On the way she met q white man
named Daniels, who works on the Him
ton place, and told him. He went i'm
mediately to the spot, and found the
bodies in the water as above described.
James Hinton being near the bank he
was easily recovered by breaking the Ice
above him. But the others were much
further out, in deeper water and on
the bottom. BY this time, however, the
news had spread through the commun-
ity and people came running to the spot.
The boat was soon cut from the ice,
graphing hooks were secured and the
bodies recovered.
After making an examination Of the
bodies DR.. Marshburn gave it as his
opinion that they had been in the
water some six hours. If this is true
they were drowned about noon.
1t was about 8 o'clock at night before
Capt. Williamson and the party from
I;aleigh reached there. They started
back with the bodies at the earliest pos
sible minute. The return trip was nee
e~ssarily solw, and it lacked only a few
minutes of midnight when they reached
here.
But despite the l~ateness of the hour a
large crowd of people at once collected
about the undertaking establishment to
which the bodies of the boys Were

Prof Morson's Tribute,

Ii recording the terrible disaster by
which the lives of three of our bright
and promising youths were so suddenly
blotted out on yesterday, it may be
some consolation to the hearts Of the
bereayed parents to know in what terms
of Borrowing praise their teacher. Prof.
Hugh Morson. spoke of them when he
called last night to request the notice to
be inserted which appears elsewhere.
lie spoke of their presence at schOol on
the day before they met their sad fate,
and the happy, beaming faces they show
ed in discussing their proposed trip.
Mial Williamson had been a pupil of
the school for two years.
In department and application to his
studies, he had always given entire sat
lsfactlon to his teachers, and he displayed
abilities of a very high order, especially
IN mathematics. Young as he was, he
was almost prepared to enter college.
Edwin Lee and James Hunter entered
the Academy at the opening of the pres
ent session. They were diIigent in their
studies, faithful in the discharge of every
duty. and beloved by their teachers and
Sclool-mates, who. next to the imme-
dlate circle of their own stricken reia-
yves Will feel most keenly the untimely
loss OF these three bright young lives.
The funeral of Mail Williamson and
Edwin Lee was held from Edenton
street Methodist church Sunday after
noon, attended by a vast concourse of
people. The funeral of James Hinton
was neld from his late residence Monday
morning.

The Dead Brought Home.

$3.50
Mr.. Hinton's farm. He was very much
excited and could give no really intelligl-
BILE account of how it all happened. On
had been in this city during the day.
next to hear it was Mr.. Lee and then
Capt. Williamson.
The news now spread rapidly over the
city, casting upon all a deep gloom Of
sorrow. 1t came with such sudden
ness, such ter. ible force that it was
hard to realize its truth. The shock to
Mr.. Lee was so great that 4 physician
had to be called in. Capt. Williamson,
stronger inc of less nervous tempera-
ment, stood it bravely and started at
once to the scene of the drowning to help
recover the bodies. Others joined him,
and still others followed-hands anxious
to help and hearts beating in sympathy.
But long ere they reached the spot
the bodies had been taken from the wa
ter by the people Of the community,
n all that human power could do had
been done.
Into the stricken homes here the peo-
pie Went-hundreds of them-to offer
sympathy and assistance. and to speak
words of consolation. The city was lit
orally in mourning.
Nothing else was discussed on the
streets, and the return of those who
had gone for the dead was anXiously
awaited.
On arrival here the bodies were taken
first to Undertaken Browns establish
ment and then sent to their homes.

They Were Not Skating.

It will never be known exactly how
the accident occurred.
1t was at first supposed that the boys
had gone skating and the ice had given
away with them. This seems not to be
true. In the first place they had. no
skates. And there We're on the ice no
marks as of one sliding on his ~shoe-soles.
Another peculiar thing about it's that
the hole in the ice was 4 very small one,
not more than five or six feet in dame
ter. Besides that there was q paddle.
taken from the boat, floating on the
water with the caps. This leads to the
belief that they We're all down on the
ice together, trying to break a small hole
IN it with the paddle, When the ice sud
denly gave way with them.
The first Raleigh man to learn of the
drowning was Mr.. Maud Fleming. who
happened to be in that neighborhood.
Others who went out from here were:
Capt. 3. P. Williamson, Ed. Fl. Lee,
James i. Johnson, Van B. Moore. John
W. Brown. /. NJ. Proctor, Joseph Blake,
Garland ines, B. S. Jerman. J. D. Tur-
ner. w. w. Green, j. NJ. Aver, f. A.

