run Gown by a tusboat belonging to the New-York,
New-Haven and Hartford Railroad Company and
capsizcd off Jackson-st. in the East River yester-
day afternoon. The occupants OF the rowboat were
thrown into the water and one of the young men

of a fleet which is used In the transfer OF
freight cars from the Harlem River branch OF
the railroad at Port Morris to the Jersey City sta
ton.
Three Of the young men were rescued and taken
TO Gouverneur Hospital. where they were dried out
and sent home. The other young man was nowhere

bottom, although he was considered to be good
swimmer.

Metsger. seventeen. Of No. ss Ffth-st; Joseph AL
bert seventeen of No. 135 Cannon-st.. and Charles
Mathete. sixteen Of No. 1851 Lewis-st. The last
named is supposed to have been drowned.
