SWEPT OVER THE FALLS.

In Unknown Woman Commits Suicide by +
Throwing Herself Into the Nlagars
River Above the Great Cataract.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Sept. 6-Early Wis
tors to the reservation Thursday morning
Witnessed sight they will always renen-
yer with horror. A tall, slim woman, ap-
,arenty about q years of age, dressed in
dark suit and wearing black hat with a
mall red feather, was seen strolling around
he park AS she passed out of the lower
rate toward Goat island she was asked by
lackman IL she wished carriage, to which
the replied In the negative. Stepping over
low railing she walked over to the waters
sdge few feet distant and about midway
between the point and Goat island bridge.
After standing there moment she threw
ler parasol as far as she could, and min
1te later threw herself sideways off the
oank into the rapids which run swiftly at
;his point She did not utter word, but the
screams Of those who witnessed the act
caused a rush Of several hundred people
who were In the vicinity to the river side,
where they could see the woman as She
ioated on to certain death Although
she was but few feet from shore
and hundred pairs OF hands were
Eager to help, the people could
only stand and gaze in horror at the sight.
J. McCloy, who runs the cars on the in
cline, and who had rescued several people,
was among the first to reach the point and
stood on the parapet wall as the woman
passed over the brink, unable In this case
to render any assistance.
He says the woman foated head first, her
hat, which came off as she passed over the
tirst reef, preceding her for few feet.
Her hands were over her breast and
seemed to be working in the water,
but she was making no effort to assist
herself. AS she passed over the brink
alb ut twenty-five feet from the wall she
threw up her hands, raised her head,
and went over w ithout cry. Nc
Cloy is confident that she was alive
and conscious when she passed out of
sight. A little way down she seemed to
come out of the water as if the body had
struck on = shelf and bounded outward,
only to drop back again into the falling
water and pass out OF sight The crowd,
eager to get a glimpse of the body, crowd
ed the edge SO that the park police were
obliged to force them back.
The steamer Maid OF the Mist was Just
leaving the American dock for the trip up to
the Horseshoe falls when Mccoy, standing on
the wall, signaled the captain, who under
| stood that some one had gone over the
falls Steaming up in front of the American
falls he shut off steam. In few moments
an empty dress sleeve foated past, and a
moment later body-so doubled up that
| only the back could be seen-appeared in
the swift water short distance from the
foot of the falls. where it could not be
reached. As it tloated out into the still
water it quickly sank out of sight.

NEGROES IN THE NORTHWEST.
Preparations Being Msd0 for nm Exodus
a q Colored People from the South Mon
tanR and WASHINGTON Their MECCA.

Preparations BEING Made for an Exodus
q Colored People from the South Mon
tana and Washington Their Mecca.
MILWAUKEE,, Sept There are strong
indications that plans have been laid for
another great exodus OF colored men from
the South, and the significant feature lies
In the fact that tho new States of Mon
tana and Washington are the objective
points of these migrating hordes OF the
house Of Ham. The man who figures az
the head Of the movement is Rev T. w.
Henderson, pastor Of Quinn Chapel in Chi
cago, and he is peculiarly fitted for the po-
sition, as he took leading part in the
great exodus of Mississippi negroes to Kan
sas In 1872 Rev. Mr., Henderson was seen
Friday and said: w. t@
''This movement has been quietly worked
for q long time and will be continued
in that way until we have settled Nor.
tana and Washington Territory from end 10
end with refugees. Plantation negroes are
no better off now than they were before the
war. When they hire ont it is for the year
and they contract to buy all their supplies
from the masters stores, so that when they
make final settlement they always come out
IN debt. So their condition is really no better
than that OF the Mexican peons who slave for.
ever as creditors OF their employers The move
ment is thoroughly organized and on such
o solid basis that no one In the South will real
lie how the colored folks have escaped until
all are gone who wish to go. We
have better underground railroad now
than existed in the days Of old John
Brown. It was who originated and conducted,
under Governor st. John, the great exodus
OF my people from the State of Mississippi TO
Kansas in 1872. At that time I was editor OF
two newspapers in Kansas. We got over 60, OoO
colored people to move to that State, gave
most OF them mule, and sold them forty acres
OF land each on five and ten years tme It
was great success. Many of them are now
rich; all GRE wcll-to.do''
Work will be begun at once toward organic
ing the parties Of Southern negroes who may
desire to leave the South and settle in the
Northwestern States. Rev. Mr.. Henderson is
sanguine that thousands and thousands OF
south ern negroes will gladly take advantage
OF the opportunity offered to escape 'irom
bondage,' as he puts it, and predicts that all
who settle in the new land will thrive and
prosper He refuses, however, to 20 into de-.
tails rs TO how these negroes, who do not pos.
sess dollar, are going to travel several thou.
SAND miles, but says that every things ar.
ranged satisfactorily.

to order His mouth was his strong fea-
ture, the lips being always tightly COM
pressed; that day they were compressed so
tightly as to be painful to look at.
At the time he weighed 200 pounds, and
there was no surplus flesh about him. He
was tremendously muscled, and the fame
of his great strength was everywhere. His
large tent, when wrapped up with the
poles, was so heavy that it required two
men to place it in the camp wagon. Wash
ington would lift it with one hand and
throw it in the wagon as easily as if it
were a pair of saddle-bags. He could hold
musket with one hand and shoot with
precision, as easily as other men did with
horse-pistol. His lungs were his weak
point and his voice was never strong.
He was at that time in the prime of life.
His hair was chestnut brown, his cheeks
were prominent, and his head was not
large in contrast to every other part of his
body, which seemed large and bony at all
points. His finger joints and wrists were
so large as to be genuine cItriosities. AS to

How Washington Looked.

His nose was very red that day, giving
me the impression that he was not SO mod
crate in the use of liquors as he was sup
posed to be. | found afterwards that this
was a popularity. His nose was apt to
turn scarlet in cold wind. He was stand
ing near small camp fire, evidently lost
in thought and making no effort to keep
warm. He seemed six feet and a half in
height, was as erect as an Indian, and did
not for moment relax from a military at
titude.
Washington's exact height was six feet
two inches in his boots. He was then a
little lame from striking his knee against
tree. His eye was so gray that it looked
almost white, and he had a troubled look
On his colorless face. He had piece OF
wooden tied around his throat and was
quite hoarse. Perhaps the throat trouble
from which he finally died had its origin
about then.

were No. IS. His ordinary walking shoes
were No. II. His hands were large III

Worth says he once supplied the Empress
Eugene with several fancy costumes One
was that of Juno, and another the splendid
dress Of dogaressa, or wife of the doge OF
Venice For this last named toilet she caused
to be fashioned the necklace in diamond net
work, with a great imitation pear shaped pearl
suspended in each interstice of the network,
which was sold among the crown jewels, and
the fact of the pearls not being real created a
good deal of talk at the time of the sale. She
never wore this authentic and picturesque,
but cumbersome, ornament. She tried it on
several times, but it always marred the effect
of her costume. 1t was sold for $4,000, q
price far beyond its intrinsic value.-New
