Nearly Drowned by Hailstones.

c. Stanley Hurlbut, the well-known
oarsman, had thrilling experience on
the Schuylkill river during the terrific
storm on Wednesday night and had to
swim for his life.
Mr.. Hurlbut is a member of the
Malta boat club, and after office hours
on Wednesday started up the river in a
single shell to the race course. Here
the storm overlook him, and the hail
stones perforated the covering of his
shell. The craft began to fill with
water and settle. 1t was only by skill
full handling that Mr.. Hurlbut kept
right side up, all the while the hail
pelting him in fusillade.
At one time he was in imminent
danger of losing his life by being run
down by the four cared shell of the
Pennsylvania Barge Club, which bore
down upon him, appearing suddenly
through the veil caused by the storm,
not ten yards away. A blow from the
sharp prov of the shell would have
been fatal to the oarsman, and Mr..
Hurlbut, realizing his peril, succeeded
by powerful left hand stroke in throw.
ing his shell out of the line.
The boat shot by like flash and
left the oarsman fighting with the
waves, which rolled over his boat
causing it to settle at least one foot
He succeeded in getting to the shelter
of pier at Columbia bridge, when the
shell turned, leaving him in the water
With the craft in tow, Mr.. Hurlbu,
started to swim to Belmont landing
where he was assisted by several your
men who had witnessed his exciting
struggle. The shell is a wreck.-Phila

Millions of Valueless Money.

Eighty million dollars in bills were
received at Atlanta day or two ago,
the mammoth packages of money fill
ing five large dry goods boxes and
making in all dray load. None of
the bills was current, however, as they
represent nothing in Gods earth now
and naught in the waters below it"
They were Confederate bills of the
rarest type, The huge pile of gen.
uine Confederate money was shipped
from Richmond, the former capital of
the Confederacy, and is now the prop.
erty of Charles ID. Baker of Atlanta.
The money is Of every denomination
issued by the departed nation, and in
the big collection are bills of the rarest
type. There are bills issued during
every year of the war. Thousands OF
them are very valuable as relics, but
the great number of them Mr.. Baker
has on hand will make them so COM
mon as to bring but little on the mar
ket. This $50, 1000, 900 of Confederate
money has been all along supposed to
have been destroyed. This is un'
doubleday the largest lot Of Confed'
crate money in the world,--S0cannah

Nearly -Four Months in a poldrum.

Held for nearly four months in an
equatorial doldrum or dead sea calm
until her provisions we're exhausted
and her crew OH the verge of starvation
was the terrible experience of the
American ship Edward O'Brien, which
had long ago been given up for lost
The ship is owned partly in this city,
and the news of her safety bias just
reached the owners.
The ship left Victoria, B. c., early
in December last with a large cargo Of
wheat, and nothing was heard of her
until June aand, when she was sighted
by the steamer Calico in latitude
46.3r, longitude a5.Ig, flying signals
telling that she was short Of food. She
was supplied by the steamer, and
Captain Wilton brought to New
York news of the safety to the under
writer's, who were demanding heavy
premiums for re-insuring the vessel and
cargo.
1t was learned that the ship had
made fine run down the Pacific coast
and around the Horn, but when near
the equator she had been caught in one
of the dreaded Gains that prevail in
that latitude. For three months she
remained within a distance of half a
mile from where she first struck the
calm, and during that time there was
not wind enough to fill even the light.
est of her sails. Finally a small cur
rent, probably made by storm some
miles away, appeared and served to
send her slowly out of the locality,
which threatened at one time to be-
come place of death for all on board
On this current the ship drifted for
almost another month. Then a vel.
come wind carried her back into the
the paths of Observation-Disclosures

Imprisonment For Snoring.

The club member who goes to sleep
and shores in the reading room OF
library is nuisance, but the punish
ment of his offense by term of i'm
prisonmeht has not yet been heard of.
The magistrates at Aston police court,
however, are, it would seem, in favor
of such treatment. The London
Truth calls attention to case heard
at Aston, where laborer named John
Groves was charged with vagrancy for
having slept in furniture van in the
public street. A police constable on
his rounds heard loud shores. He was
not at first able to discover the origin
of the sound, but on getting over a
wall into yard he found the prisoner
asleep in furniture van, snoring in
such a manner as to make himself
heard at considerable distance from
his hiding place.
The prisoner, in reply to the bench,
said that he had been at work at SUIT
ton, and on returning to his home to
Aston he was unable to gain admission
SO that he went and slept in the van
The deputy magistrates clerk pointed
out, however, that he was disturbing
the neighborhood with his mighty
snore, whereupon the magistrates, prob
ably taking this heinous offense into
consideration, for nothing else was al
legged against the prisoner, positively
sentenced the wretched man to 81,
weeks hard labor.

DRExEL'S PLAN.
G. P. Huntington the Only Financier
Who Would Express an Opinion.


