WENT FOYER NIAGARA
Two People End Their Troubles
 in the Cataract.
BELIEVED THEY WERE LOVERS
Neither Left Anything By Which They
 Gould Be Identified.

A Philadelphian Risks His Life to Save the WOman--He Caught Hold of Her Garments but She Pulled Away--She Smiled the Current Caught Her and Dashed Her Over Into the Awful Abyss. NIAGARA FALLS, Sep. 11.-A stranger committed suicide by jumping into the river from Luna Island soon after2 p. m. The Rev. c. H. Pridgeon of Cannons- burg Pa., A. M. Ford of Boston and E. c. Palmer of San Francisco were stand ing by the rivers brink, watching the rushing current, when the man ap- preached and accosted them with;
 'It looks as though one could never get out"
 The gentlemen made no reply to this. The stranger gazed into the stream 8 few minutes, when he suddenly cried:
 q am going to try it n'
 He made motion toward the bank. The gentleman attempted to seize him, but before they could reach the spot he had deliberately jumped into the river and was almost immediately carried over the falls. His body has not yet been seen.
 A few minutes later, as score or more of spectators were watching the
 
 richly dressed woman, about 25 years of age, who had been seated on one end of the benches for some time suddenly rose and, walking hurriedly to the wall at Prospect Point, climbed nimbly over and jumped into the river.
 The GU: rent at this point runs as swiftly as an express train. Notwith- standing the peril MT. R. I. Helm of Philadelphia, aged 70, rushed to the wall and jumped into the river at the brink of the fall and endeavored to save the woman. He succeeded in grasping her hand, but she resisted and slipped away from him. She smiled as the current caught her and dashed her over into tn e awful abyss.
 MT. Helm was nearly exhausted and in in great danger. It was only by the eff forts of Policeman McMillan that he was saved from following the suicide over the falls.
 The woman was 8 blonde and richly dressed in black. She, too, was a stranger, and no one knows her name or whither she came. No guests registered l at any of the hotels are missing The theory is advanced that the two suicides had some relation to each other.

EXPERTS STOP WORK.
The Appropriation to Examine the Ke3
 stone Bank Runs Out.

stone Bank Runs Out.
 PHILADELPH!As Sep. 11.-Experts Law renee E. Brown aud Taylor Faunce have stopped work as government agents in examining the books of the defunct Key stone National Bank, made necessary by the exhaustion of the special appropria- tion to pay experts on defunct banks. The suspension was unexpected, as no one dreamed that such a paltry sum as 5000 was the total appropriation for work that might include hundreds of the 5000 national banks in the country. This state of affairs is particularly un- fortunate in the Keystone Banks case, as it will necessarily greatly impede the investigation, although Secret Service Agent Albert Barrett. who is employed on a salary, will continue the work. MT, Faunte to-day said that he and MT. Brown had just reached a place where they saw daylight in the darkness, which has surrounded the mysterious disap- pearances of the money from the bank. Had they continued on the books they had expected to shortly clear up the mystery.
 Messrs. Brown and Faunce will con tinue, however, to work on Bardsley s accounts for the city.
