortable experience
OH board the barkentine Maggie Thomp-
son.
Tho men say that they shipped on the
vessel last Saturday, and went ON board at
Allison's wharf. Schuylkill. The vessel
was bound for Rio Janeiro, and had Just
completed loading a cargo of machinery.
The sailors were ordered to do some duty
forward, and as they worked LARSEN says
the mate abused them for their sloWness.
and when he answered back, he was
promptly knocked down. This kind of
treatment, he asserts, continued, and the
sailors also suffered, until they decided to
escape.
Some Of them could not swim, but on
Monday night LARSEN and Harris took a
life buoy and went overheard. They
found the current stronger than they OK
pected. and floated about all night, but at
daylight they were picked up by the Pio-
neer. When told of the occurrence, one of
the owners said he was certain the officers
would not abuse the sailors.

EXCITING RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
A Trio of Young Ladies' Have Thrilling
Experience on Delaware Avenue.

A runaway which caused an exciting
accident, which fortunately did not cut
inmate seriously, occurred on Delaware
avenue yesterday week. The Misses
Draper, daughters of DIR. j. A. Draper,
and Miss Annie Gray, daughter of Hon,
George Gray, were returning in carriage
from the wedding of Miss Claudia w. Lea
to Sheffield Phelps at the home of the
BRIDE No. 500 Delaware avenue, when the
horses became frightened and started on a
mad run down the avenue.
The runaways continued until they
reached Eleventh street, when they
dashed down that street to Orange. Here
the runaways were stopped by one of the
horses falling TO the pavement. The occu-
pants Of the carriage, aside from being
badly shaken up, were uninjured and re-
mained in the vehicle during the entire
course of the fleeing horses. The team be-
longed to Mcdaniel Brothers, of No. ITO

Investment ia Industrial Enterprises
Highly Successful in Philadelphia.

In regard to Investment in industrial
enterprises and the advantages guaranteed
the stakeholder the Philadelphia Itkgiuph
of Wednesday in referring to the success of
the Herring Hall Marvin Safe Company,
recent Philadelphia industrial enterprise,
the stock for which was all subscribed, or
more literally speaking, oyer-subscribed
on the day the subscription books were
opened says
THE surprising success of the subscrp-
tions for the new safe making company's
stock is another evidence of the favor with
which the moneycd public is growing to re-
gard industrial securities The time will
come when they will sell al the same relative
prices rs railroad stocks, and then there
will no longer be tine broad margin for
profit in buying them there is now"
Wilmington has already made one move
in this direction and it is Il good thing to
see that the subscriptions to The preferred
stock of the Walton q Whann Company
have been so well supported. This will
pave the way for otlier enterprises in the
Industrial line in this locality. No city is
better situated than Wilmington and none
has better established industrial enter
prses.. This gives opportunity for the
small investor and wage-earner to become
a profit sharcr with his EMPLOYER.
