DEFAULTER GRAY'S METHODS. How He Could Steal Without De.
 lection.

BOSTON, August 21.-William Gray, jr., Treasurer of the Atlantic and the Indian Or chard Mills turned key on a score of awful secrets when he put bullet into his heart. It IS astonishing to note the effect which his crime and death have had upon business men in this city.
 The one question asked is: ssHow did he manage to take so much without any one knowing it?" MT. Gray was treasurer of two large mills and director in the New England National Bank. The bank is not effected at all by his actions; the Atlantic Mill has suffered only slightly, but the Indian Orchard Mill is ruined.
 NIn an interview with high official of the Atlantic Mill he said: ssYes, am in a posi- tion to know about what MT. Gray has done, and how he did it. MT. Gray was practically absolute as Treasurer of the Atlantic and In- dian Orchard Mile. Coming of stock of un. questioned lntegrity-and l regret to say that too many big business men in Boston are in high positions because their family name is good--and looked upon for various reasons as one of the strongest men in the city, his actions were accepted correct without a word of hesitation. It is true, though it has not been stated, that Gray's peculations began somewhere about 1881 but this fact was learn- ed only after the shock of last Saturday and Monday, when the books were overhauled and the crookedness traced back. Gray carried on his thefts in this way: As Treasurer of the Atlantic Mill, he would lend large sum of money to the Indian Orchard Mill. It then being on tbe account of the Indian Orchard Mill, he would make use of it for himself. He also would lend from the Indian Orchard Mill to the Atlantic, and then, as he continued to do this, the officials of each mill would SUD- pose that the other was all right. The book keepers could not tell that the acts of their s,1- perior were not proper, and so, by some in- genious twisting of accounts, which even yet has not been fully explained, he contrived to use the money as he wished"

DEATH AT NIAGARA.
Graha m has a Terrifying Experience
 and James c. Scott Perishes.

Ora ham, the barrel crank, went through the Whirlpool rapids at Niagara Falls with his head sticking out of barrel end says he will never do it again. James C.. Scott tried to go through in cork suit and pcrished.
 Graham says of his trip:
 s'I was all right until i reached the second or third wave. Then the swell carried me up, almost smothering me. had a sponge in my mouth, but the waves slapped it out and knocked the cotton out of my ears. I almost wished, as I was tossed up and down, that l had not tried to make the trip. I would not take S1 ,OO0 and make it again. This settles my exploits here. Once my head was slung along within two feet of rock, and I thought I was killed sure. The barrel bumped over the rocks right along, and I thought every minute was my last onc.'
 Part of Graham's body was almost black and blue witth bruises and the rest was very red. When asked what the whirlpool looked like, he sail:
 ''It is the wickedest looking place ever saw. Where 1 struck 1t seemed to be on tho outside of 8 stream of water working downward, like an augur. There were a thousand sticks in went around the outside. There seems to be a big basin in the centre of the whirlpool, but 1 could not see how deep it was."
 Scott had been about for some days threat ening to jump into the rapids, but nobody paid any attention to him. He jumped into the whirlpool clad in his cork life preserver, a shirt and pair of drawers. The time when he jumped in is disputed His clothes were found on Thomson flats just above the wllirl- pool, and from there he evidently walked around the bank to the place where he jumped in. His body. clad ..in the cork life pre- server is evidence that he tried to swim the rapids.

Encouragement to Cranks.

It is an error to say that no creature that ever went over Niagara Falls escaped with his life. In 1886 bull terrier went over and came out alive. In 1858 another dog was flung in above the falls, and an hour afterwards 1t came dripping up the ferry steps, a little rat tied and disgusted with things in gen eral, but otherwise uninjured. A re- cent writer says that there can some times be seen at the foot of the falls water cones apparently ten or twelve feet high. These are formed by the rapid accumulation and condensation of the falling water. It pours down so rapidly and in su h quantities that the water below, so to speak, cannot run off fast enough, and it piles up as though it were in state of violent ebul- lition. These cones are constantly fall ing and breaking. hardy animal fall ing on to one of these cones as on a soft cushion might slide safely into the current below. The dogs were doubt less fortunate enough to fall in this way and were also aided by the rcpulsion of the water from the rock in the swift channel through which they passed. As Graham's feat of running the rapids has now been equalled and as the bar rel route promises to become a popular route for ladies and children, he will have to go over the falls in his barrel or remain overshadowed. The chances are strongly in favor of his going over the falls y.-Detroit Free Press.

