A YOUNG WOMAN DRowNED.-A sad
drowning accident occurred from the
steamer Charles Macalister on her
trip up from Marshall Hall about half
past ten o'clock last night. Miss Ruth
w. Bursley, daughter of Lemuel B.
Bursley, of d street northeast Wash
ington, was the victim, and the sad &C.
cident happened in the presence of her
father, mother and brother and sisters.
The party were sitting on the hurricane
deck on the starboard side forward of
the paddle box, aud when the boat was
nearly off Bryant's Point Miss Ruth
was seen to go overheard in front of
the wheel. An alarm was sounded,
the boat stopped and small boats low
cred, but the young woman-who had
disappeared in the dsrk WIT ,rs-could
not be found, having doubtless been in
stantly killed by the steamers chuck
ets." The Macalister remained for
some time in the locality OF the acci.
dent, and when the steamer George
Leary on her up "trip hove in sight she
wes signalled and the officers of that
boat turned their search lights on the
waters in hopes of seeing the unfortu-
nate young woman, but without sue
cess, and both steamers finally pro-
ceeded up the river. The parents of
the young woman were completely
overcome by the great griefso suddenly
thrust upon them, and the brother and
sister cried as if their hearts would
break. Capt. Blake led the stricken
family to his stateroom, where they re-
NAMED until the boat reached Wash
ington. The cause of the accident is
a mystery, some saying Miss Bursley
was sitting in dangerous position on
the rail and that the sudden turn the
steamer made in rounding the point
caused her to fall overheard. Others
say she was sick and was compelled to
lean over the rail. 1t was also whis
pered that it was case of suicide, but
this theory is indignantly denied by
tho young woman's friends. Miss
Bursley was an attractive young woman
and had large circle Of friends. She
was nineteen years of age and her ways
were quiet and gentle. Early this
morning the police boat Joe Black.
