LErART ITEMS Drowned Yes-
teiday morning July 18th, the steam
ef tow-boat Joseph Warren came up
and attempted 10 pass up over Letart
Falls, but the water being loo shall
low, she had TO give it up Shethen
tied up at the foot Of the FaIlsto wait
for more water This evening while
several Of the hands were bathing,
with their clothes on, some Of them
started to swim across the river,
through the rough waves made by
the fall in the river against the
earnest protest Of the Capt, John a.
Wood. Austin Jourdan, deck-hand,
becoming exhausted or cramped,
called for the yawl. Capt Wood and
fireman started in the yawl;as they
were passing a high barge a third
man jumped from it into the bottom
Of the yawl, causing it to spring a
leak, and before they got half way to
the drowning man the yawl sank.
and before another yawl could get to
him, he sank the lasttime. The sec
ond yawl picked up the crew Of the
sunken yawl and took to the shore.
When the man went down the last
time the two boats we're not more
than hundred and fifty feet from
him.
Quite crowd stood on the bank
here and witnessed the heart-rending
scene but were too far off to render
any assistance. As seen from a dis
lance the man fought hard for his
| life.
The crew of the boat, and some Of
the citizens Of this place, hunted for
the body until a late hour, but did
not succeed in finding it.
Jourdan's home is in Cincinnati
with widowed mother; his brother
is hand on the Warren.
LATER. Yesterday Sunday as
the Florence Mayer was passing Mr..
Drinkers farm, about one-half mile
below where Jourdan was drowned,
his brother, who was on the Mayer
returning home, saw the drowned
man floating near the boat; he jump
ed from the boat, caught the body
and called TO the boat; they were
taken on board and the boat went on.

Avid cry of Joy burst involuntarily
from my lips, a. thrill of hope pervaded
my whole being, as I listened. It came
from my own gallant lads-a detachment
sent out, in all probability, in search for
their missing officer.
"My four friends had paused, their
hands on their murderous knives, un-
certain and undecided how to act. They
turned for an instant towards the door,
leaving me to take advantage of their
stupidity.
"Whon they again confronted me, I
was in possession of the coveted corner,
with rifle to my shoulder, looking them
grimly in the face, while my dog, his
hair bristling with rage, stood bravely be-
side ME, displaying his white fangs to
the cnragcd gaze Of the greasy four.
Knife him, lads, before they are atop
Of us. Put him out of sight, or we'll all
swing,' but not one of them stirred.
''That dark, death dealing rife-ba,rel
had a wonderful tranquilizing effect.
Courses On YET shouted the leader,
foaming with rage, as he dashed forward,
knife in hand. Are you all afraid of the
Yankeea let him in here, and this
knife shall give him permission to leave.
"Perhaps the villain expected TO shake
my nerves, and cause me to throw away
my shot, but I never felt tirmer, more
determined in my life:
Con he came, brandishing his knife,
closely followed by his adhercnts.
II covered his left breast with the
sight of the weapon, and with the report
the scoundrel went headlong to the floor.
"Charging through the smoke the re-
maining three rushed upon me, but
were met by the dog, who buried his
teeth in the flesh of one of them.
II remember striking out with my
clubbed rifle, Of PAIRING rapid tlrusts and

means, in the melee, horn or canister of
powder must have fallen amid the red

my face.
''It was, as I supposed, a party sent out

were returning from bootlcss

lowed by an explosion and the glare OF
flames attracted their attention.

"FOUND DROWNED,

Sec where she lay there, dead alone
Stretched on the cold, damp marble. stone:
Naught but the constant water-drina
Thatfall upon her upturned lips,
Disturbs the solemn, silent gloom
Which reigns within the cherries room. u
!" Tis but q suicider' you say, K T
And thoughtlessly you turn away;
But could you know the Woeful tale =,
That lies behind that visage pale.
Pcrhaps you'd turn and heed once more
"Her tale Of sorrOws full store.
Found drownedv-this is the verdict piv'n.
Without thought Of how she'd strlv'n,
With all her might, to force her way
Gainst fearful trials, every day
Encountered in her path, and save
Her from watcry grave.
You do not know the suffering borne
Ere from this earth herself she'd torn
Upon this cold world cast awav.
Mid sin and trouble doomed to stray.
She, to preserve spotless name,
Had drowned herself. Is she to blamep
To rest her weary head-no places;
Starvation stares her In the face;
No one kindly hand extends
No one her wretched lot befriends.
And thus, in her sad, friendless state.
Alone she meets her dreaded fate.
Cold Charity has closed it's door
Quite useless now to struggle more;
So, in her dark and blank despair,
Her pale lips murmur one short PRAYER.
With eyes upturncd to Him who saves
She leaps into the tossing waves.
And thus Dame Rumor every day
Announces, in casual way,
The story Of a"body found
OF one who probably was drowned;"
But seldom does she ever tell
The sorrows which the wretch befcll
Let's pray with universal breath
For one who meets untimely death
Let all the bells of Pity toll
requiem for the poor's soul,
And maybe God, e'er just and right.
Will bless and make her future brig hit.