The Fruit Prospect.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, August 18-With the aid of about 1,500 special correspondents the Ne,o Engtand Homestead will this week present a complete forecast as to the yield of large fruits, the harvest of which has been com menced. It is the even or bearing year for ap- ples in New England, but, although there is a large yield of fall fruit, the reports indicate that the crop of winter apples will be about 70 per cent. of the usual even-year yield ln six States. In the best apple counties of Vermont, along Lake Champlain, not two-thirds of full even-year crop will be secured, while Maine reports decrease of twenty per cent, but both these States and New Hampshire will have large surplus. Connecticut has but half crop and Massachusetts only S0p per cent of crop. The falling off in New England, however, will be partly made up by the great crop in the apple sections of Nova Scotia. An napolis and Kings Counties last year exported will have surplus of one hundred thousand barrels. The great apple counties of Western New York promise the lightest crop in twenty years, aud the quality promises to be compar- atively poor. The great apple counties of Or leaps, Monroe, Niagara, Wayne, and Wyom- ing are reported as having scarcely per cent
 of the average yield. Many towns in this sec- tion which usually ship great quantity of apples will have practically none for export this year, and the farmers have very large ideas as to prices. In eastern New York there is 8 better prospect but the average for the whole State 400 reports-is only 52 per cent. Pennsylva- mia has S5 per cent. of full apple crop, and there is good crop in Ohio, but from further West the reports are discouraging, and the Northwest and Southwest have such small supply as to offer remunerative market for the surplus of the Middle States much of which was last year available for export.

WESTERN CONFLAGRATIONs.
Measures for the Relief of the Suf fcrers-Vivid Description of a Fight with the Flames.

OcoNTo, Wis, Aug 1.-The measures pro- posed for the relief of the sufferers by the con- fagrations include the erection of houses, furnishing them plainly, and giving supply Of fuel, food and clothing for the coming win ter. Then in the spring they will need seed and some of them horses. Fortunately few of the farmers have lost their horses and cattle, although many of the latter are suffering from burned hoofs. It is estimated that it will cost $100 head for men, women and children to support them until the harvest time next year.
 In Bellevue, Depere and Lawrence townships the burned out families probably number twenty-seyen, while i'll PittsGcld Suamico and Howard townships there are about sixty fami- lies who will need more or less assistance.
 As one approached the fires, cattle could be seen running away, believing as though in great pain. On approaching closer hoarse shouts could be heard and soon scores of men could be seen fighting the flames. The line along which the fight was being made was bounded on one side by the main road and on the other by 8 turnpike which led to the north. To the southwest was large cornficld, which was easily guarded and the exertions of the men were spent in endeavoring to keep the fire from crossing the roads. At the approach of the fire the side of the road towards it had been cleared of brush and dead trees and there wss large open space for the flames to cross. The fire approached with deafening roar rushing through the dry grass and underbrush faster than man could run, and leaping to a height of six feet. The heat was intense. The leaves on the trees shriveled up in an instant the flames passed below, and dropping down helped to feed the fire dead tree would be en- clrcled and ill moment would be blazing from top to bottom. A pile of brush would be fired as quickly as so much gunpowder, while the limbs on the living trees burned rap idly.
 2, Every few minutes one of the thousands of sparks which crossed the road would ignite some combustibles on that side. These fires were quickly beaten out by the guards, armed with branches of green brush. Occasionally 8 cry on one side or the other would tell that a fire had gained Q start in spite of the efforts would be made to the point by number of men who would extinguish the flames.

Ayers Hair vigor keeps the Hair soft and pliant, imparts to it the lustre and freshness of youth, causes it to grow luxuriantly, eradicates Dandruff, cures all scalp diseases, and is the most clean ly of all hair preparations.
 AYERS Hair vigor has given mo nearly bald for six years, during which time used many hair preparations, but without success. Indeed. what littlc haar l had was growing thinner, until ! tried Ayers Hair Nigor. I used two bottles of the Vigor, and my head is now we'll covered with new growth of hair -Judson B. Chapel, Peabody, Mass.
 AAlQ that has become weak, gray, ssNsss and faded. may have new life and color restored to it by the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. ssMy hair was thin, faded, and dry, and fell out in large quantities. Ayers Hair Vigor stopped the falling, and restored my hair to its original color. As dressing for the hair, this preparation has no equal. - Mary N. Hammond, Saltwater, Minn. V1C0R youth, and beauty, in the sOss1 appearance of the hair, may De preserved for an indefinite period by the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. s~A dis ease of the scalp caused my hair to be- come harsh and dry, and to fall out freely. Nothing 1 tried seemed to do me any good until I commenced using Ayers Hair Vigor. Three bottles of this preparation restored my hair to a healthy condition, and it is now soft and pliant. My scalp is cured, and it is also free from dandruff. .-M Mrs. E. k. Foss, Milwaukee, Wis.

Persecution in Russia.

