CROSSED THE WHIRLPOOL.
A Foolish Risk of Life at Niagara
Falls.

BUFFALO, July livery few of the
thousands of persons who visited
Niagara Falls to-day had any idea that
another adventurous man would at
tempt to swim the whirlpool rapids, in
which Capt. Webb lost his life. For
some time past G. d. Graham has been
making preparations for the attempt,
but few persons really believed that his
courage would hold out long enough
for him to make it. Such, however,
was not the case, and about l O'Clock
this afternoon Graham started on his
perilous voyage, which he successfully
accomplished. Graham had told q re-
porter ali about his plans, and stated
that he would carry them out at the
time he did, but requested that the
time be not given in publishing the ar
ticle for fear that the authorities would
prevent him in his purpose. Accord
ilngly very few were among the specta-
tors.
Graham kept the cask, in which he
intended to make his trip, in a saloon
in this city. About II O'Clock last
night he loaded it on wagon, and ac-
companied by several friends, started
for the falls. They arrived there about
o'clock this morning and unloaded
the cask alta point on the American side
of the river below the falls and about
800 rods above the Cantilever bridge.
A policeman arrested him on suspicion
of being Tonawanda horse thief, but
his Buffalo friends secured his release on
bail. Aa@

got into the barrel and closed the man
hole at the top. At this point of the
river the current is very slight. A
small boat towed the cask out into the
river. to o point where the current
would catch it, and Graham was started
on what might have turned out to be
his trip to eternity.
The towing process took only O few
minutes and then the stream caught
the. cask and started it towards the
whirlpool.
At first it moved slowly down,
THEN FASTER AND FASTER
until the mad current dashed it on with
it's full force. The cask bounded up
and down over the great waves and sew
eral times turned complete somersault,
but the wider portion remained upper
most although it turned round like q
top. The cask kept pretty well in the
center of the river until it reached the
whirlpool when it struck a strong side
current and was carried swiftly through,
reaching the waters beyond in safety.
From here the journey was compara-
lively quiet. The cask was picked up
at Lewiston, about five miles below the
starting point, and Graham crawled
out of the barrel, with only slight
bruise on his arm.
He remarked: "When I struck the
eddys it was one continued round of
jerks, but l am not hurt Bit"
Graham is a native of Philadelphia,
thirty-three years old, and cooper by
trade. He is poor man, and did this
thing for glory.

On last Thursday, while wagon was being
loaded in front of Saur's drug store, with
oils, paints, varnishes, wall paper, ETC., the
team became frightened, and if it had ran
away the wagon might have upset, the wo-
man would have had her left leg broken Just
below the knee, the youngest child killed,
and the man barely escaped with his life,
having two or three broken ribs, fractured
collar bone, dislocation of the backbone,
fracture of the skull, besides many other cuts
and bruises of serious nature, any of which
would no doubt have proved fatal had it not
happened where it was SO convenient and
handy to those celebrated remedies sold at
Saur's drug and medicine depot, a few ap-
plications of which soon not only relieved the
man of his pain, but actually cured him so
that he was better man than ever before.

years, months and 16 days.
The night of darkness which has enshroud-
ed the life of the deceased since 1876, at
which time he became totally blind, was
endured with quiet submission. His patience
and cheerfulness daily, through years of in
tense pain and suffering caused bya compl-
cation of diseases, gave to those who cared for
him abundant evidence that death was for
him only release from pain, and an en-
trance into peace. 'Iife's ftful fever o'er, he

Ohio's Leading College.

The Ohio Wesleyan University of Della
ware, O., ranks among the first colleges in
the United States, not only in point of the
high character of the education impaired,
but also for the large number of students in
attendance. The Rev. G. H. Payne, D. D. has
been for many years the successful President
of this college, and will be very much pleased
to answer any inquiries in reference to the
college on application. One notable feature
of this institution is the fact that term can
be had here at a very nominal sum, the
necessary expenses being only $50 or even
less.

The outlook is for very hot summer. The
cool waves" of June were the result of the
great power of the sun in polar regions,
melting vast masses of ice and snow, and
thus cooling the winds of the North. There
is wide drouth area on the great plain of
the Wsst, and the great heat all over the
Northwest, with the steadiness with which
low air pressure is maintained in that section,
give promise not only of hot summer, but
of a prolongation of the summer heat far
into September. The conditions are much
like those which prevailed in 1881 which will
be remembered as year of drouth and pro-
longed hot weather.-Er.
