derers in New York did when they woke

aroused to get ready for his trip over
the Niagara gorge. Graham's barrel is

top, where 1t is twenty-five inches in

maelstrom, was turned over and over,
spun around, and was occasionally buried
in mountains of foam. 1t was carried
past would-be rescuers down into the
DEVILS Rapids, where it was more
roughly treated, being finally sucked in
at the DeviPsHole. The buoyancy of the
cask brought it to the surface and Gra-
ham was picked up in the river at
lewiston five miles from where he
started, more dead than alive.

REMARKABLE CASE.
Victim of Paralysis Fed for Sixteen Months
Through N Quill,

GALENA. ILL.,, Aug. 26.-The case of
Thomas Hull, jr., the fifteen-year-old
son of Thomas Hull, of Vinegar Hill, six
miles back of Galena, is one
of the most remarkable ever re-
ported among those persons who have
been compelled to abstain from food for
long periods. One year ago last April
the boy was taken i'll with spinal men
ingitis. BY careful medical treatment
his life was saved, but he was left par
alytic by the disease. So complete
was the paralysis that even
the tongue was unable to perform
its functions, every voluntary muscle
of his body being paralysed. 1t was
thought at the time he could not live
but short time in such helpless con-
dition, but as the time wears on he
seems to grow but little weaker, and
death is as yet apparently far of. The
strangest feature of the case is that life
should be maintained so long on the
food to which he has been restricted.
The muscles of the tongue and throat
being paralyzed it is impossible for him
to swallow, and every ounce of food he
has received in these sixteen months
has been conveyed to the gullet by
means of quill. In this manner small
allowances of milk, whisky, cruel and
juices of fruits have been administered
to him daily.

DEATH IN THE ELIXIR.
Its Use Hastens the Fate of an Epileptlc
at CircIeviIle.

CIRcLEvILLE, O., Aug. 22.-DeWitt c.
Oliver, well-known young man, died
last night about IL o'clock of blood poi
soning He has suffered for many years
with nervous disease which recently
assumed the form of epilepsy. Being
unable to obtain relief from any known
remedies he submitted to an injection of
the Brown-Sequard elixir with hope OF
being benefited. 1t proved to be the re-
verse. After experiencing some relief for
few hours after the injection, relapsd
set in and he continued to grow worse
until relieved by death last night He
was quite popular young man, and his
case has been watched with more than
usual interest. DR.. VIM. Warner, the
attending physician says his death was
caused by cerebro spinal meningitis, and
not by blood poisoning as reported. He
advised him not to allow the experiment
to be performed on him, but his advice
did not prevail.

terprising cities of the Republic The decora.
tions OF the blue grass palace are artistic and
elaborate. Above point where the eye can
detect the difference, canvas paintings repre-
sent pastures with cattle ranging thereon be-
