Austrian government, and which have pro-

other nationalities, who have been deprived
of their constitutions by the centraIZing pol

A Boy CARRIED OVER NIAGARA FALLS.
We learn from the railroad men that an
adopted son of Mr.. Gibbs. foreman in the Nj
agara Falls Paper Mill, was taken over the
cataract on Saturday afternoon last. The VIC
tim was promising little boy about eleven
years of age. and a general favorite with all
who knew him. The Niagara Falls Paper
Mill is situated on Bath Island, between Goat
Island and the main land, and the machinery
is driven by water power.
On Saturday afternoon a number of mon
were engaged clearing away the ice which OBJ
structed the flow Of water in the race, and Mr..
Gibbs boy was playing about the vicinity
In one place the race is spanned by a narrow
foot bridge OF plank, destitute of a railing or
other protection on either side, and some
how, in crossing this, he lost his balance and
fell into the water. The current was very
strong, and in an instant the child was car
ried out through the bullshead at the tail end
of the race, and precipitated some ten feet into
the ioaming flood a short distance above the
bridge connecting the two islands
The rapids were full of floating blocks OF
ice and, mingled with these, the poor little
fellow was carried down the stream He'll
