Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN,
March 81, 1889.

William Forrest had narrow escape
yesterday from being ground to pieces be-
meath the wheels Of an electric car. Forrest
had been to Wilmington and decided to
stand oil the rear platform in order to get
tho fresh air. Passengers in tho car saw by
the unsteady WY In which ho stood on
the platform that ho had been visitor to
Frogtown and that tho effect Of tho brew
cd hops left him rather groggy. As the
car approached the dyke bridge Con,iuct
or Clough entered aud left Forrest stand
ing OH the rear platform. In e moment
tho conductor heard 1ady scream and
upon turning around saw Forrest so hoad-
formcst off tho tsr.
AS soon as possible the car was stopped
and taken back to where tho man had
taken the tumble. Ho was found lying
between the track and the fence on his
back with both arms stretched out. At
first the crew thought that tho man was
dead. He waa picked up and taken into
thu Ger where he soon recovered. AS
Forrest fell off the car head foremost his
feet struck the end Of the car causing him
TO make sonersault. He told the con-
ductor that he imagined that he was GEL
ting off the car ut Fourth street 1t is
safe to say that drunken men will not ride
hereafter on The rear platform. Hud The
man fallen off as tho Car crossed the high
bridge he would bo under the care of

Jshn Sheridan was. fortunate enough
yesterday to recover his boat which had
been carried away in the storm on Sunday
afternoon. Tho beat escaped with few
slight injuries and was found on mud
bank west Of the jetty. The oars were
landed on the joty and strange to say de-
spite the ferceness Of the storm not even
the scoop was lost.
And the coat came back. Some mouths
ago 1t was reported that an overcoat be-
longing to Lewis Hushebeck and a gun be.
longing to Jerry Cornish had been stolen.
Soon after that 1t was whispered that 1t
was tho work Of practical joker But
there were others and they moved the
goods .nnd tho joke came out at tho wrong
end Of the horn. The articles finally turn
