Between 10 and IL o'clock yesterday Miss
Mamie Prospect. aged sixteen years, was
drowned in the bath house at the foot of Ship
wright street, Annapolis. She was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Augustus Prospect, apothecary atthe
United States Naval Academy. In company
with several other young ladies Miss Prospect
visited the bath house. Several married ladies'
expert in swimming, had left only q short time
before the accident. 1t is said before leaving
they warned the young girls who could not
swim not to go beyond the rope pointed out to
them, as none but expert swimmers ventured
out that far. A rope is stretched across the
pool in four or five feet of water. Beyond this
the water gradually deepens, and at the farthest
end Of the pool it reaches depth Of twelve or
thirteen feet just beyond the rope a two-foot
bridge runs out from one side Of the pool
about half way to which q ladder is attached
reaching down in the water, by which means
the bathers climb up and jump Off two-foot
board walk Is also placed around the side from
the entrance Of the bath house to the platform
For one to jump from this elevation into this
depth of water Is extremely dangerous unless
the person should know how to swim. Miss
Prosperi. who seems not to have learned the art
Of swimming, is said to have jumped from this
extended platform into the deepest water.
Miss Barry, daughter of Lieut.. E. B. Barry,
United States navy, was the only other young
lady in the water OF the swimming pool at the
time. Miss Prospect cried for bel p as she real
lied that she had gone beyond her depth and
was sinking. Miss Barry, who could swim,
went Immediately to her, but failed to reach
her in time to be of assistance.
In her exertions Miss Barry became ex-
hausted and fell PROSTATE upon the floor Little
Bessie Abbott, daughter Of VIM. NJ. Abbott,
who was about to complete her toilet in the
bath house. also endeavored to rescue the
drowning girl.
The body was recovered by James johnson.
Physicians we're summoned. but life was e1-
tinct when they arrived. The remains were
removed to the family residence on Charles
street, where many friends called to extend
sympathy to the bereaved parents. 1t is said
this was the first visit Miss Prospect had made
to the bath house.

ALICE MITCHELL's TRIAL,
Further Testimony Given as to Her
sanity.

Further Testimony Given as to Her In
sanity.
Alice Mitchell did not show the slightest sign
of seven days trial, looking a. well as upon the
first day when court opened yesterday in Mem
phis.
DIR. E. B. Sale Of Memphis was the first wit
ness introduced. Asked concerning hereditary
insanity witness explained why it was that Off
spring should inherit such traits from the
mother rather than from the father, the foetus
in utero being sustained by the blood Of the
mother. DIR. Sale then gave his opinion that
the defendant was insane, the opinion being
based on personal examination and interview
with her las. Sunday. He was first struck with
lack Of sympathy in the face. The witness
then detailed an interview with defendant
touching the murder, her love for and her inten-
ton to marry Freda, which materially agreed
with those testified to by Dr.. Sim and DR.. Tur-
ner. His opinion, based on this interview, was
that the defendant was insane. As to her final
cure witness said defendant might be made
very useful person in an asylum, but he believed
she would never be totally sound.
DIR. J. H. Calender, medical superintendent
for the Central Insane Asylum, was next called
to the stand. He said the first thing that i'm
pressed him was the strong scientific presump-
ton in the case that Alice was Of the insane
temperament inherited from her mother.
DIR. Calender said that Alice told him 1t was
her intention to kill Freda and then cut her own
throat When asked why she did not kill her
self she replied: ''Why, doctor, ! forgot all
about it." He would say he considered Alice
Mitchell a subject for seclusion. i.
DR.. Campbell, superintendent Of the insane
asylum, Knoxville, gave his opinion that Alice
was insane at the time of the homicide and con-
tinued SO at the present time. This closed the
case for the defense and court adjourned.

A FAMILY DROWNED.
Their House was Washed Away While They
Slept.


Slept.
The severe storm which passed over West
Virginia Sunday night was more disastrous In
It's results than was at first supposed. It is
known that there was considerable loss of life
besides some destruction Of property by light
ming on Long run. in Marshall county, q few
miles south Of Wheeling. An entire family Of
nine persons is reported to have been swept
from the face Of the earth by sudden food fol-
lowing cloudburst. The family consisted Of
William Doty and wife, their three children,
Doty's father and mother, Mrs. Dotys mother
and servant girl. The house was situated in q
ravine and was swept away by the torrent, not
one of the sleeping occupants being left to tell
the tale The first known Of the disaster was
the finding of the body Of the servant girl this
morning in the yard Of q neighbor some dis
lance below where the fated house stood 1t is
also reported that the body Of Doty and that
OF one OF the children have been found at the
mouth Of the creek, which empties into the
Ohio river.
Another house was swept away by the same
torrent, but all the occupants are believed to
have escaped. At Proctor, on the Ohio river
railroad, long trestle washed out and
freight train wrecked. Twenty-eight cars
were piled up, and the engineer, WIN Beasley
OF Petersburg, IVES injured so that his log had
to be amputated Monday. At Parkersburg the
state militia is in annual encampment, and Mon
day afternoon second storm wrecked the camp.
Women who were visiting the camp narrowly
escaped serious injury. Near the encampment
the stable Of @. II. Shattuck's stock farm was
struck by lightning and several blooded horses
were killed.

Congressman Wilson Renominated.

Congressman William L. Wilson was yester-
day renominated for his sixth term as Repre-
sentative from the second West Virginia dis
trict. 1t was harmonious convention. Every
one knew why he was there and was ready to
do his duty. Temporary organization was
made permanent and committees on creden-
tials and organizations we're done away with
Bernard L. Butcher was named as presidential
electOr.
Then followed the formal nomination Of Err.
Wilson. Mr.. J. II. Woods Of Barbour placed
his name before the convention, saying that it
was but O formality, for he had already been
nominated in the hearts Of the people. 1--WE
want him for our leader in this campaign" he
concluded, "and We intend to have him for our
representative"
A committee was appointed to notify Mr.
Wilson OF his nomination, and they returned to
the hall in a few minutes, Mr.. Wilson accom-
panying them.
the campaign were the tariff and free elections
in the states. In his trip to the Pacific coast
and in his canvassing in New England he had
found the party everywhere united and enthusi-
astic on these issues, than which there could be
none greater, and that enthusiasm and union
meant victory. He had doubtless met the dis
approval Of some Of his constituents in declin-
ing to commit the party to another issue, but
he felt that he was not called upon to drive q
wedge into the party that would split it hope
lessly and almost sectionally. After few more

for campaign work made upon him he would
not neglect his own state or his own district.
Mr.. Wilson returned to Washington in the
evening and did not 60 on to Petersburg, as
he expected to do.
