List Saturday one of the dump scOws
conveying dirt excavated from the chan
mel sank in about thirty feet Of water. 1t
was caused by letting out the dirt from
one end causing the other end to settle
down until the water ran into the hatch.
which had been opened for the purpose
of clearing her of water with siphon,
and the hatch had not been refastened.
The steam barge Davidson started

Last Saturday young lad named Ed
ward Boulwin, aged about seven years,
lost his life by drowning. The accident
happened ut Macarthur Smith & Co.'S
dock where he and young boy named
K, Ear were playing. 1t seems young
Boudwin was attempting to get an apple
that was floating in the river, and lost
his balance and fell i'm. Young Kezar
was so badly frigh' ened that he gave no
alarm until the boy was sinking the third
time. Joseph Cueny. in charge of Nc
ArlhurSmith e. Co.'S, dock, undertook to
recover the body by diving but could not
succeed in finding il and it was afterwards
recovered with grapples. but after it had
been in the water too long for resuscita-
