B. with the competi tion it has, must have prudent and wise management to j obtain a lair abate of freights. A fair comparison then would be to compare the in creased earnings of Col. Whitford s block of four over the former block of four with Mr. Bryan's block, Mr. Dill ia very careful to give twice in this statement ilr.

Whit ford's' block, which was broken into by Beet's administration and the road turned Over to him in a dilapidated condition amounted to $420,956 31 showing again of $74, 975 94. Mr. Bryan's block, beginning when the road had baen much im proved and during the: period of which he has spent over one hundred thou sand dollars abovej the earnings, amounted to $47 1,94?. 48. a gain over Col.

I' : At 7:10 o'clock I Sunday morning' just as the rising sun gilded the great Horseshoe (ialls, Carlisle D. Graham, the cooper, shot ! over the brink, tightly cated in hia barrel- ooat, and twenty nve mm mea later was picked tip in Baes Rock eddy at the foot, stunned but hot much hurt. This venture was witnessed by not less than fifty spectators. Tbe friends of Graham had become discouraged by the frequent and dispiriting fail ures that had marked his early efforts Barrel after barrel : had 1 been sent, over, only to be knocked in pieces by the weight of the water ; at the. falls or the huge rocks in the upper rapids, and many had completely lost faith in the venture and urged him to give itlup.. : I. i '::';-':-.' Z ?; f. ;t; ; j But not so the enterprising cooper. He made a barrel that stood the test There were certain bard things to get around before the trip ever the falls could be attempted.i The chief of police of Niagara Falls had given out very positively that be would arrest any and all persons aiding or abetting Graham in his suicidal folly, and a certain Constable Jones, on the Canada side, already had a warrant out and was prepared to arrest Gra ham. L .J .: ''.'.;-?.-' . f r TE1 PBIL1MISABT ABBANGXMX5TS. : j Wednesday afternoon Graham cam a here from-1 Buffalo without giving hie wife any inkling of his perilous un dertaking. He put up at the Prospect House, and, in cot junction with the landlord, Dave Isaacs, Constable Andy Horn and a coterie of friends ar - ranged for the final attempt. At 2 o clock a back drove ud. con taining the .barrel and driven by An drew Horn.. Into the hack Graham and' the newspaper men entered, while more people followed in a seoond vehicle, to be posted lower; down, the ver. It! was the intention to launch the barrel at the mouth of Chippewa Creek, on the Canadian side, three miles atJbve'tbe falls. To reach this a trip across the upper suspension bridge was necessary, and the watch f ul eyes of the Custom House officials had to be eluded. Graham slipped quietly from the carriage and went across on foot. - He waited lor the hack to come up. The ; Canadian watchman walked sleepily to the vehicle and asked what waB going to be done with the barrel.) j "Oh,; an other trial trip," said Horn, glibly. "Graham ain't along, is he?" queried the Canadian suspiciously, i "Oh, no, he's at tbe foot of the falls waiting to see the barrel come over." All this time Graham was speeding along be hind a board fence, doubled up like a jck knife, in a frantic endeavor to keep out Of sight. The party went on around the curve out of the offi cial's sight and iook Graham in the carriage, f ' ' :v- ' ' , . ' ; " " A BTABT FBOM A GBAVX YABD. Horn and Graham drove on to the mouth of Chippewa creek, from which the barrel was to be set adrift. : They stopped in a little graveyard fronting on the river bank and rolled the bar rel across it down an avenue between the graves to the water's edge. Gra ham shuddered when he saw the graves, and for the first time hesitated. "Will I be in the ground like that," said he,! "after this thing is over, or will I be even more unfortunate, and never have a gravt!" Horn saw at once that he must ba braied up, and forced him to drink a gill of brandy. The three quickly embarked, and, tak ing the barrel in tow, pulled out into the river; perhaps 800 yards from shore. There the manhole was Opened and Graham entered He was dressed in tight", over which he wore a heavy outer shirt. -,;. -: He firsi placed a ooat iu the bottom of! the barrel on top of; two: thirty Dound bags of sand. : Then he I knelt down, thrusting both .legs and arms through a broad belt of webbing stretched across the barrel. The lit tle craft is so small that even then his head projected, but he bowed fit and two thicknesses of tarpaulin were thrown over the manhold, which was then battened down and fastened by two iron cleats an inch and ja half wide. These were locked with brass snap locks. Fifty feet of inch rope was attached to the top of the barrel to keep it upright, acting as a drag. pounds of railroad iron had been fast ened to the bottom. V THBOUGB BAPID8 AND OVXS TH1 FaLLS. When all was secured Horn rapped on the end of the barrel and asked : "Are you all right, Graham t" 'YeB," was the muffled response, "bus get me off as quick as possible or I shall smother before the trip is begun." He was t once started on bis down ward journey, and in a moment was whirling towards the line of , foam that marked the first rapids. The long drag rope retarded the progress of the barrel and it was fully fifteen minutes before it was hidden from view of the anxious watchers in the little boat. They saw it whirl over as it went down the fall of fifteen feet at the seoond rapids and then riglt itself as the 1 Black ' ot the rope was drawn tight.!' 'This, it subsequently appeared, nearly cost Graham his life. At a minute or two after 7 o'clock tbe three men, waiting on the brink of the falls, saw the red upper end of the barrel come into view, bobbing over the line of breakers due North of Goat Island. Then it shifted to wards the Canada shore, and at pre cisely 7:10 o'clock ran up on a line of foam on the i verge of the centre of the horseshoe, tipped gracefully back ward and disappeared over the brink. The men shouted hoarsely at each other and then started at breakneck speed for the Maid of the Mitt land ing. The newspaper men on Table Rock also saw tbe plunge and, watch in hand, . waited for Graham to emerge. One minute a minute and a quarter a half "He ub lost." shouted a woman, aad bsgan Bobb Eg. "He is not lost !" rejoined a by stander, and the next, instant every eye was rivited on the fifteen inches" of diameter represented by the neck Of the little barrel II had come up twenty rods down from the foot of the Falls, and was floating about" ap parently uninjured. For twenty-five minutes it circled about in Bass Rock Eddy just about where Almy Jones was waiting to recover it. Then it drifted down to within ten feet of the shore, and ho plunged, in and swam to it. 1 "Are youv alive, Grahaa?" he shouted, , pounding on Aha , bar; tl There was no answer aud Jones' heart soak. Then he pounded and shouted again, and heard an inarticu late reply. One of the irons fasten icg the manhole had beeii wrenched completely off, and the other had been bent all out . of shape, so that he could not: open the barrel. . Ac cordingly he seized hold of the ten feet of rope remaining fbf the drag and swam ashore, catching as he did so two live tame ducks and one dead wild one that had accompanied Gra ham over the falls only they had no barrel. " ' ,: - Once ashore a dozen willing hands plied hammer and chisel and the cover was quickly wrenched off and Graham pulled out. There was blood on his head where it had banged against the side of the barrel, and his arms were skinned at the elbows, but on the whole he was in remarkable condition for a man who bad been through the jaws of death. The stilling air inside the barrel was re-, sponsible more than anything else for his faintness, which quickly disap-, peared when he reached the fresh air Brandy was poured down his throat, and he was led as gently as possible across the rocks to the .landing.' was taken in ja' carriage to the Pros pect HouBej rubbed down with whisky and "put to bed. His right hip and head: were found to be pretty badly bruised but no bones were broken. ; ;;. " , ' . ' Later Graham explained that he knew nothing after the barrel lurched 07er the second, rapids, being then dazed by a blow' against the side: of the barrel. He says that he is now satisfied, and will never enter a bar rel again. II is wife in some manner learned of what was, going on, and nearly frantio with fear hurried down from Buffalo. She arrived just after he reached the hotel. Graham is 36 years of age, a cooper by trade, and was born at Wilmington, Del. aa ' J:.' A Safe InTestmeBC : Is one which, is guarantee!
