MARROW ESCAPE.
Wealthy New York Lady Rescued From
Drowning After Being In Water Over
an Hour.-Her Maid Drowned.

Pikeville, April 2O.-Mrs. J. Kittel,
Of New York City, who owns a large
stock farm and mineral estate on Cum
berland mountain, arrived here Thurs
day evening en- route to her place.
Yesterday morning she, with her maid
and oolored driver, started and got on
top of the mountain where they en-
countered swollen stream, caused by
the recent heavy rain, and upon driV-
ing into it the hack was submerged and
the maid and two horses drowned, while
Mrs. Kittel was gotten on top of the
hack by the driver and held there until
assistance arrived an hour later and
rescued her, she being partially under
water all the time. Being an elderly
lady it will perhaps iniure her health
for life.
The Ssquachee river is an immense
stream and by morning will be higher
than possibly for years, and should it
rain more will get above the mark OF
1875, when it reached the highest stage
known here.
