TWO BROTHERS DROWNED
CHARLES AND WALTER MCGUIRE
UPSET FROM A SAILBOAT.

Sad Ending of a Sunday Afternoon
Sail on Thunderbolt River-The Boat
Capsized and Two of it's Occupants
go Down Locked in ach Others EN-
brace-Finding the Bodies-An Easter
\ Turned to Sadness.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday evening
Walter and Charles Mcclure, two
brothers, accompanied by Johnnie
McQuade and Joseph Kiliorin, left
the city on the afternoon train
for Thunderbolt After their arrival there
they hired a boat from Conductor Barbce,
of the Coast Line railway, for a sail on the
river in front of the bluff The boat was a
small fiat bottom batteau carrying one
sail, Joseph Kllorin did the steering.
The boys had been sailing about an hour
when the boat was capsized just opposite
Capt NJ. J. Doyle's bath house. A sudden
gust of wind struck the sail, causing it to
swing round to the northward, and the boat
being light one it careened, the gunwale
submerging, the boat began to fill with
water, and the Mcclure boys both tumbled
head long into the river.
STRUGGLING IN THE WATER.
They struggled few minutes Walter
could swim little and he tried to assist his
brother who could not swim at all. Char
lev held on to his brother with deathlike
grip, and being upable to help himself, they
both sank within about six yards of the
shore, it being low tide at the time. The
only witnesses on shore of the drowning
were two little negro boys, although there
were 800 people scattered along the bluff,
and among them were a number of relatives
Of the two drowned lads.
McQuado and Kilorin pluclIily held on
to the gunwhale of the submerged boat
which drifted with the tide until some one
came out in a boat and rescued thsee boys
and took them ashore.
FINDING THE BODIES.
About twenty minutes after the accident
Mr.. Charles Baker succeeded in graphing
the body of Charles, the younger brother,
and hauled it ashore. DR.. Dunn, who hap
pened to be near by was called aud he used
every means possible to resuscitate the
drowned lad, but all to no purpose
About half an hour after the body of the
younger boy was taken out of the water,
John Rivers, a colored man, found the body
OF Walter few yards away from where
the other body lay, and securing it, brought
it to the shore
Coroner Dixon was notified, but he held
no inquest and gave permission for the re-
moval of the bodies
BROUGHT BACK TO THEIR HOME.
Undertaken Joseph Goette took charge of
the remains and had them transferred to the
residence of their father, Mr.. John Nc
CURE, on New Houston street, second door
west of Abercor, where they were prepared
for burial Walter was the eldest of the lads
in the boat, being about II
about year of his apprenticeship with Mr..
P. H. Herman at the plumbing trade.
Charles was barely ID years of age and was
pupil at the Cathedral school. 1t was a
very sad scene last night at the home of
their heartbroken parents when the bodies
OF their two boys were received and
joyous Easter evening turned into day of
sorrow in that little household. The funeral
of the two brothers will take place this
afternoon at o'clock from the family resi-

Three Men Narrowly Escape Being
Killed at the White Bluff Crossing.
Mr.. NJ. S. Gardner reports miraculous
escape from being instantly killed by a
train on the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway yesterday afternoon Mr..
Gardner in company with two other men,
was in wagon going out to his fathers
slaughter house, about five miles from the
city. AS they were going over the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western crossing at the
White Bluff road an engine came dashing
down the track at the rate of thirty or
forty miles an hour. 1t was upon them be-
fore they had time to think of anything,
and had it not been that the horse which
they were driving instfhctively
sprang forward, barely clearing
the track with the wagon they would no
doubt have met with instant death. The
road leading to the track has fence on
either side, and an engine approaching,
Mr.. Gardner said, cannot be seen, and for
this reason there is a notice to all trains to
stop at that point Mr.. Gardner said that
the engine did not stop, nor was there any
signal of its approach.

Old Age.

A medical man compares an old
man to an old wagon; with light loading
and careful usage it will last for years,
but one heavy load or sudden strain
will break it and ruin it forever. Many
people reach the age OF fifty or sixty or
seventy, measurably free from most
of the pains and infirmities of age,
CHEEKY in heart and sound in health,
ripe in wisdom and experience. with
sympathies nellowed by age. and
with reasonable prospects and oppor-
tunities for continued usefulness in
the world for q considerable time.
Let such persons be thankful, but let
them also be careful. An old consti.
tuition is like an old bone. broken with
ease, mended with difficulty. A young
tree bends to the gale, an old one
snaps and falls before the blast. A
single hard lift, an hour of heating
work, an evening of exposure to rain
or damp, severe chill, an excess OF
food, the unusual indulgence of an ap,
petite or passion. a sudden fit OF an.
ger, an improper dose of medicine. any
Of these may cut off valuable life in
an hour, and leave the fair hopes OF
usefulness and enjoyment but q
shapeless wreck, -6cottlsh American.

they entered the pulpit. Sunday
came, and after prayers one of the
kings aides presented the minister
with a sealed envelope. He opened
it and found it blank. He held up
one side and said: my brethren, here
is nothing" Then, holding up the
other side, he said: "And here is
nothing, and of nothing God created

a magnificent discourse on the power

Better STAY at Home,

The Boston Record has been doing
its best to put to fight some fond
little Illusions which American girls OF
small means indulge in in regard to
going abroad and supporting them
selves while they study music, or paint
ing, or language. Some of these maid
ems imagine it the easiest thing possible
to obtain pupils in English and launch
themselves into q strange land with.
out money to live upon, but with a
sublime confidence in their own powers,
which often brings them grief. For it
is true that Americans have not the
reputation among the careful foreig1,
matrons which will lead to their en-
ployn,ent when an Englishwoman can
be had. Nor is there the opportunity
to earn money by foreign correspond.
ence that many believe exists. There
is 50 little that is new which the tele.
graph leaves untold, and foreign modes
of living are so we'll understood now,
that it is only in rare cases that cor
respondence is paid for. The moral
of it all is that young women need to
have the money at hand to pay their
way before going abroad to stndy OF
to travel.

Progress of Civilization.

''The night ends with storm; yet re.
ioice; they herald the morning" were
the last words of Erasmus, and in the
Frightening light of the new day the no.
rizon of the future now plainly reveals
the verdure of wide forests. temples OF
health and science, the fruit planta.
tions of reclaimed fields and the gar.
den homes OF renaturalized men. The
progress OF our latter.day civilization
has not yet reached it's ultimate eaol,
but we can no longer doubt that the
principle OF that progress is a reaction
against the doctrine of anti-natural-
ISM. All the leading nations OF the
Caucasian race are retracing their
steps from ghostland to earth. From
