effect OF aDoliShing stoves in passenger cars
and heating them by steam. Accidents on
the rail are sufficiently frequent and de-
siructivc of life, and in many instances be-
You'd the avoidance Of the greatest care; but
certainly there is no necessity to kccpa rod
hot stove in one or both ends of Il car that

keeping the car comfortable. IL is the duty

care suggest TO protect the safety and lives OF
passengers, and il is n duty that the public

s-AM PATCH's LAST JUMr-A PAINFUL Scene
or Forty YEARS AGO INSTRUMENTATION
the Commercial ddeoriiser. l-Wmc IN Ro.
chester | met Mr. lIebberd, an old resident
OF Genesee county, who saw Sam Patch
make his famous jump of Gencsee Falls
thirty or forty years ago. he says that Jump
dny was great dry in Rochester, The peo-
pie gathered for miles around to see this in
tci1nittent American Jumper as he perform
cd his last feat
Sam Patch had previously jumped over
Niagara. Then SAYING "some things can be
done as well as Others" be sIaShed around,
like Sergeant Bates, through the western part
of the State to back up his proverb. Before
his last jump he bought big black bear of a
circus man, and led him over the turnpike to
Rochester.
The morning of the day came. Sam had
arrived in town with the black bear, and the
crowd rushed into Rochester from miles
around. Twelve O'Clock was the hour to
iump-to jump hundred feet downtown
the terrible fall into the boiling caldron
below. A staging had been built out over
the water, and Sam appeared on the staging
dressed in sailors fancy jacket. His friends
now took up Il collection on shore, while
SAN swung his hat and said after jumping
himself he would return and throw the beal
over. Then amid death-like stiffness he
ran q few steps and gave one leap into the
air aud fell, cutting the mist like lcaC
sinker, two hundred feet into the seething
whirlpool. AS he left the staging his body a.
sumed an oblique position, his head fore
most but above bis feet. AS he struck the
water there was dreadful silence, while the
populace awaited with choking breath hi,
reappoaiance. One minute, two minutes
lhree minutes, and no signs of the daring
jumper. Then the people set up loud
WFIl-a long mnrmur of sorrow.
This was the end of Sam Patch.
They say he had been drinking during the
morning, and failed to keep bis feet together
and his body perpendicular, as on previous
occasions. SO when he struck the atet the
breath left his body, and he was Knocked
senseless. A month or 50 afterward they
found his body away down below Rochester,
! driftcd upon the rocks.
