The Thrilling Escape of Two Young
Men from Drowning.

EEIDSVILLE, y. c., July 6.-(Special)-
While returning from the funeral Of their
grandfather, Mr.. Harrison Spencer, at
Spencer, Va, on yesterday, Mr.. Charles
A. Penn and his younger brother, Har-
rison, had a narrow escape from drown
ing. They We're driving a double team,
and when about ten miles from this place
came 10 what is usually a small creek,
but which, owing 10 the heavy down
pour Of rain yesterday. was very much
swollen. 1t was very dark, but thinking
they could make the ford, they drove in.
Instantly the team was swept down by
the torrent, the buggy overturned, and
both occupants thrown under They man
aged to swim out, however and found
that their horses were pinned down by
the trees, etc. only their noses being
above the surface. With rare presence
Of mind, Mr.. Penn resorted TO his knife.
and, at the risk of being swept away
cut the traces and. aided by his brother
managed to get the horses out. The
buggy was abandoned, and the boys made
IL home bareback through the storm. The
buggy was found to-day. and is a wreck.

HERCuLANEUM WAS ATTACHED.
The Chorus boys wouldn't Accent
Partial settlement.


The scenery and effects OF Hercuianeum
have been attached, and the show is now
to very great extent In the hands or
the Henrico constabulary. though II pro-
badly will not so remain very long.
Saturday night Messrs. G.. W. Thomas,
c. A. Radford, r. f. V. Fara, G. l. Evans
J. Overton Sale, Jr, and @. j. Jones sued
out attachments against Messrs. }. T..
Mullen. David Fratal. and W. +. wise,
proprietors Of the Herculaneum, and Con-
stable Mann forthwith took possession.
The young men alleged that their sala-
ries as chorus boys had not been paid,
but Messrs. Wise ct ais. say that the
reason the salaries were not forthcoming
was that the young men would not ac-
cept them. Each chorus boy or girl en-
ployed was given a ticket OF admission,
which was to be punched each night as
he entered the gate, and each punch
showed that he was entitled to 81 for
services rendered. When seven such
punches had been put In the tickets of the
young men who attached the show they
demanded their money. They were Of
fered s. each, with another ticket with
one punch i'm 1t. and IL was explained TO
them that IT was customary with the
show managers TO settle with the en-
ployees on a weekly basis. They de-
clned. however to accept the S. and sued
out the attachments.
Mr. Wise said last night that the show
would be presented again tonight for
the last time in Richmond, and that before
leaving the city he would settle every
dollar of his Indebtedness.
