GOOD SWIMMER DROWNED.
Harry 1. Downing, Aged 10, Lost His
Life at Plymouth, N. H.

Plymouth, N. H., Sept. l0.--Harry I
Downing, the l3-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred S. Downing, was drowned
yesterday afternoon while in swimming
with party of boys in the waters Of
Bakers river, about half mile above
the town. Young Downing was re.
markably good swimmer for one of his
years, and was not missed from among
the other youngsters.
A youth from bridge nearby, and
who had been noticing the swimmers,
called their attention to the fact that
someone had been under water for some
time. A quick investigation found the
Downing lad near the bottom of the
river pressed tightly to log. 1t was
impossible for the boys to reach their
comrade even with the assistance OF
poles, and an alarm was given to some
larger boys in swimming nearby.
The body was secured by Raymond
Haley after the unfortunate lad had
been under water for some fifteen or
twenty minutes. The body was rushed
to the Emily Baleh Cottage hospital,
but all attempts at reviying We're flu
tile.
The boy was bright. CHEEKY little
fellow, popular among his playmates,
and was favorite among all his ac-
quaintances. He was an attendant at
the grammar school and would have en-
tered it again upon its opening to-day.

Is Not Known.

Baxter block at 3 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon gutted the tailor shop Of NJ.
Goldberg and damaged the apartments
over the store, causing loss of near
" $4,000 partly covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire was probably due
to gasoline used in cleaning coat in
the tailor shop Mrs. Goldberg, who
was in charge of the store while her
husband was at Fort Ethan Allen. had
just finished cleaning coat and had
perhaps hung it too close to the fire,
or match lying on the floor might have
been ignited

Goldberg, who was upstairs, and she
found it impossible to enter the store
as the flames had gained such head
way. A few minutes later, the front
were blown out and the store
looked like furnace The flames were
higher than the building be-
fore the fire department arrived. The
firemen did excellent work in prevent
ing the spread of the fire to the store or
J. L. sDevino next door In 20 minutes
they had the fire under control.
The flames had worked through the
partitions to the rooms above the store
occupied by Mr. Goldberg There the
greater damage was done by smoke and
water. The partitions in all the rooms
we're torn out in places so water could
reach the flames. Mr.. Devino's Jew.

The first days registration in the
