Will Go Over the Falls again for Money.
Speaking of his recent trip over Niagara
Falls in his barrel boat, Graham says: II
am willing to go over Niagara Falls again
any time if anyone will make it financial
object to me. When was recovering from
the effects of the trip Thought it too terri
bIeto repeat, but I'll risk my life again for
money. William Devere is ready to bet
Sl,0u0 on me, and Constable Horn, who
locked me in the barrel for the late trip. is
willing to stake $500 more on successful
repetition of the trip. feel better o-day
but thought my right side was paralyzed.
But how my wife did go for me for max
ing the trip without telling her. I don't
blame her, but had to do it. 1t was the
ambition of my life."
Graham looks used up, but is able to
limp around. AS to the story that the
whole thing was a fake, he said: II was
not going to have other folks benefit by
my acts and then give me the finger. Fully
100 people, including responsible citizens,
saw it, and if any one doubts it, let them
put up the dust and I'll go over again SO
quick as to make their heads swim"
North Cardinals Eight Cloudbursts Since
May LIST.
Cloudbursts in North Carolina this wear
are proving more disastrous than ever
known before in the history of the state.
So far eight have been reported since
May LIST. The latest occurred in Rich
mond county the other night, and
the town of Rockingham sustained
the heaviest loss. The cloud
burst about half mile above
town, right over Pedee river, and in
stantly the stream was swollen out OF its
banks and went dashing down upon the
town, carrying nearly everything before it.
Several small cabins on the lower bottoms
were washed away, and the occupants were
compelled to flee for their lives. One old
negro was drowned. In places the water
spread out over an area two miles wide.
and many houses were set adoat. Great
damage was done to the Roberdel
Great Falls, Pedee and Midway cotton
mills. Some cotton factories are said to
have been washed completely away, or SO
near it that they are totally ruined. 1t is
feared that many people were drowned.
Roasting Mr.. Scott for the Illino Troubles
The Spring Valley Sentinel publishes an
article on the miners strike, deploring the
outlook and holding Mr.. Scott responsible
for the present situation. 1t says that Mr..
Devlin, who owns'' one seventh of the
capital stock of the company, offered to
take the mines and run them and pay the
company Is cents ton clear of expenses.
This was refused by Mr.. Scott, president
of the company. This is not consistent
with Mr., SCOTS claim that he cannot run
the mines at profit and pay the rates de-
manded by the men. At Braidwood a
settlement is about to be made at S74
