THREE DROWNED
ORANGE NEGRO COLONY is
SADDENED TODAY.
Bodies of Homer Reid and William
Gray, Who Met Death with Plainheld
Woman, Due Home This Afternoon.

A happy throng of negroes who set OH
from Orange yesterday on an excursion TO
Boynton Beach returned last night filled
with grief. for two of their number,
Homer Reid. of 46 Parrow street. and
William Gray. OF 111h Seventh street,
Orange. both of whom. with Miss Anna
Peterson. of Plainfield, were drowned about
half a miIe>off from the beach while out
In q boat during the afternoon. The merri-
Sment which usually accompanies a crowd or
colored folks on for a happy Tune was
friends In Orange awaiting the sad news
when the excursionists returned to the city
on trolley cars. The bodies were recovered.
1t was the annual excursion of the negro
churches In Orange.
Reid. who formerly was a football player
and who played tackel on the knicker-
becker team. of Orange, went to the assist
ance of one of the two women In the party
when it was seen all were in dangerous
straits. and afte, performing good work
went back to help the others, but was
drawn down in a death grip and drowned
He was the only one of the party who
could swim. This is one Of the stories
told. but there was considerable confusion
and many of the tales differ.
Another story told was that the three,
who lost. their lives, with Miss Iva Henry,
of Plainfield. went out in a boat that was
supposed to accommodate but two. The
young men had made the acquaintance OF
the girls during the day and a ride out in
the round bottom boat was proposed. The
IN tnan, 1t is said, told the young people
n four could not ride in the boat safely.
but they insisted on going out and started
off with the warning still ringing In their
ears. Some on the shore say that they
saw ore of the young men rocking the
boat. The sea was choppy at the time
and a swash is said to have also ASSISTED
m the tossing about of the boat. 1t finally
turned over and all were spilled out in the
water when they were opposite the New
York side.
Life guards and others went to the as
~sistance IF the four. but they were only
able to save Miss Henry. She was quick
Nv revived and was taken home. The bodies
of the victims were taken to the Staten
Island morgue. Their bodies will be
brought back to Orange this afternoon:
Gray was the only son of Thomas Gray
and Reid was an orphan. He lived with
his sister. Mrs. Eliza Gannoway.
Last year a youth was drowned while
the same excurslon was at the beach and
the same happened the year previous.
George H. Kenton, an Orange under
taker. who was notified, he says, to care
for the bodies, called up the Staten Island
morgue today and was told that there are
three drowned men there. The Orange peo-
pie say that only two men were W

EAST ORANGE WINS
Lackawanna Railroad Abandons Its
Scheme of Consolidating Depots, at
Least for the Present.

The occupants Of property owned by the
Railroad In the vicinity Of
Clinton street. south. and Burnet street,
East Orange, who were to have moved
out August 1 have now been told by the
real estate agent who is in charge of the
props rty that they will not have to give
up the hon ies for the present, and may be
a year or several years before the Lacka-
wanna will take possession. The prop
erty, 1t is said. was purchased to erect a
new depot. and do away with the Brick
Church and East Orange depots.
The company has lately completed the
work of placing both depots in proper
condition. and 1t is said that the strenu-
Gus agitation raised by the citizens, when
the announcement came that the railroad
people were about to consolidate the de-
pots. set the company a little back. and
the promise is. according to men close TO
the Lackawanna, that nothing will be
lone for a long period in doing away with
the two depots or depressing or elevating
the tracks.
