NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. Sept. IT,
Walter G.. Campbell went through the
whirlpool rapids in boat to-day and
was unhurt. The boat upset but he
was padded with cotton and covered
with life preservers and got through
all right and was picked up on the
Canadian side. A dog that he had
with him dressed in the same way
went through with him.
At 3:2O O'Clock the signal for the
start was given. Campbell rowed
steadily toward the center of the river
until he had reached the Canadian
current. In a few minutes the frail
skiff reached water SO rough that he
could not use his oars. Then he stood
erect in the boat as it tossed in the
swift moving current instead of jump
ing out. Just as the boat struck the
big rocks at the commencement of the
whirlpool rapids he crouched,down and
chung to the sides of the skiH with q
look of terror and despair as the big
waves dashed over him. The cork
coated dog shivered in the bottom of
the skiff.
Opposite Butterey's ELEVATOR, at the
spot where Webb and Flack lost their
lives, the boat shot into the air and
both man and dog were thrown violent
IL out aud were not seen for several
rods owing to the foam. When he APP
peared again he struck out madly try
ing to swim. No time was kept, but
Campbell went through as quickly as
others have-about four minutes.
In the whirlpool the skif came out
first by several rods, then the dog and
lastly Campbell. He seemed dazed
and swan without apparent object,
but soon drifted near enough shore to
be rescued. The dog was also pulled
out alive. Campbell was quickly sur
rounded by his cronies and filed by
their whisky TASKS SO fast that he
! could give no very ineligible story of
his trip, except to say that it was
worse than he expected and he would
not do it again for anything.

A certain justice of the peace near
Brunswick had call recently from a
colored man with the request that he
come down and marry him. The justice,
remembering his past experience, told
the fellow that he would consent to g
ON condition that he be paid $3.50, and
that amount In cash. Assent was given
and the officer of the law set out, lam
tern In hand, and covered with an um-
breIla (for it was pouring down rain).
Arriving at the spot, he called out the
couple and forthwith sstied the knot.
When all was over the groom stepped
up to the Justice and informed him that
he would sscaI and settle. This did not
please the majesty of the law, and he1t
once called the couple back TO unite the
knot. This was too much for the bride
and groom A few minutes converse
ton ensued. The bride retired and soon
returned with the cash.-Alacon Tele-

County Clerk Wolff owns little black
and tan dog that has habit of visiting
his master daily at 4 o'clock p. m. One
day during the recent rains hard
shower set in just about 4 o'clock, and
the clerk and his deputy were specu1at-
ing as to whether the dog would make
his usual visit, when he was heard rush
ing up stairs. He reached the Office
dripping wet, two minutes late, which
fact he seemed to feel After the adj
journment of the county commissioners
last Wednesday, and before the board
left the room, the clerk was busy writ
ing up the minutes of the meeting, when
he heard the well known footsteps of
his visitor. Without raising his eyes
from the minute book. George remarked
that i was 4 o'clock. There being no
clock in the room and the clerk not hav-
ing referred to his watch, those present
asked what made him think so, when he
replied that his dog was coming.
Watches were drawn, and although
some of them varied minute or two,
that of the clerk pointed to precisely
o'clock. Another popularity of the dog,
and one his master greatly appreciates,
is that he is never at home at meal times,
preferring TO take the same with neigh
bors.-Fernandina Mirror.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia brutal prize
fight occurred at the saloon of the DAILY
Bros. local bruisers OF considerable
note last night, which has resulted in
the death of one of the participants.
Thomas E. Jackson. aged IS years, is
the victim. He fought Ed. Ahearn,
local light weight champion, eleven
bloody rounds, and at the opening of
the twelfth, fell fainting in his sec
ond' s arms. The fight was one of the
most desperate battles ever witnessed
in ring. Science being lost sight of
and give and take smuggling marking
the fight throughout. Blood was
brought in the first round, more of it
in the second and by the time half a
dozen rounds had been fought the men
and their seconds were covered with
blood as was the saw dust on the floor
of the ring while the water with which
the fighters were sponged was as red
as blood itself. When jackson fell IN
conscious in his seconds arms he Wigs
carried to room above the Daly's sa-
loon and three physicians called in.
They worked vigorously but without
avail and at IL O'Clock this morning
Jackson died. The affair has created
intense excitement as prominent peo-
pie will likely become involved. The
referee was the sporting editor of a
leading morning paper. The specta-
tors were principally pool alley sports
who made up a purse of $50, for which
the men, OF rather boys, contested.
Two ounce hard gloves were used. The
dead gladiator's body now lies in a
room over the saloon where he fought,
his face unacceptable. and his moth

dead, while Chief of police Huebler has

CLEVELAND, Sept. I8.-The Isteam
yacht, Leo, left the port OF Lorraine,

LAWYER, Captain Sam Roat, Fred Pei

whose name is unknown. Nearly all
of them were prominent aid well
known business men of Lorraine. The
excursionists were met a short dis
tance east of Rocky river by Mr.. Dan
p. Feels yacht. Winnifred, about
o'clock in the evening. Capt. Williams
of the Winnifred says he saluted them
and received an answer with cheers
from the party. The weather was
moderate then. Afterwards tho wind
shifted to the northwest, and it is
thought that with this unfortunate
change the Lorraine people lost their
lives. Nothing was heard of the yacht
until this morning, when the bodies of
Ritter and LAWYER were found by the
life-saving crew, floating in the lake.
The remainder of the bodies are being
searched for.

could not be mistaken, and that he
would take an oath that the man was
Lecaron. There has been some talk Of
