Between six and seven o'clock last even
ing,a young man, named Samuel Granville,
was drowned in Sylvan Water, between the
new c., r. l, & P. railroad roundhouse
and the boarding house of Ira c. Peck, on
the bank of the stream above the round
house.
From parties who witnessed the acct
dent, and also from the testimony of
the witnesses before the coroner's jury
the following facts are learned
Granville, in company with two young
men, named Oven Shields and Albert
Foster, started ont in a sktf for boat ride
on Sylvan Water. After going "a short dis
tance from shore they discovered that the
skiff leaked and was rapidly filling with
water. The wind was blowing pretty
strong at the time and as the boat filed
and settled the waves would dash over the
sides. They started for shore. and when
within aboat 80 feet from it the boat eth
er sunk or was turned over, and the whole
party found themselves in the water.
While in the boat Foster claims to have
asked his companions if they could swim,
and that Granville had said yes, and
Shields that he could not Foster there
fore paid no attention to Granville but as
sisted Shields to the shore. Just before
reaching land he heard Granville calling
for help Mr.. Peck heard the cries and
running to the river threw several boards
to the drowning boy, but he failed to secure
them. Peck then ran to the round house

The Union MAJ Has a Poor Memory


The Jnioa, iu its malicious desire to
censure Aid. Lundy, resorts to falsehoOd.
1t says:
As we anticipated, THE Argus tries to relieve
Al Interim Lundy OF lis Odium of carrying little
tales TO the editorial room, by claiming that the
paragraphs were written by one Of lite editors who
attended the meeting The editor in question had
left the room when Lundy made his comment on
the words let drop by Alderman Carse. and this
comment wac given in the next days ARGUS.
The ARGUS has made no allusian 20 any
CONNER made by AID Lundy, and
knows nothing about any comment made
by him, - Blu. if the Union wishes to be
understood that 'the editor in question
had left the room" when AID. Car1e made
his comment" the Union does not tell
the truth. The comments of Aid CarSe,
referred to in THE ARGUS, were made 10y
him publicly, when the board was IN
session, and the editor in question" was
present at the time and heard them and
wrote the paragraphs which so disturbed
the editor having seven years ex.
perience. Aid. Carse not only made the
remarks attributed to him, publicly, when
the board was in session, but after the
board had adjoured he repeated them in
the council room, in presence of 'the
editor in question" and before he had left
for home. What occurred after tine
editor in question" had left the room he
does not know nor has he attempted to re-
late anything which he did not personally
hear, in the council room, and while the
board was in session.
The Union would play in a more honor
able role by retracting its falsehoods about
Aid. Lundy, than by trying to bolster then
up with new ones.
