MR. WILL H.KERR DEAD
DROWNED SUNDAY, OFF ANNA
POLIS, WHILE SAVING
HIS HOY.
FELL FROM HIS FATHER'S YACHT.

—The Father’s body Recovered too
Late for Resuscitation—The Engi
neer’s Story—The City Shocked by
the First Telegraphic Advices to Mr.
W. C. Stronach—Burial To-inorrow r .
Yesterday morning, Mr. W. C. Stron
ach, of this city, received a tele
gram from Mrs. W. H. Kerr, dated
Baltimore, s’ating that her husbaud, the
late Mr. Will H. Kerr, had been drowned
Sunday afternoon, that his body would
arrive here Wednesday morning, that
Dr. Walter Moore would preach the fune
ral, and that Dr. Herbert B. Battle and
Mr. J. A. Holmes, of Chapel Hill, were
desired as pall-bearers.
Accordingly, Mr. Stronach awaiting
further particulais, went about arrang
mg details for the funeral, which
will take place from the Presby
terian church to-morrow morning at an
hour, later to be determined upon, and
to be definitely stated in the News and
Observer of to-morrow morning.
The burial will take place in Oak wood
cemetery in the family section, and in
addition to the two gentlemen named
above, both of whom are out of the city
but who have been notified, there have
been five others chosen as pall bearers,
as follows:
Messrs. W. S. Primrose, A. B Stron
ach, R. H. Battle, Josephus Daniels and
Prof. D. Harvey Hill.
The news of the death of “Will Kerr,”
as he was warmly remembered here,
spread over the city rapid'y, and the
people were eager to find out something
more concerning the distressing happen
ing- . , ,
It was Sunday afternoon, m the har
bor of Annapolis, Md , on the Watauga,
the steam-yacht of Mr. Kerr.
Philips, the little 6 year old son of Mr.
Kerr, fell overboard, and in the attempt
to save him, Mr. Kerr was drowned.
The little boy was saved. The whole
scene was witnessed not only by the
company on board the yacht, but also
by Mr. Daniel W. Burtis and Capt. W.
H. Burtis, the latter two gentlemen
having witnessed the whole scene from
the shore. They pulled out, at all haste,
in a small boat. Meanwhile was going
on the struggle of father to save son. A
choppy sea was on, and the boy was
twenty feet away when the father made
the leap after him. Meanwhile, the
little fellow, who did not know how to
swim, kept himself up by paddling with
his hands somehow, until the father
reached him. Mr. Kerr was a good
swimmer, and taking the child on his
back, attempted to carry him safely to
the yacht which in the meanwhile had
stopped. He was borne down, however,
and must have sunk just as the child
was saved for he could not be found
when the toy was lifted out of the water.
Here is the story told by Benton, the
engineer.
“We were getting under way about
half-past 12 hen*l noticed Philip Kerr
walking along the narrow gunwale of
the yacht forward of the engine on the
port side. I warned the boy of his
danger, as I had done before, but he re
fused to come inside. I was about to in
sist when I discovered that he had lost
his balance and had failed overboard. In
his descent I grabbed for him, but could
not reach him. I immediately threw
overboard a life preserver, which he did
not get, and quickly notified his father.
Captain Kerr, who was forward, rushed
aft and plunged into the water. Mrs.
Kerr was at the wheel at the time. I
immediately stopped the engine, and we
were preparing to lower the yawl from the
davits, when several small boats from
ashore were seen to approach the father
and son, who were then struggling in
the water. Captain Kerr had reached
the boy after swimming fifteen or twenty
yards in a heavy, choppy sea, which en
tirely submerged them at times. He was
a good swimmer and had attempted to
swim with his boy on his back. It is
thought the father sacrificed his chances
to save his boy, who was above water
and probably upon his father’s shoulders
when the small boat from the shore
