A SUCCESSFUL VOYAGE.
Graham Makes His Fifth Trip
Through whirlpool Rapids of
Niagara River.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, July 15.-About
5000 persons saw Carlisle ID. Graham
make his fifth successful voyage
through the whirlpool rapids in bar
rel Sunday afternoon. The barrel is
of locust wood, oval-shaped, except
that it has fiat head; it is about five
feet long, 10 inches in diameter at the
foot and 20 inches at the head. With
its 100 pounds of ballast it weighs 165
pounds. The start was made from the
old Maid of the Mist landing below
the falls. The barrel was caught in an
eddy and circled about little above
the cantilever bridge for quarter of
an hour. The stronger current in the
middle of the stream finally jerked
it out of the eddy into the foaming
waters of the rapids. Passing under
the second bridge the barrel had a
narrow escape from being dashed to
pieces against the stone abutments of
the bridge. The passage through the
rapids was swift. 1t took the barrel
five minutes to reach the eddy from
the starting point and 20 minutes to
get out of it, but it took only 3H min
utes to pass through the rapids and
the whirlpool, distance of about a
mile. At no time during the passage
through the rapids was the barrel lost
sight of. 1t was taken from the water
after it had circled about in the whirl-
pool for few minutes. Graham wa
slightly bruised about the elbows and
knees, but he was otherwise unhurt.

Columbus, O., July 1.-THE demo-
cratic state convention convened here
Wednesday under peculiar circum-
stances. All the more conservative
elements had combined in the prelim-
inaries against the friends of Mayor

was not maintained.
The johnson men won on their ia
vorite views on state matters and the
others on national issues.
There is no reaffirmation of the
Kansas City or any other platform.
There is no mention of previous plat.
forms or of Bryan.
The platform says that the democrats
OF Ohio reaffirn their belief in the equal
ity OF taxation and other public burdens:
their advocacy OF the equal rights of all
people. with special privileges to none:
their hostility to monopolization- of in
dustry with Its tendency on the one hand
to crush out individual enterprise, and
on the other to promote sociailstic spirit
among the people as the only refuge from
oppression: and their faith In that theory
and practice of constitutional government
which brought the nation into existence
and have preserved 1t to the present gen.

ties the platform says. should be radical
ly reformed. and the democratic party
therefore calls upon the people to unite
with 1t In placing the conduct of mu-
nicipal AFFAIRS upon a business basis, that
they may be administered by the people

principle of home rule. No franchise. ex-

lition of protection and the rigid enforce
ment Of anti-monopoly law are dealt
with at length. merchant marine Is ia

missionaries and their pupils and the

land officers to identify him. These
cards will be numbered. At each land

IS IN BAD SHAPE.
The True Condition of the Endow-
ment Rank, X. p, n Shock to
All Its Members.

Chicago, July 10.-A half million of
unpaid death claims and 1888 with
which to pay them. This was the
plight in which the Endowment Rank,
Knights of Pythias, found itself on July
1. There were half million of Sin
vestments," to be sure, but hardly any
of it was productive, and much of it
meant outlay, not income. Members
Of the organization, one of the largest
Of it's kind in the country, were aghast
at the revelations showing that.
though $500, 900 of insurance was
carried. the cash was only $135.33.
Startling charges of reckless finan-
ciering, juggling Of accounts, and mis-
appropriation Of funds were made by
the report of the board of control to
a special meeting of the supreme
lodge of the order called to consider
this crisis in its affairs. Ever since
the Illinois and Connecticut insurance
departments began an examination of
the condition of the rank it has been
known that it's financial affairs were
in bad condition. Not until Tuesday,
however, was the seriousness of the
charges appreciated. The men most
seriously implicated by the report,
which is verified and supported by the
examinations of the insurance de-
partments, are Mr.. Hinsey, former
president of the board of control; II.
ID. Stolte, its secretary, and w. ID. Ken
nedy, an employe of the board and ed
itor of a Pythian paper.
Chicago, July 12.-The supreme
lodge, Knights of Pythias, in session
at the Lexington hotel, voted Thurs
day to wipe out the 100000 deficit in
the funds of the endowment rank by
increasing the death benefit rate an
average of about A per cent. The
supreme lodge decided that to in
crease the death benefit rate was the
only way in which to meet the big
deficit. The new scale was adopted
with only four dissenting votes out
of 1872 members present and voting.
