Over Niagara Fails.

"The most agonizing scene that /
was ever doomed to Witness" says q
veteran visitor, twas the carrying
over the Falls OF Niagara Of young
Charles AddingtOn and little Eva
De Forest. The Addingtons and De
Forests were prominent families in
Buffalo in those days, and young
Charles was engaged to I've married
to Ada De Forest. Miss De Forests
mother and her little sister Eva, ac-
eompanied by young Addington and
herself, came to the Falls one day in
the summer to spend the day. While
they were on Goat Island little Eva
went away by herself, and Mrs. De
Forest sent the young man after her.
He found her standing near the shore.
He thoughtlessly stole up behind her
and, grasping her under the arms
held her out over the water. She
suddenly threw up her hands and
slipped through his arms into the
water. he instantly Sprang In after
her and reached her before the swifter
rapids had caught her. He succeeded
in getting her back near enough to
the shore to throw her on the bank,
but she had not strength sufficient to
hold on until her mother could grasp
her and fell back into the water,
They were both carried over the Falls
in sight of their beloved ones. For
years afterwaFd AddingtOn's father
visited the Falls once week, and
would sit for hours gazing at the
water where they were lost. He final
ly ceased coming, and we learned
that he had died grieving for his boy,

A VERY BAD BREAK.

An Intended Presidential Felicity that
was Not at All Complimentary to Ar
thur.
A couple of prominent Republican poll
ticlans, says a Washington special, called
on the President on Saturday, and after
concluding their business fell to discuss
ing politics. ''What pity, Mr.. Presi-
dent" said one Of the gentlemen, in a
complimentary mood, ''that we did not
take our leader from New York, too; how
very interesting you would have made it
for Mr.. Cleveland"
YES" chimed in the other caller, anx-
ious to be agreeable, 81, too, wish that
were the fight. The Democrats are more
easily pleased than we are" he added,
innocently.
The light in the faces of both the Presi-
dent and the visitor, who had first spoken,
faded, and in moment more the two VS.
itors withdrew. When the two gentle
men were safely out of the house. the one
who had first addressed the President
about the political race. said to the other,
''That was - of a remark you made
to the President about the Cleveland bus
iness."
"Why," replied the other, trying to re-
call what he had said, "Wasn't that all
rightW
"Well, say, you think about it mo-
ment and then answer for yourself"
The gentleman thus addressed began
turning the matter over in his mind, and
as he did so, betrayed the fact in his face
that a new light was breaking in on him.
SWhy, do you know" he said. 'sThat
remark seemed all right to me when /
made it. | swear / intended it for a COM
pliment. do you think the President
took it as you didw
The expression on the other gentleman's
face'was one of mingled disgust and friend
ly commiseration, EFThe President is a for
giving gentleman, but if 1 were in your

ATHENS, GA, July 16.-To-day was the
last of the commencement. The day is
always the peculiar faYorite of visitors to
this college, and to-day the chapel was
crowded. Speeches were made by seven
of the senior class. After the speaking
the Chancellor announced the following
honor men for 1884:
A. NJ. course, B. j. Colyers, first honor.
and first in University.
A. b. course, first honor, r. II. johnson ;
second honor, A. II. Cary; third honor, A.

The following received diplomas:
In the law class, in which no hOnors are
bestowed, j. T. Allen, A. p. Henley. e. f.
Hinton, j. p. Perry, p. ID. Pollock, j. w.
Shell, NJ. j. Tompkins, j. N. Rowland and
j. X. Williams.
The trustees decided to make no changes
in the management of the university. The
only change in the faculty is the addition
of A. W. VauhOOse as tutor.
The intercollegiate debate between the
University and Mercer was to have taken
place tonight, and Mercer's champions
have been here for some days, but Judge
Bleckley, who was to preside, failed to
arrive, and no one agreeable to both
parties could be found to take his place.
This is unfortunate, and the visitors
regret it very much, as a rare treat was
expected.
The large crowd is dwindling percept-
IDLY, and soon Athens will be almost
deserted.
The last act in this very successful
commencement is now taking place. The
commencement ball is now going on at
the opera house.

Umbria will measure 5000 tons, and will
be the largest vessel yet launched at FAR

expense has been spared to give her these
qualifications. The dimensions of the
hull are: Length over all. $40

WEST INDIAN TROUBLES.
The Situation at Several Places Eimi-
lar to That at Havana


HAVANA, July 16.-A letter from San
tiago de Cuba describes the situation
there as being no better than at Havana.
Failures, extra.judicial ARRANGEMENTS
and liquidation Of commercial houses
follow each other. Accounts from Triui-
dad, Ceinfuegos and other places on the
southern and northern coast are
just as desperate. Private persons
are in receipt of news that
there has been an attempt at mutiny
among the troops at Santa Clara on ac-
count Of the scarcity and badness of the
food they are receiving, and on account of
the failure Of the government to pav
them several months salary which is due
them. Various bands of rebels continue
to commit depredatiOns in various parts
Of the island and the troops make no
effort to suppress them.
The news from the elections in San Do
mlngo is that Bellina has been trium-
phantly elected to the Presidency of that
Republic. The result in the province of
Monte Cristo is still unknown.

