decided to hold the convention ut lronton on

Our hotel accommodations are ordinarily
ample, but as the contest will probably be a
s6iritetf one, the number of visitors Will be
greater than. usual, and such steps rs are
necessary to secure comfortable lodging for

A VERY SAD ACCIDENT.
The Drowning of Charles McGiIi
Yesterdny Afternoon.

Yesterday Afternoon.
The multitude of pleasure seekers out
rowing last evening were rudely interrupted
in their mirth by the sad sight of party of
boatmen at work Off the Columbia Landing
dragging the river for q dead body.
The innumersble Inquiries elected the
sad information that Charles McGill, the
wel-known young printer, a promising
young man and an expert swimmer, had
been drowned in his efforts to reach the
shore from pleasure boat in the channel.
Four young men, Charles McGill, James
Webster, Hector Davidson and Robert
Lingle went up the river in a gunwalc
boat at about o'clock in tho afternoon.
Davidson and Lingle landed at Holtz-
mans barge while tho other two con-
tinued short distance up the river,
aud were opposite Columbia Landing,
when they undertook to change their
positions in the boat, and in so doing were
both thrown into the water and both struck
out for the Virginia shore.
"1f you want help, let me know !" shouted
McGill.
~ am all right-save yoursclfr' replied
Webster, and both swan rapidly toward the
shore, Webster reaching the Columbia float
in safety. McGill, however, who was fine
swimmer, was overcome by a cramp or at
tack Of rheumatism, and when compare
lively near shore is supposed to have
turned back and made an effort to reach
the boat. When Webster climbed out OF
the water and turned to look for his COM
panion he was nowhere to be seen, and the
bubbles on the surface Of the water were
the only indication of where he had sunk. y
McGill was printer on the Capital Is
years of age, and was industrious and popu-
lar. Dragging for the body at once begun,
and several hours later it was recovered
and conveyed to Burgdorf's undertaking
