SAD ACCIDENT.
Jerry Hoskins Drowned Ten
Days Ago near Parkersburg.

Was q Resident Of this Place.-His
Mother a Widow--Not Notified of the
Death--Report confirmed by Parkers-
burg PoIice--very peculiar actions Of
the people who were with him when
the Accident Occurred.
Ten DAYS ago Jerry Hoskins who
was a resident of this place was
drowned in the Littla Kanawha river
about Z miles above Parkersburg.
His mother did not hear of the sad
accident until within a day or so.
The news came through letter from
Henry Snider, colored barber who
is known here but who is now located
at Parkersburg. He had heard of
the accident and wrote Mrs. Hoskins
about the matter. She is a widow
and lives in the Shanks house on
Spruce street.
The news was a great shock
to her and she had Frank Cox make
inquiries concerning it. He tele-
phoned to the police at Parkersburg
and they confirmed the report. The
accident happened while Hoskins
was crossing the river in skiff. He
was working on the Little Kanawha
railroad which is being built up the
river to Parkersburg. So far as
could be learned no effort was made
to find his relatives or friends and
he was buried where the body was
recovered on the bank of the river
More information will be forwarded
by the Parkersburg police as soon
as they can make an Investigation.
The conduct of the people who bur
led the unfortunate young man with
such indecent haste is the subject of
much unfavorable comment on the
part of the people about town who
are aware of the facts in the case.
The drowned man was well known
here and was an excellent young fell
low. He had severe attack of fever
in the sumner. His mother has the
sympathy Of the community in her
bereavement.

The information that the body of
Jerry Hoskins had been recovered
after he was drowned in the Little
Kanawha river as detailed in this
paper yesterday was an error. The
Parkersburg police have made furth-
er inquiry and yesterday evening
told Frank Cox what they had
learned about the accident. The
Identification had been made by
means Of large fur coat which had
been sent Jerry from home a short
time before This was recovered but
the body was swept away. The ac-
cident occurred while he and others
were crossing the river in skifi
when by some means he fell over
board and was drowned before as
sistance could reach him. The prob
abilities are that the body will never
be recovered.

No Cut In Official Salaries.

The New Hampshire state grange
notes the reduction in cotton mil
wages at Manchester and other places
in the state and calls for like re-
duction in official salaries. That is
a keen thrust, but it will not draw
blood. Public officials down this
way are rather demanding more pay
and seem to be safe if not always
successful in so doing.
