SUSAN B. STORER.

The late Mrs. Susan 3. Storer had
been for ten years an inmate Of Trinity
Church home, where she died Wednes-
day, aged eighty-five years. She had
been almost totally blind for the past
seven or eight years, and for long
time she had been gradually failing.
She had been for over sixty years a
member Of the First Methodist church,
and she had always been highly re-
spected and esteemed by all who knew
her.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at 2.30 o'clock from the Trinity
Church home and Rev. G. S. Eldridge,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
will be the officiating clergyman, assist
ed by Rev, Charles o. Scoville, curate
Of Trinity Episcopal church. The inter-
ment will be in the family plot belong
ing to the Storer family in the Grove
street cemetery.
Before Mrs. Storer's marriage in
March, 1887, she was Miss Susan 3.
Westcott. She was born and brought
up in this city, and so was her husband
Samuel Storer. About three months
after she was married her husband was
given the command of a ship belonging
to the Clark family in this city, Tt
sailed between New Haven and the
West indies. In June, 1887, it left this
port with cargo of goods for such des-
tination and it had crew of about
twenty persons, among them being
three widows sons of this city, who
were the sole support of their mothers.
The vessel was never heard from. Mrs.
Storer had many chances to marry
again, but all these she refused and
was faithful to the memory of her de-
parted husband up to the day of her
death.

A Thrilling Runaway.

y thrilling runaway occurred Friday
evening on Bloom and Mill streets,
serious results being prevented only
by the plucky action of DR.. Beeber
Vastine in clinging to the reins until
he had stopped the mad run of the
horses. DR.. Harry NJ. Sober, who was
with DR.. Vastine in the buggy, was
thrown out at his own office, but was
fortunate in escaping injury.
While Drs Nastine and Sober We're
driving down Bloom street, above the
Reading railroad, the strap attached
to the collars of the horses broke. The
animals became frightened and dash
ed down the hill at a rapid rate. They
could not be controlled because the
collars had slipped nearly over their
heads. Several collisions were mar
rowly averted and the wide turn made
into Mill street forced the horses over
to the west curb.
Ii was then that DR.. Sober was
thrown out, but he managed to save
himself from being hurt. After get
ting away from the curb the horses
continued their swift run south on
Mill street DR.. Vastine got them
under control and succeeded in stop
ping them at the canal bridge. The
buggy was not damaged.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has de-
cided to have four steps on its pas
senger coaches instead of three steps,
as heretofore and all coaches built aft
er this date will have four steps.

Stack Painters Close Call,

Charles Askins, a tinsmith employ
ed at the stove works, met with an
adventure Saturday afternoon which
has impressed upon his mind the i'm
portance of exercising due caution
when working at a height above
ground.
He was engaged in painting the
sixty-five foot smoke stack at the
works. \ succession of rungs riveted
10 the stack on the outside form a lad
der from the bottom 10 the top. In
painting, however, ii Is impossible TO
reach every point OF the surface from
the ladder and swinging seat i used
suspended from a hook holding on TO
the top of the stack.
The man began work at the very
top. The swinging seat with the rope
gear had been used on previous occa-
sions and was supposed to be perfectly
safe. Mr.. Askins Is unable to explain
why he took the precaution, but in be-
ginning his work while seated upon
the swinging seat and using the brush
with his right hand he Clutched one of
the rungS with his left hand and kept
one foot on one OF the rungs lower
down. Ii was this that saved his life
Without a moments warming the
rope, weakened, no doubt, by age. snap
ped in two and the seat along with the
pot Of paint attached to it dropped
from beneath the painter and fell TO
the ground sixty feet below. Mr..
Askins considers this one of the clos
est calls of his life. y moment later
he would have swung around to the
opposite side of the stack where the
rungs are out of reach.
