Of % to resolutions were adopted calling
upon Congress to repeal the Sherman silver

The report made by the Bohemia on her
arrival at Hamburg shows that there is no truth
in the story that the ha"ser with which she

bawser parted because Of the strain to which
it was subjected, and that the Bohema's people
were sorely disappointed because they lost their

be- justified in cutting loose from the Umbria
unless she found herself in the most imminent
peril.

Monday evening a party of fifteen
or twenty boys had gathered togetf-
er for the purpose of playing ball
near a small lake in the vicinity of
Patterson's slaughterhouse. As usual
thu next thing with boys is something
else, and that is always a swim, if
near the water. While a number of
them were in bathing it was discov-
cred that young Colbert Marsden
was about to drown. Howard Doll,
Jr., Immediately rushed to his assist
ance. He came very near taking
young Doll down with him. when
Sterling Castle rushed to their assist
ance and brought young Marsden to
shore. This is remarkable heroism
on the part of young Doll and Castle,
as none Of the boys exceed 13 years
of age. As young Castle got near
the shore others came to his assist
ance. Truly this was fortunate wind
ing up of what came very hear being
the loss of one or perhaps two dear
little boys lives. This is the second
time that this has occurred this sea
son. Look ont boys, the third time
it may prove fatal, and as our old
teacher used to tell us we should
never go near the water until we
have learned to swim. He meant
deep water we reckon.
