Two Adventurers Narrowly Escape

Two Adventurers Narrowly Escape Death.
Augusta Me. April 16) Cor. Boston Journal
This afternoon Charles Marston and Frank Davis,
Of this city, performed the foolish and reckless eX-
plot OF sailing over the dam in a batteau. MarstOn
IL the young man who had twice within the past
week performed the same feat. Davis undertook
the performance "a wager of 500. large
crowd assembled both sides OF the river
TO view the performance and as it was well
known that the VoyagerS were TO sail
the middle of the dam, thus making the feat as thrill
ing as it could be made, the yelest excitement pre-
suit AT haf-past three O'Clock the wherry contain
ing the advenurers put off from the east side of the
river, padded by Marston. Both were seated amid
ships On reaching the middle OF the river the boat
was given up to the current and down she shot, her
speed increasing as she approached the edge OF the
dam, when, amid the breathless silence OF the spec
tators, she plunged over the abyss into the roaming,
turbulent waters beneath Where the boat went
over not at the perpendicular part OF the dam,
t%sDty S%t the ee sopRs TING eo Which was
posed OF series OF whirlpools. Into this sceth-
ing vortex OF eddes the boat disappeared, and
when next seen it was shattered and bottom up, the
men clingng to the wreck for dear life. The scene
was intensely exciting, the boat being at the COM
plete mercy OF the undertow, with scarcely pros
out from the shore to attempt rescue but 1t proved
abortive, it being impossible to extend relief There
10 see the men meet with a watery grave. In
the midst OF the danger Davis proposed quitting
the shattered Doat anu 1T, trying 10 SWIM ashore
one moment losing his self-possession, told his COM
panion to hang on and he wo,lld get them both out
OF the trouble. And he did. BY skilful and deX-
terous OF the paddle which he had retained dur
ing the eXgency, he worked the boat out of the
foaming and dangerous gorge, and in few minutes
they came ashore amid the widest shouts of the
crowd. Had it not been for Marston's familiarity
with river driving 1t is highly probable neither would
have reached the shore alive. Marston has offered
to go over the dam at the same place again on log
II purse OF twenty-five dollars be made up for
him. But it is hoped that the city authorities will
put stop to repetition OF such rash and reckless
pXDIOta.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Special Despatch to The Eoening Telegraph.
Senator Cameron an, on r., H!SrespSynsblc Appoint-
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Cameron, in
the debate in the Senate on the manner of send
ing in nominations, said that the Senators of the
State from which the appointees were to come
were rarely consulted. This had been done to
great extent under this administration, and the
evil effects of it had been seen. Only the other
day man had been nominated for an important
foreign mission (rcferring to Alexander L. Rus
sell, nominated for Ecuador), without anyconsul-
taton with the Senators from Pennsylvania.
The man was recommended by the Governor
of the State members of the Legislature, and
others in Pennsylvania; but he was a constitu-
tional drunkard and it was with difficulty that
he Cameron and his colleague (Scott) had him
withdrawn. Another man had been nominated
for consulate from Pennsylvania without any
recommendations of or consultation with the
Senators from that State and he turns out to be
a constitutional thief. Senator Cameron here
referred TO the case of Ferdinand Coke, nomi-
mated as Consul to Leghorn. This" said the
Senator lis what comes of this irresponsible
appointment to office"
Senators Trumbull Carpenter, Abbott, and
Sawyer favored the views of Cameron.

Condition of Affairs In Guba-Advices from
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Despatches received
to-day from Admiral Hoff state that there is no
material change in the condition of affairs in
Cuba. The Spaniards and insurgents are fight
ing in the interior both parties claiming sue
cesses. Large numbers of troops and arms are
being received from the home Government. So
far as can be ascertained there has been no land
ing of troops or arms in Cuba to aid the insur-
gents, from the United States. Admiral Hoff is
in constant communication with our acting
Consul at Havana, and would be likely to know
if any arms or troops had been landed from the
United States.
The Mary Powell.
The fact that the ship Mary Powell was con-
demned by the Spanish court in Cuba will in
the opinion of the Spanish Minister, have neces-
STATED reference of the question to the home
Government before the ship can be delivered.
This will delay action in the matter for some
time.
The Unfortunates, Pile and Carlisle.
Senator Sumner this morning notified the
Secretary of State that the Committee
Foreign Relations had decided to object to
Messrs. Pile and Carlisle, nominated respectively

decided in the Cabinet yesterday not to send in
any more nominations, and that any vacancies
that might occur could be filed after Congress
adjourned. Secretary Fish informed Sumner,
however, that he would notify the President
relative to Pile and Carlisle.

departments, their names, when they were APP
pointed, and how recommended, etc. In the
course of the debate General Cameron said that
none of the appointments from Pennsylvania
under the administration thus far had been made
at his solicitation. He had no doubt nine-tenths
of them were his friends, because it would be
impossible TO appoint Republicans from Penn
sylvania without getting q majority of them his
friends. He deprecated the practice of appoint
ing persons to Office without consulting Senators
and members.

THE GREAT REASON

Why physicians do not cure Consumption is,
they try to do too much; they give medicines to
stop the cough to stop chlls, to stop night
sweats, hectic fever, and by SO doing they de-
range the whole digestive powers, locking up the
secretions, and eventually the patient sinks and
dies.
DIR. SCHENCK, in his treatment does not try
to stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever
Remove the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump-
ton, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Can
ker, liberated Throat unless the liver and
stomach are made healthy.
If a person has consumption, of course the
lungs are in some way diseased-either tuberces
abscesses, bronchial irritation pleural adhesion
or the lungs are a mass of Inflammation and fast
decaying. In such cases what must be done? 1t
is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it Is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have
lost their power to make blood out of food. Now
the only chance is to take DIR. SCHENOK'S
three medicines, which will bring up tone to
the stomach the patient will want food, ID will
digest easily and make good blood; then the
patient begins to gain in flesh, and as soon as the
body begins to grow, the lungs commence TO heal
up, and the patient gets heshy and well. This
is the only way to cure Consumption.
WHEN THERE is NO LUNG DISEASE.
And only Liver Complaint and
dyspepsia, Schenclk's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills
are sufficient, without
the PuImOnic Syrup.
Take the Mandrake Pills freely in
all bilious cases, as they are
PERFECTLY HARMLESS.

UNRIVALLED SUCCESS

In 1.-THE treatment of Pulmonary Consumption.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs, nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe, slight cough will throw it off, and the
patient has rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver SO that the Pulmonic Syrup and food
will make good blood.