reached them. Before this, remarkable
to say. the boy kept afloat by paddling,
as he could not swim a stroke.”
After the boy had been rescued, search
was made for the father’s body first with
grappling lines without result, but later
George Parkinson and George Collins
set out to work with oyster rakes, and
in about half an hour the body was re
covered, and carried ashore. Restora
tives and resuscitating processes were
resorted to promptly and for some time,by
Drs. George Wells and W. C. Claude,
but without avail, while Mrs. Kerr en
couraged them with heroic coolness until
further effort was useless. The body
was then taken to an undertaking estab
lishment, aud prepared for burial.
Besides Mr. Kerr aud his wife there
were on board the yacht Mrs. George F.
Atkinson, wife of Professor Atkinson,
of Cornell University, and Mr. Kerr’s
only sister, S. F. Patterson, A. N.
Scott,,W. C. Kerr, Philips Kerr, Spen
cer II Kerr, B. Atkinson, Clara Atkin
son, Carrie Harris aud J. Fletcher Ben
ton, engineer.
It was a little pleasure party that
started out fvom .Baltimore Saturday,
and aftei spending the night and part
of the day off Annapolis, they were
starting back for Baltimore. The whole
party aboard looked helplessly on, per
force, at the heart-rending spectacle.
Mr. Kerr had not long been owner of
the Watauga, having bought it last
spring under the name of Miquet from
Mr. Pierre Lorillard. The yacht had
been beautifully refitted, and Mr. Kerr
was preparing to take his family and
friends on a two week's cruise along the
Chesapeake.
Mr. Kerr was born in Cambridge,
Mass., thirty-eight years ago, but was
raised in Raleigh, N. C. He studied me
chanical engineering at the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology, and was the
inventor of a number of automatic bag'
making machines, which are largely used
in the South. He established the Kerr
Bag Manufacturing Company at Con
cord, N. C., and in 1891 came to Balti
more and formed a company which pur
chased the Thistle Mills at Illchester,
Md. He was the president of the com
pany, and Mr. Patterson, who was in the
yachting party, was its secretary and
general manager. He had recently
bought the William Sinclair place “Way
side” at Catonsville, and had just moved
into it, changing its name to “Cherokee.”
Mr. Kerr was the son of Mr.
ton Carruthers Kerr and Emma Hall
Kerr. His father who bore the title of
LL. D., was Professor at Davidson Col
lege from 1856 1865 (where his son, Mr.
W. H. Kerr was once at school), and
from 1865 1882 was State Geologist, hav
ing been from 1882 to 1885 Chief of Div
ision of the U. S., Geological Survey. He
was, also, the author of Geology of
North Carolina, in two volumns.
Mr. Will FI; Kerr married Miss Alice
Mr Getchel of Brookline, Mass., who
was a co student with him at the
Boston school of technology. They had
been married about 13 years, six children
having been the issue of the union.
The funeral party will be met by a
number of friends, and the widow, whose
bereavement meets with the deep sym
pathy of this city, will, during her sad
stay here, be a guest at the home of Mr.
W. C. Stronach.
WILL SI E FOR BACK TAXES.
A Suit Entered Against the Illinois
Central for $25,000.
Jacksonville, Miss., June 17 —The
Mississippi Railroad Commissioner has
at the instance of State Revenue Agent
Adams decided to bring suit against the
Mississippi Valley Railroad Company,
now the Illinois Central for back taxes,
amounting to about $25,000.
The officers of the road are cited to
appear here the first Monday in August
to show cause, if any, why their road
should not be assessed for taxes since
1886. When the assessments shall have
been made, the case will have a run
through the courts. ‘The case involves
the right of the revenue agent and the
Railroad Commission to assess taxes on
property that has escaped the regular
assessor.

