FOUND DROWNED

This morning the dead body of the six-year-old son of Ludwig SEEGAR, who
disappeared from his home, No. 19 Mt. Hope avenue, on Monday was announced in
the Union of that date, was found. As had been feared by the parents, the
little fellow died in the canal. Some men who were removing the sodgrass
from the canal near the weighlock found the remains of the unfortunate child
about 10 o'clock. Coronor DANINGBURY was notified and an inquest was held,
the jury finding a verdict of death by drowning, but being unable to explain how
the body came in the canal. The parents of the child have been in the
country but a few months and the loss of their child weighs heavily upon them.
