Daniel DOUGHERTY, a locomotive driver on the New Brunswick Railway, was drowned at Vanceboro, Maine, yesterday. He and six other men were out sailing when suddenly a squall sprang up, capsizing the boat and landing its occupants in the water. Two of the men struck out for shore, which was about a mile distant, and succeeded in reaching it. The others clung to the boat which remained bottom up and in this way they drifted for about an hour, when Dougherty said he could try and swim ashore. Sad to relate he failed in the attempt, disappearing beneath the surface of the water when about one hundred feet from shore. The boat finally drifted ashore. The body of Mr. D. was recovered this morn. Deceased was a brother of William DOUGHERTY of Carleton (St. John) He leaves a wife and three children.
