PRIEST TOLD
OF A TRAGEDY
John J. Hughes, Jr., Was Drowned
IN Delaware River.
WAS CAUGHT IN the RAPIDS
Friends Did Not Knew ufihu Accldsnt Untll
They Attended The Unfortunate Young
Mans Funeral
WAS CAUGHT IN THE RAPIDS

New York. July 7.--At a solemn requiem
mass celebrated yesterday In the Church
OF the Transhguration. Marcy avenue and
Hooper street. Williamsburg, over the
body OF John J. Hughes, Jr, news OF a
tragic drowning accident was made pub
lie for the first time.
Friends Of young Hughes. who was
wealthy and belonged to several Brooklyn
clubs. had supposed he had died natur-
al death until they heard OF the accident
from the Rev. James Mcclure. who cele-
brated the mass.
Both Hughes. who was thirty years old.
and his friend. Arthur Evans. OF this city.
lost their lives In the accident. which oc-
CURED IN the Delaware river. near Haw-
kins, a small village In Sullivan county.
Hughes was a son OF John Hughes, a
wealthy door. sash and blind manufac-
turer In Twenty-third street. Manhattan.
who lives at 2el Hewes street. Williams
burg.
In search OF better health, Hughes went
TO Equanox. Wayne county. Pa. on May
Q. intending 20 spend the summer there.
Boon after reaching the place he had a
canoe sent UP from New York and spent
much time on the Delaware river.
Evans. who was twenty years old, join
ed him q week ago. and the two planned
a canoeing trip down the river. They en-
pioyed q guide named Spencer and start
ed last Wednesday. The canoe was NOV
ing down stream near Hawkins. when the
guide apparently lost his bearings.
All were horr1hed 10 see rapids with
their foaming water In front OF them.
Spencer. without warning, leaped from
the canoe and Hughes and Evans tumbled
into the water.
Though both were strong swimmers
they seemed powerless amid the rear OF
the angry waters and they were drowned.
1t is believed their bodice came In con-
tact with rocks so that they became un-
conscious and helpless. In fact. when
young Hughes body was found the face
was crushed In. showing the blow from
the rocks must have como with terrific
force.
Spencer gave the alarm and search for
the bodies was begun at once. The body
OF Hughes was found that day. but that
OF Evans, so far as is known, has not
been recovered News OF Hughes death
was telegraphed to the young mans faith
er. and he returned to Williamsburg with
the body.
The Church Of the TRANSPORTATION was
filled yesterday with friends OF the young
man and his family. In his address
Father Mcclure referred with sadness 70
the death of the promising young man
whose career had been 30 suddenly cut
short, and many In the church shed
tears.
Hughes was a member OF the Hanover
and Congress clubs OF Brooklyn. and also
OF the Nassau wheelmen. He was an en-
thusiastic amateur racer. and had won
many prizes on the track. Ten years ago
he inherited a fortune from his grand
father. The interment was In Calvary
cemetery
