Death OF Dr. J. IL. Hanson, Principal OF
the C0burn Classical Institute at W ater-
Vile.

WATERvILLE, July 10.
DR.. J. II. Hanson, principal of the Coburn
Classical Institute. died at Waterville Friday
evening. He was about IS years old. His
death was unexpected. Hundreds of his for
mer pupils as well as many educators in
New England will hear with deep regret OF
the somewhat sudden decease of Prof. J. IL.
Hanson, LID, who has been SO many years
AT the head of Coburn Classical Institute in
Watervile, Me. DR.. Hanson was veteran
in educational service, having spent his whole
life in teaching and editing text books. He
was master of the Portland High School be-
fore going to Waterville, in whick place he
has been for more than twenty years. DR..
Hanson is an example of those who literally
wear themselves out in burning zeal for their
profession. Never was there more dilligent
worker. Year after year his days of teaching
have been followed by nights of labor in pre-
pairing his text books, until the heavy strain
has been too much for even a constitution of
iron. Unusual duties crowded upon him
during the past term of the Institute, and he
bore them without murmur TO the end. No
pupil of DR.. Hanson's can evF forget his
CONTAGIOUS earnestness in the class room. As
a Christian, a teacher and good citizen, DR..
Hanson will long bo remembered and la

THRILLING WITH LIFE.
c. ID. Graham Goes Through the Whirl.
pool Rapids at Niagara in Cask-He
Gees Through Safely-A Wonderful
Experience.


BUFFALO, July IL.
c. d. Graham passed safely through the
whirlpool rapids At Niagara Falls in cask
this afternoon. He is q native of Philadel-
phia, 33 years old and . copper by trade.
Having conceived the idea of making the TOOL
hardy voyage in attempting which Capt.
Webb, swimmer, lost his life, he construc cted
. barrel for the purpose. 1t was of inch and
quarter oak slaves and shaped like a buoy,
being wide at the top and narrow at the bot
tom. Sand ballast was fixed to keep the side
of the cask which Graham faced uppermost
Graham hung or rather stood in q sort of
hammock made like a suit of clothes, and
held on to the iron handles fixed at the sides.
He calculated that he could live halt an hour
without fresh air, and by that time he ex-
pected to be safely through the rapids. when
he could pull out the plug and get new
supply.
About 4 o'clock Graham crawled into his
barrel and closed the manhole at the top
from within. The boat then towed the cask
out from the shore at point on the American
shore below the falls and about 800 rods
above the Cantilever bridge. The swift cur
rent caught it and carried it along, moving it
faster and faster until it dashed on with full
force. The cssk bounded up and down over
the great waves and several times turned a
complete somersault, but generally the wider
portion remained uppermost. although it
twisted around like top. The cask kept
pretty well in the center of the river till it
reached the Whirlpool when it struck the
strong side current and was CARED swiftly
through, reaching the quieter waters bevond.
From here the journey was comparatively
easy. The cask hosted on towards Lewiston
right side up and all danger was passed. II
was picked up at Lewiston, about five miles
below the starting point, and Graham came
out of the barrel uninjured with the excep
ton of slight bruise on one arm which he
received when passing through the whirlpool.
He remarked, "When struck the eddies it
was a continued round of jolts, but am not
hurt bit"
Graham receives no compensation for his
wild sail but the 'alory" of the thing Few
people knew when he was to make the at
tempt and consequently he did not have many
spectators.
The cask is feet long, SO inches in dame
ter at the widest portion, 23 inches at the top
and Is inches at the bottom, bound with iron
hoops which weigh $50 pounds. The ballast
weighs 240 pounds. Graham will probably
repeat the trip. He says he will yet 90 over

CONGRESSIONAL LABORS.
Business That is Likely to Come Before
Congress This Week.
WASHINGTON. July II