The United States will Arbitrate.
London, June 17.—1 n the House of
Commons today Sir Edward Gray. Under

last, United States Ambassador Bayard
informed Lord Kimberly, Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, that
the United States government would
gladly lend its good cfliees to ar

GOV. ATKINSON MAY DIE.
His Lite Hanging by a Thread and Re
covery Doubtful.
Atlanta, Ga , June 17. -Gov. Wm.
Y. Atkinson’s life is hanging by a thread
to night. He rallied perceptibly this
morning, but not sufficiently to permit
the doctors to perform the operation for
appendicitis.
At 10 o’clock to night he was removed
from the Executive Mansion to Dr.
Holmes’ Sanitarium across the street.
As he was being moved from the Man
sion, he stopped thfse who we: e carrying
him and signed a respite for a man who
was to be hanged on Friday.
The Governor said he might not be
alive himself on Friday. The case had
been laid before him, and he thought
the condemned man was entitled to
another mouth of life.
The operation was performed success
fully, four physicians being in attend
ance. At midnight the Governor was
unconscious and the chances for his re
covery were considered about even.

There were seventy five extra em

“Private telegrams from Kentucky re
ceived to-day indicate strongly that free
silver was dealt a severe blow in the
Democratic county convention yester
day,” said Mr. Stealey, of the Courier-
Journal, Sunday night to a Postjreporter.
“There is now little doubt of the result
of the Democratic State convention the
26th of this month. A free silver plat
form will not be adopted and the ad
ministration will be indorsed. This is a
great victory for Secretary Carlisle, for
before he went to Kentucky, less than
a month ago, the free silver senli
ment in the State was as strong
and sweeping as a prairie fire. It only
shows how powerful is the influence of a
man of brains when directed in a proper
and conservative channel. Carlisle and
Watterson have never been turned down
in Kentucky and I do not believe they
ever will bB. The reason is simple.
They are both men of ability and always
stand together on great questions. In
addition to this each has a strong and
influential personal following, wh.ch the
combined toree of all the opposition find
it almost impossible to overcome.”

The Director of the Mint, R E Pres
ton, estimates the world’s production of
gold for the calendar year of 1894 to
have approximated 8,780,518 flue ounces,
of the value of $181,510,100, against
$158,836,000 for 1893, showing an in
crease during the year of $22,674,000.
The greatest increase in the production
of gold during the year were: Africa,
$11,400; Australia, $603,000; United
States, $3,500,000; Mexico, $3,195,000.
Mr. Preston estimates the world’s pro
duction of silver for 1894 at 165,918,338
fine ounces, of the coining value of
$214,481,000. The bullion value of the
same at the average price, 61 1-2 cents,
of silver for 1894 was $105,348,135,
showing a difference between the coin
ing ana bullion value cf $109,132,965.
The increase in the production of silver
in 1894 over 1893 was 722.000 ounces.
The greatest increase-* in the production
of silver were : Bolivia, $10,800,000;
XTcx’co $8,500,000; Peiu. $2,000,000;
Chili, $1 400,000; Greece. $1,400,000.
Both the production of silver and gold
in 1894 exceeded that of any prior year
in the world’s history Mr. Preston is
of the opinion that his estimate of gold
and silver production for 1894 is a con
servative estimate, aLd he is of theopiu
ion that were the exact facts known
they would show an increase even great
er than stated.

GONE TO GRAY GABLES.
The President, Hi* Physician and Pri
vate Secretary Leave Washington.
Washington, D. C., June 17.—Presi
dent Cleveland, accompanied by his pri
vate secretary, Henry T. Thurber, (who
has leased a cottage near the President’s
seaside residence for his family), and by
Dr. Robert M. O'Reilly, of the United
States Army, who has so frequently acted
as the confidential traveling physician of
the President, left Washington to day to
pass the rest of the summer at Gray
Gables, Buzzard’s Bay, Mass.
The White House carriage, containing
the three gentlemen, was driven from
the south side of the Executive Mansion,
which is rarely used for such purposes,
at about 6:30 a. m., and, passing rapidly
down unfrequented streets, reached the
Pennsylvania railroad station, unob
served, about 6:45 a. m. It was driven
to the baggage entrance, and President
Cleveland and his companions entered
the station by that means, passed
through tne open gateway, manned
only by waiting railroad officials, a d
at once entered a very limited special
train which had been prepared for his
accommodation. It consisted of Vice-
President Thompson’s private car, which
was occupiod by the distinguished guests,
and Senator Calvin S. Brice’s private car,
which was simply thrown in as ballast
Mr. Brice’s car was needed by the Ohio
Senator in New York, and it was conse
quently attached next to the engine, to
take off some of the smoke, and to give
extra weight to the Presidential train.
The train was scheduled as a special
and pulled out of Washington at 6:55 a.
m,— ten minutes before the regular No.
56 train, of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
of which it was regarded as the first
section. By the President’s request the
engineer was instructed not to put on
any extra speed, but to conform as
nearly as possible to the’pace of the reg
ular train, which followed fen minutes
after, carefully guarded by the block
system from collision. This was done for
two reasons—first, to avoid attracting
attention, and secondly, to prevent the
unpleasant oscillation which would re
sult from so slight a train as that con
sisting of two coaches-one empty and
the other occupied only by three people,
being driven at rapid speed. The offi
cials of the railroad and everybody else
maintained the utmost secrecy as to the
time set for the President’s departure,
and no one but a few secret service offi
cials aud early morning passengers wit
nessed the hegira of the President for the
summer of 1895.
BURNED BY™INCENDIARIES.
In las Excitement the Town i« Looted
by Thieves.
Greenville, Ohio, June 17.—Fire
started at 10:30 last night in the rear of
Mozart’s store. The flames quickly
spread to adjoining buildings and soon
the very heart of the business centre was
ablaze.
The wholesalestoreof Wester field Bros.,

