1t is on record that upon chilly
April day, a few years ago. an eight
year old-boy fell into the East river at
the foot Of East Eighth street, New
York, and when all efforts to rescue him
had failed, Edward Donnelly, at risk OF
his own life, plunged into the water and,
when himself nearly exhausted, saved
the boy from drowning. It was a
humane and self-sacrifcing deed, and
received deserved commentator in all
the newspapers.
There is a sequel to this accident,
however, which thus far has not been
published. 1t is to the effect that Don
nelly was paralyZed as q result of the
cold plunge and came near dying. Au-
burn people have known the family
since his wife was Amanda Grammar
and his sister Mrs. S. d. Cory, OF
81 Moravia street. Donnelly himself
describes the rescue and the result
