SWEPT OVER NIAGARA
The Cataract Swallows Up Jacko
 Walker and Frank Davy.
TO THE LAST
A ead Ending to q Boating Trip for Pleasure The Boat Got into the Before it Xvns Noticed.

NIAGARA FALLS, June 10. O.-Another frightful accident happened at Niagara Falls yesterday, whereby two men were swept over the great cataract.
 'Jacko" Walker and Frank Davy, two young fellows, residents of the Falls. went boat riding on the river above the inlet of the hydraulic canal.
 While enjoying themselves their boat drlfted down until 1t was caught in the swift current, and before tho men real ized 1t they were in the rapids and all hope of turning back was gone.
 The were rushed on to their death in a shorter space of time than it takes to tell. The boat was over the Horseshoe fall shortly after o'clock, and the bodies of the men are no doubt by this time toss ing about in the whirlpool.
 A man at the Hairpin bridge over the Horseshoe falls saw the boat com ing down with one man inside, and his hands tightly clasped to the sides. The little craft struck a rock at the head of the falls, swung around and made terrible plunge, stern foremost. Pieces of the boat were picked up below the falls.
 The young men were unmarried and worked in the mills. They were game to the last and looked death straight in the face. Walker was about 30 years old and Davy 23. Walker had in his life rescued several ameteur fishermen whose boats had got too near the falls and beyond control.
 ''Pi' Walker, the uncle of "Jacko" Walker, committed suicide ten years ago yesterday by lying down in his boat and going over the American falls.

THE MAVERICK CASE.
10 Causes . Sensation Throughout All
 England.


 LONDON. June 10.-The attempt has boon made unnecessarily to revive the Whitochapel scare over the discovery oi the chopped up remains of woman in the Thames last week. The murder, though horrible one, Is commonplace enough in its cause, which was doubt less desire to hide an unlawful opera tion which had proved fatal. It has for tunately attracted attention and much indignation concerning the criminal practice which Is growing to an alarming extent in England, and though Scotland Yard has thus far shown only its pe- culiar faculty for avoiding discoveries, some good may eventually result from this woman's fate.
 Far more interesting to the public is the murder case in Liverpool which has just resulted in the coroner's jury bring ing verdict against Mrs. Maybrick. This promises to be ono of tho great poi soning cases of England. All the circum- stances tend to develop a tremendous sensation. The fact of the woman being wealthy and well known in society, the wonderful perseverance with which she is alleged to have obtained from fly papers the arsenic which killed her hus- band administering 1t for him in care- fully arranged doses, and the fact, too, that the alleged murderess is an Ameri- can, all supply tho necessary surround ingS for dramatic trial.

IT WAS ONLY A FAKE
An Important Clew in the Cronln
 Case Proves ValueleSS.
Face the Coroner's Jury-The Man Who Hauled the Furniture Away From the House of Crime, Arrested

CHICAGO, Juno 10.-It was reported yesterday that another valuable clue had been obtained in the Cronin murder case in the finding of tho clothes the doctor wore at the time he left his office to go were said to Do in the possession of the police. According to these reports they were found in a pile of garbage-the exact spot the police refused to tell-by an Italian scavenger who gave them to a neighbor, German woman. After washing out the blood stains as best she could, she gave the clothes to her hus- band. This being much better clothing than he was in the habit of wearing 1t ex- cites the suspicion of some of his asso- ciated, who informed the police.
 But. unfortunately, this important find which the police seemed to gloat over, yet guarded so 1ealQusly, turns out to be fake. It has now been ascertained that these gory garments were not Cronin's, but belonged to Albert Herzog. a barber. who committed suicide over his shop, at the corner of Milwaukee avenue and Peoria street. about five weeks ago. A tailor named Henry Borman made the suit for Herzog three years ago, and he identifies 1t.
 But it Is now reported as positive fact that Beggs, senior guardian of Camp No. 06, has been ldentlf1ed as the man who bought the furniture that was found in the Carlson cottage.
 The man who hauled the trunk, furni- ture and carpet from 117 Clark street to the Carlson cottage has also been found
 and Is arrested He Is Hakan Martinsen
 a Swede, who had stand at the corner
 of Chicago avenue and Market street.
 Beggs does not answer the description of the man who hired him, but the police
 are satisfied that they have the right man.
 It has been openly charged that Beggs, as the senior guardian of Camp No. 96, must have given the order for the Gre movar' of Cronin after the latter had been tried and convicted of being British spy. Beggs had been under suspicion for some time and closely watched. He is not yet under arrest, though his steps arc dogged by detectives.
 Chief of Police Hubbard will put Beggs on the stand before the coroner's jury again and his examination will be merci- less and searching. He must tell Clan
 na-Gael secrets or go to jail.

GUSTAV BERGMAN. great disaster Is sure to find an echo here. Tho vast transportation enterprises are of course seriously affected and all of these do much of their business in New York.
 But, though instantly sensitive to the sensational aspects of any case, New York people are quick to regain their equilibrium, and the. first thrill of horror Is always the most intense, and our people will be responsive to the urgent appeals to their charity that come from every quarter, then the story of the floods and disasters of June, 1889. will be rele- gated to history.
 But tho great floods brought one lesson that ought not to be quickly forgotten that hidden dangers turk In localities least suspected sometimes.
 Despite the time Chicago had with An archists New York people have never treated the subject seriously and the course of almost everybody has been to pooh-pooh tho threatening talk of these men who propose to get up big counter monies of the Haymarket monument a few days ago. Just what the New York authorities will have to say on the mat ter remains to be seen. What the Anarch- ists have determined. by way of em- pkasizing that their vitality as a disturb Ing element in society has not been seriously impaired by tho wholesale exc cntion of Anarchist leaders at Chicago, is in fact, to summon comrades from every group of their organization through6ut the country to an imposing Anarchist copgress and revolutionary centennial, to be held in New York July 14, tho anniversary of the stolming of the Bastile at Paris in 1879, that signal ized the outbreak of the great French revolution.

BUNGLING BRIBERY.
Efforts to Win the Votes of Lsgisiat0es
 for a Voting Machine.

LANSING. Mich, June 10.-The gover- nor has directed the prosecuting attor- ney of Ingham county to thoroughly in- vestigate the charges of bribery which have been made against the owners of the Rhine voting machine. There Is no doubt that lobbyists for the company have attempted thc wholesale bribery of legislators, but tn, il methods have been so bunGiing and barcfaced thai the whole matter has become little more than an absurd surlesque upon modern methods of influencing legislation.
 It will never he known how many mem- bers were offered blocks of stock in the concern, but it's questionable value prob ably prevented most of them from swal- lowing the bait. Members of the election committee all admit that they were offered money and stock, the latter in blocks of face value of from $1 ,OO0 to S3,00o to support the bill, and a member of the ways and means committee says he was offered $200 in cash and $3, ,OO0 ill stock. Nearly every newspaper man in him solid for the bill.

Prosecuting Rapidly the Work of Clear-

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa., June 10.-Yes- terday was a quiet day in Williamsport. Many sight-seers from the surrounding towns and country visited the city to view the work of desolation.
 The Prohibitionists in the afternoon held a small meeting in the court house and listened to a lecture on the evils of whisky by F. A. Burdick. The people of this section, however, are throughly con- vinced that too much water Is as great an evil as too much whisky.
 Today the work of cleaning up, disin- fecting, repairing, etc.. was resumed again and prosecuted with vigor. The people here are determined to rise from the ruins and make the city moro pros porous than ever.
