The returns from the democratic county conventions in Ohio Saturday indicated a victory for free silver. Some county con- ventions adopted resolutions condemning Senator Brice’s financial views. Other counties that selected free silver delegates indorsed Brice, and nearly all indorsed James E. Campbell for governor. The counties selecting free silver dele- gates were: Lake, Lawrence, Seneca, Muskingum, Medina, Fayette, Highland and Jackson. For “sound money”: Madison, Vinton, Portage and Summit. The dele- gates from Auglaize, Delaware, Cuyahoga and Trumbull counties are divided. The silver men claim they will control the con- vention, but the Brice men do not concede it. Seven Were Drowned. A terrible accident took place about six miles above Ocean City, Md., Saturday, by whick seven people were drowned, Their mames are: Luella Hall, aged fourteen years; Lina Hall, aged sixteen years; daughters of Elijah Hall.

No members of Storers’ immediate family are alive today, while.Saturday morning a merry fishing party of 'tén started out from the shore in Assawomiin bay, and for a while, with a light breeze and Capt. Walter Hudson at the helm, evérything was well. Suddenly a puff of $wind struck the sail and as the little boat keeled over the oc- cvpants, in their excitement, rushed to the high side, causing it to capsize to the wind- ward. All were instantly struggling in the water. soe -——__ Army Orders. The follo-ring transfers in the thirteenth infantry are made: Second Lieut. Fred- erick W. Fuger, from company I to com- pany F.

