new LEAK In THE DRY DOCK
1t Took Hard Work to Save the
Massachusetts, From Damage.
There May BE Some Serious Flaw,
But Engineer Menocal Expresses
Contrary Opinion.

New York, May 9.-The condition of the
great new dry dock, No 8, at the Brook
lyn navy yard changed for the worse last
night
Another leak developed during that time
on the west side OF the dock, opposite the
place where the leak began yesterda ymoru-
ing, and new sets of conjectures were set
afioat among the navy yard officials and
visitors as to just where the faults were
and how they were to be remedied
Capt Menocal, the engineer in charge,
whose duty it will be to recommend meas
ures for making the dock safe, continues
in his belief that the fault is of a trivial
nature, and one that will be cured by
closing the 190-foot gap in the sea wall
facing the Wailabout bay TO the east
OF the entrance to the dock.
Naval Constructor Bowles and officers
offer theories which involve a belief in
some more serious faults.
All night and today and up to 4 O'Clock
this evening, men were at work making the
tattleship Massachusetts safe against
a sudden inflow of the water On either
side of the ship amidships, are ports
seventeen inches in diameter, through
which the ships engines send out water,
which has previously been taken In to
circulate through her condensers to cool
the used steam. The seventeen-inch pipes
which connect these holes with the circu-
laton pumps are badly rusted and it
had been decided TO replace them. These
pipes were not in place when the leak
began, and if the dock had been suddenly
floated to above the nneteen-foot mark,
there would have been danger of swamp
ing the Massachusetts in the dock, just rs
the Texas was sunk by the breaking Of a
sea cock.
Naval Constructor BOwies heaved q sigh
OF relief at O'Clock this afternoon when
the last ore of these pipes WAS securely
in place and caulked and the ship was
safe in that respect. Soon after that he
ordered water let into the dock up to the
twcnty-foot mark for the double purpose
Of testing the tightness Of the caulsing
of the new pipes and to relieve the
strain on the lining of the dock from the
water gathered behind il and fec ding the
leaks If the new pipes are found to he
tight and everything else shipshape about
the Massachusetts, the dock will be en-
tirely flooded at high tide and the ship
will be f1oated out. \

SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT
Young Thomas Falls From a
Slippery Rock and Is Lost.
VAIN EFFORT TO SAVE HIM
Was Fishing Near Chain Bridge
With Some Companions and Fell
Into the Potomac Where the
Water Is Swift and Deep Strug-
giles Witnessed From the shore.

A boy named Thomas, about sixteen
years OF age, while fishing near the CHI oip
Bridge yesterday afternoon, accidentally
fell into the river and was drowned His
body was not recovered
The lad was the adopted son OF George
W. Thomas, of this city, and the family,
together with several friends, were spend
ing the day up the river and at Cabin
John Bridge. Mr.. Thomas and his wife
were members of the party and at the
Chain Bridge young Thomas and three or
four other boys started out to spend a
short time fishing
They selected spot on ledge of rocks
where the water runs rather swiftly anu
cast in their lines For some time they
sat quietly and drew forth a good string
of herring. Finally young Thomas thought
he saw a better pool and made an at
tempt TO change his position. The rocks
are rather slippery where the water has
washed up on them, and the water is
quite deep while the current runs swiftly
AS he started to step from one rock to
another, one of his companions shouted to
him TO be careful and not fall in He had
no sooner spoken than the boy made mis-
step and slipped off the rock into the
water.
At the point where he fell in there is a
little whirling eddy, which at once car
ried him down under the water.
The boy knew how To swim, but could
make no Roadway against the current,
which was rapidly carrying him out into
the stream.
He cried loudly for help and one of his
friends who was fishing beside him quickly
pulled off his coat and Jumped in to save
the life Of his companion. He, too. was
caught in the suction Of the eddy, and
instead OF being able 20 reach his friend
would himself have been drowned had it
not been for the prompt action OF a third
boy, who managed to cling to the rocks, aud
extended his hand to the young man, who
was nearly exhausted when pulled cut
upon the bank.
Young Thomas was drawn down by the
current and was not seen to rise again
The drowning was witnessed by num-
Der or persons in the party on shore, but
oil were pOwerless to save the young man.
An attempt was made to recover the
body, but owing to the fact that it was
doubtless carried some distance out into

CLowER's DEATH SUSPICIOUS.
His Father Fears He Was Murdered
and a Negro Suspected.


Atlanta Ca, May 29.-The police and
detectives were to-day searching for VIII
Marshall, the negro who was with Mar
shall Clover of Atlanta, who lost his life
al Tallulah Falls last Thursday. There
are strong suspicious that there has been
foul play, and the young mans father
T. W Clover, advised Chief Connolly
to arrest the Marshall negro.
Tho people of Tallulah Falls
are much wrought up over
the mysterious death of Clover. and
the impression prevails there that there
has been foul play. The father of the
drowned man proposes to have the death
of his son thoroughly investigated, and if
there has been any foul play he will have
it ferreted out. The body has not yet
been found.
Marshall voluntarily surrendered himself
TO the police tonight, and is now locked
up, pending an Investigation.
The father of the missing boy called
upon Chief of Police Connolly Tonight,
and made a statement concerning the
suspicion against the negro. There is no
direct evidence against him, but il appears
that he has told conflicting stories about
young Clower's fan into the Talluan
rar4ds. MIR. Clover does not think it pos
sible that his son could have fallen in
the manner described by the negro. and
suspects foul play. though he can suggest
no motive for the suspected murder.
