OVER THE NIAGARA FALLS- It is Claimed that Graham Made the ' Leap in His Barrel. NIAGARA FAI,I,H, Sept. Ist.—Last Sunday afternoon Carlisle I). Gra ham made a successful trip through the whirpool rapids, the Maelstrom Foster's flats, before an assembled multitude of 15,000 people, that was preparatory to his effort to-day to pass over the falls, which according to Graham himself and a few other witnesses, was accomplished in safety. The same barrel was used. At 6 o'clock this morning it was towed out into the river by Andy Home and Garret Cahill,and at 0:45 a. m. it was let go at the point opposite the Chippewa Creek. Down the current it swept, plunging over reefs, then out of sight, till at 7:10 it ap proached the brink and dropped 200 feet into the abyss IKIIOW. The bar rel soon reappeared intact and was i espied in an eddy. Elmer Jones swam out from the Canadian shore, caught hold of the rope fastened to the barrel and towed it in shorei where just at 7:25 a. m. Graham was lifted out by Jones and Cahill. Graham was quickly brought out more dead than alive to Home's saloon, on this side. Graham him self says the first 1 knew was when someone struck the barrel and said: "Graham are you alive?" He com plained of terrible pains in the back and head from the rocking he had received, and could talk but inco herently. About a dozen people verify the statement that Graham was in the barrel and many more will say that they saw the barrel go over. Graham was probably led to h'-< exploit In the appearance here of Steve Brodie villi the avowed in tention ol jumping the falls.

May Hamilton, who is implicated in the stabbing affair at Atlantic City, is an okl resident of this place. She is the daughter of William Steel and was born in Wilmot twp., sonic thirty years ago. Her maiden name was Eva Steel. About 1870, at the time of the opening of the Bernice coalmine in Sullivan couti ty, the family removed to that place. Ilere Eva developed into woman hood, and about 1876 with her beamy, added to a perfectly deve loped figure, she captivated Walter Parsons, son of a prominent gentle man from Boston, who was then superintendent of tLe mines. TIIK NEXT TWO YEARS. During the next two 3'ears they passed as man and wife in this vic inity, Parsons saying she was his wife at the hotels where they stop ped. In 1878 Parsons became tired of the fair but frail Eva, and re turned to Boston, leaving Miss Eva behind. For several years she drifted between Towanda, Elmiraaiul Waverly. About 1881 she left this vicinity going to New York. The last time she visited this town was during the holidays last year. She was accompanied by a man who gave his name as J. Mann, who claimed to be her husband. Those who knew her at the time of her liason with Walter Parsons said her beauty was much faded and she showed unmistakable evidence of her of Sullivan county, Pa., and to me directed .ittil delivered, there will be exposed to public sale at the Court House, in LaPo-te, on Tueg d.'V, Sept. lnber 17th, 188!), at 1:30 p. m.
