DROWNED IN RIVER.
ARTHUR G. CURTIS, OF AUGUSTA,
FELL FROM DREDGER.
WELL KNOWN HERE, WHERE HE HAD
WORKED TWO SUMMERS STORY
OF THE ACCIDENT.

Arthur G. Curtis, of Augusta, who was
Union river, was drowned Tuesday morn
ing. Just how the accident happened is
not known. No one saw him fall, or
heard any outcry. When he was missed
search was made. His hat was first found
floating under the stern of the dredger.
His body was found three hours later.
Curtis was employed as assistant by U.
8. Inspector E. e. Pettee, who is engaged
on the dredging work being done here by
the government. He went to work Tues
day morning on the dredger "Neponset",
which was at work just above Indian
Point.
part OF Curtis duties was the taking
of observations and soundings. A book
in which he recorded his observations
contained notes made that morning as to
condition of weather, etc. He had set
down the hour, 35, and the condition of
the tide. His next step was to record sew
eral soupdings from the stern of the
dredger. He evidently had just begun
this part OF the work when he fell over
board, for no depths we're recorded. The
sounding chain was found where he fell.
No one saw him fail, and no outcry was
heard by the men at work on the dredger.
He was missed about o'clock. How
long before that time and after the hour
OF 6 80 he fell into the river, no one knows.
He could not swim.
Several boats were soon dragging for
the body, but not until 10 O'Clock was the
search successful. The body was found
only a short distance from where The acci-
| dent occurred. The condition of the
| body led to the opinion that death was
not directly due to drowning. There was
no water on the lungs, and physicians
who made basty examination expressed
| the opinion that he was unconscious when
he reached the water. There were nc
bruises on the body to indicate that he
struck anything in falling, and Coroner
Fields inclines to the belief that death
was due to heart failure or rupture of q
| blood vessel.
Coroner Fields was present when the
body was recovered. No inquest was
deemed necessary. The body was re-
moved to Jordan's undertaking rooms
The family in Augusta was notified.
Curtis was twenty-one years of age
He was a companionable young fellow, o
good habits, and during the past tive
summers in which he had been engaged
on the dredging work here, he mad,

A Warning Against Cheap Furnitur

n w ASdluoi ShOdP
1t is one of the saddest sig hts in our
modern life to see young couple, when
starting to furnish a home, 20 out with
good money and buy bad furniture. 1t fs
positively nothing short of criminal for
cheap department and furniture stores to
be allowed to sell the furniture which Is
being offered day in our great cities.
Young people are attracted t. this rub
bish because Of cheap prices. Every stick
of the furniture offered at these stores Is
cheaply put together, and by glue and
thick coats of veneer is made only to sell.
1t barely gets into the new house before
it falls apart, and what was thought to be
a cheap purchase turns out 10 be very
expensive Investment.
1t is strange that folks cannot get It
through their heads that bed, table
and two chairs, honestly made, are
cheaper at $50 than one of those fearful
copcoctions known as "bedroom suits"
which are sold at S4o.s3.-Ladies' Home

TO GUARD J. p. MORGAN
Story From London That Detectives
Will Ward on Cranks-

New York, March 27.-The Herald
says: 1t was reported last night that
Mr.. J. p. Morgan had postponed the
date Of his sailing for Europe in conse-
quence of advices received from Scot
land Yard. London. which told OF a plot
against his life
Mr. Morgan could not be seen last
night but Mr. Charles Steele, one of his
partners, said there was absolutely no
truth in the report. Mr.. Steele said he
did not know when Mr. Morgan intends
to sail.

tains the following.
1T is very probable that Scotland
Yard Will be asked to protect J. Pier
pont Morgan from violence at the hands

sent to him from this side and many of
his London friends and business associ-
ates claim to know that several ultra
patriotic fanatics have designs on the
man who purposes to wipe out the steel
trade of England
New York, March 27--Captain Titus
said last night that no communication
has been received by the police depart
ment here which would cause the au-
thOrities to send an alarm across the
sea- NO letters threatening Mr.. Morgan
have been sent to police headquarters
here and the chief of the bureau has no

WE ACHE FOR CUBA.
Mr.. Warner Thinks 1t a Shame
to Lose the Island.

New York, March 27.-Representative
Warner OF Illinois. who has just return
ed from an extended. tour through Cuba,
believes the constitution convention will
accept the Platt amendment. says a
Washington special to the World Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Warner said:
I'VE must of course turn the land over
to the Cubans but it is a crime against
humanity to withdraw at this time.
When our troops leave the island you
will witness a reign OF lawlessness which
will startle the world and compel US in
the name of justice to take matters into
our own hands. The Cubans will sign
anything or do anything to get as away
from their property, and when they
have the reins in their own hands You
can expect the worst
Prom what I can learn they will
assess everybody with any money and
have a division OF the spells. They will
drive all SpaniardS and American sym
pathizers from the island and for brief
period win revel in loot. Law and order
will become a mockery and a state Of
anarchy will reign.
1T is foolishness to talk of the Cubans
governing themselves at this time or for
years to come. The island must become
ours eventually and it seems a shame to
undo all the progress made in two years.
AS it will be. we will have to intervene
within ninety days and set up a protec-
torate again to begin the work of recon-
StructiOn anew.

to other navy yards and become a. power
for securing work for yard employees in
the future. The organization, which has
been named the Society of Ship and Ma
rine Engine Builders, was formed at a
meeting of the navy yard employees as
ISOLATION The primary object of the
new organization, which it is aimed to
make a national one, is to influence con-
gress to provide that some of the navy's
ship building be done at the navy yards.
The formation of the new organization
practically does away with the local or
ganization, the objects of which were
very much the same. It was felt that q
national society would, by it's larger
membership and greater influence, COM
mand more attention from congress than
a local orgaization. So far as possible
only workers in the different navy yards
will be admitted to membership in the
new organization.
At the meeting bylaws were adopted
copies which win be sent to other
navy yards with the suggestion that
branch organizations be formed in these
places, SO that there will be a number
of them ready to work together in the
fall and cast their combined influence
upon the various members of congress
from different parts of the country.
