DROWNED AT MARSHALL HALL

DROWNED AT MARSHALL HALL
Mrs. w. Leroy Pyles. wife Of
d.. Pyles, OF Providence Hospital,
Washington, was drowned last night
about $50 O'Clock at Marshall Hall. No
trace OF her remains was TO be found
last night. but efforts to recover the
body will bs resumed this morning.
Yesterday Dr.. Pyles and bis wife went
dow0 the river on the morning boat,
reaching Marshall Hall about noon.
Previously 1t bad been arranged that
NJ. aud Mrs. Berry, parents OF Mrs.
Pyles, should 90 down on the evening
bost and return to Washington last
night 10 company with their daughter
and her husband As she Manchester
on Der last trip down neared her wharf
d.. PILES aud his wife were standing on
the long pier stretching out iuto the
river. Mrs. Pyles held in her hand
saicheI contsioing several small arti-
ri =, which che had brought with her.
Tnis sAtchel was the cause OF the
drowning Of the young woman before
the eyes OF her husbasd aud parents.
Prior to the landing of the steamer,
Mrs PVles seems to have recognized
Der parents standing on the lower deck
not lhen from the gang plank, which had
not vet been lowered. The plank was
finally thrust out from the steamer and
several persons had already passed over
the gang plank and Mrs. Berry was
about to do so, when her daughter, who
had started to come ABOARD. fell into
the river, between the Manchester and
the pier. Mrs Berry saw her daughter
pluDge into the water and uttered a
cry Of terror aud was only prevented
from following her by force. Meanwhile
the purser OF the Mscalester, the deck
hands and others, ran TO the assistance
of Mrs Pyles. She did not rise to the
surface 1T all, probably because Of the
swift tide running at that time. 1t is
suggested that Ia falli0g the untor;un'
ate woman struck her chin against the
steamer'e side and was doubtless seri-
ousIy hurt. GA the impulse OF the mo-
ment, following the cry OF Mrs. Berry
for assistance, George z. Roberts. OF
WaabingtoD, jumped overheard after
Mrs. Pyles from the gang-plaDk OF the
steamer. Roberts seized rope which
was flung to bin from the Macalester,
and after a vain attempt to dive for the
body of Mrs. Pyles, was hauled back to
the edge OF the pier. He was then
pulled out OF the river. Owing to the
swift current Roberts himself had a
narrow escape from drowning. He was
nearly exhausted when be was taken
out OF the water. Search for the body
will be continued today.