Paine, from in the fourth AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN ‘Two Cases of Drowning; One in the Potomac and the Other in the Canal. Many Fatalitics in That Section of the City This Summer—Mr. Chase’s Funeral. A lad just sixteen years of age met his death yesterday at 5 o'clock in the upper Potomac. He was Robey Priddy, son of a clerk in the pension office, residing at No. 7 H street northwest. The boy could not swim and asked a couple of his companions to teach him. The water is deep at the point selected, and the swimmers were fearful that an accident might happen. Robey persisted. Then, in the presence of three others of their own crowd, the boy was taken out in 20 feet of water about 300 feet to the southwest of the “Three Sis- ters.” Robey got along well with assist- ance, not hesitating to go out 20 feet from the shore. He was supported on either side by Geo. Mahon and Chas. Howell. As the shoreward turn was made young Prid- day's head went partly under. There was much spluttering and twisting. Unlike most all who do not know how to swim, and when in a similar situation, the boy kept his mouth open. This filled and a vio- lent struggle began. With all his might he pulled at his companions, throwing his arms about their necks and bodies. This weakened them, and they began to strug- gle. For a time those on shore thought the whole trio would sink. Then Priddy became exhausted and lessened his strug- gles. This was the salvation of Mahon and Howell and the end of Priddy. The youth sank for good a moment later. Consterna- tion reigned in the crowd for a time. The boys were greatly frightened and the police were notified. The body was recovered by Robert Gol- den, Craven King and Dectective Frank Burrows and taken to the home of the dead boy's parents. Georgetown this summer has already had eight drowning fatalities—five in the river and three in the canal. Young Cotter, who was killed at Four- mile Run, and young Blundon, who also met death through the steam cars on the Baltimore and Ohio road, were also George- towners. Eugene Stanton, Frank Gray, Thomas Cotter and young Blundon were all under seventcen years of age. The witnesses to the Priddy drowning are G. T. Mahon, Chas. Howell, Chas. O. Paxton, G. W. Cook and F. S. Howell. Found Floating In the Canal. James Falkener, sr., at 2 o'clock yester- day discovered the body of a colored man floating in the canal near the foot of 34th street, near the spot where young Eugene Stanten was drewned two or three weeks ago. The body was, after some difficulty, landed, and a crowd gathered to view it. For a considerable time the corpse remain- ed unidentified. Finally Capt. John H. Twigg of the coal beat Muskegon came up- on the scene and recognized it as the re- mains of Geo. E. Brown, an employe on his boat. Brown had been last seen get- ting.on the boat at about 10 o'clock the previous night. He was under the influ- ence of liquor—unusually so. He rocked from side to side, and had but little con- trol over his movements. The outside of the middle cabin was made for, and the man lay down. In the night he probably began to roll about. His condition border- ing on the unconscious, the presence of danger was not realized. A gradual move- ment or a sudden toss took him over the side of the boat into the canal. The man no doubt sank easily, his condition con- tributing to his death largely. The body went under the boat, and finally drifted out in_the afternoon, when it was discovered. Jacob S. Lowery, John H. Twigg, James Falkener, sr., and James Falkener, jr., tes- tified to the finding of the body at the sta- tion. At 5 o'clock Deputy Coroner Glazebrook viewed the body and ordered it to be sent to the sixth precinct station, and there kept a reasonable time for identification by relatives. It is believed that Brown's friends live in Alexandria, Mr. Chase's Funeral. The funeral of Mr. Samuel M. Chase, late sexton of Christ Church, took place yesterday afternoon from Mt. Zion M. E. Church. The remains, which lay in the church from 1 to 3 o'clock, were viewed by over one thousand persons. At the serv- ices over fifteen hundred were in attend- arce, including the Odd Fellows and mem- bers of the Christ Church congregation. Rev. S. Aiken Lewis of Mt. Zion and Dr. Stuart of Christ Church officiated. The interment was in Mt. Zion cemetery. A Ronawey. The horses attached to George S. Owens’ ice wagon ran away yesterday from in front of 3152 P strect, tore down 32d street and collided with Justice Johnson’s bay office window. The latter suffered a smash- up. —_._—_ T CUT THE TREES. No Permit to Be Given the Telephone Company. An important question has just been set- tled, relative to the right of the telephone company to cut the trees of the city for the accommodation of its wires. When the east side of 7th street, between Marshall street and Whitney avenue was decided upon, the telephone company was required to moye its poles. This was done, although wken it came to stringing its wires, some difficulty was experienced because of the trees. It became necessary, in order to ac- commodate the wires, to cut away some of the foliage. The trees were the individual property of the property owners, and the telephone company was cautioned by them not to interfere with the trees. It was nec- essary to string the wires, and as the trees projected into the public streets, application was made to the Commissioners for permis- sion to cut away such branches as hung over the street in order to accommodate the wires. This brought up a legal ques- tion, and the attorney for the District was requested io give an opinion. It is under- stcod he advised the Commissioners that while they had a right to cut the trees if they interfered with the public's use of the street, they had no right to authorize a corporation to cut them for its own advan- tage. Following the opiion the Commis- sioners have decided not to issue a permit allowing the cutting of the trees. eS Mrs. Shorter Wants a Divorce. A suit in equity was filed today by Vic- toria Shorter against John Shorter for di- yorce. The couple were married July 8, 1888, and one child, now six years of age, was born to them, and is now in the cus- tody of its mother, the petitioner. It is al- leged that on the night of April 14, 1895, the defendant, without cause, assaulted the complainant, who only escaped with her life by calling help. eS Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses were today Issued to George C. Miller of Crawfcrd county, Ohio, and Amy L. Robinson of Van Buren coun- ty, Michigan; William Wallace Foster and Jessie Catharine Parker of Washington, D. ¢.; Allen B. Clark and Lola L.

The police department is on the lookout for “Toots” Dudley for assault on Nettie Armistead, a colored domestic who has been living at 235 Wilson street. Nettie is now lying at Freedman’s Hospital. Her case has been pronounced hopeless by the physicians, and her death is expected with- in a few duys. Since being received at the hospitai the injured woman has been able to give the name of her assailant, “foots” Dudiey, and stated that the quarrel originated on her refusal to allow another woman to wear her hat. Nettie Armistead was discovered lying in a gutter at the corner of 4th and Wilson Streets at midnight a week from last Sat- urday. She was taken to Freedmen’s Hos- pital, and it was found she had been struck on the head with a stone or brick. Her skull was fractured in several places. There were several witnesses to the as- sault. One witness said that Dudley, who had been living with the Armistead wo- man, and who had cast her off, wanted her to allow the Ford woman te wegr her hat. The Armistead woman declined, and re-- buked her quondam lover for deserting her. Her remarks increased the brute’s rage, and he picked up a half brick and brought it down with crushing force on the wo- man’s head, just above the right temple. While the woman lay cn the ground an- other man, named Nelson, who accom- panied Dudley, kicked her in the stomach several times. The physicians at the hospital today said that while the womar’s injuries would doubtless prove fatal, she may live for sev- eral days. ——————— The Eckington Camp Mecting.
