DROWNING ACCIDENT.
MRS. EUGENE JELLISON, OF
MARIAvILLE, THE VICTIM.
NARROW ESCAPE OF THREE OTHERS
ACCIDENT DUE TO FRESHET
ON UNION RIVER.

The freshet on Union river has resulted
In the loss OF one life. Mrs. Eugene
Jellison, of Mariaville, was the victim.
Last Sunday about noon Mrs. Jellison,
with her daughter Carrie, Mrs. Eugene
Treworgy and Miss Carrie Parsons, all of
Mariaville, went to the river in the vicin-
ity OF Jordan's bridge to see the high
water. At the river they found boat,
and then 1t was suggested that they CROSS
the river to visit some friends in
Waltham.
At this point the river runs very swift
ly. The road and bridge are impossible,
but there was just about room enough
under the bridge for the boat to pass.
The women attempted to Cross just above
the bridge, instead Of going to the usual
crossing place further up stream, where
the current is less rapid.
The two women and girls were standing
up in the boat. When they got into the
current of the stream, they lost control OF
the boat, and it was swept down upon the
bridge. A swirl in the current gave the
boat sudden turn, and Mrs. Jelison was
thrown into the water. She was swept
away by the current. Her daughter
thinks she saw her come TO the surface
once below the bridge.
Mrs. Treworgy managed somehow to
| gain the bridge, while the two girls re-
naming in tfe boat dropped to the bot
| tom as it was swept under the bridge.
| Mrs. Treworgy held the boat with her
foot until one Of the girls pushed the
| painter Of the boat up through the
bridge, and Mrs. Treworgy made it fast.
The girls then gained the bridge throug b
holes where planks had been carried
| away by the freshet. One Of the girls
succeeded in reaching the shore and sum-
moning assistance.
| Constant search for Mrs. Jellison's body
| has been made since the accident, but so
far without success. A cloak which she
| wore was found some distance below the
bridge.
| There was narrow escape from an
other accident just below the bridge Sun
| day afternoon. Moses Haslem, OF Wal
| than, Alderman B. s. Jellison, of Ellis
worth Falls, who happened to be in Wal
| than, and a man employed by Alex Nor
rison, were in boat, searching for the
| body of Mrs. Jellison. The boat was
overturned in the rapid current, and the
men reached shore with some difficulty.
| Mrs. Jelison was about thirty five years
of age. She leaves a husband and four
| children.

is not yet out OF the lakes. Roderick Me-
Donald expects to start his hardwood

600, 900 feet in the drive. The total cut on
Union river this year is about 100000
feet, W hich is not as much as IL was hoped
to get out. The deep snow seriously in
terfered with operations. The 5000, 900

repaired before these drives can be

The Cheap Meal With Beer and

NONE NEED TO GO HUNGRY

The lunch question is problem of no I'M
important proportions to great many OF
the thousands of citizens of Washington
whose toll keeps them down town through
the day. 1t is gratifying to note that there
is constantly increasing recognition of
this fact on the part of those who cater to
the luncheon-seeking throngs, and every
month finds additions to the city's accom-
modations in this respect.
Better food in greater variety, more
tastefully served and for reasonable price,
is being provided all the time, and the lunch
rooms are rapidly spreading through the
downtown section. Many of the establish
ments that started upon a modest basis are
expanding their facilities in response to the
demands of business and cheap breakfasts,
dinners and suppers are now easily obtain
able. 1t is certainly subject for congratu-

MISS SELIGMAN INDIGNANT,
Wrongful Use of Her Name in Raths
keller Shooting Affair.

Wrongful Use of Her Name in Raths-
keller Shooting Affair.
A dispatch from New York says Miss
Minnie Seigman is very indignant over
the association of her name with the shoot
ing affair in the Pabst Rathskeller Thurs
day night. In an interview yesterday Miss
Seligman said:
1T is very unfortunate that I should
have been named as the central figure in
the occurrence at Pabsts last night 1 not
only was not in that restaurant but 1
left the theater about midnight with my
sister. Mrs. Martin Kaufman, and her hus-
band and some other friends. We drove to
the Arena, where we joined another party
and ate supper, after which my sister and
her husband accompanied me to my home,
in West 18th street, and l was asleep in
my bed long before the shooting at Pabst's
occurred.
Il cannot conceive" said Miss seligman.
why Mr.. Dingwall or Mr. Leffingwell, for
the apparent purpose Of trying to shield
the real party. should have endeavored to
fasten the odium Of this affair on me-"
What do you think actuated Mr.. Ding
wall to say it was you who was present,
instead of Miss Buckley?''
Il can only refer you to Mr. Dingwall
and Miss Buckley to answer that question, 1"
said Miss seligman, struggling her
Il really know OF no reason why Mr..
Dingwall should endeavor to injure me in
such a manner, nor do I believe he men
toned my name deliberately. He prob
ably did it on the impulse of the moment,
in the excitement of the occasion
When Mr. Hummel was asked If it was
Miss Seligman's desire to institute pro-
ceedings for libel against those who had
maligned her he said: when we get at
the bottom OF this miserable affair you
may be sure we will take action against
those responsible for such an atroeious
libel"
