C4RRIED OVER MAG ARA.
Two Men Lose Control of Their BOnt-
One Lost, the Other Saved.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Jan. 20-John
Wiser and John Marsh of this city, at
tempted to cross Niagara river above
the Falls to-day. They lost control of
their boat and were carried into the
rapids Wiser, who was unable to swim,
was swept over the Falls and drowned.
Marsh, after a desperate struggle in the
icy water, was rescued by persons along
the shore.
The men were almost half way across
the river when the boat was caught in
the field of ice. They fought ciesperate-
ly to extricate their frail craft, but
without success. AS they passed the
power house both men got out of the
boat onto the floating ice. The boat
passed on through the rapids and over
the Falls. The two men tloated down
the river. Marsh was two hundred feet
from the shore and Wiser was at least
twenty feet further away. At Willow
Island several men formed line and
with the aid of long pole succeeded in
getting near enough to Marsh to rescue
him. Wiser clung to the ice until he
was tossed off in the tumbling waters
and drifted over the brink.

FEDERAL EXPRESS RUN INTO.
4 he Worcester Accom- IN odntion Train
Crashes Into Ii Mt Pawtucket.


Pawtucket, R. l., Jan. 20.--The Fed
eral express, east-bound on the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road, due in Providence at $3.50 a. M,
but which did not arrive until 1903 a.
m., while standing at the station was
run into from the rear by the Worcester
accommodation train in charge of Con-
ductor Andrew Clarke and Engineer
Fred Abbott.
The engine of the Worcester train and
the vestibuled end of the rear sleeper
of the express We're damaged, but none
of the passengers or train hands was
seriously hurt. In the forward end Of
the sleeper one passenger, Boston
lady, was asleep in her berth, and she
as well as the passengers on the Wor-
cester train were badly shaken up. The
Worcester train was run back to Provi-
dence, where new one was made up,
the passengers meanwhile remaining in
PaWtucket. The damaged sleeper was
uncoupled from the balance Of the ex-
press train, which proceeded after con-
siderable delay.
Engineer Abbott attributes the acci-
dent to a slippery rail He says he
was coming into the station at the
usual speed when he saw that the sig
nails were against him. He at once ap-
piled the air brakes but, although the
brakes worked perfectly. the slippery
rails caused the wheels to slip and the
accident happened before the train
could be stopped.

CAMPBELL BREAKING DOWN
BEGINS TO SHOW UNMISTAKABLE
SIGNS OF COLLAPSE.

He and Death Would Have Broken
Down Long Ago but for McAlister--
| Sentence to bc Passed dTo-tlay-Time Of
Kerr's TriaI-It Ia said Campbell and
Death VIII Testify for Him.
New York, Jan. 2O.-Andrew Camp
bell, one of the murderers of Jennie
Bosschieter, is slowly breaking down in
the county jail at Paterson, his face
showing unmistakable signs of collapse
since the verdict of the jury was deliv-
cred adjudging him guilty of murder in
the second degree with McAlister and
Death. Campbell's face has thinned out
within the last few days, and he Is suf-
fering great disappointment at not be-
ing set at liberty. There had been some
sympathy for the boyish-looking MUIR
derer, but the evidence pointed him out
TO be as guilty as the others, although
not the ringleader of the crime.
1t is said by those close to him that
he would have broken down long ago
Campbell and Death encouraged by tell
ing them that they would escape with
very light sentence. Campbell from the
first thought the jury would let him out
with a lighter degree of crime than any
of the others, and he was much excited
when he heard the result of the jury's
deliberations. The court convenes again
tomorrow, when the men will be SEN
fenced.
While people at Paterson generally
think the men are lucky to escape with
their necks, the prisoners can't see it
that way and pretend to say that never
did they entertain the slightest idea Of
being convicted of murder in the first
degree.
1t is thought that the trial of George |
J. Kerr for his participation in the
events preceding the death of Jennie
Bosschieter will begin a week from to-
Prosecutor Emley has asked
for little rest after the strain of the
trial of McAlster, Death and Camp
bell, and Justice Dixon has granted this
and has assigned the coming week for
the trial of civil causes. 1t is said that |
Campbell and Death will go on the wit |
ness stand and testify in behalf of Kerr,
provided the state of their health will |
permit.

