spot where the unfortunate Kramer lost
his life. A thrill Of horror pervaded the
city, when it was announced this morning
that Charley Tavenner had fallen from the
Little Kanawha bridge some time dur
ing last night and was drowned. The
last time he was seen alive was
about ten o'clock last night, when
He entered the south end OF the bridge on
his way to this city. He was about thirty
PAGES in advance OF Rev. Clark. who carried
lantern and who states that he heard a
fall on tbs loose planks upon which pedes-
trians have been crossing during the re.
pairing Of the bridge, and also heard a thud
in the water below and thought he heard
something like gurgling sound from
some one in the water and called aloud.
Receiving no response, he passed over
the bridge. Mr.. Clark stated the circum-
stance to persons on this side, but no search
was made until this morning, when it was
discovered he was really missing.
The Body Was FOund
at six o'clock this evening. 1t was quite
natural in appearance, and the face bore
no signs of death agony, but presented the
appearance of person who had fallen into
an easy sleep. The scene witnessed when
the body was drawn ashore was sad one
indeed. The grief stricken brother and
sister.in-law and other near relatives stood
on the bank. AS the corpse was exposed
to view heart broken sobs of bereayed ones
were affecting indeed. Young Tavenner
