A THRILLING INCIDENT.

=" "As"An u rev Ecet VI lne Mos hone
Falls.
Since the letting of contracts for
the cutting Of ties by the Oregon
Short Line Railroad Company, many
thousands have been Gu. and run
down Wood River and other streams
tributary to Snake river, to tie
booms at convenient points along the
rivers and then banked for delivery
to the railway construction forces.
In spite OF the utmost precaution
many hundred ties would get
away from the bankers, go over the
tie-booms and down stream until all
met in Snake river. The current of
the latter is extremely rapid, and
although men are engaged along
each stream below the tie boom, and
also along the Snake river, to pull out
runaway ties, large numbers of ties
even then get past before they can be
secured and towed ashore.
The officers of the q. S. l.. Railway
Company, finding it impossible to
save any ties which should float down
AS far as Shoshone Falls, stated that
they would release all claims to all
ties which went down stream to the
falls, and count them AS lost.
The passage of such amounts of
valuable wood over the falls induced
an enterprising man in that vicinity,
whose name is not known here, to
build skitf and, rowing into the
strong current, to secure ties in large
quantities. His boat was fringed with
ropes and leading lines with iron
staples on the end of each. Going
into the river, which is very wide, he
would row down stream near to
tie, swing his boat, drive staple into
the tie, and SO secure number and
;ow them ashore.
Monday last he did such heavy
business that he was making a very
arge catch, and, having secured it,
:ried to swing to to tow it ashore. The
current was too strong, and, in spite of
Every effort, took him steadily nearer
The falls. Finally, seeing his danger,
ne cut the ties loose ana in two
minutes more the float went over the
falls with a terrible leap, the ties jump
ng end ever end a hundred feet in
he air at each bound.
The boatman had not realized his
Danger in time, but when he did he
was seen from shore to lay down to
MS work in earnest and pull with
'uperhuman energy. The current was
violent and constantly boiling and
Fo"mng against his little craft, and
'et for half an hour he bent to his
'ars and pulled diagonally for shore,
beading a few points up stream.
'inally he landed his boat and his
ricnds ran to his assistance. The
'oat struck the shore just 81 feet
bove the precipice over which the
eluge Of water was rushing and
ascending $50 feet pe'pendicularly,
w hen the boatman was taken from
he boat his hair was standing straight
II end, aud could not be kept down,
is eyes were protruding and blco6-
hot, his chest heaving and making
noise such as winded horse would
rake, and an hour later his wrists,
ands and muscles Of both arms

as a terrible fight for life and he
on, but five minutes more of such
rugole and terror would have made

No ties lave been caught there

SUDDEN DEATH OF A TEACHER OF
ELoCUrIoN. There are very few who
have attended the soirees of this Augu.ts
Female Seminary, that do not tecollect the
thrilling dramatic elocution of Miss Carrie
Butler, of Savannah, Ga, or who have
forgotten the young face, palld with heart
disease, but radian. with the fire of true
genius. In those days she was a
pupil, but as soon as she graduated
she became instructress in elocution
at Edge Hill Seminary in Albemarle.
and afterwards filled the same po-
sition at the Piedmont Female lnstitu-
ton in Charlottesville. Last week size
died suddenly at her home in Savannah,
of the di-ease that had beset her life.
Full of dramatic genius she had none OF
the eccentricities that often accompany
genius. and her whole nature was sweet
and wholesome, and attracted the love OF
all who knew her.
