A sensation al drowing affair -occurred in the east ern branch of the potomac river yester day afternoon.. Irving Lyles and Miss Chase Cantor were out rowing and when the boat was off Second street people on shore saw them standing up in the boat and apparently quarrelling.

From later developments it would appear that Lyles and Miss Can tor when they stood up in the bond hud hold of each other. Suddenly Miss Canton released her grasp on Lyles, and fell or jumped into the river. Lj'les followed her immediately aa if to rescue her. They strupgled together for a moment and Miss Cantor disappeared. Lyles caught hold of the boat which was a large flat bottomed skiff, but despite the shouts to hold on from tho "occu pant of a boat rapidly nearing them, he let go and sank. It is believed that either Miss Cantor dragged Lyles down with her or that when he realized that she was drowning he purposely rel i.ved his hold upon the bait and sank with her. eLylcs was 20 years of age and Miss Cantor about IS.

The old employes at the mines objected to the employment of these men and bad feeling arose. Yesterday, three of the old employes, witn one Hendricks as their leader, met three of the new m.-n at the company's btdre by- chance.
