time, when they ventured along the
lighter ice in the vicinity OF the Will

the Delaware river front. Fisher broke
through the ice and was soon founder
ing in seven feet of chilly water. Mar
tin threw Fisher the end Of his scarf.
but before he could be OF any assist
ance he was drawn into the Icy water.
The lads. who ere about II years OF
age. had presence Of mind enough 10
hold on to the edges Of the ice.
George Woodruff. colored man, was
driving along the causeway In a furni-
ture wagon. and the cries Of GLADDEN.
called his attention to the danger OF
the two boys in the water.
The horses were hitched TO the fence
near the bridge. and in a short space Of
time Woodruff was along the bank OF
the creek with the reins OF the team
in his hand and had thrown the ends
to the boys.
GLADDEN., in his anxiety, rushed on the
ice again to help his companions out.
and he broke through, but in much
shalIower water. After much labor the
boys were hauled out almost exhausted.
The horses heads were turned, the boys
hustled into the wagon and hurried to
their homes, where they received dry
clothing.
The rescuer Of the lads was presented
with neat money present and good
heavy overcoat

FACILITY is PROVIDED BY THE
COMPANY TO ENHANCE THE
PLEASURES OF PATRONS.
People who delight in the invigorat-
ing exercise and sport OF skating are
now enjoying themselves at Brandy

Fourth and Market streets are crowded
daily with skaters.
There Is not in the country finer
skating ground than that one. Nor is
there one with better facilities. ad-
juncts and conveniences.
The ice is splendid the reception and
waiting rooms are warm and comfort
able. and there Is nothing wanting that
either nature or the company could
provide to make the place an ideal one
for skating
The only thing to lament is that the
ice and the good skating weather will
not continue long: which fact should
cause those who skate 10 utilize their
