DROWNED IN CHAIN POND.

PLATTsBuRG, Sept. 4.-Forost II. Parker, Jr.,
son OF President Forest II. Parker of tho Prod.
uce Exchange Bank Of New York, with his
young wife. were drowned in Chain Pond, in
the Adirondack, this afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs.
Parker left New York on Friday night for a few
days visit with Forest II. Parker, ST., who has
a cottage on Chain Pond, about one mile from
"McCollum's." Mr.. Parker located there a
few years ago and has spent the summers there
each year.. adding TO his estate until he practi.
cally n a township, and the young people,
who were married about o year ago, were to
spend a few weeks exploring the most recent Of
Mr.. Parker's acquisitions.
About an hour after their arrival this morn
ing they started out for n row. No guide was
taken along, as Mr.. Parker was an accomplished
oarsman. They were simply going out for a
few hours and were TO return In time for lunch
con. They did not return at dinner time, and
a searching party was sent out and the boat
they occupied was found capsizcd. 1t Is sup
posed that they either attempted TO change
seats In tho boat or that one of the party
reached out TO pluck a water lily or some other
wild flower, OF which the pond uboundcd.ncar
tho shores, and upset the boat. The pond Is
very deep in places, and 1t may be days before
the bodies are recovered, although dynamite
a to be used tomorrow in an attempt 10 bring
them to the surface.

a white handkerchief was tied about the 10 Yer

man was gone, but the woodwork of the win.
dow was spattered with blood.
