a sudden dismissal of the scholars
from the building. A general im

the buildings was also ordered and a
committee appointed to draft plans
and submit these to contractors for

best testimonial of its great .merit.

Y0UHG BOY DROWNED.
Member of Picnic Party Loses Life in
Hamburg Pond.
While bathiug in the pond at Ham
burg mill, eight miles north of town,
Saturday afternoon Jesse Durham, a
15-year-old boy, was drowned. Young
Durham, who was a member of a pic
nic paity from the Bessemer Avenue
Presbyterian Sunday school, of this
city, went into the pond with several
friends and was enjoying himself
s dimming when he was seen to sink
without a struggle.- x
It ia believed that but for a constitu
tional .weakness, the boy's life could
have been saved. Those . who were
nearest to him remarked, when they
had time to collect their thoughts, upon
the fact that there was no struggle. His
body became motionless quickly, and it
is the generally accepted theory that
heart failure was the immediate cause
of death.
The boy drowned before be could be
brought out of the water, although he
roic tflorts were made to save him.
Mr. H. W. Wharton, superintendent
of the Sunday tchool, plunged into the
water aDd came near losing his own
life in a desperate attempt to save the
young fellow.
The body was recovered after a short
search aud carried to the home of Mr.
Pat. Cunningham, with whom the boy
had resided for several years. The
funeral was held from Bessemer Ave
nue Presbyterian church Sunday af
ternoon at 3 o'clock, the service being
conducted by Rev. J. W. Goodman,
the pastor.
Mr. Goodman spoke feelingly of the
kind friends , who had . taken the boy
some six years ago to their heart and
home. Among other things he said
that Jesse Durham responded fully to
their kind treatment and developed
into a fine boy, repaying his adopted
parents a full measure of love and con
fidence for all they had done for him.
Young Durham was an orphan, his
only, relatives in this tectiou being a
small brother, a grandmother and two
uncles, all of whom reside at Prox
imity. ' ,
Mr. H. W. Wharton, superintend
ent of the Bessemer Avenue Sunday
school, who worked heroically to save
the boy, both before and after the body
was carried out of the water, gives the
following account of the deplorable
occurrence that turned a day of bright
ness into gloom:
"Just before the sad occurence, I was
wading near the shore looting for an
oar. lock which had been lost, ana
from time to time I looked over the
pond to see what the boys were doing,
and had just warned them not to go
out into deep water which I found was
in the middle of the pond. Six or
eight boys were in a boat some dist
ance away, and three or four boys were
swimming and diving near byNand
having a good time generally. Once
when I glanced up I saw Jesse Dur
ham apparently floating on the water,
the top of his head showing, aud I am
now certain that he was then dead
from heart failure. In a few seconds
one of the boys in the boat called to
me excitedly to come at once, which I
did as soon as I could, swimming
about one hundred yards. Just before
reaching the boy, he sank without the
slightest struggle. Reaching the spot,
I almost immediately felt the body,
but had considerable difficulty in get
ting a grip, as his body was very slick
on account of being wet. Finally I got
an insecure hold on his ankle and at
once swam to the side of the boat,
and when I reached up to catch hold,
the body slipped away from me. Be
ing so exhausted I was compelled to
ho!d to the boat a minute to get my
breath. In the meantime the boat had
drifted some distance away. On re
suming the search, I found tbat It
would be difficult for me to find the
body alone, so I began calling for help.
Several men came out and diiecily
Allie Highfield touched him with his
foot, and we picked him up and rushed
him to shore and went through the
usual evolutions to restore him. But I
am now satisfied that his death result
ed from other causes than drowning.
Six or eight persons saw him floating
in the water several seconds before he
disappeared, and all of them unite in
saying that he made not the slightest
struggle.' Added to this is the fact that,
while heroic eflorts were made to get
the water from his stomach, not a drop
came. -
"Jesse was-a loyal member of the
Covenanters and a manly Christian
character. Not the slightest whisper
of. wrong doing has 'ever reached my
ears concerning this lovable lad. His
memory will always be held m loving
remembrance by the Covenanter
band." ' '
GR0VER CLEVELAND DEAD.
