 l In an abandoned quarry hole of the
 New England Granite Works, Neil
 Robinson was drowned late Wednes- 1 day afternoon and the body was re- | covered three hours afterward. Ht | was the fourteen years old son of Mir and Mrs. William R. Robinson, ant | Wlli1 ILTSO 0S INOC' co, Edward Donohue and Charle: Boyington, were fishing seated on z l boulder at the edge of the quarry
 hole. The Robinson boy slid off int the water and being burdened witt
 rubber boots and an overcoat, he wal
 unable to swim. The other boy
 could render him no assistance ant
 ran off to summon aid, but in tn
 meantime the boy drowned. Imme
 diately search was commenced fol
 the body, by the aid of traWl lines
 and finally the body was drawn to tn surface by William Iedward am landed. In his effort to reach tn surface the boy had extricated him self from the water filled boots, an
 the body was recovered on a ledg about eight feet below the surface o the water.
 On the side of the quarry hol ; where the Robinson boy fell in is shelving mass of granite and at tn 1, end there is an abrupt depth of fort feet. Had the body gone to the bot , tom of the quarry hole, which woul
 have been the case had he fallen i on the opposite side, search woul
 have been useless, as the body coul
 not have been located, and woul 1 have remained below the surface, un 2 til the customary time had elapse Z for the natural rising of a drowne : person.
 r Soon after the body was recovere Dr. M. Fl. Scanlon. medical examiner
 was summoned, and gave permit fo } it's removal. He will make further in
 vestigation before returning the deat : certificate.
