Three Men Drowned.

The report circulated in this city yes
terday to the effect that there had been
drowning accident in the Potomac q
short distance below this city proved to
be correct. Three Italians while engag-
ed in construction work on railroad
now being laid along Nebsseo creek at
Freestoue, we're drowned. The men, 1t
appears, were arranging temporary
structure for the purpose Of bridging the
stream and in some manner fell into the
water and sank before help could reach
them. George T. Franklin, superin'
tendent of the work, wired Capt. Board
man, of Washington, of the fatality and
asked that police boat be dispatched
to the scene, but as it was out of the
jurisdiction of the District of Columbia
the request WAS not granted. The bod
les have not been recovered.
