Two Young Men Killed on the
Delaware River Near Beverly
Last Night.

BEVERLY, June 1.-At nearly the
same spot where six Philadelphians
were drowned last September by a
collision between a naphtha launch
and a barge last night two Beverly
young men lost their lives by an ex-
plosion on a gasoline launch.
Chalmer Davis, of South Beverly,
who during the winter months built
a launch which was foated for the
first time Sunday, and had not as
yet been named, this evening ar
ranged for an outing for two of his
most intimate friends. Those who
were to accompany him were Ellis
Stackhouse, formerly of Lansdowne,
Pa, and who came to Beverly, but
three weeks ago, and Frederick Sew
ers, a popular young man, and a
member of Progressive Council, ia
nior Order United Americans and al
so of the local military company.
The three boarded the boat and
Davis succeeded in getting the engine
started, but did not notice that there
was a leakage of gasoline. Davis vol
unteered TO cast off from the moor
ings, and this act probably saved his
life. Sewers and Stackhouse were
seated near the engine and n of
them struck a match. Instantly there
was an explosion and the boat was in
flames.
