sTRANGEED IN TIE WATER.


While Arthur Morris, coiored, nineteen
years Of age, who resided at No. 456
Maine avenue southwest, was bathing in
the Potomac between the bathing beach
and Long Bridge about 3 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, he went down and was drowned
before assistance could reach him.
Morris had just been on the beach and
was smoking a cigarette in the water and
inhaling the smoke. II is thought he
held a mouthful Of the smoke when he
dove and strangled beneath the water.
his body was recovered by the police
steamer Blackburn and taken to the morgue.
After viewing the remains and conversng
with several witnesses Acting Coroner
Glazebrook gave a certificate Of accidental
drowning.
The body Of a colored man, identified
as George L. Bro wD, was discovered floating
in the Georgetown canal at Thirty-fourth
street about o'clock yesterday afternoon
by James Faulkner, OF Thirtyfourth street.
Brown was working on the coal barge
''Musdngum," belonging to j P. Agnew &
Co., under Capt. wigg, some time ago, but
went on a protracted spree several days
since leaving the boat which lay at the
Just before IL O'Clock Saturday night
Brown came down the tow path under
the influence Of liquor.
HE FELL OVERHEARD.
Boarding the boat the man shouted to
Capt. Twigg that he intended to stay on the
deck q while TO sober up. When Capt.
Twigg went into his little cabin to retire
he left BrowD lying on the center cabin roof
apparently asleep.
The. thought that the man would fall
overheard did not enter the barge masters
head as he knew Brown was an old boat
man. When the captain arose yesterday
morning be did not think anything Of
Browns disappearance concluding he had
walked ashore and gone away.
Young Faulkner was on the top of the
tan wall bounding the canal near Thirty
fourth street, with another boy, when he
noticed something resembling a human
body floating on the surface OF the water
near the walk. He Immediately notified
Mr.. Twigg, who rowed out and recovered
the body, which was placed in the Seventh
precinct patrol wagon and conveyed TO
the station.
Capt. Twigg identified the corpse as
that of Brown. The man it is thought must
have rolled off the boat into the water
while asleep.
Brown was about 40 years of age, and
resided in Alexandria until bis wife left
him recently.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook last even
ing reviewed the body but deemed an in
quest unnecessary.

prisoner seeking to make his escape.
For long time no one spoke. The man

came we judged that we had made
good 20 miles. We had followed the
highway on and off, but without en-
countering any one, and as the day
broke we sought the cover Of thicket
and lay down 10 rest and sleep. 1t was
afternoon before any one awoke, and
then the first move was to look for
water. We soon found that, and then
the question of food came up. Keeping
all together, we moved to the west,
knowing that we should come to plan
tation sooner or later The best we
could do III the way of weapons WAS for
each man to arm himself with club.
The highway was ON our left as we
went forward, and we had proceeded
for about Il mile when we broke out of
the cover of thieket and found our
selves upon tho road, which took q
turn there TO avoid hill 1t was only
a narrow road, and couple of jumps
would have given us cover on the other
side, but as we left the bushes we came
face to face with soldier in Confeder-
ate uniform. He was sitting down on a
stone to rest and was without weapons
of any sort Had the soldier remained
quiet a tragedy would have been avoid
ed. AT first sight of us he sprang to his
feet, and instead of running away when
he recognized us as escaped prisoners,
which | am sure he did, he called on us
to surrender and seized man with each
hand. He was only boy, being less
than 20 years old, and not having even
fct, IL, , g.
thing for him to do. Having brave
heart i'll him, he acted on impulse The
idea with all of us was that we had
Numbered upon party of soldiers sent
out in search, and no one hesitated to
use his club
1t was only after the young soldier
had gone down under our blows that
we found he was alone and unarmed.
Two men lifted up his body and bore it
into a thicket across the road, and when
at a safe distance we examined his in
juries and did all that was possible I'M
der the circumstances to revive him.
Some of the blows had fractured his
skull, and at the end Of two hours he
was dead. When [ tell you that we were
sorely grieved over the matter, [ do not
half express our feelings In one sense
we had the moral and legal right to at
tack him and defend ourselves, but when
we saw him lying dead we could not
help but feel that there was innocent
blood ON our hands. On an envelope in
his pocket was his name, George Will
Hanson, and he also had with him ten
days furlough, granted by the COM
mander of the post at Salisbury nine
days before. He was one Of the guards
at the prison pen, then, and had been
home on a furlough and was making
his way back.
We found spot where tree had
been overturned and buried the body as
- we could, and during the re-
etl'rhedN of the day no one seemed to
