AS we were coming down some
days ago, it was our pleasure to meet
President Battle, of the University, whom
our people know to be one of the most
energetic workers in the educational in
terest of the State. He gives gratifying
statements as to the number of students
at the University-the number now being
two hundred or more. Pres. Battle is a
man of very liberal views he does not
confne himself to the interest Of Chapel
Hill alone, but takes pleasure in speaking
words of encouragement for all institu-
tons of learning in the country. We
hope the present year may be one Of great
success to his institution, both in an in
crease in the number of students and
in the scholarly attainments Of those
already there. Prof. Gore, who has been
connecfe with the institution but short

the Faculty, and is highly esteemed by
all who know him. 1t was our pleasure,

He Disappears In the Niagara
WhirIpUOi.

BUFFALO, July, N-Captain Webb,
the noted Englishswimmer met an I'M
timely death this afternoon in attempt-
ing to swim the Niagara whirlpool rap
ids. He was to go over the course
which the Maid of the Mist ran many
years ago in escaping an attachment.
No craft but this ever survived the per.
lis of that terrible channel and no hu.
nan being save her crew ever passed
alive through the rapids. Captain
Webb and his business manager, Fred
Kyle, of Boston, left Buffalo this
morning and spent most of the day at
the no el and about the falls, taking
but cursory survey of the rapids,
At one o'clock the press representa-
tives and others Immediately interested
were informed that Captain Webb
would enter at four o'clock. The num-
Der of spectators was small, there being
not more than five hundred scattered
along the banks to witness the hazard
GUS undertaking. The failure of the
railroad companies and hotels to CO.
operate with him rendered the enterprise
a failure financially. 1t was precisely
two minutes past four when Webb
sprang from his boat, about third of a
mile above the railroad suspension
bridge and close to the old Maid of the
Mist landing. He was entirely nude,
save band around his body for the
protection of his stomach.
The daring and accomplished swim
mer gave himself no artificial assist
ance whatever. His leap from the
boat was greeted with prolonged cheer.

of the river and buoyed himself grace
fully upon the surface as the mighty
current carried him toward the deadly
whirlpool, nearly mile and half be-
low 1t was a thrilling spectacle and
brilliant performance. The struggle il
the rapids lasted thirteen minutes, by
which time Captain Webb had reached
the whirlpool.
AS the intrepid navigator came to the
whirlpool he was seen to throw up one
Of his arms. Whether this was intended
as a signal of distress, fear or danger,
or merely to exhibit his strength to
those on land can only be on,ectured

He was very intelligent-lOoking. His
natatorial exploits began in 1873. Dur.
ing that year he was serving before the
mast on the Cunard steamship Russia.
One day shipmate fell overheard from
the rigging. There was gale blowing
and the Russia was booming along at
fifteen knots an hour
Webb sprang into the water in an in
stant and made a gallant effort to save
the drowning sailor. He could not
reach him, however. Webb's struggl e
in the water asted upwards of half an
hour. He was given a purse of $500 on
the spot and afterwards medal. In
1875 he accomplished the remarkable
feat of swimming tho English Channel