New York, May 4.-Financial experts
were busy all day to-day trying to digest
the 49-page reOrganiza tion plan presented
by Drexel, Morgan & Co. to the Richmond
and West Point Terminal, Richmond and
Danville and East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad shareholders. There is
no precedent whatever of plan so vast
as this and so comprehensive. Drexel,
Morgan & Co. pledge themselves to carry
it through, and have secured a guarantee
of $4,000, 900 in cash against possible op-
position. AS trustees they will
hold the voting power for
five years, thus securing for
them absolute control. Upon these terms
they offer their services as surgeons of
finance whenever the patient is ready to
submit. There is no compulsion in the
matter whatever. Any holder of the two
score of securities directly affected NAV.
accept or decline.
The wide interest felt was shown by the
steady stream of messengers sent after
copies of the plan. c. II. Coster, of the
firm and of the committee, said they had
already received about 604o 70 per cent.
of the total securities involved. THE re-
ceipts to-day" he said, ''have gone on Just
the same. There have been no Withdrawals
except where securities have been sold

What little expression of opinion there
was seems favorable. President Olcott
of the Central Trust did not care TO ex-
press his views. He had been concerned
IN the old plan, which had failed, and yet
his company was made depository under
the new plan
9. p Huntington was emphatic In say
ing that the plan was wise In that it
avoided criticism by going direct to the
stockholders for the money needed. An
other point that aroused considerable
comment was the fact that the plan was
made so clear, even 10 the exact specifica-
tions of the bankers fee. They undertook
il for their expenses and a contingent
which depends entirely upon the value Of
the property after the work was finished
IL is a curious fact that Mr.. Huntington
alone was willing % be quoted. Every
one else whose opinion was worth any
thing declined

RISKED LIFE FOR LIBERTY.
Daring Escape Of a Convict From
The Columbia PenitCntiaTY.

He Began Operations by Saving the
Bolts Which Locked His Cell-The
Lock Fixed to Click SO as to Fool
the Guard When He Locked tbs
Door.
Columbia, S. c., May PA negro con-
Wet named Albert Jenkins escaped
from the penitentiary last night under
the most extraordinary circumstances.
The ingenuity that he displayed was
amazing. Into each cell extends a tri-
angular piece of iron and through these
there runs a long iron bar extending the
entire length of the building. When the
cells are locked this projecting piece Is
firmly riveted to the door, and it appears
impossible for any one to break it. In adj
dition to this there Is paddock on the
door. Jenkins, in some way, took
the rivets out. 1t is supposed
that after filing the heads
he would smear coal tar on them SO as to
prevent the guards from seeing what ho
had done. A small ball OF tar was found
In the cell. jenkins then managed to fix
the paddock in such way that when tho
gunrd put the key in to lock it, it clicked
as IL the key had been turned, when, in
reality, it had not Jenkins had on d ball
and chain. Evidently the piece around
his leg had been broken some time III an
ticipatiOn of last nights break The only
tool found in his cell was a small piece Of
iron, resembling Il part of blacksmith's
tongs.
AN ACRoBATIC PERFORMANCE.
Though Jenkins was on the first floor it
was impossible for him to 90 directly to
the ground on account of heavy barred
doors. He accordingly won't up to the
FIFTH story and priced off q small plank In
the ceiling. Now comes the most daring
and remarkable part Of the escape Jen-
kins walked along on top of the ceiling to
the portion where it projects ovep the rest
OF the building. He then pulled up another
plank near where a large scantling ex-
tended from the roof to the ground To
Pct through that narrow hole onto the
scantling would be most hazardous
In broad daylight, but Jenkins, though q
cripple from curvature of the spine. slid
down to the ground leaving patches of his
cotton clothing on the wood as he skinned
along. How he got over the 2J-foot high
wall is not known, but he is at large.
Jenkins is a regular Jail bird He halls
from Alabama and escaped from tho
Georgia chain-gnng, to which he was SEN
fenced for twelve years. He also escaped
from the Charleston jail and this same

A TOWN MARSHAL SLAIN.
A Daredevil Negro Holds a Crowd of
Floridians at BaY.

Mobile, Ala, May 24-Mail advices
state that at Bluff Springs, Fla, Monday
afternoon George Thomas, a negro, shot
and killed Daniel Douglass, the town
marshal. Douglass and a citizen named
Thomas Boutwell, went to Highes
81 Co.'s store to arrest Thomas
for violating town ordi-
nance. Both were unarmed. The negro
surrendered, but when the three were on
the street, picked up his rifle from the
corner of fence, where he had concealed
it, and shot Marshal Doug
lass through the heart. He
also fired several shots at
Boutwell,, who escaped by running. Some
citizens approaching, Thomas drove them
away with shots from his rife. A son of
the marshal, hearing the shooting and
seeing that his father had been murdered,
fired pistol at the negro five times with
out result. The negro reloaded his gun
and took refuge in Escambia swamp. A
posse was raised and started in pursuit.
but up to last night had not found any
trace of the negro. 1t is supposed that