Saturday about noon, at Hinton's
pond, eight miles northwest of this city,
three boys, sons of prominent tlzens Of
were drowned. They were:
MIAL WILLIAMSON, age -, son
Of Capt. 3. p. Williamson, treasurer of
this county, were drowned. They were:
EDWIN LEE, age IA, only son Of
Mr.. Clee r. Lee, a prominent leaf tob&e-
co dealer.
JAMES HINTON, age 10, only son Of
Mr.. Charles Hinton, formerly executive
clerk Of Governor Carr.
The boys were school-mates and de-
voted friends. They had planned to
spend the day hunting on Mr.. Hinton's
farm, but they never fired a gun.
They had gone only a mile and a half
from the Hinton residence before they
came to a pond, known as "Hinton's
pond" and maintained by several gentle
men in this city for fishing purposes.
This being frozen over they placed
their guns on the bank and went out on
the ice. But they had not gone far be-
fore it broke and all three went under
together.
-Four hours later they were found, fro
zen and ~lifeless, under the ice. Mial
Williamson and Edwin Lee, such devoted
friends in life, were lying almost side
by side on the bottom in water about
six feet deep. Some ten feet away, in
water about two feet deep, and close to
the bank, was James Hinton, floating
near the top.
He was the first recovered, by a man
standing on the bank and breaking the
ice. A boat and graphing hooks had
to be used to secure the bodies of Mial
Williamson and Edwin Lee.
When the bodies were taken from the
water all possible efforts We're made TO
restore respiration, but in vain. DR.. II.
II. Marshburn was sent for and arrived
about & o'clock. He was of opinion that
the boys had been dead about six hours.
1t was Z O'Clock before the news
reached here. Immediately quite a NUM-
Der. Of Raleigh representatives and
friends of the stricken families went out
to the scene Of the accident.
They did not return until near mid
night, bringing with them the dead
bodies Of Mial Williamson and Edwin
Lee, James Hinton having been taken
to his own home, near the pond in which
they were drowned.

MAYOR HARRISON says Jeffries and Sharkey cannot fight in the pneumatic municipality wherein he hath jurisdic- tion. The mayors resolve undoubtedly meets with the approval of all. If the big-thewed lecturers would really fight, as did their prototypes, the gladiators, they w0Gfd experience no difficulty in arranging for punching seances. If a man did not want to see them, he need not attend their exhibitions of scientific principles. But when it is considered that they talk necessarily during weary year intervals between the rare occa- sions upon which they tight--that their fights, in short, are merely bluffs in- dulged Tn for the purpose of advertising the theatrical companies and gin-mllls owned by the wind-gladiators. the only correct course is to stop them, and make them earn their living.

MONDAY. APRIL 30.
AcANARD.

A rumor industriously circulated here 'cf late. to the effect that the Nacosari 'and Gulf railroad project had been abandoned, upon investigation ha, proven absolutely bassless. As rumors often are within the domain of news, i. was published as rumor. Subsequent information has convinced the ORE that the story of the Copper Queens disposal of it's concession from the Mexican gov ernment not only has no foundation in fact but that very probably it may have had birth in the too busy brain of some vicious person who might, in some way further personal schemes by the effect oi such talk.
 The preparations for resumption of railroad construction now under way at the thriving burg of Naco, and the com plete lack of the slightest atom of truth at the bottom of the fool report, con- vinces the ORB that it has been tricked into using windy nothingpess for news.

A MEETING of the editors and repre- sentatives of the newspapers of this county was held at Benson yesterday. One of the results of conference be- tween the men who seek to influence public opinion, and to reflect public thought from the pages of their journals, should be an understanding that spirit cd enterprise, and desire for pubic good, should dominate mere personal feeling and self aspiration. To present the news to the public, the best news, is the foremost duty of the paper. The dissemination of news relating to the prosperity of the town and county aids the progress of the people and calls at tention to the wealth anc capabilities of the district. Fair comment on local and outside events is, of course, an es- sential feature, but the real object is to conduct clean, progressive sheet in the interests of the locality, represented without fear or favor. The true efforts of the proprietors of the local paper in the cause of prosperity is always appre- ciated by the public, and there should be at all times ready response from the citizens of the district, whose inter- eats in that district are at stake, to the honest and painstaking efforts of the newspaper on behalf of their advance. mont