WAshlNSTON. July IL.
Tomorrow is District Day" in the House.
The committee on the District of Columbia
has number of local measures for action,
but it is probable that it may yield sufficient
time to allow the consideration of the forti-
fication appropriation bill, the only approp-
ration bill that has not yet been passed by
the House.
Under Saturdays order Morrison's surplus
resolution will be called up Tuesday.
The action of the appropriations commit
tee on the Senate amendments to the legisla-
tive bill is awaiting consideration by the
House and the subject is likely to be taken
up about the middle of the week.
The bill for new naval establishment will
be called up for action if opportunity offers
towards the end of the week. If it should
remain few hours after disposal of the
above mentioned measures several commit
tee stand ready to call up bills for which
special orders have been made, including the
Pacific railroad funding bill, interstate COM
merce bill and land grant forfeiture bill
The river and harbor bill remain the same
as the beginning of last week, the unfinished
business of the Senate. Senator Mcmillan,
who has it in charge, hopes it will be passed
tomorrow, but no attempt will be made to
cut short the debate upon it. He admits the
possibility that the Mississippi river feature
(not yet reached), may keep the measure be-
fore the Senate two or three days longer.
There is an understanding that the naval
appropriation bill and the oleomargarine bill
shall follow the river and harbor bill, and
these are likely to consume the week.
The sundry civil bill will probably be re-
ported to the Senate Monday or Tuesday, bu,
will hardly be called up till next week
The executive calendar has sixty or seventy
'unobjected" cases and nearly dozen which
are reported adversely. 1t is proposed 70 de-
vote an early day to the latter, but the day
has not yet been fixed.

BATE, July 10.
Mrs. James Rookie, about 35 years old, a
farmers wife of Bath, is under arrest. charged
with putting Paris green into spring of
water on the land of Mrs. James Hill Be-
tween the parties there has been trouble of
loIg standing regarding the right of way
over Mrs. Rockies pond The respondent
was arraigned before Judge Milay, Satur.
dav morning, and pleaded not guilty. In the
testimony it appears that she has threatened
to put Paris green in the water. A sample
taken from the spring exhibited unmistakable
case was adjourned TO afternoon.
The family whom it is alleged the poison
was intended tor is that of Mrs Mary J. Hill,
a most respected colored lady of North Bath.
During the reading of the complaint before
Judge Millay, the defendant, Mrs. Anna
Rookie, was much affected and wept copiously
The plaintiff testified that the spring was
used by her family. and also by the raftsmen
on the river and the public generally. She
was just drawing a pail of water when a
neighbor called her attention to the substance
floating on the top. 1t appeared by the testi-
mony that two men drank from the water
alleged to be poisoned. one of them being Mr..
Rookie.
Several witnesses testified to threats of
Mrs. Rookie to kill Mrs. Hills sons or to
poison the spring if Mrs Hill did not allow
her to get water from it; also to hearing Mrs.
Rookie say. since the discovery of the poison,
that she hoped whoever put it in put in
enough TO kill the whole family.
Mr.. and Mrs Rookie were notified by the
Judge of the importance of the case, but they
decided they did not need any counsel, and
she conducted the cross-examination.

CAPTURED FISHING VESSELS.
The Manner in Which the Seized Port.
land Vessels May be Released.

HALIFAX, N. s., July 10.
United States Consul General Phelan this
afternoon deposited with Customs Collector
Ross S400, the amount of fine imposed on the
seized Portland schooner City Point at Shel
burne, in order to obtain the release of that
vessel. Upon receipt of the money, Collector
Ross telegrsphed an order to the customs
officers at Shelburne to release the schooner,
as the fine been paid, but Collector Atwood
has replied that he would liberate the vessel
on payment of the expenses as well, which
amount to about S42. The Canadian
government agreed to allow the release
of ell three vessels upon the sum of S400
for each being deposited with the col
lector of customs at Halifax. which sum, in
the event of the illegality of the seizures
being established would be restored.
Upon this understanding, Consul Phelan,
acting under directions of the owners of the
City Point, deposited the required amount,
but paid nothing to cover the expenses, and
the telegraphic advices from the customs de-
partment at Ottawa did not refer in any man
ner to the expenses incurred. Mr. Phelan IL
now awaiting instructions from the owners OF
the c. B. Harrington and Geo. w. Gushing
before pursuing the same action in their
cases.
Capt. Keene of the City Point has tele-
graphed to her owners from Shelburne for
orders respecting the claim for expenses.
The Gushing and Harrington remain in
charge of guard placed on board by the
customs authorities. All three vessels were
to have been stripped today. but this wa. de
iayed in expectation that the fines would be
paid. Collector Atwood states that unless
the amount of the other two fines is deposited
by Monday the Gushing and Harrington will
then be stripped.