SAD DROWNING CASE.
Little Nellie Rosenberg Loses Her
Life At Atlantic Jity.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J, July "a
Shortly before II O'Clock this morning
loud shrek of fright and agony at
tracted the attention of spectators TO a
poiut in the surf on the upper side OF
the ocean pier, about 200 fee from the
waters edge, and some % feet north OF
the first pavilion on the pier. In full
sight of hundreds Of helpless spectators
a woman's white arms were thrown up
against the background Of breaker,
and where two female forms had been
struggling n moment before only one
was to be seen.
Almost AT the same moment n male
voice shrieked loudly, and II man head
was seen momentarily emt rging from
the breakers and going under again, rs
he uttered choking cries for assistance.
He seemed utterly unable to help either
himself or the drowning woman, and
by this time had struggled some dis
tance away from the latter and toward
the shore.
Mike Bradford, a life guard here, ran
up from his station, hundred yards
below,and swan out past the struggling
man, who continued to make his way
to the shore, which he reached in safe
ty. When Bradford reached the two
girls one of the bathers had sunk foi
the third time. The struggling girls
were Maggie Wasser and Nellie Rosen.
berg, schoomates, and both about toIn :
teen years old. They were inseparable
companions, and had been here for
some weeks.
1t was Nellie who had sunk, and
when Bradford reached the shore with
Maggie, who was now unconscious, she
was hurried to neighboring booth,
where restoratives were applied, and
gradually the color came into her
cheeks, her lips parted and the word
" Nellie" came family from her throat.
She was then taken to the cottage.
When Nellie Rosenberg was seen to
throw up her arms the first time Maggie
Wasser was distinctly seen to make
frantic efforts to 60 to her assistance.
Neither was able to swim, but by pad
ding desperately with her hands and
drowning playmate Maggie was enabled
not only to maintain her head above
water, but to make considerable pro-
gress toward Nellie's receding form,
uttering no cry herself, yet always
fighting her desperate way through the
waves.
Maggie Wasser had scarcely begun
to show signs of vitality when another
startling scene was presented. Under
the eyes of the great crowd hanging
eagerly from every railing, doorway
and neighboring point Of vantage
twenty feet away on the crest of a
breaker a bather's b'ue cap was seen
to flash through the foam. Instantly
all eyes were fixed on it with Il horri-
fed curiosity. A heavier wave washed
it in and the lifeless body of Nellie
Rosenberg, her long, black hair spread
out over the wave came into full view.
A dozen men rushed in and snatched
her from She water, but all efforts at
resuscilation We're in vain.
Nellie is the daughter Of Charles |,
X. Rosenberg, residing at No. ALP Hut

connected with the hohse of Peter

The exact connection which Fred
Douglass had with the scheme of Johr
Brown has long been u matter of Somt
mystery. There is now no reason why
IA plain statement of that connection
should not be made. Douglass knew
Brown exceedingly well, and thorough
ly.:sympathized with his original scheme
which was simply to run off slaves. and
to make slave property insecure by such
means. but had in it no suggestion of
insurrection. When he found, how
ever, that the original plan was to he
abandoned, and that Brown had de-
tcrlnincd to capture Harper's Ferry, ne
visited him Chambersburg, Pa, two
weeks before the outbreak, ami by
every means in his power tried to dis
suade him from his mad undertaking.
The last interview which Douglass
had with Brown and Kagai, Secretary
of War;" occurred in the middle ofthe
night alta stone quarry Oh the river bank
near Chambersburg.
Brown, already suspected and watch.
ed by the authorities, dared not en- or
the town, fearing that his presence
might lead to the seizure of the arms
and ammunition for the use of his fol-
lowers, which he had collected near at
hand. Again at that meeting, with
every forcibe expression which he could
command, Douglass tried to dissllade
his friends from making the cOntempla.
ted attack upon Harper's Ferry. But
Brown was not to be moved. In reply
to all Douglass arguments he simply
said
eff we attack Harper's Ferry, as we
have now arranged, the country will
be aroused, and the negroes will see
their way clear to liberation. We'll
hold the citizens Of the town rs hosta-
ges, and 50 holding them can dictate
our terms. You, Douglass, should b,
one of the first TO 60 with U.S..
" No. no." replied the latter, I cant
agree with you and will not go with
you. Your attempt can only result in
utter ruin to you and 80 all those who
take part in it, without giving any sub
stantial aid to the men in slavery. Let
us rather 90 on with our first plan of
the underground railroad, by which
the slaves may be run Oft to the free
States. by that means practical results
can be obtained. From insurrection
nothing is TO be expected but imprison-

urged his friend.

which admitted Of no further opposi-

He held out his hand. Douglass
