DROWNED IN THE BOTTOMS.

Fatal Ride Of Herman Krohne on Raft.
A sad case OF drowning occurred about
half past O o'clock this morning in the bot
toms near Gest street and the Southern
Railroad.
Herman Krohne, a lad between IS and 10
years old, who lived with his parents in
the rear of Zimmerman's saloon on Clinton
streets, few doors east of Freeman
avenue went out with his dog this
morning to have some fun in the
back water of Millcreek at the above
mentioned place. He constructed a raft
and when about thirty yards from
the shore, missed lis fo oting and fell into
the water, which is about ten feet deep. A
number Of men and boys were in the
immediate neighborhood, but none of the
cowardly set stirred foot to save the boy.
William Bergin and William Powers,
however, who were some distance away
hurried TO the spot, but they were too late.
The b " drowned before their eyes. All
that the two brave men could do was to re-
cover the body, and this they did.
The Coroner was notified, and ordered
the body sent to the parents home, but he
was prevented in this by the saloon-keeper,
who refused to have anything % do with
the body until the boys parents, who were
not at home, were notified. The Coroner
therefore had to leave the body remain
where it was recovered until lie found the
parents. An inquist was ordered for this
evening.

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 17.-Apart from
the desire to get up measures OF general
legislation it is argued that it will be i'm
possible to get away at the time liked in
the adjournment resolution. The Senate
has not shown any disposition to hurry ap-
preparation bills. They have had the Post
Office Bill for week. and all agree that it
will take several days to pass it. Then if
recommendation Of Committee striking out
House proviso in relation to Star Mail
Service is concurred in, as it is believed it
will be. there will be controversy between
the Houses. which it will take some time
to settle. The House has also waited a
quarrel with the Senate by reducing the
salaries of the Senate employees in the Leg
islative Appropriation Bill.
The Sundry Civil Bill is yet to be re-
ported to the House. The bill making APP
preparations for the Agricultural Depart
ment has been reported but that can be
disposed of in a day or two.
Then there is the General Deficiency Bill
which will take up a. good deal of time.
There is also bill making appropriations
for special deficiencies which must be dis
posed Of before adjournment The Military
Academy Bill is still in conference, and no
prospects yet of an arrangement. An at
tempt will be made to-day to pass the River
and Harbor Bill under a suspension of the
rules.

WASHINGTON, d. G., May 17.-It appears
here is to be trouble in the West Virginia
ielegation when it reaches Chicago 1t is
he custom in that State for each Con-
ressional district to select three delegates
b the National Convention, and for the
tate to select one delegate at large. The
Iirst and Second Districts selected Blaine
delegates, but the Third District selected
hree who were we'll known to be for Sher-
han. When the selection of the Third
District was announced to the Convention.
! was decided to be in conflict with the
sesolution to vote for Blaine, which the
Convention had previously passed; so the
Convention selected three delegates to rep
Iesent the Third District. The delegates
lriginally selected by the Third District
fill claim admission to the Chicago Con-
fen,ion. Should they be admitted, the
delegation will not abide by the instruc-
lions to vote for Blaine. There are two
others who will vote for Sherman in that
event, since they are known to be Sherman
men, though they aave signifed their
willingness to obey the instructions of the
Convention.

IDENTIFY means what he says.
Hughes appeared little stiff at the
start, but only few laps were required to
bring the "lepper" back to his normal con-
dition, and he is now running or rather
trotting, totally oblivious to everything.
At first his intention seemed to dog the
footsteps OF Glow, whom he leads six
miles, but ne soon abandoned this system,
and left the New England runner and went
around by himself.
When Hughes goes in race he has
everything arranged on systematic basis.
He takes care to have his family near in
order that they may guard his well-stocked
refrigerator. His wife prepares all his
solid and liquid nourishment, and, in ad-
ditiOn to the presence of his faithful better
half, he has an attendant of his own sex,
who is always in readiness to 20 out and
procure anything that is necessary tor his
comfort.
