The Estimates ms 60 the Age OF the World
Famous Cataract.


The Istin,ate- ns 60 the Age OF the world
Famous Cataract.
Professor J. W. Spencer says the first
conjecture rs 10 the age Of Niagara falls
was made by Andrew Ellicott in 1900
Ellicott believed the falls TO he 90, 006
years old. About lS4l Lyle estimated
tho ago Of the falls Ms 80 600 years. All
81 these early estimates were purely con
lecture. but they were correct in assum-
inR that the gorge lad been oxcayatod
by the river. Professor Spencer, in out
lining the pTcgrcss Of the fails, says
that ittlo stream draining tho Erie
basin once fell about 200 feet above the
brow OF the Niagara csc3rpmcnt. This
.treasl YVES not over fourth the vol
lmo Of the recent cataract and conse-
cucntly c1cavatod the gorge at much
slower rate than ut present
During the early history of the river
the waters Of tho three upper lakes
amp;ied through the Huron basin by
way of the Ottawa river The height of
the falls has increased several times.
fhe FIRST episode, represented by a small
liver falling geo feet, lasted about H.,
300 years. Then the hoight of tho falls
was increased 20 400 foot and took the
drainage tho upptr great lakes. At the
same time thore was series OF cas-
cadas, thrco in all. the lower gaining on
the upper until finally they were all
united in one great cataract much high.
~ thun that Of today.
Subsequently the waters We're raiseG
at the bead of Lake Ontario, and the
falls aprroximated TO the present condi
tiors after a lapse Of 1900 years from
tho end of the FIRST episode. The age ci
the present falls is put et 1000 years
and another 1000 yeers was probably
occupied by transitional changes of y
very gradual character. 1t IL row s, O0G
years since Lake Huron emptied into
Lake Erie for the first time The land
has risen alout the outlet of Lake Erie,
and If the present rate Of change contin
ues in b. 600 or q. 900 yenrs the waters of
the four upper lakes will be turned into
the Mississippi river drainage at Chi
cago. .-pittsburg Dispatch.

Father Demsk is said TO have been
playing with the children when the de
ceased reached for the revolver
1t is said that any curiosity on the part
of the deceased would not have excited
any suspicion, because he was a frequent
and welcome visitor to the house.
DIR. Szlupas says that the revolver was
left upon the shelf as a matter of con
ventence when he should be called out at
night to respond to calls. 1t was an Eng
lish bulldog revOvler of 32 Calibre, OF six
chamh hers, and but one chamber was
loaded. This the doctor asserts positively.
Shortly before the victim died his
daughter, who is about 20 years OF age,
volunteered TO summon Rev. Abromaitis,
pastor OF the st. Georges Lithuanian
Roman Catholic church, but the dying
man protested with an oath and died
without spiritual consolation.
For this reason, it is said the corpse has
been abandoned by the relatives, and
when a reporter called at Dr. Szlupas'
residence yesterday afternoon he was in
formed that DR.. SZlupas would in all
probability be obliged to look after the
burial, as the widow and children had
become offended at the dying declaration
Adrukaitis lived on Bowers street with
his wife and three children, daughter
aged about 20 years, a son about 10 and a
daughter about 13.
There is no question that the statement
of accidental injury can be established by
a reputable and respected lady of town,
but there are other statements attributed
to occupants OF the house which warrant
a full investigation OF the case.
Audrukaitis was a well-known character
in the town, because of his advocacy of
atheism. He had resided here for about
eighteen years and was miner by occupa-
ton. He had been a resident of this
country for many years and before com
ing to Shenandoah lived and worked
in the surrounding patches. 1t is said

Case.
Deputy Coroner Manley and a jury
composed of p. j. Cleary, f. J. Brennan,
Harry Reilly, j. j. Reilly, p. j. Flaherty
and j. II. Manley, held an inquest to-day
in the case of Matthew j. Andrukairi4
and rendered the following verdict
death was caused by the accidental dis
charge of n revolver, while handling it,
at the home of DR. John Szlupas, on
South West street, ShenpuHoah."
The witnesses examined were Mrs j
Ii. Pomeroy, Father Demski, DR. Fctzer
and DR.. Szlupas and the facts elected from
their testimony were substantially as
given in the HERALD'S report of the case.
Numerous reports had become current
that it was not a case of accidental shoot
ing or suicide, but the investigation made
by the Deputy Coroner leaves no room for
doubt that it was accidental.
