THE wH1RLrooL's VICTIMS.
Captain Rhodes at Niagara and Confden
of Swimming the Ranids


BUFFALO, N. Y, August 15.-Captain j.
7. Rhodes, of Warren, Pa, returned to
Niagara Falls to-day from Salamanca, where
it was rumored that he had given up his idea
OF swimming the Niagara rapids He looked
over the Falls to-day, and said to a
correspondent that he was determined to
perform the feat In his life-saving armor
Hissole protection, III he makes the ha7 ardous
experiment, win be several pieces of cork one
and half inches long and seven-eighths
wide. The body part reaches from the arm
pits down to the knees and resembles bar
rel with both ends knocked out. The arm
weighs about 30 pounds, and is very strong,
though everyone familiar with the force Of
the currents i'll the Niagara river below TIL"
railway bridge, believes that the force OF
the water will split the rubber straps whica
hold it together. Rhodes would then sink
as Webb did.
The Canadian authorities unoffieially rot
fed Captain Rhodes, through one of the
evening papers, that If he attempted to
enter the river from the Canadian shore be-
would be arrested. The patrolmen along
the bank of the river and near the four
steamboat landings have been doubled Tor
that purpose. The famous swimmer, an
ticipating interference, says that he cannot
fix upon an hour or day for making the at
Lenpb. ne Drought swimming appai AUS
with him, but left his wife, to whom he is
said to be tenderly attached, at Salamanca.
She believes that if her husband makes the
attempt he will succeed.
Captain Rhodes says: " | shall swim the
rapids within two weeks, and successfully.
My idea is to stretch long rope from shore
to shore, just above the whirlpool, in such
manner that it will swing about foot from
the water. Anchored to this rope will be my
1ifeboat, containing two men provided with
long poles, to the end of which will be fas-
tened strong iron hooks, which they can
strike into my armour should | not catch
the boat. The boat will be fastened with
ropes and pulleys, SO that it can be drawn
across the river from side to side, If neces-
sary, at the will of its occupants. shall
take great care in selecting men to perform
this part of the programme"
s'In case you should fail in your calcula-
tions and miss the boat, what will you dos"
81 don't intend to miss the boat; but if l
should, think can reach the rope which
runs across the river and hold myself until
my boat can reach me. Should miss both
rope and boat, my only hope will be in slip
ping off my armor, which l can do in half a
minute, ard depending upon my strength
and experience as swimmer, though ac-
knowledge my chance for coming out alive
would be one in thousand

ANOTHER CRASH.
The Firm of lC. @. Stedman g. Co., Brokers,
Make an Assignment,


New YORK, Aug. 15.-The assignment OF
Edmund G. Stedman and Fredk. s. Stedman,
of the firm of e. G. Stedman g. Co., brokers,
TO John McGinnes was filed to-day, with
preferences of $1,000 to Mrs. Jennie q.
Croly, of 81, 600 to Mrs. Emma E. West, and
81 900 to Miss s. e. Perkins. The failure
was brought about by the outside private
speculations OF Mr.. Frederick 8. Stsdman,
junior partner of the firm.
During his fathers absence, and without
his knowledge or consent, he took securi-
ties amounting to 100000, which he used
Ia speculatlons with Cecil Ward 81 Co. The
losses sustained by the young man are very
heavy. When Mr.. Stedman, Sr., returned
to his office on Monday after a short alb.
sence, he was made acquainted with the
facts and Immediately closed up all his OBJ
legations in the Stock Exchange, and after
examining into the affairs of the concern
thought 1t best TO make an assignment to
Mr.. John McGinniss, Dr., of the Stock Ex-
change.
The liabilities of the firm n i'll amount to
about 100000. Some OF the securities de-
posted by Mr.. Frederick Stedman, with
Cecil Ward, & Co, have been recovered
Mr.. Stedman, Sr., was to day offered ample
means by numerous friends to continue
business, but he thought it best to make an
assignment. He has been member OF the
Stock Exchange Tor the past LIZ years, and
has passed through all the trying times of
the street without difficulty.

subscription of not less than Is cents per
member towards the support of the strikers.
Those chapels which have acted have voted
an assessment of 25 cents per member per
week. AS there are nearly thousand men
belonging to the Chicago Typographical
Union, this insures the strikers about $3.50
week as long as the strike lasts.
Similar action is expected during the week
In other trade organizations, SO there can be
no doubt that the strike In this city will not
collapse for WI MT of funds. AS the Knights
of Labor number something like SOC, 900 In

greatly out of proportion to the power they

SENATOR GORMAN.
What He Says About Governor HamiIton's
Recent letter.
Especial dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. !

Especial dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, August 15.-
Senator German was asked to-day if he had
read Governor Hamilton's letter on Mary
land politics, and what he thought of it. He
replied that he had come to Saratoga to get
rid OF politics. He had read the letter and
found it nothing but restatement of Gov.
Hamilton's speech delivered at the Maryland
Institute two years ago, when he was oppos-
ing the nomination OF Mr.. Keating for comp
troler.
Mr.. German said he noted with pleasure,
however, that the Governor had discovered
that the registry law, which was drafted by
a commission appointed by the convention
which nominated Mr.. Keating is a substan-
tial reform measure. When asked about
the effect of the Governors letter on the
gubernatoriol contest now pending In
Maryland, Mr.. German replied that the con-
est is being carrier on by the people IF the
State themselves, and neither the views of
Governor Hamilton nor anv other promi-
nent politician can affect their action. Mr..
German was asked If he had anything
further to say about the complaints made
against the Democratic party by the Gov
elaor. He replied: Not now, but at
the proper time the Democratic
party will have plenty of defenders.
1t has done done nothing to be ashamed of,
but on the contrary much to be proud of.
1t will be shown in good time that Mary
land has been as well governed during the
past Is years as any State in the Union"
Mr.. William Keyser has gone to Lake
Champlain. He will be back on Friday, to
go to Baltimore on saturday.
