Drowned and None to Help.
Thomas Delee, the eight-year-oid son of Patrick Delee, who owns a meat market at No. 152 Fourth street, was playing on the dock at the foot of Ferry street yesterday afternnon about 3 o'clock, when he fell headlong into the river and was drowned. No one was near enough to render assistance, and the boy's only companion, a lad of about the same age, was too frightened to give an alarm until too late. The river was dragged all the afternoon and last night for the body, but without success.
At question is either his age, or whether his mother is Mary Yallei or a previous bit unknown, wife of Patrick E. DeLee. The latter is more likely.
