An unknown foreigner was drowned
In the Ohio river about Ills o'clock
last night when "A boat in which he
was riding capsized The accident
occurred near the Ohio side Of the
river near the McMechen dam. and
was witnessed BY Lockmaster Patrick
and Engineer Fred Carothers. Of the

appears that the men. who are en-
ployed in mine No .. OF the Rail &

cross the river 20 McMecben One
of the men had seated himself i'm a
skin and another jumped in from the
bank. and as he did so. turned the

When the skin riehted itself. one
of the men caught II and held on I'M

away by the current 10 his death
Up until a late hour his body had
not been recovered. although efforts
we're made by persons Of that vicinity.
In speaking Of the accident Mr.
Carothers stated to an Intelligencer
reporter when called last night. Mr..
Patrick and We're standing near the
dam watching humber OF coal
miners on the opposite side of the
river They came down 10 the river
and after standing near the edge Of
the water for a few minutes one Of
them stepped into "a skin and he was
follow ed by another. who Jumped in
Just as he jumped We saw the skin
upset as the lights from their miners
lamps showed the outlines indistinct-
ly. One light disappeared and then an
other. and We az once supposed that
the men needed help and started
across the river IN a skin When We
got 10 the other side and reached the
spot where the men had gone down.
We found that one man had held onto
the boat while the other had disap-
peared. and no trace OF him could be
found
We went 10 the shore and inquired
Of the men there about the accident
and who the men we're. but IL was no
use as they We're too much excited 10

could learn was that the men were
foreigners and thar one had been
