The Grand Jury has postponed its
examination of the Golden City disas-

light may be thrown on the matter BY
United States Inspector CARROTS in
vestigation. The bulk of the testi.
mony has already been heard, and the
jury do not feel satisfied that it is of
such character as to call for an in
dictment. They are agreed there was
carelessness on the part of the mates
and the Captain Of the Watch, but
whether of a criminal character or not
is another question.

SPRIGEEIELD, o., Sept. 4Gh, 1ooz.
Editor Herald III you will allow
me space IN your interesting paper,
Twill try to give a minute discrip-
ton Of Niagara Falls. Prospect
Point was first visited; 1t extended
to the edge of the American Falls,
where the water daslles over a pre-
cipice one hundred and sixty feet
high. There was a rainbow encir-
cling portion of the Falls. and
within that circle the water pours
SO constantly that it resembles q
solid column of ice and spray and
glittering like so many jewels and
there You witness a scene that ya--
les but never changes. We then
moved up the river and crossed a
Suspension Bridge to Goat Island;
from there to Luna Island, connect
ed by foot bridge situated on the
edge Of the Falls. 1t is about ten
steps wide, and thirty long; it sits
there as a tiny obstacle opposing the
water, which ruslles widely around,
and then dashes over the precipice.
1t was here that Sam Patch made
his world renowned leap. The next
are the aThree Sisters which cx-
tend out into the Rapids. Then we
cross into Canada by the Suspension
Bridge which is a quarter OF a mile
long. and two Hundred feet above
water. We tookthe Grand: Rapid
drive across the Cedar and Clarke
Hill Island, a fine group, only a
short distance from the great Horse
shoe Falls. The scenery here is
more varied than is to be found any
where in the vicinity of the falls.
The great ripping Of the narrow
stream, among the well wooded
Islands, is in strong contrast with
the turbulence of tie water that
hurries along, as it washes the shore
of the whole group. The current OF
the water is twenty seven miles an
hour. The Burning Springis situated
at the head of the Rapids, and was
discovered by Indians, who accident
ally built their camp over fissure
in the rock, through which the gas
escaped and became ignited. The
water tasted like sulphur, and after
seeing the torch applied, the flames
rushed up and burned at short
distance from the water. We re-
turned to Prospect Park; took a
ride down the inclined r. Il. to the
Shadow of the Rock then changing
suits, we started under the falls. AS
we got into the sprays, most bril-
liant rainbow circled around us, and
moved as we did. Our guide ready,
we started under the falls, over a
rocky bed moves the mighty current,
and after proceeding a short dis.
lance, we were glad to take protec-
ton under an overhanging rock.
Return was not so difficult, SO we
registered and returned to the Park;
went through the Art Gallery, where
some of tie scenery resembled
mountain views Of w. Va. AT
night the Falls were illuminated
with electric light, reflected from
glasses of seven different coloTs.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

DR.. Bliss is still pressing his $685.
600 claim.
The Cincinnati Gazette (Repubh-
CAM has become so enthusiastic that
it flies the American flag at the
head Of it's editorial columns. That
is the banner, we believe, under
which the Republicans have march
ed to victory not only in civic but
military contests.
John W. Mason. the nominee in
the Second district, is a gentleman
worthy the votes of all anti -bourbons.
He is lifelong and true Republi-
can, an enterprismg man and thor
oughly up with the times. We hope
he may be elected and thus receive
just remuneration for his political
seryices.-Telegram,
The outlook for Republican candi-
dates in three Of the West Virginia
Congressional districts is now very
promising. The retdilH of the Pres
idential election of 1886. show that
the Democrats are in minority in
the First and Fourth districts. In
the Second they had majority of
ess than thousand, and they are
now hopelcssly divided there.
John w. Mason is a big man any
way you take him. He is big phys
ically, big mentally, and big in ami
ability, geniality,. and generosity.
Everybody likes him. He has the
respect, confidence. and esteem OF
Democrats. He is a Garfield sort of
nan. He resembles in personal ap-
pearance the dear, dead President.
He resembles him too in his mental
qnalities,in his political liberality, i'm

ness.-Journal

Our attention has been called to
the following Acts of 1882 relating
to elections, and every upright and
honorable voter will agree that they
are severe enough to insure fair
vote if rightly enforced. 1t has been
determined not to let them be a dead
letter in Berkeley County, and men
are on the alert and will be at the
polls to prosecute any violation.
Those who are given to influencing
voters in any such manner, briber
and bribed, will do well to study
carefully the following and profit by
it in time -
Section s, chapter CXXXIX. If
