CeiOred Seaman Drowned.

The body of William Henry Smith
has not yet been found. Smith is the
sailor who was drowned in the river
Saturday morning last. He was sea-
man on board the schooner S. E. Will
Jams, of Baltimore, Captain Bird, on
which he shipped fortnight ago. Prior
to that he served an apprenticeship in
the coasting trade. Smith was about
twenty flour years of age, and was a
man of good habits. There was the
best of feeling between him and the
rest of the crew. His brother also work
ed on the schooner.
The accident occurred about IL O'Clock
in the morning. Smith was walking
around the boat, and is supposed to have
fallen from the rail. No one was near
enough to help him, and, although his
piteous cries brought some persons to
the spot, by the time they reached the
rivers bank he had sunk for the last
time.
The river was Immediately dragged
and the work was repeated Sunday and
yesterday, but TO no avail. Yesterday
the body was still not found.
Smith is native of Matthews county,
Va, and lived there until a few years
ago. Then he moved TO Baltimore and
finally took up the sea as a means of
ivelihood.-Times, 30th ult.

IN the secret circular, there have been no

ment.
The agitation has been carried TO the
subordinate fountains and a vigorous eff

THE FAILURE TO SIGN.
1t is now reported that the reason the
circular was not signed is due TO the fact
that through out the brotherhood were
persons aspiring to the position, of dele
gates TO the Grand Fountain.
TO make themselves known, they ar
gued would be- to give the official an op-
portunlty TO prevent their election.
The interference of Gand Worthy
