ACCIDENTJON THE RIVER.
Twe RowboaU io Collision Four Men
Narrowly Escape Drowning An
Exciting Episode.
In the middle of the Cape Fear, off
the foot of Dock street yesterday
was enacted an exciting episode in
which several men stood a lively
chance of going to the bottom of the
river, i 'apt . Eben Harker with a crew
of fishermen was in a boat trying to
get a tow from the tug Jacob Brandow
which was pulling the British schooner
Leonard Parker out to sea. Enoch
Griffin, colored, and another colored
man, were also trying to get the bene
fit of an easy ride down the river.
The two boats fouled each other with
the result that Capt. Harker s boat
was overturned and Griffin's was
placed in such peril that its occupants
were compelled to abandon it and
seek safety oil the schooner by means
of lines thrown them. Of the men in
the overturned boat Capt. Harker and
John Martin succeed in getting into
the boat abandoned by Griffin. The
others were hauled aboard the
schooner and were carried down the
river as far as Kidder's mill where
they were overtaken by a skiff manned
by William Allen and others and
brought back to the city. Eight or
ten dollars worth of provisions were
lost from Capt. Harker's boat.
CAPTURED BUT ESCAPED.
Mr. Jake Solomon Has a Lively Tussle
With a Negro Thief on Dock Street.
A young colored buck who thought
he would get a bicycle lamp without
paying for it last night by stealing it
from a wheel in front of S. & B. Solo
mon's shoe store on Market street, got
more than he bargained for. A little
boy who works in the store saw the
attempted theft and pave the informa
tion to the owner of the wheel, Mr.
Jake Solomon. Mr. Solomon gave
chase to the negro and followed him
into the alley just south of Poezolt's
tailoring establishment. The negro
halted, and, drawing a knife, threatened
to cut his pursuer, who answered
by knocking him down. Then the
would-be-thief got himself together
again and made another effort to get
away. Mr. Solomon, like grim, fate
was gaining on him, however, and
again he showed fight only to get an
other blow in the face that made him
see stars. Finally, in front of Mr. T.
J. Gore's store on Water and Dock
streets, the negro was finally cornered
and taken inside of the store where he
was placed in charge of two colored
men. These, while waiting for an
officer, let the prisoner go and the last
attempt to catch him was not so suc
cessful as the first.
In the scuffle Mr. Solomon had a
gash three or four inches long cut in
his vest and also a knife thrust made
in one of his shoes. But he doesn't
mind this as he has the satisfaction of
knowing that the darkey was very
thoroughly and deservingly thrashed.
