CRANK

BUFFALO, N. Y. June 30. C. d. Ora
ham, a young cooper of South Twentieth
street, Philadelphia, has been in the city
for the past two months making prepare
tons to swim the Niagara whirlpool rapids
in a cask. 1t was in these rapids that
the Inflated Capt. Webb lost his life sew
eral years ago while attempting to swim
them. Mr.. Graham has built a barrel
almost in the shape Of an egg, seven
feet high, and twenty-six, thirty-three,
and seventeen inches in diameter. The
slaves, which are of oak, are one and a
quarter inches thick. lie will get into
the enclosure through a man-hole in the
top, which will be safely fastened, air be-
ing secured by the opening Of valves near
the top at such times as it might be
deemed necessary. He has decided to
make his first attempt on Monday, July
5, and will be rowed down the river to a
point near where Capt. Webb went into
the water, where he will be dropped over
board and allowed to float through the
rapids, a distance of about a mile. The
force of the current, or the danger of OBJ
structions are not feared by Graham,
who says that square blows from a sledge-
hammer on the side OF the barrel will fail
to break it, as it is guarded by iron hoops
set about an inch apart. Graham has
been at the falls every week since his ar
rival here, and says the rapids are not as
dangerous as has been claimed. Six
weeks age he took a cask similar in build,
but only thirty six inches long. and
weighing it with fifty pounds of sand
droppedi it from the old suspension bridge.
1t passed down the river quickly and went
through the whirlpool in eight minutes.
Graham says it never passed under water,
and when taken out did not show a
mark. On that account he is confident
his project is feasible, and if stopped by
the authorities from accomplishing his
object in public, will do it in private. He
is 81 years of age, well appearing, and
tips the scales at l40 pounds.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June ga most
shocking accident occurred in this city at
9 O'Clock this morning, which resulted in
the instant delth of an agel couple, Alex
ander Miller and wife. They were driv-
ing to town with a load OF corn, and, when
crossing the track of the Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago railroad, just below
the corporate line, the north bound pas
senger train, running about six hours late,
struck the wagon abreast the drivers seat.
MIR. Miller was thrown high into the air,
and instantly killed, his body falling down
a twenty foot embankmenl. His wife was
found on the pilot of the engine covered
up with corn and a portion of the wagon
bed, with her skull crushed and life ex-
tinct. The train was running at a fear
full rate of speed, having been delayed at
Bedford nearly all night on account of the
wreck of freight train, and it ran almost
halfa mile after striking the wagon before
it was stopped. Miller and his wife were
respected, and lived ten miles south

CHICAGO, June 90 Charles II, Fox,
of Rockford, ILL.,, has brought suit in the
circuit court against the estate of George
W. Noble, for an accounting. Fox is a
grandson of William H. Price, who left
this city for California during the gold
fever of lS49, and has never been heard
from since. When Price left, he was the
owner of a planning mill property in this
city, worth about $4,000, which he left
in care of his bro,her-in-law, George w.
Noble, who was to conduct the same in
trust, and pay off the indebtedness. The
complainant alleges that Noble was poor
when he assumed management ofthe bus
mess, and that it was always the belief in
the Price family hat the father was foully
dealt with. Fox gives it as his belief that
his death was caused through aconspiracy
in which Noble Walker and Wheeler were
implicated, and that as a result Noble, by
further conspiracy, managed to secure
possession of all of the Price estate. Noble
died Dec. Is, 1885, leaving an estate of
which William T. Eaton and Gilbert c.
Noble are administrators

A Renuhlican Ranort.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Three docu-
ments in the nature of reports will be pre-
scented to the house by the Pan Electric
telephone committee, but as neither will
be signed by a majority of the committee,
technically speaking, there will be no re
port" before the house for action. The
report drawn up by the chairman will be
signed by himself and Messrs. Oates,
Eden and Hall-all Democrats. Ranney
has secured the signatures of Messrs. Will
lard, Hanback, and Moffat-all Republi-
cans-to his report. while Hale. Demo-
crat, has presented his views in an indi-
vidual report.
Chairman Boyle's report will not be
made public before Thursday. In the
report signed by Republican members, the
testimony is cited to show how the Pan
Electric company was organized and
So, 500, 900 Of its stock given to gentlemen
for the use of their name and reputation.
The opinion of Senator Garland. declaring
that the Rogers patents do not infringe
on the Bell patent, is quoted with a state
ment that it had been gotten because the
Pan Electric could not sell rights without
it, and it was intended to be the induce
ment which led large numbers of persons
to pay in money, part of which was divi-
ded among Garland and his associates.
At the same time the Pan Electric knew
that its instruments di infringe the Bell
prtent.
The report then remarks the sale ofstate
rights to sub contracts and says. 1.-THE
Bell company sued the sub companies
and the Pan Electric company declined to
defend on the ground that it had no
monty. Thereupon they determined to
secure the name of the United States to
bring suit against the Bell company to
Brighten it and drive it to buy peace. So
they obtained permission when they
wanted it, and they wanted it,
without any preliminary examina-
ton worthy of the name without usual
investigation and in defiance of all rules
and practices of the department, and in
direct disregard of decisions made within
a month by its head. Had all the facts
developed before the committee been
known at that time, says the report, the
department Of Justice would have driven
these petitioners FROM its doors, for public
sentiment would have constrained it to do
so.
The report estimates the expense Of the
suit, if tried on its merits, at not less than
5000. 900. Mr.. Hale, of Missouri, makes
a minority report, in which he says that
while he concurs in many of the state.

A LITTLE SUFFERER
CI,ansed, Purified and Beautiied by the
Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this
report Of the cure Of our little grandchild
by your Cuticura Remedies. When SIX
months old his left hand began to swell
and had every appearance OF n large boil.
We poulticed it. but all to no purpose.
About five months after it became a run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. He
then had two of them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure it took less time for them to break
out. A sore came on the chin. beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging a
great deal. This was his condition at %
months old. when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
a little more than a year old, of consump-
ton (scrofula, of c%ourse). He could walk
a little, but could not get up if he fell
| down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene.
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle Of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured. and he was improv-
ed in every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies for a year and a half. One sore
after another healed, a bony matter form
ing in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing, which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; then they
would heal rapidly. One Of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a half bottles he was compile
tely cured, and is now at the age of 6
years a strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain,
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never be able to use
them. All that physicians did for him did
him no good. All who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider it a wonderful cure. If
the above facts are OF any use to you you
are at liberty To use them. Mrs. +. :.
