A WATERY GRAVE.
ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED

Yesterday morning George Jinkins, aged seven
teen years. whose father resides on Seventh street.
between and NJ streets southeast, started on a
fishing excursion to Four-Mile run with CON-
panion, clerk in Mr.. Bates drug store, corner Of
Seventh and L streets southeast. A short time
after they arrived their destination, about II 30
o'clock, they seated themselves on rock and
commenced fishing. Young Jinkins remarked to
his companion: "Suppose one Of us was to fall In,
what would the other do" Before his friend had
time to answer, his attention was attracted by
something at the back Of the roek, and when he
turned round again young Jinkins was In the
water and beyond the reach Of his arm, and the
current was runDing so rapidly at the time that
| II was impossible, no matter how good q swimmer
be may have been, for him to render any assist
ance, and the young man sank beneath the waters
of the Potomac to rise no more alive.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon the drug
clerk returned to the city, and notified the family
of the deceased Of the sad accident, and in very
short time party Of friends were on the way to
the scene of the occurrence to search for the body
but up to late hour last night they had not re-
covered It,
The father Of the young man is employed in the
blacksmith shop at the navy yard, and by this
sad accident he has been bereft Of his only son.
The scene at the home Of the family when the sad
news arrived was indeed a pitiful one. The
mother who wes dumbfounded by the blow, could
not shed q tear, but the sisters Of the deceased
were not denied that relief, and they wept bit
| terly over the loss Of their only brother.

Sulphur Springs.
THE IMPORTANT DISCOVERY AT STAMFORD
 NEAR THE HoUsAToNIC RIVER.

We have already alluded briefly to the
 discovery of sulphur springs in Stratford
 near the Housatonic river, but the matter deserves more extended notice. The
 facts are as follows: Last spring D. M.
 Reed. of Bridgeport, and M. o. Sweze, of this city, bought farm of twenty-five or thirty acres on the west bank of the Hou- satonic river. The greater portion of this tract lies south and a small portion north of the track of the consolidated railroad
 When George Beckwith, of this city, came to survey the same for boundaries, his assistant discovered these sulphur springs.three in number Mir. Beckwith became quite interested in the matter af- ter testing the water and finding it to be a strong cathartic, with other good ele- ments. he told the proprietors of his dis covery and they immediately took meas mes to have the water analized. Since that time an analysis has been made by Professor Sylvester Wheeler, of Bridge port, the result being very satisfactory. The waters Of the springs are strongly inn pregnated, not only with sulphur, but also magnesia, iron and other mineral sub- stances. X full report of this analys!s will be duly made hereafter. Impressed by sAAAS OpAuIOu encouragement from physicians and druggists, the pro- prietors have bought q small piece of land adjoining. and leased, with the priv llege of buying, some thirty acres more One of the springs is very pleasant to the taste, while the other is thought tc be of great value for bathing. The location on bluff upon the banks of the river, is charming, and this, combined with the fact that every train on the railroad must by law stop at this point, makes it not improbable that ''Stratford on the Hon. satOnic" may yet become quite a water ing place. In fact capitalists have al. reacy offered to advance the sum necessa- " to bc used in taking advantage of the gift of nature. Tho proprietors have thoroughly cleaned ont the springs, which are now, flowing stronger than before, and will immediately begin to bottle it for use. Before long it will be for sale by our principle druggists, and as it is tln- dOubtedly of great value in purifying the blood, and has also admirable tonic prop critics, 1t cannot fail of an extensive sale. Probably the time is not far distant when a large hotel will be erected near the springs, which will be easy of access by both rail and steamboat. Palladium.
