Sad Drowning Accident.

A sad drowning affair occurred last
Saturday evening on the Maryland
side of the river about four miles
above Shepherdstown. George Rowe,
son of James and Elizabeth Rowe.
who live along the river, and Ben
iamin Bower, were drowned in the
Potomac near Mr.. Rowe's home
while bathing. Mr.. Bower had been
raised by Miss Sarah Rowe. His
mother lives in Washington. On Sat
urday he arrived at the Rowe resi-
dence, from Washington, and during
the day assisted the family with har-
yesting. On Saturday afternoon the
two young men left the harvest field
and went to the river to enjoy bath.
They did not return during the
evening, and it was thought that
they had gone to town. Nothing
having been heard from them by next
morning, search was instituted, and
their clothing was found on the bank
of the river. Mr. Charles Boyer, one
of the party, went into the river and
after diving to its bottom about a
dozen times he found the body of one
of the men in about ten feet of water
The body of his companion was found
at the same place, but about ten feet
away from the first one. The suppo-
sition is that Rowe, being unable to
swim, got beyond his depth and called
Bower, who was strong swimmer,
TO his assistance and that both were
drowned in the struggle. Rowe S
arms were folded tightly and had to
be forced apart. The bodies were
taken to Mr.. Rowe's house and coro-
ner Van S. Brashears, of Sharpsburg,
notified, who summoned a jury and
held an inquest. A verdict was re-
turned that the young men came TO
their death by accidental drowning
The unfortunate occurrence was a
great shock to the community, where
both the young men were much liked.
Rowe was 10 years old, and Bower
had Just passed his 21st birthday.
The funeral services were held on
Monday by Rev. p. G. Edwards, OF
