II WAS NEARLY DEATH.
John HeIlcn, Jr. and Samuel Wey
of Dover, Had u Narrow
lScaDc,

On Thursday morning Mr. John B.
Bchen, Jr., Frank X. Burns and Samuel
Wcyl, had a narrow escape from drown
ing during cunning trip this week.
They started on this trip last Tuesday,
carrying with them sufficient ammuni-
ton and clothing, also large dog which
was to hunt the game. Having reached
Bay View they took up quarters near
Salmons ditch and after waiting while,
Mr.. Beben and Mr.. Weyl struck out in
a small skiff accompanied by their dogs.
During the afternoon the wind
began to rise and the fog became
so dense that the men could hardly see
their hands before them.
The dog. which was anxious to 60 for
the game, jumped out Of the boat, and in
doing 50, owing to his great strength up
set the boat, throwing both Bchen and
Wcyl into the water.
The two men were placed in Il sad
pigh', rs they We're in waite" and mud to
ti,c dc pah of nearly six feet Rehen had
on two heavy cunning jackets beside Il
plir of hip gum boots, with belt at
tachcd to them around the waist, and
every imc he made an effort to pull him
self oft Of the mud he would sink
d'eper.
Finally, na,izing his pcrilons
situation, he took his knife
and cut the belt holding his boots,
also ripping his boot l"g+ open, thus
enabling himself t" gain solid ground.
Echan and Wryl by this time were
fairly drcnchcd. They pulled grass and
attempted to build a bonfire, hoping thus
to attract the attention Of their co1nran-
ions, but their matches were wet and
they could not strike Il light.
At $50 p. m. Messrs. Ennis and Burns,
who supposed that Mcssrs; Behcn and
Ware had been drowned and were
searching for their bodies, found the un
fortunate couple and took them to the
shanty.
NIeSsls. Bphcn and Ware were brought
to Dover on Wednesday. The former is
now confined to his bed with pneumonia
and his condition is considered serious.

NANAMAK[R 70 CONE HERE
Rumor That He Will Establish
a Department Store.
LOCALITIES BEING CONSIDERED
Concensus Of Opinion is That il Would
Be Of Immense Advantage to
Wilmington.

Is Wilmington to have n large depart
ment store? 1t is if the rllmors, sup
ported in u measure by the statements of
thosa approached in the matter, are OF
any significance.
The agitation in relation to stop-ovcr
privileges, while it may not have nro'ls-
ed certain Wimingtonians, has without
doubt impressed those living outside of
this city with the fact that business en-
terprise demands summary action in this
connection, and it has been learned that
certain individuals interested in the real
estate business have for the past few
weeks been quietly conducting negotia-
tions with the idea of acquiring ground
for the erection Of a large dcpartmcn mt
store in this city.
1t is asserted that the man who desires
to locate in Wilmington is no less a per-
sonage than ex-Postmaster-Gcneral John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, who last
year startled the business community OF
this country by buying out the estab-
lshmcnt Of Hilton, Hughes 4 Co., of
New York. which was first established
by the late A. T. Stewart.
In these negotiations two blocks are
concerned and the most advantageous
will be selected.
One is that bounded by Ninth, Tenth,
Shipley and Orange, the other by Fifth,
Sixth, King and French.
Mr.. Maurice p. Sattcrthwaitc, chair
man of the Board of Trade committee
having charge of the matter Of stpp-over
privileges, when spoken to in relation to
the rllmor that the proprietor of the
Grand Depot contemplated locating a
branch establishment in Wilmington,
said that he had been advised of the in
tentirn several weeks ago, although
nothing Of a positive nature had been
suggested 10 him.
With regard to the advantage or dis
advantage which would accrue to the
city should the report be true, Mr..
Satterthwatc stated t hat in his opinion
it would prove to be OF inca!cnlable bene-
fit by reason of the impetus it would
give to business interests generally,
aside from the vast amount Of money
which would be expended here by those
who habituaI|y 90 to Philadelphia.
Women especially, said Mr. Satterth-
waite, are prone to visit Philadelphia for
the purpose Of viewing the displays in
the large stores, and if Mr. Wanamakcr
locates an establishment such as suggest
ed in this city, it will serve to keep trade
ut home, and especially those who come
L here from the various peninsula towns.
n Mr. Satterthwaite stated further that
#g|he was inclined to put more faith in the
Sfstory at this time because the locations
lsAhamed were adequate for the purpose
whereas previous rnmors sug-
%kested localities in which it would be
: Impossible to establish a store Of any
&kreat pretensions.
M 1t is well-known that since one of the
barge Philadelphia houses established a
Nbranch in Wilmington that other
SQuaker City merchants have viewed with
Miealousy the success which has attended
Bthe venture, and it is believed if John
EWanamaker is serious in the matter that
others will be constrained to locate here
&also.

The expression giTer to the piece was the admiration oi all and several of the audience stated that they found themselves al the close involuntarilY starting tC give her an encore, when the propr; -ety of applauding at aSundsy even ing concert presented itself to theil minds.
