INro rRovrDENcE RIVER.
Mrs. Lilly Ashcroft Either Fell o
Jumped.

Mrs. Lily Ashcroft Either feu or
Jumped.
Lilly Ashcroft, wife of substitute letter
carrier Richard Ashcroft, employed in
the PROVIDENCE Post Office, was fished
out Of the PROVIDENCE river last night
near the Crawford street bridge by John
Carney, and thereby hangs tale. How
she got into the river is the question tina Z
new vexes the curious. Statements OF
professed eye-witnesses differ.
Police Officer Downey OF Station was
patroiling his beat at $50 O'Clock last
evening, and when near the Crawford
Street Bridge his attention was attracted
by young woman who was leaning
against the railing. Turning to try a
door he was startled by splash, follow
ing closely several piercing screams.
Running in the direction Of the cries he
saw woman struggling in the water,
and was about to attempt a rescue when
the body OF man. divested OF surplus
clothing, shot by him into the river, COM
Ing up beside the drowning woman. The
man calmtd her excited struggles and
towed her to the wharf, where both were
hauled up by men who had been attracted
to the scene. The woman was in pitt
able condition OF nervous prostration.
She was taken to the Central station
and cared for By the matron. Her long
story accounting for her presence in the
river, in which she said that she slipped
and fell overheard, was inhoherent, dis
connected aud contradictory. Men who
saw her on the bridge say that it was
deliberate attempt at suicide. A gentle
man on one OF the shore steamers says he
saw her jump into the river.
James McChey, of the steamer River
side, says he was locking the doors of the
waiting room on the South Water Street
Dock OF the Continental Line, when
woman ran around the corner from Craw-
ford street, closely pursued by man,
screamed, and deliberately jumped into
the river from the dock adjacent to the
little round ticket office. The man rushed
TO the edge Of the wharf, peered over and
turning, rapidly disappeared in the di-
rection of Power street.
John Carney, who gallantly rescued
Mrs Ashcroft, is a stranger here. He
was congratulated and it is said that
suit of new clothing was given him.
