A DOUBLE TRAGEDY Two Young People Drowned in Eastern - Branch. Generally Believed to Have Been an Accident—The Bodies Recovered —Buth Were Well Known. A sad affair, by which two young people of Anacostia, Miss Katie Canter and Irving Lysles, lost their lives by drowning, occur- red yesterday afternoon in the Eastern branch of the Potomac river, opposite Buz- zard’s Point. Both victims were well known in Anacostia, where both were members of the choir of Emmanuel Prot- estant Episcopal Church, and both were universally popular. Rumors of a probable suicide on the part of each have been freely circulated in Ana- costia, but careful investigation failed to substantiate such a theory, and there are no grounds for believing that the dreadful affair was other than an accideut. Miss Canter and young Lysles occupied their usual places in the choir of Emmanuel Church yesterday morning, and after the conclusion of the church services agreed to take a boat ride on the river in the after- noon. Accordingly, between 1:30 and 2 o’clock they left Miss Canter’s home on Fillmore street near Jefferson, where she resided with her father and stepmother, her own mother being dead, and went to French’s boat house, foot of 11th street, Southeast Washington, where they hired a fiat-bottomed boat. Lysles remarked to Mr. French,- when engaging the boat, that he preferred one of that sort, as he did not Want one that would easily turn over. No attention was paid to the remark, except to comply with the request, as inexperi- enced persons who go boating often select similar boats. On the way to the boat house the young, couple met some friends to whom they spoke, and Lysles and Miss Canter both seemed to be in the best of spirits. Seating themselves in the boat that Mr. French furnished them, Lysles took the oars and rowed a long distance down the river. On their way back and when nearly opposite Buzzard’s Point, the unfortunate young people were seen to rise in the boat sud- denly, and almost immediately both went into the river. An Eye Witness. So far es is known, James 8. Martin, a young man who has lived his entire life in Anacostia, and knew Miss Canter and Lysles well, was the only witness of the tragedy. Martin had also been down the river in a boat and was returning to Ana- costia, and when about 200 yards distant, saw the mevement which preceded the fall into the river of the young couple. Martin hurried to the substation at Ana- costia, where he told Sergt. Kerby and others that as soon as he saw Miss Canter and Lysles leave the boat he hastened to the scene. Miss Canter did not, he said, come to the surface at all, but Lysles rose twice, and once seized hold of the boat. Even then Martin was too far away to ren- der Lysles any assistance, and catching “the boat, which was about to float away, towed it to French’s boat house, where it belonged. There it wgs found to contain Miss Canter’s hat and parasol, which were properly taken care of. One Body Found. Sergt. Kerby at once reported the facts to Lieut. McCathran, at the fifth precinct station house, and as quickly as possible the police boat Joe Blackburn, with Har- bor Master Sutton in charge, proceeded to the place where it was supposed the bodies were. After several hours’ search that of Miss Canter was found a short distance from where she went down, and brought to the surface, and then taken on board the vessel. The boat conveyed the remains to the 7th street wharf, where Coroner Hammett was communicated with, and a little later were carried by an undertaker to Miss Canter’s late home. The news of the double drowning spread through Anacostia like wild fire, and by the time Miss Canter’s body reached her father’s house a large crowd of people had assembled in front of the place. Among them were a number of ladies who were personally acquainted with the dead girl, and they were so affected by the sight of the dripping garments as the body was carried in and the knowledge of her sad end that some narrowly escaped fainting and there were many whose eyes became dimmed with tears at the scene before them. As soon as the body of Miss Canter had been put in a proper place on shore Harbor Master Sutton returned with the Joe Black- burn and her crew and renewed the search for the body of Lysles, but up to 10 p.m., when the attempts to recover it were abandoned for the night, it had not been found. The search was renewed this morning, and finally resulted in success. A Great Loss. As has been already said, Miss Canter was universally popular, She was also quite pretty, and her manners were such as to cause her to be a welcome visitor in any home. She was a daughter of Mr. George Canter, who has been employed in the navy yard for many years. Her step- mother is employed at the pension office and Miss Katie, who was just budding into womanhood, had the care of the househol? affairs. The Canter family has been greatly afflicted lately. A little more than a month ago Mrs. Downing, a sister of Mr. Canter, was taken ill at her home in Washington, and a second sister, Mrs. Rol- lins, went from her former home near Hughesville, Charles county, Maryland, to nurse her. | M: owning died and ‘her death was followed by that of Mrs. Rollins the next day. Lysles was just past his elghteenth year. He was a plumber by trade and worked for a Washington house. He was a nice look- ing fellow and was regarded as one of the best young men in Anacostia. He resided with his mother, Mrs. Robert Perkins,at 321 Monroe street. Both families are comple: ly prostrated by the sudden bereavement which has befallen them. Ne Cause for Suicide. The young couple were acquainted from childhood, and it 1s understood were en- gaged to be married. There was, so far as is known, no oppositicn to the match from either side, and the weddfng was postponed only until such time as Lysles could earn a sufficient sum to enable him to properly care for his wife. Probable Cause. There seems to have been no reason whatever why Miss Canter and Lysles should wish to put an end to themselves, and