SCHOOL GIRL AfTEMPTs SUICIDE.
She Is With Difficulty Rescued from the
Brink of Niagara Falls

NIAGARA FALLS, n. y, Sept. 13.-A
very strange case of attempted sui
eide occurred here tonight and was
prevented by the police officers on the
state reservation. Ethel Lyman, 10
years old, bright school girl living
here, had, as she stated, some trouble
with her stepmother at noon. and re-
solved upon throwing herself over the
lalls. She wandered over the Goat
Island bridge and from there to Luna
island, where she remained until after
dark. Officer Burch found the girl sit
ting on rock, which projected into
the rapids, not thirty feet from the
brink of the American falls. As the
officer approached the girl saw him and
jumped into the water. 1t was not
deep, but rushed with terrific speed
nearly carrying her off her feet. The
officer made a grasp for her. He
caught her arms as she was making q
headlong plunge into the deep water
and dragged her to the shore, mar
rowly missing death himself. She was
made prisoner mt the station. Since
then she has coolly admitted her deter
mination to kill herself in this manner.

He Meets With Possibly Fatal Acct
dent on Board a Steamer.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. l3.-Kearney Speedily,
the lad who recently dIved from the
Fades bridge, is lying in critical con-
ditlon at MS home on Clark avenue,
near Jefferson. Since his dive Speedy
has been giving exhibitions of swim
ming and diving as an attraction for
summer excursions, and he escaped
without scratch until last night. He
was engaged by Captain Thorwegan, of
the Grand Republic, to perform a div
ing feat from the Grand Republic yes
terday, ana a large crowd was down
the river TO witness the performance.
The boat stopped opposite Carondelet.
Speedily stripped 20 his trunks and seat
ed himself on the edge of the swing
ing plank from which he was to make
his dive. AS the plank was being raised
by the steam derrick and had reached
an almost upright position, Speedily
lost his balance, tottered and fell back
down to the deck. He was carried to q
stateroom, where restoratives were ap-
Piled, but without avail. The boat
reached the city about 9 o'clock, and
the injured boy was driven rapidly TO
his home and is now being carefully
treated. His head is bruised and it Is
feared his spine Is injured.
