distillery established on the estate of q
Mr.. Campbell. of Buscot Park, near Far,

600 gallons of beet-root spirit the past

adds, the certain but sure progress OF

An Excursion Party Upset in Mag ara
Rtver-Narrow Escape OF Four People
from Drown1ng-A Gallant Rescue


The river near Black Rock harbor was
the scene of wLat came very near being a
terrible accident Saturday evening
About It O'Clock, fishing party, con
sisting of Rev. August Grotrain, of Dear
born street, his daughter, Miss Emma
Grotraip, Rev. DR.. Otto Burger, and Prof
Edward Moeller, were at anchor in O small
boat off the lower end of 5quaw Island. -
The steam yacat Jennie Sutton having in
tow barge loaded with hay, came along
and steamed into the harbor. The tow, as
it swung around. was caught by the cur
rent. and, before collision could be pre-
vented, struck the boat heavily, capsizing
it and precipitating the entire party into
the water. The current is very swift at
that point, and the situation was danger
Gus IN the extreme. Mr. Grotrian and
Prof. Moeller managed to cling to the
barge. but DR.. Burger and Miss Grotrian
were left to fearful struggle with the
water. The former is strong swimmer,
hut his efforts were directed to saving the
young lady rather than himself, and he
became SO much exhausted that he was
forced to give up the struggle, and had
sunk twice, when he was rescued by
Messrs. Asa Waters and J. 0. Henderson,
who were rowing in the vicinity.
Miss Grotrain was in desperate plight,
and it seemed that she would surely per-
ish; but Mr. Robert Arnold, who fortu.
nately happened to be rowing over to his
home in Fort Erie, happened to come
along at the critical moment. and by his
gallant exertions the drowning lady was
rescued after she had sunk the third
time. In either her case or that of DR.
Burger. very zfew seconds more would
have proved fatal. and Miss Grotrain Was
resuscltated with great difficulty as i was
The party feel extremely grateful for the
opportune assistance which saved their
lives, and it is certainly remarkable that
sucr an accident could have occurred, aud
not been attended with fatal results

D1mculty I'm the Ep,.copal Church

The New York Commercial Advertiser,
of Monday evening, thus speaks Of the dis
turbance in the Episcopal Chuich in that
city
Members of Episcopal Churches will be
surprised to learn that q new prayer and
service book has suddenly appeared with
out being announced in any foIm. Yes
terday morning the Rev. Geo. E. Thrall,
of the Emanuel Church. stated to his con-
gregetion that for three years revised
prayer book had been in the COURSE of pre-
paration, one which would kclude from it
the passages which had given rise to SO
much controversy, and .-one that would be
acceptable in all denominations who de-
sire liturgy. The vestry of Emanuel
Church have had long inquiry and con-
suitation as to using the book, and at last
determined to adopt it.
Rev. Mr.. ThraIl rays it is bis principle,
while connected with any Organization, to
render obedience to its laws. He has
always observed 9the requirements Of I'll e
Epi=oOpal Church. He conceded with the
opinion of the ves;ry, and says the ns-w
ritual appeared to him in every wa> strip
tural and right. He, however, thought it
his daty b@fore adopting il to resign from
the Old CUmmuniOD. He has therefore
sent letter to the Bishop decl ,ring his
purpose, and enclosing a letter received
from the vestry, and stating that his pres
ent course would necas-itate his reslgniug
bis position as Presby Of the Protese
ant episcopal Church. The new books
were all received by the congregation,
who heartily responded, and seemed pleas
ed az the change.
