Drowning of Five Persons, Four oh
 Them Having Relations i'm this City s
 An article in the Selma (Ala.) Argus or Friday, April b, copied from the Pensacola Gazette, Fla, says: ''About the middle Of March Messrs. A. K. and c. D. Hall, w. F. Kirkland, J. Bassett and Frank Hall Ca little son of A. K HalD left Portland, Dallas county, Alabama, in little iron bottom sail boat bound for Key West via Mobile By postal dated from Mobile c. D. Hall in- formed me that the party hoped to be in Pensacola about the 23d or 24th ult. Mrs. Mary Hall, mother of A. K. and c. D. Hall, resides in Tilden, Dallas county, Ala. MT. Kirkland was her nephew and had been on 8 visit with his grandmother to the Halls for the past eighteen months. He was lame, which accounts for the crutch found with the sail, etc. Mfr. Bassett's mother also resides at'Tilden The many friends of the unfor- tunate gentlemen will long mourn their sad fate, if they have indeed been drowned. Yet they have much to console them in the be- lief that not one of&he party was likely to be found unprepared for death, however suddenly it may have come, as they were men of high moral worth and consistent members of the Episcopal church"
 Another article in the same connection tells of the finding of a body, undoubtedly that of one of the members of the party. The iron bottomed boat was observed by several per sons at East Pass, one of whom, Capt Destln, an old resident, remarked that the boat could not live, and as the wind increased no doubt was entertained but that the boat went down and that all on board were lost.
 The Messrs. A. K. and c. D. Hall were nephews of Mrs. E. E. Hall, of this city. Mr. Kirkland was native of Wallingford, and long connected with the Meriden Britannia company He went to the South for his health. Their sad fate will be deplored by many friends both here and at the South.
