IN A BARREL.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE IRIBuNE.l


Niagara Falls July 14.-In the presence OF
thousands OF people. Carlisle d. Graham this
afternoon made a successful trip through the
Whirlpool Rapids in barrel Of his own con-
structfon 1t was the same barrel used by him
In a trip through the rapids in 1880. This was
his fifth trip through the gorge by the water
route
His barrel was placed in the water this morn
ing at a spot known as the old Maid of the Mist
landing AT 3:25 o'clock Graham said goodby
TO those about and crouched down in the barrel.

manhoie few minutes after a small boat had
the barre, in tow. and Graham had started on
his voyage.
After being cast adrift it was his Ill luck 10
get caught in the current of an eddy. around
where he hoated for nearly half an hour, and 1T
was close to O'Clock when the barrel swung
out of the eddy and went rushing through the
rapids TO the whirlpool In three minutes he
reached the pool. and was carried right over to
the Canadian shore. where men caught the bar
rel and pulled 1t ashore.
Graham almost suffocatsd 10y the heat of
the barrel The day very warm and he
had been In the barrel twice the time he ex-
pected to be. When his strength regained
he aided to the top of the bank
1t is understood that to-day was his last bar
rel trip. and that he viii go through within a
month In different manner. The trip Of to-
day was. in q sense. preliminary TO the coming
trip. about what Graham prefers 10 wrap a
little mystery. fearing that some of the Pan
American freaks may roh him OF his ideas.

FOG BOTHERS STEAMBOATS,.
GIVES RISE TO MANY UNCONFIRMED
RUMORS OF DISASTER-PASSEN-
GERS PUT ASHORE.

AS the steamship Julia, Captain Rhodes, was
sailing from Canarsie to Rockaway in the fog
last night she grounded according to dispatches
from Canarsie upon the mud flats five miles off
barren Island This gave rise to various alarm
ing rumors. one of which was that the Julia
had been in collision with the General Slocum
and that the Slocum had sunk with all on board
This proved to be wholly untrue, as there had
been no collision and the Slocum landed her
passengers in safety
All night there were rumors from time to time
that there had been accidents to one another
of the excursion boats but after midnight all
the larger boats had been reported as having
reached their piers on their last trip for the
night.
The heavy fog settled down over the Bay and
the Sound at o'clock p. m. making naviga-
ton dangerous task A number of excursion
boats were caught in it. and anchored where
they were rather than court the possibility Of
collision running ashore. Among those re-
ported to be anchored off City Island the
Matteawan. of the Starin Line. and the boat Of
the line which left New-York for Glen
Island at O'Clock.
The Sam Sloan left Glen Island at 9 O'clock
but after poking her nose into the fog for half
an hour turned around and went back, tying
up at the lower pier. The captain at first re-
fused to allow the passengers to land, but when
an hour had elapsed they importuned him to
such good purpose that they were allowed to
go ashore. They numbered over fourteen hun
dred persons. Less than half of these took the
ferry to New-Rochelle and boarded the extra
cars which were put OH by the Union Railway
The others crossed later to New Rochelle and
took the 915 o'clock train for this city.

At the sound of the gong Mrs. Dun

Display of Fireworks and SsArchIights.
The scene was a brilliant one as the
Constitution was slowly lowered into
the water, the cheering from the boats
outside being loud and vigorous, while
the searchlight from the steam yacht
Colonia, just outside the dock, illum-
mated the stern of the Constitution.
Rockets and other fireworks added not
Il little to the gaiety of the occasion.
As the stern of the craft emerged from
the shop the private signals of the
members of the syndicate were dis
played on small fiagstaffs upon her
deck. AS the vessel reached the water
the flash of the Searchlight grew more
intense. and greater became the dis
play of rockets and Roman candles.

Patriotism and politeness are great
virtues. and n Japanese physician, DR..
Aoyama, owes his life to the fact that
he possessed them both in high degree.
He had caught the plague and was
dying for the need of the food which,
In his delirium. he refused to take.
His nurse was in despair, but finally,
conceived the idea of playing upon his
patriotism by filling glass with liquid
nourishment and then Offering to drink
to the health of the mikado.
This was repeated until, ardent
patriot as he was, the doctor felt that
he had honored his sovereign enough.
Then his politeness was appealed to,
the nurse proposing a toast and re-
preaching the sick man for not joining
in it. In this way the patients strength
was maintained until the delirium SUBJ
sided and he became convalescent.-
