WOMEN DROWNED IN
BREVARD GREEK.
Bathers Wade Inio Water Beyond
Their Depth and Two Were Rescued
After Hard Struggle.

Two unfortunate young women,
both of whom resiied at the house of
Annie Harden On West Senate street,
were drowned yesterday afternoon
between 4 and O'Clock, while in
bathing in Brevard creek, nine miles
from the city On the Bluff road. They
were in the water with two other wo-
men while another one of the party
remained on the bank. In a venture
some spirit, made reckless, perhaps
by the use Of intoxicants, they waded
beyond their depth and being unable
to swim, would all four have been
drowned but fo" the bravery and un-
selfshness Of the one who was on the
bank of the stream and who, although
being also unable to swim, went to the
rescue of her friends and succeeded
even at the imminent risk Of her own
life in saving the lives of two Of the
helpless women in the water. The
bodies were recovered and brought to
the city to the undertaking establish
ment of j. NJ. Van Metre, where they
will be prepared for burial and held
until the relatives can be communi-
Gated with and arrangements made
for the funerals.
The two women who were drowned
were known in this city as Julia Bel
mont and Irene DeLong. The names
of the two who We're saved were Willie
Moore and Ethel McWhorter and that
of the young woman who saved them
is Marguerite Hamilton. The real
name of Julia Belmont is Miriam Cox,
and her home is in Johnston. She was
less than 20years of age. She has been
in this city for more than a year, hav-
ing come here with an officer in the
Boer war company to whom it is said
she was married here and was deserted
by him when the company left few
days later. It is understood that she
lived for awhile in Augusta and later
in Macon. Her father who is prom
inent man in his community, is criti-
cally i'll and the telegram announcing
the death of the wayward daughter
could not be delivered to him.
Irene Delong is Jewess from
Knoxville and she is also known as
Louise Steel and Beatrice Stearns, the
last it is stated being her family name.
She came to Columbia from Asheville
only four weeks ago, Marguerite Ham
ilSon, the young girl who went to the
rescue of her friends, says she will be
10 years old next Tuesday. She gives
her home as ST. Louis, where her pa
rents now reside. II is sad coinci-
dence that this tragedy should have
come into her life yesterday as she
leaves, by preaTangement, today for
Asheville, to meet her father in hopes
of effecting reconciliation with her
family. She said TO the coroner last
night that if sne were only permitted
to return to her home she would glad
