ANOTHER NIAGARA CRANK.
Woman Goes Over Canadian Falls
and Escapes With Her Life.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Oct. .M.-Min-
ME Edison Taylor. 80 years old, went
over Niagara Falls on the Canadian
side this afternoon, and survived, a
feat never before accomplished, and
never attempted, except in the COM
mission of suicide. She made the
trip in a barrel. Not only did she
survive, but she escaped without a
broken bone, her only apparent inju-
ries being scalp wound one and one
half inches long, a slight conclusion
of the brain, some shock to her ner-
vous sytem, and bruises about the
body. She was conscious when taken
out of the barrel. The doctors in at
tendance upon her tonight said that
though she was somewhat hysterical.
her condition is not at all serious, and
that she probably will. be out of bed
within few days.
Mrs. Taylor's trip covered mile ride
through the Canadian rapids before
she reached the brink of the preci-
pices. Her barrel was twirled and
toppled and bufeted through these
waters, but escaped serious contact
with rocks. As it passed through the
smoother, swifter waters that rushed
over into the abyss, it rode in an al
most perpendicular position with its
upper half out Of the water. Over the
brink it rode at an angle of about As
degrees .on the outer surface of the
deluge and descended to the white
foaming waters, 158 feet below.
True to her calculations the. anvil
fastened to the bottom of the barrel
kept it foot downward, and so it land
ed. The ride through the rapids occu-
pied 19 minutes. The barrel could not
be seen as it struck the water below,
because of the spray, but in less than
half minute after it passed over the
brink, it was seen on the surface Of
the scum-coyered water below the falls.
It was carried swiftly down to the
Maid of the Midst landing, caught in
an eddy, and held there until it
foated so close to the shore that it
was reached by means of pole and
hook and drawn in upon the rocks.
Ten minutes later the woman was
lifted from the barrel, ard half an
hour later she lay on a cot at her
boarding place on First street in Nj
agara Falls on the American side.
She thanked God she was alive,
thanked all who had helped her in any
way, said she would never Go it again,
but she was not sorry she had done
it., if it would help her financial
ly."
She said she had prayed all during
the trip, except during few moments
of unconscfeusness just after her de-
scent.
The barrel in which Mrs. Taylor
made the journey is four and half feet
high and about three feet in diam

inside protect her body. Air was Sc
cured through rubber tube connect
ed with a small opening near the top

FOR MURDER.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 2l.-Henry
Mcdonald Sedley, of New York, a
Sheffield Scientific School freshman,
was arrested this morning, charged
with the murder of Edward Corrigan,
of Willimantic, Conn.,, but this even
ing, Coroner Mix, after a prolonged
hearing, ordered the charge changed
to breach of peace, and Sedley was
released on a $1,000 bond. Corrlgan
died at the New Haven Hospital about
2 o'clock this morning from injuries
which he received about 2 O'Clock Sun
day morning.
According to the story told in sup
port of the charge, Corrigan and 9th
er young men we're enjoying them
selves in a lunch wagon, when Sedley
became exasperated at something that
Corrigan said and pushed him away.
Corrigan bumped against the jamb of
the doorway and then fell almost head
long down the wooden stairs, landing
on the pavement and striking his head
with full force. His skull was frac-
tured and he lay unconscious.

CATCHING TAX DODGERS.
Twenty Chicago Corporations to
be Placed on the Tax Books.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-The su-
preme court this morning affirmed the
Judgment of the circuit court of Saga
mon county in what is known as the
Chicago teachers tax case. This, in
effect, awards writ of mandamus
against the State board Of equalization
to compel it to assess the capital stock
including franchises of 20 Chicago
corporations, the fair cash value Of
whose capital stock, including fran
chises, over and above the value of
their tangible property is alleged to
aggregate S235, 600, 600.
This case was instituted by the
States attorney of Sagamon county at
the instance of the teachers fedora
tion. It was for writ of mandamus
to compel the State board of equaliza-
tion to assess the foregoing corpora
tions which, it was alleged, have hith-
erto escaped taxation by the board.
The court holds that the board in as
sessing corporations does not act as a
board of review but as an original as
SCISSOR and that the performance of It's
duty to assess the fair cash value of
capital stock including franchises over
and above the value of tangible prop
erty may be enforced by mandamus.
Instead of making a proper assess
ment, the court says that the board
arbitrarily and wilfully failed to fol-
low a proper and long established rule
in force in this State for making such
assessments, the bonded Indebtedness
of said corporations. They disregard
ed also all other rules for the making
of such assessments in force at the
time of the fling of this petition and
for the purpose of evading their duty,
sought to pass new rules for their gov
eminent in making said valuations
and assessments and refused to con-
slider information then before them,
furnished by the assessors, as provided
by statute and assessed the capital
stock and franchises of said corpora
tions at normal sum instead of at the
fair cash value thereof.
The board is ordered to convene
forthwith at Springfield and assess the
capital stock including the franchises
in the manner provided by law.

Philippine War News.

Manila, Oct. 23.-Nothing has been
heard from the Island of Samar for
three days owing to typhoon having
blown down the telegraph lines, ex-
cepting one cable messenger and mail
advices. Admiral Rogers has received
report by gunboat. He has notified
the troops at the ports to be on their
guard, owing to surprise and massacre
of the company of the Ninth regiment
at Balangiag. At Pambujan, Island
of Samar, all cf the buildings in the
vicinity Of the barracks were imme-
diately razed.
Gen. Smith, on his arrival at Cal
bayog, Island of Samar sent reen-
forcements to Weyler. They found the
garrison of that place, numbering 10
men, besieged by over a hundred bolo-
men.
The United States transport Sumner
leaves here tonight with $50 men Of

The cruiser New York was delayed

but she left Manila last night with $50
marines under Maj. Waller.
There are 800 troops in the Island
Of Sanar
Gen. Chaffee does not anticipate any
further disasters. He considers that
there is no cause for alarm. The gar
risons, he says, have been increased
and every precaution has been taken to
prevent another surprise like the one
at Balangiga, which was unfortunate
for two reasons, firstly, the loss of the
men and. secondly, the effects which
it Will have on other parts of the
archipelago. The general, however,
believes this will only be temporary.
It is known that agitators have been
endeavoring to inhame many commu-
mites, by giving glowing accounts of
the currences in Samar.
The central Filipino committee has
issued proclamation confirming Nal
var as the successor cf Aguinaldo.
Copies of the document have been
