WOMAN LEAPS
 INTO RIVE+ Spectacular S'Llde At Niagars A'alls. HUSBAND JUMPED AFTER HER Struggled Desperately to Save Her
 But Death Won. Rescuer. ea Bank Had Hard Time i'm Trying to Rescue the Man
 woman's Body was
 Recovered.

Niagara Falls, N. r.. June s.-Louis Cohen of Buffalo saw his young wife leap into the swfrling river between Second and Third Sisters Islands, at 5 o'clock this afternoon, only 15o feet above the brink of the cataract. With out a moments hesitation, he followed her. caught her hand and struggled desperately to save her.
 Mrs Cohen probably died in her hus- bands arms. Before 1t was possible to bring efficient help. an hour had passed. during all of which Cohen was making frantic attempts to reach the shore. But the struggle against the current--at this point it is about twen- ty miles an hour-was beyond his power.
 Fortune aided him. With his wife tightly chased to him. he felt himself bump into tree stump. and on this he got grip with his one free hand. Ee Justify shouted for help and word was carried to the reservation police, but it was nearly an hour after Mrs. Cohen jumped into the river that Officer James Martin arrived with Represen- tative James s. Simonds and three other men, carrying ropes. Three times they threw the rope before 1t fell within Cohen's grasp. When he did catch 1t. he was too weak to tie 1t about his own or his wife's waist. The two were twenty feet away from shore, and 1t was extremely difficult. owing to the precarious nature of the footing to make a good cast.
 Pinned against the tree stump by the terrific rush of water, all or his strength gone, and he had been unable to keep his wires face above water. once, Cohen had hold of the rope, the men on shore began to pull. and Ohicer Martin, who was fin the front. slipped and fell into the stream, but quickly reRained his feet. When within hf- teen feet of the shore. Cohen lost his grip on his wifes body. and 1t was carried off down stream and was lost Co view.
 Cohen was so far gone when his res- cuers got him on shore that ne coulo not speak for ten minutes ktla hrss
 asne IS out there. Go and get her. she is dead; she died In nsy arms"
 Meanwhile crowd had gathered. su- Derfntendent Perry and Chief Shoe bridge skirted the Goat Isiend shore, looking for the body. but could see nothing of 1t. Cohen joined them, all ways Insisting that the body must have stopped short of the cataract and might be rescued by men daring enough.
 William Barnet and Hugh Brown. who joined the searchers, finally spied the body just before 2 o'clock. It was held fast by rock about loo feet above the brink. Without ropes. Brown and Barnet wHeed into the stream and moving carefully over the slippery rocks. reached the body. Juat as Brown touched the body. the current caught 1t again and 1t whtried around an eddy. It was with the greatest difficulty that thet men brought the body to land Life was extinct.
 Cohen says that worry over the fact that she was unable to suckle ner m liant depressed his wife greatly and nrobably caused her desire for death.
 He. A robust man, quickly recovered ..-- .ha shonk of his experienco.

 GIVES WAY Seventy-five People Arc Thrown Into Lake. SIX LOSE THEIR LIVES Four Women and Two Children
 Are Drowned. An Excursion Steamer Made Fasteu- iaR to Steady its Course and

 Heroic Rescues.
SIX LOSE THEIR LIVES

New Orleans. June s.--Four women and two children were drowned and 1t Is thought that others may have been lost. when the excursion steamer Margaret made fastening to steady It's course at Vaudeville. La. on the north coast of Lake 9oncaar.rain. twenty-five miles from New Orleans tonight.
 The wharf gave way and about sev- enty-five people were thrown into the lake. Many heroic rescues were made.
 The known dead:
 Miss Lizzie Lortz.
 Miss Mamie Gottefn. Miss Catherine Gottein.
 Miss Laura Ray.
 An infant child named Chapln.
 All of the dead resided in New Or leans.
 Late tonight no more bodies had been found and 1t is believed that the death list will not exceed i've.
 The Margaret had brought to Vaudeville today more than the usua number of passengers.
 For some reason the boat landing had been changed to wharf which had not been used for some months Scores of people crowded upon tho landing upon the approach of the Mar garet and it was only when the yes sel drew a few feet alongside tha' the crash came.
 Men. women and children went In to the water and 1t looked for time as If scores would be drowned. The nearness to the shore and the fact that outside help was near, however was responsible for the great majority of those thrown into the lake beinR rescued.
 Many thrilling escapes were made due to acts of heroism from those or shore nearby, who were not affected by the sliding in of the wharf.
