UPRIGHT IN THE WATER
Drowning of Little Willie Newton Has
Mysterious Features
Found This Afternoon Close by the
11th Street Wharf-LOOl1ing for
His Companions.

Another case of drowning, with some
mysterious circumstances surrounding 1t,
came to light shortly before 2 o'clock this
afternoon, when the tody Of Willie New
ton, ten-yesr-old boy, was found stand
irg upright in the water beside the wharf
at the foot OF 11th street southwest. The
little boy was son of Mr.. Thos. w. New
ten, who resides at S11 G street southwest,
and who is employed at Havenner's bakery.
The little boy was missed from his home
early last evening, and both his mother and
father were noticed going about from
wharf to wharf making inquiries. to learn
IL possible the whereabouts of their son.
Later in the evening Mr.. Newton called at
the Office of Harbor Master Sutton, and
announced that he had been informed that
Willie had been drowned. Mr.. Newton was
accompanied by little boy named Sorrell,
who claimed that he was with Willie when
the latter fell into the water that nils the
basin near the free bathing beach Two OF
Harbor Master Sutton's assistants entered
batteau and rowed to the spot Indicated.
where they were met by Mr. Ne%,o, anu anu
spot where, he declared. Willie Newton
had gone under. The policemen grappied
for several hours without success, and
then it struck them that perhaps the poy
had fallen into one Of the lakes near the
Washington monument, and strength was
added to this surmise when it was learned
that 4 yellow-topped wagon hao peeh
standing near one of the lakes, and thai
Willie Newton had gone in the wagon TO
the monument grounds to cut some grass
as feed for a horse.
An examination of the lakes, however
showed no result. Late this afternoon the
flowing out of the tide disclosed the body
Of the unfortunate boy standing upright
near the 11th street wharf as stated. IT
was removed without delay. and taken 10
the mnrgue in patrol wagon.
A Star reporter learned that Willie New
ton had been seen around 11th street last
evening, playing with several companions.
among whom was Irving Hall and two
brothers named Stanford. Late this after
noon the police sent out in search of the
companions of the dead boy, to learn, ii
possible. the reason why he fell into the
water. 1t is considered quite remarkable
that any one could fail overheard and the
fact not become almost instantly known at
the point where the little Newton boy lost
his life. The wharf which in winter is used
as the principal point for unloading oyste
at all times has a score or more of persons
in its vicinity.

WEATHER FOR JULY,

What May BE Expected From the
Average for Twenty-Four Years.
The following data, compiled from the
weather bureau records at Washington, D.
c., cover the period of twenty-four years
for the month of July, and should prove
of value and interest in anticipating the
more important meteorological elements
and the range within which such variations
may be expected to keep for the coming
month:
Mean or normal temperature. II: warm
est month, 1876, with an average of 81; cold
est month, 1881. with an average of -: high
est temperature. 103. on the 18th, 1857: lowest
temperature, 53, on the 2Hh and I'D. 1890;

Gpitation, 1U63 inches, in 1886; least month

E v A MS AND TAY OR
Interest in Their Contest for the Governor,
ship in Tennessee.
The Election In August Will Prob
ably Tell How the State Will
Go in November.

Several important state elections, as well
Us county elections, will be held throughout
the country before the November election,
and from these may be gathered some idea
of how the contest will go in November.
In Tennessee, for instance, county elections
will be held throughout the state in Au-
gust Every county will elect county Off
GERS and members of the legislature. Be
sides. three judges of the court of chauncery
appeals will be voted for at the same time.
The republicans and democrats in Ten
nessee are lining up for these fights. are
well organized, and it is said by Tennes-
seeans here that the contest will be the
hottest ever wased between the parties in
that state. The control of the state is at
issue. and it may be regarded as the final
struggle of the republicans. 1t has been
claimed for some time that the republicans
have been steadily increasing in strength
in various southern states, owing to the
acquisitions of former democrats who be-
lieve in high tariff, and also to defections
due to the position of the democrats on the
silver question 1t is alleged that the
changes in Tennessee have been greater
than in any other state. The opportunity
TO show whether there have been changes
will be found in the August elections The
result then will likely be the same in No
vember in the election for President and
Vice President and state officers.
1t Is predicted that the hardest fought
battle the state ever will take place
In November between ex-Gov. Bob Taylor
the democratic nominee for governor and
II. Clay Evans. who will be the republican
nominee. They are the two most popular men
in their respective parties. Mr.. Evans has
the prestige this year of having been high
iy honored at St Louis. and of being inti-
mate with Hanna and Mckinley He is
working this for all its worth in the state
and it will make him many votes The re-
publicans have been claiming the state
since Evans was elected governor they as
sert, and counted out in 1884. The manu-
featuring interests of the state are SUD-
posed 10 be almost solidly for Evans Mr.
Evans himself has large manufacturing in
terests, and is popular with the business
men OF the state. He will have a big cam
paign fund.
Taylor VIII carry the coloYs of the silver
men. and Evans will fight under the bright
standard OF gold There viii be no reason
why the election will not be settled on that
issue. Governor Taylor predicts his cleo
ton by 10000. while the republicans laugh
at this and say that Evans will win by a
safe majority. The populists, it is said
Will vote for Taylor. They had contem
plated fusinS with the republicans but
their plan has been changed with the de-
Veiopments on the financial issues.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n Y, June 25-The

is the highest stroke Cornell has used, and
is nearer the ideal of Coz rtney.

able to give Harvard
The Pennsylvania oarsmen generally re-
joiced because Harvard defeated.
Ward told an Associated Press reporter
this morning that in view of the fact that
the Harvard freshmen were conceded to
outclass the varsity before yesterdays
race, ne could not see any show for the
crimson seniors to win tomorrow. The
Pennsylvania hope to beat Harvard even
If they do not finish first. The Quakers

gregating 10000 shares during the first

the decline was inaugurated at the close

more comfortable, arranged his sweater

Henry Willard Credited With the
Accomplishment of Results.

CHICAGO, June 25-The Evening Post
has sensational piece Of railway news to-
day. 1t is to the effect that Henry Willard,
backed by large Eumber of European and
American capitalists, has about completed
deal which will give them through line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific seaboard
The intention of the Willard syndicate ls
to buy the Northt rn Pacific road and then
the Baltimore and Ohio is to be secured at
a receivers SALE 1t is said the syndicate
has already practically obtained control Of
the Chicago and Great Western road, which
will be tie connecting link between the
Baltimore and Ohio and Northern Pacific.
1t is also said that the apparent an
tagonism between the Adams reorganiZa-
tion committee of the Northern Pacific and
Willard was only assumed, and that now
the deal is all but accomplished, a recon-
ciliation having taken place.
Should this deal be carried into effect
1t would not change the relations of ]. P.
Morgan & Co. toward the Baltimore and
Ohio in the least. The 3. and o. has for
several years past worked in close har-
mcny with the Northern Pacific and Wis
ccnsin Central Railway Companies, and
in Chicago uses the passenger train ter
m1nals of the latter road. The Wisconsin

1t Is the Wisconsin Central which is now
in the hands of j. p. Morgan & Co. for re-
organiza ton that is referred to in the dis
patch and not the Chicago and Great
Western.
For some time past there has been a
disposition on the part of the members of
the syndicate who are associated with J.
+. Morgan & Co. in their gr.a1 railway
deals to keep tho name of the house out
OF the public prints, as it WAS feared that
the business world might become alarmed
at the magnitude of the growth of rail-
way ownership Of the firm. and this was
no doubt In accordance with the desire of
Mr. Morgan, but those best Informed on
the subject say that he is pulling the wires
the same as ever.
