OVER NIAGARA FALLS.
CARLISLE GRAHHM'S ADVENTUROUS TRn
IN A BARREL.
HIS FIFTY MINUTES EXPERIENCE WITH Tm
wATER--ovER THE CATARACT N A
sEMI-UNCoNsUoUs STATE.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSEl

Niagara Falls, N Y, Sept. 1.-When Carlisle
Graham found that neither the village nor the
railroads would put up any money TO have MN
go over the Horseshoe Falls in barrel he an
nounced that he would go over in the presence OK
only enough friends to assist him in his Trip
Early this morning the barrel used in his trip
through the Whirlpool Rapids last Sunday was
taken over to tie Canada side and up the river
a mile or mere above the falls. The inside OF tho
barrel had been heavily padded and straps put
in so that the occupant could secure himself.
The barrel was towed out into the river, and AZ
GAS a. m the manhoe was closed down and the
barrel was let go. In addition to the fastening
ON the inside crossbars were laid over the top
of the manhole cover and fastened with spring
locks.
The course taken was similar to the trip OF an
empty barrel two weeks ago, near the Canadian
shore At 710 the barrel was seen to pass over
the falls about 200 feet from shore.
For a moment it was out OF sishh
Then it appeared few feet from the falis
and hoated out into one of the strong eddles.
Elmer Jones. an expert swimmer was watch
ing and as the craft swung around toward the
shore he plunged in and, catching one OF the
long ropes attached to the barrel, brought 1t IN
TO the rocks. At :35 the cover was taken OIL
and Graham lifted out in a somewhat exhausted
condition.
AS soon as he was sufficiently recovered ne was
taken to his hotel where he still remains In bed.
In describing his trip he says the whirlpool
Rapids are nothing compared with this. Going
over the many lodges, which look so small from
the shore, is like dropping fro'n mountain.
He thinks lie was partially unconscious when ne
went over the brink All he could realize was
the going down and down. There seemed to be
no Jar. But the first thing realized, said he,
!" was something striking the barrel and calling
had not the strength to undo the fastening on the
inside and so l called out: For Gods sake, break
the barrel to pieces and get out as soon as you
can | have had all OF Niagara want. and X
onv one wants TO 60 over the falls, they are
welcome to TO- ! do not think ever want TO
hear their roar again. Why, their noise IS some
thing terrible / do not know what shall do
next. but l shall 60 over the falls again.
