HURLED IN
A SEWER
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A
MAN SWEPT INTO THE
EAST RIVER.

New York, March 14.-Ejward
Boyle. plumbers helper, is the hero
of trip through the sewers of New
York which rivals in interest and
danger the wanderings of Victor
Hugo's Jean Vatican through the
labyrinth by which the streets OF
Paris are drained.
For three-quarters of mile he was
swept helpless through the dark by
"a rush OF water running like mill
race. Overhead the rattle and roar
of the busy street went on.
At last he was thrswn,s dazed and
bewilderea, from the mouth Of the
sewer, into the East river Men on a
seow moored near by hauled him out
and brought him to laAd again. kUr
a time he could not speak. for the
shock of his terrible experience had
unstrung his nerves. Then, while the
little crowd that mad gathered absuk
him still were asking whore he had
come from, he found his tongue and
asked ror a smoke"
Hall an hour later he had refused
the assistance of the ambulance sur
geon and had started on mis- way
home, seemingly none the worse for
his strange adventure
Boyle is employed by plumber
who has the contract for lseeping in
order the sewer which runs through
East bifty-third street and empties
into the East river There has
been some trouble vita drains at No.
252 and Boyle was sent With two 9TH
er men, to remove the distractions,
Immediately opposite the house is a
manhole of the main sewer, and the
men decided to start tkabir examinar
tod there AssadeF wa3 lowered info
the sewer and Boyle, with a guide
rope dangling ready to his hand, went
down first. He had almost reached
tae bottom when rung broke and ne
lost his balance. He screamed as he
grabbed at the rope and his compan-
ions bent over in time to see him
miss 1t and disappear with a splash.
Boyle said the water wss rushing
through the sewer at terrific speed
1t Was three or four feet de@p. He
could feel the bottom, out could not
keep on his feet. The Fffty-tnlrd
street sewer runs into the main drain
at Second avenue. There the volume
of water and filth was greatly in
creased and Boyle narrowly escaped
drowning. He was hurled about but
managed to keep his mead above wa
ter, and after few moments more,
which he says seemd like hours, he
saw the light at the end of the drain.
He was hurled headforemost into tne
river and struck out for scow which
lay near by Except for the severe
shock Boyle appeared none the worse
for his journey.

Too Many :,achelors L.iv,nr.

The last census showed that there
were in the whole country 5.427.767
bachelors against 3,224.494 spinsters.
an excess OF 6S per cent Of bachelors
over the unmarried women. There
was not any state in the Union that did
not have more bachelors than single
women, even Massachusetts, exhibiting
a small fractional overplus of unat-
tached males of marriageable age.
To account for this situation Of at
fairs 1t was explained that. the mass Of
each state being paired of by mar
riage evenly as between the sexes. only
a relatively small fraction of single
persons old enough to marry was left
over. In most states the male part OF
this fraction was much in excess of the
female part And 1t must also be re-
membered that women marry much
younger than men.