the Methodist Episcopal church, Deut

large livery stable of H. E. Davis, on
the north side of Third street and the
home of Mrs. Wm. Sullivan adjoining.
The fire was the work of incendiaries,
and in the excitement thieves looted the
town. Two ineffectual attempts were
made to set fire to buildings in diff.rent
parts of the city. Two persons were in
jared. They are Charles Dalrymple, of
the Mozart’s store, and Del Daugherty,
a member (f the city fire department.
The lalter’s injuries are on the head and
are of a serious nature. The 'Piqua and

WILL MEET IN MAY
THE NEXT REPUBLICAN NA
TIONAL CONVENTION IN
CHICAGO.
MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE.
It Is Purposed to Inaugurate a Cam
paign ol Education and the National
Committee XVill Probably Meet in
Washington in November Instead of
December as lleretofore--t|uetion ol
Representation to be l>ecided--South
ern Republicans Oppose the Change.
Washington, D. C., June 17.—The
Republican National Committee will
probably meet in November this year,
instead of December, which has been
the month selected for many years past.
While this conclusion has not been defi
nitely reached, it is one which meets the
views of the influential members of the
committee, and little doubt is entertain
ed that it will be adopted.
The Republican leaders believe that
the next National Convention should be
held in May, and, inasmuch as the Na
tional Committee must give six months
notice for the holding of the convention
it will be necessary, therefore, that the
committee shall hold its meeting in No
vember.
It is purposed by the Republican lead
ers to inaugurate a campaign of educa
tion. In order to make such a campaign
effective, it is necessary that sufficient
time should elapse between the holding
of the convention and election day in
which to acquaint the voters with all the
facts connected with the Presidential
contest.
It i 3 argued that little if any work is
done during the heated term, from, say,
the middle of July until the first of Sep
tember, and that, therefore, if the con
vention dots not make its choice before
the latter part of June, the effective
work of the campaign will be limited to
a period not exceeding three months. If
the convention should meet early in May,
there will be two months in which much
useful work can be performed before the
dog days arrive, and as many more after
that period.
It has beeD suggested by some of the
members of the National Committee who
are opposed to holding the convention in
May that the campaign shall begin be-i
fore the delegates meet. To this the ob
jection is made that it would be farcical
to inaugurate a vigorous political
crusade before the party has selected
its standard bearer. So far as can be
learned, the members of the National
committee generally favor the May con
vention, which will necessitate the meet
ing of the committee in November.
Washington, as usual, will be the place
of meetingof the committee and Chicago
is the favored place for the meeting of
the convention.
The forthcoming meeting of the Re
publican National committee will con
sider one question of far reaching impor
tance to the party.
At the committee’s last meeting which
was held in this city in December, 1891,
a resolution was introduced by Henry B.
Payne, of Wisconsin, to base the appor
tionment of delegates to the National
Convention on the number of votes cast
by the Republican party at the preceding
presidential election. The better part of
one day’s session was devoted to a
consideration of the resolution which
proved strong opposition from the
Southern members, particularly, and
the committee adjourned leaving it
unsettled. It will be the most impor
tant business which will come before the
committee when they re assemble. The
sentiment in favor of this proposition
seems to have grown rather than dimin
ished during the interim. It was con
tended by Mr. Payne as well as by others
who supported the resolution, that the
committee as at present constituted, give
to delegates from strong Democratic
States an influence and power which is
unfair to the Representatives from
other States whose electoral' Tbte
is always cast for the Republic od nomi
nee. His contention was that tne com
mittee should be composed»of delegates
who represent the actual strength.of the
Republican party in the savemi States,
and this was the only fair basis .of ap
portion men t.,,The Southern imembers
argued that the Republican, ypte in their
States was suppressed, and for that rea
son they.coAilu ‘ndt/oh of the
returns, be givenu, representation in the
convi>qJion that would correctly express
bbeic real stjreegtfr ••>'>«•??*.' I
- rule would be lo
decrease to some extent, at the next con
vention, the representation from States
like New York and l Illinois, inasmuch as
both commonwealths in 1892 cast their
electoral vote for Mr. Cleveland. Such,
strong Republican States as Ohio, Massa-;
