Another Young Man Who Tempts Dea
at NIAGARA

Another Young Man Who Tempts Death
at Niagara.
NIAGARA FALLS IN. ", September
youngstown, n. Y, made trip through
falls. Early this morning Campbell took
himself to the secret depths of the bank up
beyond the old Maid of the Mist" land
ing, and remained in hiding there until
about noon About this time he, in COM
pany of some friends, was seen rowing a
boat in the river. Hewas encased in pieces
of cork an inch thick, strapped firmly in
position.
At $50 P NJ. he pulled slowly from the
dock towards the center of the river. He
drifted down with the current far toward
the Canadian side. at 3:26 standing up
right in the boat, he took one of the oars
and padded the craft in the direction he
desired to go, at the same time steadying it
over the heavy swells. he rode in safety,
and as he neared the first breaker of the
rapids he knelt down in the bottom of the
boat. He passed safely through the first
part of the rapids while in kneeling posi-
ton. and, holding fast to the sides of the
craft, huge wave in front of the Battery s
elevator raised him high in its crest and
capszed the boat.
His cork suit buoyed him up nicely. At
1882 P. M. he was seen to enter the whirl-
pool and was carried by fierce current far
out into the maelstrom. By strong swim
ming he soon reached the shore. Campbell
took dog with him in the boat and the
animal shared his experience. He had life
preservers around his body and was also
rescued.

SUCCESSFUL TRIP.
The Baltimore Develops Mere Spec

The Baltimore Develops More Speed
Than Any War Vessel Afioat.
PHILADELPHIA, September 15th.--The
new steel cruiser Baltimore, which left hel
dock and went down the Delaware river as
far as the Delaware breakwater. returned
this afternoon. A broom fastened to he1

were public evidences of the success OBJ.
tanned by the builders of the vessel.
Her commander, Captain Schley, said
the trip was entirely successful and that
the engines were all right and worked adj
mirably. The vessel went eighty or ninety
miles out and is beautiful sailer.
He said You can be perfectly confident
in saying that she is the fastest man of war
| afoat."
Another officer stated that the Baltimore
left last Wednesday and anchored off the
coast, the weather being then too rough
for her trial. On Friday morning a pre-
limiuary trial was had, and on SATURDAY.
she went out for her regular official four
hours trial, under command of Captain
Joseph Steel. All data and indicator cards
were taken every fifteen minutes from
both ends of every cylinder on the ship,
which made for three hours an average of
about 20.2 knots an hour in pretty good
sea.
Many Of the people on board thought
she was making better time, but, allowing
for all errors in calculation, log lines, ETC.,
she is believed to have made 202 knots.
The trial indicates it is said, that she is
the fastest vessel of any ship of her tonnage
ahoat, and the fastest man. Of war of any
country.
The Baltimore ran straight ahead all the
time. There was nothing from the time
she left the dock until her return that
occasioned any stop.
1t is also stated that the Baltimore will
probably go more than 10,0O0-horse power,
and 9,000-horse power was the amount
contracted for. IL will, in case it be true,
give Cramp bonus of at least 1000 horse
power. 1t will be two or three weeks be-
fore the calculations to be made by the
United States officials will be completed
and made public.

of money in the way Of small advances
from the men with whom he had made
contracts.
A newspaper reporter telegraphed to-day
TO Fort Dodge, La TO Mr.. Forepaugh, and

rest him.
The people at the house where Lscey
was stopping were notified and warrant

this afternoon. The news soon spread, and
the Justices Court was quickly tbronged
with large and excited crowd of Lacey's
victims.

worked towns in Pennsylvania and Ohio
before coming to Wheeling.
He has been identified as Harry Ber-
tram, who worked a similar game in Cali.

We got some sail set and then took our

wealthy farmer living near this city, by an

while sharper No. drove the tramp into