the theory advanced today by an old waterman in reference to the matter seems to be the correct one. This was that Lysles had become tired while rowing and men- t tioned the fact to Miss Canter. She prob- ably expressed a willingness to take the oars, and they rose to exchange places. They met about midway of the boat, and in attempting to pass the craft rocked and both were thrown into the river. Coroner Hammett visited Anacostia to- day, and will decide whether or not an in- Quest shall be held Both Bodies. The body of young Lysles was recovered by the crew of the Jce Blackburn about 10:30 o'clock this morning in exactly the same spot as that from which the body of Miss Canter was taken last evening. One of the men on the boat who assisted in the dragging said that he felt ‘certain that his hook caught the young man’s clothing twic? yesterday, but that he was unable to retain the hold. Coroner Hammett visited Anacostia to- day, and, after a thorough examination into all the circumstances, decided that there was no reason to hold an inquest, as fhe was convinced that the drownings were entirely accidental. The arrangements for the funerals have not been fully completed, but it is unde: stood that it will be a double one and will take place tomorrow from Emmanuel Church, to which the remains will be car- ried from the late homes of the deceased. The services will be conducted by the rec- tor of the church, Rev. W. G. Davenport, and the bodies will be placed side by side in the Congressional cemetery. Mr. Canter, father of the dead girl, said today that his daughter had often express- ed a wish that after death her body should be taken to the church and permitted to remain there all night previous to inter- Scott's Emulsion is not a secret remedy. It is simply the purest Norway Cod- liver Oil, the finest Hypophos- phites, and chemically pure Glyc- erine, all combined into a perfect Emulsion so that it will never change or lose its integrity. This is the secret of Scott’s Emulsion’s great success. It is the happy combination of these most valuable ingredients, materially increasing their po- tency; hence the great value of Scott’s Emulsion in wasting dis- eases.

A special feature would be the work of the trained nurses from the medical department. Grumbling From the “Bleachers.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: The season of protesting against the base ball management has come around again, because, forsooth, the season of manag- erial greed and inefficiency has itself come around once more. Base ball absurdity and base ball injustice are as sure to come to Washington as Congress. Therefore, let me put in my complaint, along with those perhaps of many others who were treated to the same dose on Saturday last. I ar- rived at the grounds at 3:45 o'clock. I went because I was curious to witness the per- formances of that wonderfui pennant-win- ning team gathered together by Napoleon Schmelz for the season of 1895. I am aware that an apology is due from any one who went out to the grounds, and therefore this statement. At 3:45 o'clock, the game being scheduled for 4:30, the gates to the 25-cent seats were closed. In- quiry of the attendant disclosed the fact that the gates had been closed because all the 25-cent seats had been sold. That was a very commendable thing to do. ‘That in- sured the people who had bought 25-cent seats immunity from further crowding. With a feeling of pride in the just men whom Washington possess as her base ball magnates, I cheerfully paid 50 cents for a seat no better than those that were sold ahead of me for 25 cents, and finally found a seat on the second row, in what would ordinarily have been a good position. After a season of self-congratulation that I, being an early bird, had caught a worm, I was chagrined to find that the same policy that had been pursued with regard to the 25-cent seats had not been carried out on the more expensive side of the field, and that after every seat had been taken 60-cent tickets were sold in such abundance that the people came crowding into the field, filling the ground in front of the 50-cent ats, and there standing vntil, when play was begun, it was utterly impossible for those on the lower rows to see anything without standing up. This, of course, nec tated the elevation of those above my position, and so it went, until the greed of the management, the in- efficiency of the police, who could have prevented the nuisance if they had tried, and the thoughtlessness of the people them- selves, produced the result of every man who had paid half a dollar for a seat no better than a 25-cent seat was in effect deprived of that seat by being forced to Stand throughout the game in order to see a single play. The early bird had missed the worm and had found a stone instead. Consistency is such a jewel that it would have blazed with brilliant light on Satur- day afternoon. The whole program was so palpably apparent after the crowds had begun to swarm over the field that is was disgusting—to say nothing of the antics of the “great team of colts” accumulated by the aforesaid Napoleon Schmeiz. There is cne great consolation in all this: Never again this season will those who are run- ning the alleged team have a chance to gouge the public as that long-suffering assortment of individuals were gouged on Saturday. N. _ BASS FREELY BITING. Excellent Reports of Good Sport to Be Enjoyed Up at Woodmont. The members of the Woodmont Rod and Gun Club are in a state of pleasurable ex- citement over the reports, brought down this morning by Col. Myron M. Parker, of the ravenous way in which the bass are biting in the Potomac at the preserves of the club, Col. Parker caught sixteen large bi in two days last week, while Col. Dick Bright caught the same number in a single day. Senator Hawley and Gen. Ordway also had excellent luck. The anglers are accordingly getting their tackle in order and Woodmont will probably be thickly populated with fishermen from now until the bass cease being hungry. es Columbian Alumni Dinner.
