DIDN'T KNOW FATE OF FRIENDS Body Of W. IT. Gray, Of Mt. Hauler, Found, But No Trace Of Wm. Rule Tragredy Near Washington.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Sept. 19. Haggard and weak from spending a night In the swamps of the "eastern branch of the Potomac river, William E. Algier staggered half-dazed Into this city this morning.

He reported that William H. Gray, of Mount Ranier, and William Rule, of( 824 street southeast, were dead and he himself had a narrow escape from drowning last night, when a launch in which they were sailing caught fire, exploded and sank In a lonely part of the marsh-surrounded river. The body of Gray was found late this afternoon. His watch had stopped at 9.30. No trace has been found of Rule, i In-Algier's 17-foot boat Zulu the three young men went out yesterday afternoon, leaving the Bennlng bridge about 5 o'clock.

They had reached a point about opposite the, District Jail and in sight' of the camp of John R. Early, the leper, when a back Are of the engine ignited the carburetter and the gasoline in the bottom of the boat began to burn. In a few moments the little craft was a mass of flames, and before it could be run ashore in a safe place it became untenable. Then the three men plunged into the river. With Gray at the bow of the boat and Rule at the stern, Algier swam around the flaming motor craft.

It was evident that the Zulu would go under in a short time. Rule shouted to Algier to save Gray, saying that he could swim better than the other man and stood more of a chance of getting ashore. Acting on his suggestion, Algier grasped Gray's coat and after a struggle pulled him into comparatively shallow water. There he left him, with apparently a good foothold, while he returned to get Rule. When he reached the boat he could find nothing of his companion.

Exhausted, he made his way ashore, and there he discovered that Gray had disappeared. In the water, waist-deep, afraid to move for fear of stepping Into deep water, vainly endeavoring to pierce the darkness In a vain hope of finding some evidence of his friends' fate, Algier stood all night. Then when dawn made it possible for him to pick his way through the clumps of marsh-grass he made his way to the city. Algier told Joseph Miller, keeper of a boathouse, that his motor had been out of order for weeks and that he had been forced to use paddles to get back to the boathouse a few nights before. "I tried to get Gray out and had him In shallow water not more than three feet deep," said Algier today.

"Then I tried to get Rule, who had been floundering around and crying for help, but I could not reach him before he went down. When, nearly exhausted, I reached shallow water again, Gray was not there. How he could have been drewned I do not know, unless he lost his head and stepped off suddenly into a deep place, or was too weak to stand up."

Merrymakers At Angelo Cottage Found Acid In Water Circumstances Pointed To Morgan. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Ellicott City, Sept. 19. Marion J.

Morgan was found guilty today of an attempt to poison persons residing and present at Angelo Cottage on Friday night. May 29. Attorneys Prettyman and Peter, of Rock-Tllle, in the closing hours of the trial made touching appeals for their client, whom they had known from boyhood and who had been formerly a resident of Itockville. Just about one hour after State's Attorney Martin F. Burke concluded his address for the State the jury returned to the courtroom, about 1.20 P.

with a verdict of guilty as indicted. The penalty of the crime is from 2 to 10 years in the penitentiary. About five or six years ago Morgan first came to Ellicott City as baggage master at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad depot. Shortly after he became a boarder in Mrs. Sanner's home, which is known as Angelo Cottage, and remained there up until a few days of his arrest.

Morgan when regularly employed always paid his board bill promptly and was well liked by members of the family. After leaving the Baltimore and Ohio, having no regular work, he did odd Jobs about town and at times worked as a tinner's assistant. When out of work he. did various jobs around the house and he was not required to pay board. Some time In May Mr.

Linwood Cross came to the house as a boarder and was given Morgan's room, the latter being transferred to another. He resented the change and, according to evidence, on Tuesday night. May 26, went so far aa to threaten to kill several inmates and burn down the house. He was ordered to leave, but remained until Wednesday evening, taking his meals as usual. That same night he trie.d to force open a door leading from his room to the main part of the house, the purpose of which, as testified, was to procure a light.

Not knowing bis motive, Mrs. Sanner, fearing violence, had Ofiicer Wosch called, who arrested Morgan and took him before Justice Lilly, who under suspension of sentence ordered him to leave the town and not return. Morgan was seen to leave town Thursday night of that week and was not seen here again until about 8.30 P. M. the next night.

About 7.S0 o'clock Mrs. Sanner filled with drinking water a galvanized bucket, which was placed on a bench on the back pofch. She drank water from the bucket at that time. Between 9 and 10 o'clock that night she took water from the bucket and carried it in a glass pitcher to the room where all were assembled. Glasses of the water were given to Mr.

Matthew Powers, Mr. and Mrs. August Schotta and Miss Eleanor Banner. On drinking all noticed that the water burned their mouths and throats, and Miss Sanner, who drank last, was the first to re- mark about it. Emetics were taken, Miss Sanner and Mr.

Powers feeling the effects several days after. The water in the. bucket when noticed soon after was bubbling and frothing, and a sample examined several days later by Dr. Pennlman, an analytical chemist of Baltimore, showed that it contained zinc chloride and free hydrochloric acid, deadly poisons.

WARNER SIX WEEKS OF DROUTH Water Famine Is Threatened In 31 any Towns. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Frederick, Sept. 19. The drouth that has prevailed in this county for the last six weeks has reached an alarming point.

Streams all over the county are lower than for years, and farmers have been delayed in seeding owing to dry soil. The Monocacy river is lower than for 50 years. At the Red bridge, three miles east of Frederick, where the stream is usually deep, all "of the water can now through a narrow channel between the first and second piers.

Bad For The Fish. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Cumberland, Sept. 19. Parts of Frostburg during portions of the day are without water, and the reservoir is low because mountain streams and springs have practically dried up.

It has been many years since there has been such a famine of water at Frostburg, which has always been fed by prolific mountain streams. Connellsville division trainmen running into this city report that Indian creek is drying up. This mountain stream has for years been known as a good fishing stream, but the water Is now so low that some fishermen have discarded lines and hooks and all they have to do is reach under the stones and pull out the fish. Many of them are 18 inches long and fine specimens. Bass, white suckers and trout abound in the stream, and they are being taken out in great numbers.

In some of the deep pools persons have resorted to the use of dynamite and killed fish in great quantity On account of the low level of the Potomac and Savage rivers and their polluted condition from the coal mines and other sources, the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company has posted notices in the plant advising all employes to have their families boil for not less than 30 minutes all water used for domestic purposes. The Potomac at Piedmont has never been so low in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Wills creek, at Cumberland, is a narrow, brackish stream that emits a bad odor. No one has ever known it to be so low. The Berwind-White Coal Company at Windber hauls water in 40 tank cars daily for the operation of mines Nos.

A temporary pipe line four miles long brings water from the new reservoir on Shade Creek, and after going to mine No.

31 and other mines connects with the Windber town system. Three pumps are used to force the water over the mountain after a level run of 4,000 feet from the reservoir. All the Berwind-White mines are running full as a result of these extraordi nary precautions. So serious has the water situation in Cumberland become that the Water Commissioners today requested the public to use the city water sparingly as possible. The river is so low that the waterworks intake will soon have to be dug out to get sufficient water to protect the city in event of fire.
