A Sad Drowning Case.

One of the saddest cases of drowning
that has occurred lately in this vicinity,
occurred yesterday, just below New Cas-
tie, the victim being joseph, youngest
son and child OF Mr.. and N rs. James
Morrow.
Since vacation, the young man had been
spending his time at the farm of his IA
ther near Newark. Yesterday he In
company with number Of young friends
about his own age conceived the idea of
having a pic mic, and early In the MORN
Ing they met at a place about two miles
below New castle.
During the morning the unfortunate
victim together with several OF mis- COM
panions, went into the river for the
purpose of bathing. The tide being low
at the time, every thing passed Off with
out an accident.
Later in The atterneon they again
decided to go in. and young Morrow,
who could not swim, made no allowance
for the tide rising, hut plunged in, aud
III a moment he realized his fatal mis-
take, and commenced TO sink. Two of
his companions one of them named
John Russell went to his assis ance but he
pOihS oboub tnclT tHDTtS proved 10 De Vi
no avail. Young Russell clung to him
until The drowning boy dragged him
down twice, when he was obliged TO let
go his hold, and seek his own safety.
During his struggle for life the young
man did not utter an exclamation, but
sank Out of sight for the last time with
out u terng word. Word was brought
to this city of the sad affair, and his bro
theirs immediately LETT for the sceue of
the accident, and procured help for the
purpose of searching for the body. The
body was found shortly after O'Clock
and brought to his ate homelin this city.
The unexpected taking off Of their youn-
gest child has almost cIazed his parents
and their grief can better be Imagined
than described, as he appeared to be their
pride, ,and the joy especially of his molhei.
The large number Of friends OF the fam
lily will deeply sympathize with them
In their sudden afiiiction. He was in the
l7th year of his age.

The Evening Post Slaps John
sherman I'm the Face.
Fr0m uesterday's EUeninQ Post.

~@S>'sNfs3
We are amazed to find Secretary Sher-
mans counsel in New Orleans declining
to offer testimony as to intimidation, after
all the correspondence that has been had
on the subject and after the subcommittee
has agreed to received what ever testimony
is offered. The excuse made by the coun-
sci is that because oft committees long
delay in deciding the matter another line
OF defence has been adopted. But ifit is
as important to establish the existence of
intimidation as Secretary Sherman has in
sisted that tits, there ought to be plenty of
time yet for the testimony to have full
elect. The examination at New Orleans
Is bringing out a great many witnesses
who are now ready to swear that their
former testimony about outrages was false
and although there is counter testimony
to show that some of these witnesses have
been offered practical inducements to
change their views, the situation perhaps
renders Secretary Sherman uncertain how
many OF his former witnesses can now be
depended upon. This, however, will not
excuse his abandonment of line of de-
fence on the strength and and importance
OF which he has laid 80 much stress. His
only consistent course is to call the wit
nesses whom he has named, and if they
retract their former testimony, to let the
country judge whether they are more
likely to be telling the truth now than
they were when the election troubles were
fresh.

A CHASE ANDScAPTtkE.

Yesterday afternoon on the arrival of
the $40 train north from Baltimore, the
news agent on board upon stepping off
the train found his employer awaiting
him. 1t appears that the agent was a
little short in his returns, and upon Mr..
Hassan demanding it, the agent informed
him that he could not pay. it just then.
Mr.. Hassan then called a police officer
to arrest the agent, who nad started of
on arun. The officer pursued him, final
ly found him hid in one of the coal yards.
He was taken to the City Hall, and upon
promising to pay the amount due he was
released.