It is well-known that what we are in the habit of calling the Baltic Provinces of Russia were mainly pcopled by Ger mans, and that they were naturally welded to the Lutheran Church and to Lutheran doctrine. It has often been said that Bismark's work is incomplete so long as these people were not lnclud- ed in the limits of Fatherland, and that in the event of war with Russia Ger many might attempt the accomplish ment of such purpose. Russia seems resolved to anticipate any such action by forcing the Germans into the Greek Church, and thus obliterating German sentiment in the provinces. All the children of mixed marriages are claimed by the authorities for the Greek Church. One of the most esteemed pastors, Pas tor Brandt, has been sent to the mines at Smolensk for asserting the rights of his people, and as many as sixty pastors have recently been summoned before the authorities for similar loyalty to the people of their own race and religion. The German Evangelical Allianceis con sidering what steps shonld be taken in behalf of their persecuted brethren.

AN AVALANCHE OF PEAT.
Loss of Life and Property Caused by a Freak in the Falkland Islands.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-Secretary Bayard has received a despatch from the United States Consul at Port Stanley, Falkland Is- lands, giving an account of a slip of peat which occurred on the night June 3, causing loss of life and great destruction of property. Extending the entire length of the south shore of the harbor, and at slight elevation, is a peat-bog from which the laboring population cut their fuel There are no channels which drain the bog, and large quantities of water collect there during the long rains, which at certain seasons fast for days at time. For three days previous to the disaster a rainstorm had prevailed. About eight o'clock in the even ing the bog began to quake, and finally, with Q noise like thunder, it broke loose, rushing down upon the town, carrying away every thing in it's course, blocking up the streets and piling up the peat in places to the height of six or eight feet. Solid stone walls were rent asunder, fences, porches, iron lamp-posts torn away; turned up boats, houses-an were swept away before its march.
 The bewildered and terrified population be- ieved their town was being destroyed by an earthquake and added their piercing yells and cries for help to the indescribable horrors of the night. The avalanche lasted only an hour. but its path was one of great devastation.
 A mass of scattered peat amounting to no less than 50,00O tons lay over the town. A boy of seven and an old man named Patrick Keat- ing were lost. The body of the latter has not yet been exhumed.

Simpson Africa for Sec retary of Internal Affairs and W. J. Brennan, of Allegheny, for Auditor General. The platform reaffirms the Chicago platform of 1884; favors just and fair revision of the thu administration of President Cleveland eulo- gizes the State administration of Governor Patterson; sympathizes with labor in its efforts to make industrial and moral worth, not money, the true standard of individual and na- tional greatness and to secure to the workers the full enjoyment of the wealth they create and sufficient leisure in which to develope their intellectual and social faculties, and to this end we desire the enlargement of the Bureau of Statistics. The platform declares that the State and local tax laws should be so altered and amended as to relieve farms and real estate from their present unfair and large proportion of taxation, and equallze the same so that personal estate would be made to pay its just part It closes with a resolution hon. bring the memory of recently deceased lead CTS of the party.
 The Ohio Democratic State Convention nominated John Mcbride for Sec. of State. MT. Mcbride is not only leading Knight of Labor, but is president of the State Miners Union and a member of the present and last Legislature. The platform indorses the ad-
 
 the leaders of the democracy who have died within the year; declares that taxes should not be collected beyond the needs of government economically administered; denounces the at tempt to change the measure of values, in the face of the worlds vast debts from gold and silver to gold alone, as an act of monstrous in justice, and demand that both gold and silver, as established by the constitution, shall be maintained as the basis of our money system.
 At a meeting of the Massachusetts Repub- lican State Committee to consider the question of the date for holding the State Convention, it was decided to fix the date on September 29, at Fremont Temple, Boston.

GEN. AUGUR SHOT.
A Negro Revenges a Rebuke by Fir
 ing Four Times.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 1SS6.-Gen Christo- pher c. Augur, retired, U. s. Army was shot four times about one o'clock in the morning at his residence by negro named William Pope. His wounds will not prove serious although he may be confined to his house for some time. Pope and another colored man were standing in front of the Generals residence using pro- fane and obscene language, when he opened the door and ordered them to move away. The only response he received was volley of pro- fane abuse and coarse epithets. This was more than he could stand and, armed with light cane, he rushed upon the two men and struck Pope sharp blow over the head. As he did so the negro drew pistol and fired. The ball struck General Augur in the right leg. above the knee, and with cry he staggered back. Before he could recover himself Pope fired again and the ball took effect in the right leg. Two more shots followed, one of which struck the General in the left leg, and the other in the side. Tbe negro fired the shots is a notorious character who has already served term in the Penitentiary for murder. He has been arrested.
