this city are not slow. 1t remains, of
course, for Chief Supervisor Dennison to
decide as to which of the two lists he
will appoint. If he should decide
in favor of the Hill list, it will be sore
black eye for Judge Herrick and the

Desperate Struggle Between Two Painters
Beneath a CantiIever Bridge-The
Weaker Finally Escaped by Climbing
Hand Over Hand to the Bridge Above
If Death Does Not Claim Him, He Is
Likely To Be Maniac for Life.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, October B.
A terrific struggle took place Saturday
afternoon among painters employed on
the cantilever bridge, about dusk, un-
seen by those on land, but described by
the few witnesses of it, as blood curd-
ling.
A gang of painters had been employed
by the Grand Trunk authorities to re-
paint the cables, guys and stays. They
were all Canadians. They swung scat
folds at intervals beneath the bridge,
and were working on these perilous foot
holds about 200 feet above the rapids.
One of the men was French Canadian
from Montreal, named Joseph Greaves.
His companion on the same scaffold was
William Camel. While working they en-
gagged in an alteration, in which Camel
lost his temper, grasped a hatchet and
threatened to brain Greaves.i Their loud
talk attracted the attention of other
workmen, but nobody could Interfere.
Then ensued a dramatic duel such as
novelists imagine between rivals for
woman's hand.
Greaves grasped Camel by the wrist
to stay his hand, but Camel was the
stronger and threatened to throw the
other into the seething waters of the
river. He pushed him to the edge,
when Greaves released his hold on his
assailant to save himself from falling,
whereupon Camel struck him three
times with the hatchet All three blows
were aimed at the head, but Greaves
writhed and lodged and was struck
twice on the shoulder and once behind
the left ear. The last blow staggered
him, and he fell and would have dropped
into the river had he not been caught
between two braces.
Greaves, with the blood streaming from
his cuts, climbed hand over hand to the
bridge floor. Camel followed, hatchet
in hand. to complete the murder, but was
intercepted by the other workmen. Ca
MEL when overpowered, hissed: "The
next time I catch you | will kill you"
The wounded man was carried to the
Canadian shore, where his wounds were
dressed. 1t was then discovered that an
artery had been cut, and for long time
the surgeons were unable to stanch the
hemorrhage. 1t is doubtful whether
Greaves will live. If he should survive
the shock it is believed that he will be q
maniac for life.
Camel escaped while others were at
tending the victim. Canadian officers
were sent after him, bnt all they could
learn was that he had been seen on a
Michigan Central freight train. 1t is
supposed that he came to Buffalo and
will try to escape through the States.
officers on both sides of the river are
warned to keep lookout for him. He
is thus described: twenty-five years of
age; weight, 225 pounds; 5 feet s inches
in height; sandy moustache and hair;
dressed in slouch hat and brown clothes
bedaubed with paint. He may try to
ship by boat. Greaves is sailor.

I was in the house of Rubinstein the great. As his fingers wandered over the ivory keys, sat lost in admiration. His touch was as firm, yet delicate, as it was when heard ill America years ago. It was beyond description. To hear him was the event of lifetime. First he played a sonata of Beethoven and then one of his most lovely barcarolles. It was in the twilight. A servant had come in some time before and lighted two candles. So sitting there in the dimly lit room was drawn the characteristic figure of Rubinstein, like silhouette against the white walls of his room. He sat thus and played for quarter of an hour. Not sound disturbed him. He was lost in his own music. had quite forgotten him, so absorbed was and it was not until the wizard of tIle piano forte arose and came over to me, that | relized how great the treat I had enjoy ISt Petersburg letter.
