MIRACULOUS ESCAPE AT NIAGARA.

gentleman, accompanied by his wife,
arrived at this place last night on the mid
night Erie train from the East. They were
on their way from New London, Conn, to
their home in the State of Minnesota, and
deviated little from their direct route in
order to visit the great falls. Arriving so
late, they concluded that they would not 90
to hotel, and waited in the Erie depot
until after o'clock, when they started
down townto see the sights. They strayed
first down to the bank of the river Just be-
low Winners mill. Here the gentleman
attempted to bathe his face, when he sud-
denly became dizzy and fell helplessly in
to the boiling rapids. The screams of the
strangers wife attracted the attention of
VIM. Dinan, who was watering his horses
near by. Dinan, tied his horse to tree
and rushed after the woman, who was rum
ming toward the Cataract House. Dinan
says he could just distinguish the form of
the man in the rapids, and he told the terri
fled woman that it was of no use to attempt
his rescue, lie would certainly go over the
falls. The woman ran through the gate lead
ing to the little park between the Cataract
House and the old River Hotel, and hur-
ried down the bank to the raceway below.
Dinan followed moment later, and his
astonishment can hardly be imagined when
he saw the dripping stranger sitting on
the steps in the embrace of his weeping
wife. After falling into the water the
gentleman said that he hardly realized
where he was for moment. He could
not swim, but he struggled as best he
could to reach the shore. This of course
was an utter impossibility to accomplish,
but as good luck would have it the drown
ing man was hurled against the bulk head
of the pier inclosing the raceway back of
the Cataract House, and was carried into
the quiet water, where he managed to Sc
cure a hold on the masonry, and climbed
out upon terra frma. The mans escape
from death was little less than miraculous.
He hardly realized at first the magnitude
of the danger he had escaped. He had
not seen the falls, and he questioned Mr..
Dinan AS to whethor he would have been
killed to q certainty if had been carried
over the cataract Niagara Falls Gazette,

A PISTOL SHOT IN TAMMANY HALL.

There quito gallant gathering of Sixth ward

where the Robert Tucker Association holding
their annual ball. Gayety ran high. and the COM
pany were tripping it to the accompaniment Of
string and brass. when shouts and oaths drowned
the crash Of the band, and set Of festive spirits
were engaged in hand-to-hand encounter. OF
course it behooved Robert Tucker in whose honor
the celebration was held, to interfere and restore
quiet. At it he went with will, and when the
police came in he and friend in
the thick of the melee and striving vigorously
to put the combatants out. At this stage some one
struck Tucker on one side, while some else put
pistol to his head on the other and blazed away.
Tho bullet had probably been fired by unsteady
hand. for it only grazed the skull and glanced off
without doing any serious injury. BY this time the
police had put eud to the fght and turned their
wits to the detection Of the real culprits. There
good many people around who had piled
their fists rather vigorously; but Tucker was
the only person hurt. So this distinc ton
served to end all doubt in the official
mind as to whom should be blamed. and the injured
man at once put under arrest Daniel Sullivan,
of No. % Park street, attempted to explain and
thereby made himself liable to police attention,
which was summarily bestowed upon him. After
