TO RACE rAeouaH rag RAPIDS.


4 Earring Contest Arrange i TO Occur at
Niagara FalIs.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June 26.-One
of the most daring feats scheduled for
this ummer will be a race through the
whirlpool rapids in the lower gorge of
the Niagara. Charles a. Percy of Sus-
pension Bridge, and Robert w. Flack of
Syracuse, have signed articles of agree
ment to race through the rapids from the
Maid of the Mist landing clear to Lew
iston, AT the mouth of the river, life
boats to be used for the trip. This in
cludes the whirlpool rapids, the mael-
strom, the lower whirlpool or Devils
rapids, the DEVILS hole and other dan
gerous stretches OF water. Percy and
Flack agreed to wager 5000 each on the
result and put up a forfeit of 500 apiece.
The date will be fixed for about Aug. l..
In this race Flack is to use a boat called
the Phantom, and Percy will ride in the
queerly constructed craft in which he
once went through the lower rapids.
The Phantom was built from Flack's
own designs, and is Is feet long, has
Az feet beam and is 226 feet deep. 1t is
pointed at both ends, has no air cham
bers, but has peculiar cushions, which
Flack claims are lighter and mora buoy
ant than cork, and will help the
boat to sustain a load of three tons.
Flack refuses to say what he puts in
his cushions, because he intends to secure
u patent. The boat is of white pine aud
lined with white oak. The top is COW
cred with one-half inch pine and can
vas. In this top there is an opening 81
feet long by 81 feet wide. Five pas
sengers can be accommodated under the
deck. A keel PKG inches runs the length
of the craft, and this is strengthened by
a wrought iron strip five-eighths of an
inch thick running the whole length
and projecting at the stern, 50 as to pro-
tect the wheel and fora a stay for the
rudder

uarrison's Admirers.

INDIANAPOLIS, june 26,-The news OF
the nomination Of Gen. Harrison was re-
ceived here with the most intense EN-
thusiasm. AS soon as the result at Chi
cago was announced from the bulletin
boards displayed az the telegraph offices,
a rush was made for Mr.. Harrison's office
by excited citizens of ali classes and con
ditions, and the rooms and the streets in
the vicinity were quickly filed with q
yelling and cheering mass of humanity.
The General was forced to show himself
at the windows several times, and when
finally he determined to retire to his res
idence to escape the present attentions of
his admirers it required considerable
strategy to prevent the crowd from I'M
hitching the horses of his carriage. All
afternoon and until late at night the
streets have been filed with a perfect
mob OF people, who have manifested
their delight by blowing horns and cheer
ing, beating drums and making as much
noise as possible. About 200 men came
in from Dahville in the afternoon and
proceeded to Gen. Harrison's residence,
where he made a brief speech, thanking
them and his friends for their support
and loyalty, but made no reference to
politics. Later in the evening 5000 citi-
zens, preceded by a brass band, marched
to the Generals house and listened to a
short, neighborly address. Hundreds of
kilograms of congratulations from all
parts Of the country have been received
by Gen. Harrison.

FELL FROM A CHURCH sPlRE.
Terrible Fate of a Telegraph Lineman
Who Assembled u Church Spire.

Terrible Fate of a Telegraph Lineman
VIII Assembled u Church Spire.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 26.-People in
the vicinity of Washington Market saw
a tragedy that they will not soon forget.
The chimes on st. MichaeI's Roman
Catholic church had just ceased ringing,
when some of the folks in Washington
street saw a ma climbing the tall steeple
of the church. The crowd increased as
the man slowly pulled himself toward
the top by. means of the lightning rod.
1t seemed every moment to the special
ors rs if the climber would fall, but
he went hand over hand to the
apex. When he reached the foot
of the cross the>lightning rod gave way.
The man made a futile effort to throw
his arms around the spire, but it was too
large, and then he fell headlong to the
roof of the body of the church, a distance
of 100 feet. His reck was broken and his
brains dashed out. The victim of tue
tragedy was Chas. Sullivan, a telegraph
lineman. He had peer drinking some
during the day and made a bet with nc,
quaintances as to the heighth of the
spire and as to his ability to climb it.

THE BOY MURDERER.
The Jackson County Youthful Fiend
Brought to the PeniteRtiary.

John McAllister, the Jackson
county patricide, was brought to the
penitentiary this morning by Sheriff
Birdseye. He stands convicted of
murder in the first degree and is
sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
He is a mere boy, being but sixteen
years of age.
The crime for which he is paying
the penalty was a most heinous one.
Early one morning while his father
was yet sleeping, the boy entered
the fathers sleeping room up stairs,
placed a revolver of large calibre to
his head and fired. Death was in
slant.
The boy seems not to feel the
weight that hangs over him, and is
gay and free.
Sheriff Ross of Clatsop county
also arrived from Astoria to-day with
two prisoners-Thomas Potland and
and Charles Jones. They are each
sent up for larceny, the former for
one year and the latter for two.