Early yesterday morning, SAYS the New
York San of July IA, half dozen carri-
ages rolled up in front of Mrs. A. d. Wor-
sham's house at West Fifty-fourth
street. Two or three young girls and as
many elderly couples got out and walked
up the broad brown stone steps and into
the large front parlor. Two gentlemen
came alone. The first was Mr.. Coils p.
Huntington, who was going to be married.
and the last was Henry Ward Beecber.
who had come from Brooklyn to marry
him to Mrs. WOrsham. Her son. lad of
IL or Is, was one of the witnesses of the
ceremony, which was performed at 10
O'Clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Huntington left for
the country early in the afternoon. This
advertisement, printed in the eveniAg

Huntlngton's acquaintance had of his
marriage:

Mr. Huntington is nearly 63 years old.
He is native of Connecticut, settled in

A SOCIETY BELLIES DOWNFALL.
The Opium Habit Prompts Her to Fly

The Opium Habit Prompts Her to F1y
Her Home and COnsOrt with Negroes.
There is now pending in court of
equity in this city, says a Baltimore
special to the New York World, divorce
suit which has brought to light particu-
lars of a most revolving character, Illus
trating in startling and distressing
manner the blighting effects of the opium
habit. Owing to the high social standing
of the parties involved the greatest secre-
sy has been observed and the names are
withheld from publication. It is known
however, that the unfortunate victim of
the deadly drug was until her marriage
in 1859 noted society be lie, living on the
Eastern Shore. She graduated with
high h0nors, and upon enter
ing society was recognized as the
belle of the county, which boasted
many beautiful women. She had scores
of admirers, but gave her hand to a gen.
tleman living in the same county, of equal
social rank and wealth. The wedding
was solemnized with great eclat, and was
one of the most prominent social events
of the Eastern Shore. For several years
the married life of the couple was one of
great happiness. Three childrensbIessed
the union. Soon after the birth of the
last child 1t was observed that the lady
became subject to fits of melancholy, at
times taking no interest in anything
around her, and again being buoYant and
cheerful. An old and trusted servant
finally discovered that the wife was con-
firmed opium-eater. Every effort was
made by the distracted husband to break
her of the habit, but without success.
Two years ago, she disappeared-sti
young and pretty-and though detectives
were employed, no trace of her could be
found. Recently a policeman of this
city observed among the names of
persons sent to the House of Correction
that of the missing woman, whom he had
known in youth. Upon her discharge he
traced her to one of the Vilest dens in this
city, kept by colored woman. The Off
Ger notified the husband, and few days
ago they went together to the place, and
the husband found his long-lost wife-his
beautiful bride of a few years befOre-in
the company of a coarse, brutal-looking
negro. The wretched man sprang for
ward to destroy her, but was restrained
by the policeman. All traces Of the wo-
mans former beauty had disappeared
and she was almost unrecognizable even
to her husband. Evidence for the divorce
suit was obtained and the opium victim
left to her fate. In conversation she ap-
peared to be wholly depraved and did not
manifest the slightest regret for what she
had done. She was unmoved, except
when allusion was made to her children,
when she betrayed some little emotion.

that the civil service reform law prohibited

VICTIMS OF wITCHCRAFr.
How Two SuperstItious Patients Wer

How Two SuperstItious Patients We're
Cured of Fancfed RIaIadies.
That the superstition Of witchcraft still
has possession of some people in this
enlightened age, says the Philadelphia
Record, is affirmed by DIR. Richardson. of
the Board Of Health, who recently minis
tered to two victims Of that unholy weak
ness. They are both young women. One
was suffering from contraction and
paralysis of the left leg of several weeks
standing. Her family came from one of
the northern English shires, and are con.
fident that she was bewitched. After
vain attempts to assure the patient and
her people that the limb would perform
its functions under the direction Of little
will power DIR. Richardson stllpefied the
girl with chloroform. The contracted
muscles relaxed with the rest of the
system, and the next morning the patient
was able to walk.
DIR. Richardson's other case was a
young lady who was bent almost double.
and remained in bed almost constantly
for eleven months. Whenever the
SWITCH" to whom she attributed her
misfortune, approached her she eyinced
the most frightful paroxysms of excite
ment. The Doctor sent her to the PENN
sylvania Hospital, gave her a harmless
potion to take at certain intervals. and
just as soon as she became homesick the
cure Of the fancied malady and the belief
In witchcraft was speedy and complete.
