PARKERsBUKG, W. Va, May l2.-Aoou
2 D. m. to-day August Bohn and his sl1
year old son, Theodore, were drowned II
the Ohio river, about one mile across the
B. & O. railroad bridge. The particulars
of the sad catastrophe are about as given
below. Mr.. Bohp, who is baker IN John
Tud's establishment, on Market street
had set out lines in the Ohio river and
would occasionally take his little son with
him to run them. This afternoon tne
father and boy went to the place where tne
lines were and started to run them: BY
some unforeseen accident the little fellow
fell overheard, and the father, who was
unable to swim, sprang in to save him.
The son went down near the boat
and the father, in his frantic efforts to save
him, got so far away from the boat that he
too sank before help could be rendered.
Both bodies were recovered in an hour
from the time OF the disaster, but sll at
tempts to resuscitste them failed entirely.
The scene at the bank, when the bodies
were brought out and laid on the bank was
affecting. The wife and mother, with her
two remaining little children, nearly fran
tic with grief, begging aud pleading in
German for her August" affected all the
crowd which had assembled to tears. A
coroner's jury was empaIeled and rend'
cred verdict in accordance with the above
facts. Bchu is poor man and leaves
wife and two children TO mourn the loss OF
an affectionate father, protector and hus-
band.

He says it is placed in Il refrigerator car,

two inaccuracies. pardonable under the
circumstances, created quite breeze in
political circles about town, and esused an

saying it had no political signlfcance. but
with rather Indifferent success.
