NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June 22.-[Special
Telegram to The BEE. About the last of
this month Carlisle d. Graham, the hero of
several trips through the whirlpool rapids,
will go over the horse shoe falls which rush
over 200 foot precipice, with what little
protection his new barrel boat can afford
The barrel boat is designed for a life boat
AID its inventor says it is entirely different,
except in name, from the craft in which he
went through the whirlpool and devils rap
Ids. 1t is II feet long, 40 inches in diameter,
looks little like torpedo with break
amidshp, and has side wheels, steering APP
paratus and other appliances of small fly
ing machine for aquatic use. The craft is
cylindrical in shape and has three compart-
ments, each of which is water tight. The
center compartment is 43 inches long and 40
inches in diameter Two persons could be
squeezed into it on pinch, but to work the
side-wheels and steering apparatus satisfac.
torily there is hardly more than room for one
person. Each of the other two compart-
ments will easily carry two persons. The
craft is strongly built of wel.-seasoned oak
and cedar stave, and is bound with twenty
four iron bands. In still water it would be
as good as any ordinary boat, except for lack
of deck space 1t can be propelled by the
side-wheels from the inside, and the ina
chlnery is so arranged that it is reversible.
The boat is sufficiently strong to Withstand
the ordinary shocks of rough voyage, but
it is extremely doubtful il it can escape
being dashed to pieces either on the rocks at
the foot of the falls or elsewhere in the
gorge.

about thirty buildings destroyed, involving a

families moved their effects away from the

town going. The losses mostly fall upon

A He1nOus Outrage i'm New Milford.
 NEW MILFORD, May 20.-The hearing the csse of Frank Nearing, charged with outrage upon his sister in-law, before Judge Levy this morning resulted in the accused being bound over in $5, 900 bail to the Superior court in July. In default of bail he was committed to Litchfeld jail.
 The story as to the attempted lynching of Nearing is untrue. There was some talk among the excited villagers of summary ven- gence upon the offender, but no attack was made upon the jail as was reported by tele- graph throughout the country yesterday. Mrs Nearing is the wife of wealthy resident of Lanesvills in New Affords outskirts. After shopping in New Milford Saturday and while at the depot to take the train for Lsnesville, her brother-in-law, 22 years old, drove up and telling her that he was going to drive to Lanesville said he would drive her to her house. When a mile away from town he drove into lonely road and made improper advances to her, and seizing an op- portunity she sprang from the carriage. But young Nearing was not to be foiled. Inn mediately he sprang after her, letting the horse go galloping nadly away. In spring ing from the carriage Mrs. Nearing fell, slightly spraining her ankle, and before she could rise young Nearing sprang upon her and literally tore her dress into shreds. He left his sister in-law lying by the road and fled into the woods.
 Mrs. Nearing, more dead than alive, drag- ged herself toward the house of the farmer, but had not proceeded far when she was met by the farmer and his hired man, who had been alarmed by the team galloping madly past the house. The farmer and his hired man assisted Mrs. Nearing to his house, when he at once started for New Milford and noti- fed the authorities. An armed force of officers was at once dispatched to search for young Nearing, and at Il o'clock Saturday night he was captured hidden in ths interior of the woods. He was immediately lodged in the New Milford jail.
