John A. Lynch, aged Z, and Willie
Durkin, aged years, Bordentown boys,
have been missing from their homes since
Thursday evening, and the general sup
position was at once formed that they
were drowned in Crosswicks creek. near
the Bordentown Water Works, as they
were last seen in that vicinity. A search
was at once instituted by their parents
and number of neighbors. Several of
theIsearching party, with lanterns, went
through Bonaparte Park while others
procured boats and rowed about Cross
wicks creek, in hopes of finding some
traces of the missing ones, but the mys-
terry was not solved until Sunday morn
ing, when the body of Lynch was found
in Crosswicks creek, about Is yards from
the Bordentown Water Works. The
body was discovered by Samuel Wood,
who was walking along path bordering
the creek, when he saw the form of the
boy lying face downward in the bottom
of the creek, few feet from the shore.
The body was taken from the water and
removed to the boys home. A thorough
search was then made for the body of five
year old Willie Durkin, which was found
about two miles away. The boys, it is
thought, were playing on platform when
one of them fell overheard, and the other,
in trying to save him, also fell in, and
they both were drowned.

groom to put in his appearance, but he
did not. The Rev. w. Middleton, the
pastor of the church, was there on time to
perform the ceremony, and was living in
hopes that Hall would still put in appear
ance, giving an excuse that perhaps be had

connections to the city. The bride had
attired herself in white China silk, trim
med with lace, with white kid gloves and
slippers. Miss Maud Johnson was 0 have
