FROM THE RIVERS DEPTHS
And The Waters Possession the Body Of
Edmund RanIey is RaCoYefed.

After burial of nine days in the
rolling waters of the Ohio. not so
yards from the point where the horri-
fed spectators saw boat load of peo-
pie thrown into the swift waters and
from which the anxious watchers
waited in vain for the emergense in
health and strength of two boys, the
body of Edmund Hanley, the younger
victim of the catastrophe was again
brought to view.
The details of the accident in which
Frank and Edmund Hanley, the Is and
8 year sons respectively, of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thos. Hanley met tragic death
by drowning, are fresh in the minds of
everyone. The unusual height of the
water, the extreme swiftness of the
current which swept with great rapid
ity along the river front and the
many other circumstances which i'll
flood time revolutionize the ordinary
course of events, seemed to preclude
any possibility of ever recovering the
remains of the dead boy.
However, such consideration did not
operate to discourage the parents, and
for miles the river was searched foy
the corpse. 1t was therefore, a great
surprise to all when about 10 o'clock
Thursday morning the lads body,
which by this time was supposed to be
far down the river. was found at the
ferry float.
Judging that the stage of the river
was such as to not render search
fruitless, Marshal J. H. Dye carefully
examined the course which he thought
the current would take any object
| such as he was looking for, and came
to the conclusion that the body ought
to be some place above the mouth OF
the Muskingum. Just below the fer
ry feat, where there is a break in the
levce, there grow a clump Of Willows
in slight indention of the bank
The current which is caused by the
broken levee forms an eddy at this
point and anything entering would
tend to remain there, held by the CEN
tripital force of swirling water. At
ter short search with pole which
he used to sound the bottom, Marshal
| Dye came upon substance which did
not have the power of resistance pos
| sessed by the river bed. Finally, sue
ceeding in drawing the object to the
surface of the water he found that he
| had discovered the lost boy.
The water was about five feet deep
in the channel at this point. The re-
remains were laid on the ferry float
and the Coroner was summoned. but as
he was out of the city Squire Kidd was
called and performed that officials du-
| ties.
A red line extending across the fore
head just above the eyebrows was the
only unusual thing to attract attention
with the exception of the peculiar hue
drowned people always have.
The parents were notified of the re-
covery, after which the remains were
taken to Weisers undertaking estab
lishment for embalming. The funeral
is set for O'Clock Saturday morning
from st. Marys Catholic church and
the interment will be made in the
cemetary of that faith.

DESERTS MADE TO BLOOM.
DR.. c. w. Woodbridge Has Plan to
Reclaim Arid Lands of
Arizona.

DIR. c. w. Woodbridge, a well-known
Ohio scientist, advocates the creation
of "A glacier at the top of the San Ber-
nardino mountains in California that
would change the arid lands of Arizona
and southern California into a garden.
He would have the standing army en-
.ployed, and suggests as one of its
tasks that it erect an immense chin
ney on the Pacific coast of such height
that the ocean air would be carried to
the top of the San Bernardino noun
tains, where by atmospheric action it
would be reduced to an extremely low
temperature, thus forming, according
to Mr.. Woodbridge, an immense glacier.
The presence of this glacier would
cause sufficiency of rainfall, which
in that country is now lacking be-
cause the upper stratum of atmos-
phere is too warm.
He also suggests that the water
courses of the mountain regions of the
west could be harnessed by electric
dynamos which would furnish power
to till the fields. The land he would
have irrigated by underground wa
ter courses and all over the farms he
would have trolley tracks so that
farm wagons could be run easily
everywhere.

three great fires OF Richmond. The
first was the burning of the Richmond
Theatre, in 1911: the second was the
burning of the old Spotswood Hotel.
on Christmas morning, 1910. Each
was attended by great loss OF life.
There were no lives lost in the Jeffer-

far greater than any the city has ever
known save that accompanyin" the
evacuation by the COnfederates, in

WAS HARD FIRE TO FIGHT.
Firemeu Worked Hard. But Under Difficulties.
Story of the Fire.


The jefferson Hotel fire was most
difficult one to fight and the firemen were
handicapped from the start they
fought. however. with wonderful effec-
tiveness, and from the surrounding
housetops streams from all sides We're
poured in on the seethins furnace below.
The rear of the hotel, fronting on the
Main-Street side, however. it was seen
from almost the very beginning was
doomed but every effort and every trick
known to tire-Iighters of long experience
was brought into use. All failed and
only the Frankiin-Street front and the
power house were saved. How all the
guests escaped is a mystery.
The first intimation that the hotel was
on fire. from all that can be learned,
came from one of the walters named
Quarles There was at first attempt
made by those in the hotel to eXtinEuish
the blaze. but finding their efforts futile
q special alarm was sent in. Engine
Company No. responded. but soon a
general alarm was struck and the entire
department was called out
The men We're none too soon. Before
they arrived flames had broken through
the windows OF the top floor and roof
garden, as well from the roof on the
roof garden. Streams were at once
turned on from Main. Jefferson. and
Adams Street sides of the building. but
for long while these many streams
seemed to have no effect whatever. II
anything the fire demon seemed to grow
oEiy more determined and bent on COM
pletins his pitiIess work.
DESPERATE PLAN OF RESCUE.
Then it was that desperate plan of
rescue and to fight the flames from the
inside OF the burning building was de-
termined upon. Brave men followed dar-
ing leaders and made their way to the
upper stories of the hotel Captains Wise
and Hundley were among the first to
gain access to the burning structure, and
