PARENTS SEARCH FOR BODY

George w. Grantland, aged six years,
son Of William Il. and Rosie Grantland,
was drowned at Pigeon Point on the
Delaware river about o'clock yesterday
afternoon The Grantland family live
within about 100 yards of where the
accident occurred. George, with his
brother. who is but year older than he,
had been playing along the Wilmington
& Northern railroad tracks which run
out to the point. At the time of the
accident young Grantland was sitting
on a plank fishing. The plank in some
way slipped from under him causing him
to fall into the water. A that point the
water is about four feet deep, but the
current carried the body out some dis
tance.
The brothers screams brought his
mother and father to the scene in few
minutes. When Mr.. and Mrs. Grantland
arrived ut the place where their son fell
| in the body could not be seen. They
both wadpd in the mud and water in
| search for the body. 1t was nearly two
hours before they recovered it.
| Coroner Frick was notified and made
m investigation. He gave Il certificate
af death from drowning.

A resolution of sympathy, in which
moral support to the machinists in the
nine hour struggle was pledged, was
passed by the Council of the Allied
Building Trades.
The Metal Polishers' Union this morn
ing offered its hall at No. 1011 Spring
Garden street to the striking machinists
free of charge for use as meeting