NEWTON, MASS, HOTEL AFIRE.
Rear Section of the HunneveII Gutted-
Heavy Losses to Gue.ts.

Newton, Mass, Jan 20.-The Hume
well, a fashionable family hotel, locat-
ed on Washington street, was visited
by fire at noon to-day and the damage
in four hours was quite extensive. The
blaze started from an overheated fur
mace in the basement and gutted the
entire rear section from ground to roof.
The main part on the front was drench-
ed with water, which quickly froze. The
guests on realizing that the fire was =
bad one, made a wild scramble to save
personal goods. Some succeeded, but
the greater number lost or had dam
aged their entire effects. The total
losses on the building will foot up s12,-
900, falling upon Mrs. S. D. Babcock,
of Syracuse, N. Y, the owner. The
losses to guests, who number fifty, are
heavy in the aggregate.

HOWE & STETSON.
DIED no SAVE COMPANION.
A Young Scotch Boy Drowned in tho
Connecticut.

Portland, Conn, Jan. 2O.-James Nc
Glennon, Scotch boy sixteen years Of
age, was drowned in the Connecticut
river here this afternoon under circum-
stances that were particularly harrow
ing. The boy, in company with his ten
year-old cousin, John McGetrix, was
skating on the river at o'clock. The
younger Of the boys ventured too near
a treacherous spot and broke through.
McGlennon undertook to rescue his
cousin, and he, too, broke through. The
older boy worked frantically to save his
companion and finally managed to push
him onto firmer ice. He then tried to
pull himself out, but the ice continued
to break, and, finally exhausted, he
dropped back and down, and was
drowned. The McGetrix boy is in q Sc
rious condition from the shock, and he,
too, may die. Efforts to locate the body
of McGlennon under the ice were at
once made. At dusk, however, they
had proved fruitless.

| Yet Oh Beer Tax
Washington, Jan. 20.--The Senate
committee on finance was in session the
greater part of to-day making an effort
! to complete consideration of the wal
revenue reduction bill in order to be
able to present it's report tomorrow.
1t did not succeed, but the work was
so nearly completed that it is believed
one or two more meetings will suffice
for that purpose There are still many
items of the bill which have not been
finally passed upon, but all of them
have been so completely canvassed that
there will not be great difficulty in
reaching a conclusion.
The committee is still Withholding Of
fetal announcement of its proceedings
from the public, but some facts con-
cerning it's conclusions are known 1t
is not probable that there will be very
much greater total reduction than was
made by the bill as it passed the House,
but the reduction will be differently dis
tributed. The most important conclu-
sion reached is to reduce from twelve to
nine cents the tax on tobacco. There Is
also to be reduction Of the tax on ci-
gars and snuff. The House left all those
items untouched. The Senate commit
tees decision as to those articles will
reduce the revenue receipts about $780,
0o0, 00O
This reduction will be made up by
declining to accept all the House re-
ductions. Consequently many Of the
articles from which the House took off
all the tax will be given half the former
rate by the Senate committee. It is
probable that on proprietary articles
the formula Of which Is public, the
tax will be entirely removed, while upon
those, the formula of which is secret,
it will be retained entirely. The tax
on steamship tickets will be reduced.
The tax on steerage tickets may be re-
moved entirely. The tax on stock
transfers probably will be continued on
the par value of the shares as at pres
ent, but this matter has not been def
nitely passed upon. The members of
the committee express the opinion that
to place the tax upon the selling value
of stocks would be an invitation to
fraud. The beer tax has been discussed
at considerable length, but no absolute
decision has been reached. The present
tendency is to leaves the rate as fixed
by the House. The tax on kilograms
also remains undecided. Some Of the
members of the committee have made
A n effort RI have the law amended So a &
to reduce the tax to a half cent per
message but to make the telegraph
pay it. This proposition has
not been accepted in It's entirely, but
the reduction seems probable The
form Of the bill will be altered material

Hamilton, O., Jan. 20,--Marcus Sauer,

in vigor and the acute symptoms of his
dropsical affliction are disappearing.
DR.. Krummler, the attending physician,
does not claim the salt treatment has
anything to do with the Improvement

doubt that it tided over a crisis in the
mans ailment. There is every prospect
