WILLIAM CHICK DROWNED.
EmplOye of Capital Traction Conn
pany Finds Wntery Grave.

William Chick, resident of Harlem, a
suburb of Georgetown. was drow ned yes
terday in the Potomac. about mile from
the Aqueduct bridge. Ur to a few minutes
before noon today the body had not been
recovered though the police patrol boat
vas at work dragging for it. The accident
occurred about o'clock in the afternoon
and was witnessed by number of peo-
pie.
Chick and friend named Henry Weldon
we're in boat fishing. The craft was
drifting i'm the river. and when opposite
the quarry of +. G.. Gummell on the Nir-
ginia side several blasts had bsen igni.ed
and were about to explode. The working
men at the quarry seeing the men in the
Eoat, and fearing that they would be struck
by flying pieces of rock, yelled for the two
men to crouch down in the boat. Weldon
did So but Chick seemed to lose his heal
and went overheard. The man was of
heavy build. and after struggling in the
water for short time he sank to the bot
tom. The superintendent of the quarry,
Mr.. r. p. Shelton Of 122G 2Sth street AMI
William Travers. a colored laborer. en-
deavored to save the drowning man, but
to no avail.
The police were Immediately notified of
the occurrence. and through the seventh
precinct the harbor police were notified.
Chick was employed by the Capital Trac-
ton Company, having been in their en-
ploy for several years. He was well known
and much liked, and his sudden death is
regretted. The bottom of the river at
the place of the drowning is so uneven,
being filed with jutting rocks, that some
difficulty may be experienced in recovering
the body.

Auxiliary Cruiser VIII De Ready Ia
Sail Monday.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2I.-The mount
ing of the thirty guns on the auxiliary
cruiser St. Paul, which is being fitted out
at Cramps shipyard, was completed today.
The work of transferring her goes rapidly
an, and painters were engaged today in
putting on her war paint. She will be
ready for scout duty on Monday.
1t is expected that all but a very small
portion of her crew will enlist in the Amer
can navy. The St. Paul will leave Cramps
on Sunday and Will sail light to a point
in the Delaware bay where the cruiser will
take on full supply of coal. The reason
for taking on the coal down the bay is to
avoid the shoals in the ship channel and
also to avoid the submarine mines in the
vicinity of Fort Delaware.
