HousTor, May 2S. - [Sps cial. - This
morning tho sad news reached the city oi
the death by drowning OF Captain Edward
Atkinson, OF the tug Louise, and only son
OF "nptain j j. Atkinson, supeIinto dent
Of the Houston Direct Navigation company.
Deceased was about GO years OF sge and was
married 10 Miss Rsulett, of Franklin,

Ed" as no was generally called, lelt The
barge which the tag had in tow to 20
aboard the tug, while the tug was under
headway, about Morse's bluff. two miles
below L'bery. He had gotten halfway
acros %. the distance being short, when the
TUG gave sudden jerk throwing him from
his balanca and into the river. He Yss
a most excellent swimmer and muat hRvo
heen struck by the ruddsr or screw OF the
tag, ss he did not rlss to the turiac" OF the
water The tug was stopped and search
made, but It was impossible to do a. ything.
That he was drowned is beyond qles-
tiop, bu. It is probable that the bocv will
not be recovered owing to the ovei loSed
condition Of the river aud the proxility To
ths bay. Captain J. j. Atkinson @es In
Galveston at the time the news 's-
csived, but Immediately came NY q a.

Edward Atkinson was universally beloved
by all who knew him. and the sad news OF
his death Is likely TO have q serious effect
upon his young wife, as she Is seriously
ipdisposed.
