TRAGEDIES OF NIAGARA.
PSATH OF CHARLES ADDINGTON
AND EVA DS FORREST.
Thrilling Experience of an Unknown
Victim in 1864-A Man Who Has a
Dread of a Similar Fate for Himself.
Harrisburg (Pc r.' Letter in Xew York Sun.
“I am going to Niagara Falls,” said a
passenger on a Pennsylvania railroad train
from Philadelphia yesterday, ‘‘and if yen
read in the papers in a day or so that some
person, known or unknown, has been car
ried over the falls, you may be sure that 1
have reached my destination. No; it won't
be me —not if l can help it. But I have
never been to Niagara yet that someone
did not go over the falls, either inten
tionally or accidentally, and nothing but
a positive and important business engage
ment, such as compels me to go there now,
rould induce me to visit, the spot which is
associated in my mind with three terrible
tragedies. I was a horrified spectator of
two most heart-rending Niagara tragedies,
and on my third visit to the falls the other
was enacted. I have been for six weeks
Irving to avoid this fourth trip, for my
recollections of Niagara are sufficiently un
pleasant without having a fourth one tc be
n perpetual shudder to me.
"My first visit to Niagara was in the
summer of 1858, and I had been there not
snore than ati hour when I witnessed the
agonizing scene of a young man and a beau
tiful fair-haired child swept away by the
swift current of Goat Island ana dashed
over the falls. The young man was Charles
Addington, and the child was little Eva De
Forrest. The Addingtons and Do Forrests
were prominent Buffalo families. Young
X barles Addington was engaged to bo mar
ried to Ada De Forrest. The day that 1
paid my first visit to Niagara Mrs. tie For
rest, Ada and her little sister Eva, and
young Addington had come from Buffalo
for a day's outing at the falls. They pic
nicked on Goat Island, and little Eva having
strayed away from the group her mother
sent'young Addington to find her and fetch
her back. He discovered her not far away,
standing on the shore, looking at the swift
water. Thoughtlessly stealing up behind
her, he grasped the child under the arms
and, lifting her up, held her out over the
water. She threw up her arms and slipped
from his hands into the river. Addington
sprang in and caught her before she had
been carried into the swift water. He suc
ceeded, after a desperate struggle, in get
ting back near enough to the shore to throw
the child on the bank. She had not suffi
cient strength to hold on until her mother
could grasp her, and pull her to a safe place,
and fell back into the current. Addington
again seized her, but he was too much ex
hausted to make way against the swift wa
ter. and the two were carried into the rap
ids and disappeared together over the falls.
I was on Goat island and saw the whole oc
currence.
"In the summer of 1884 I again visited
Niagara Falls. I arrived there at night,
and early next morning I walked over to
Goat Island, and looking down the Ameri
can rapids what should I see but a man
clinging to an old tree trunk that hod lodged
at some time in the current between the
small islands off Goat Island and the Ameri
can shore. Before I could give the alarm
the man had been discovered by othei-s, and
the news spread rapidly. Who the man was
or how he came to be in this perilous situa
tion no one ever knew, hut it was supposed
that he had been rowing across the river
somewhere above the night before, and,
losing control of his boat, had been swept
down into the rapids, and the boat striking
t he trunk, he had by some miracle gained a
foothold upon it.
‘‘As soon as possible after the discovery
>f the man was made word was telegraphed
to Buffalo, and a party of life savers on me
on a special train to the Falls to try and
rescue him. Before 10 o’clock thousands of
persons were gathered at every available
spot where a sight of the unfortunate man
could be obtained. The railroads ran
special trains, and people came in convey
ances of all kinds from the surrounding
country. No one seemed at first to know
how to go to work to be of aid to the man,
but he dung to the tree, watching every
movement that was made—how anxiously
he watched may be imagined. It was of
course impossible to make him hear
anything that might be shouted to
him, and there was no way to give
him any directions. Finally a life
boat was attached to a cable and let down
the rapids from the bridge toward him.
Guide ropes were tied to it, by which it was
directed toward the log by men on the shore
of the island. The plan was well calculated,
and the boat made directly for the spot
where the man was hanging between life
and d"atb. The assembled multitude began
to feel that in a few minutes the poor man
would be safely drawn ashore. Suddenly the
boat was caught by a swirl of the rapids.
The cable partial like a weak kite string.
The boat rushed [last, the man like a flash,
anil was carried over the falls.
“This sail ending to that effort to rescue
the man showed the life savers that there
was no hope for the man in that plan. Sev
eral others were suggested, and finally one
was adopted which it took until late in
the afternoon to get. in readiness. In all
those long hours of suspense I don’t believe
one of the spectators moved from his tracks.
Everything else about Niagara Falls was
forgotten except the temble scene of a i'el
lovv-being hanging on the verge of death
and patiently awaiting the success or fail
ure of the efforts that were being made to
rescue him. The plan adopted was to fasten
a strong cable securely to the American
shore, attach a staunch raft to it, carry the
loose end of the cable over to the island,
and let it belly down w ith the raft to
the tree trunk. By this means it was
hoped that the raft, after reaching the log,
and the man had crawled upon it, could iie
steadily drawn to a small island between
the man and Goat Island, from which snißli
island his rescue would be easy. Some food
and a glass of brandy were floated on the
raft, with a rope and writteu instructions
to the man as to what was to be done and
what he must do. The raft moved down
and reached the tree trunk in safety. As
the man dropped front his perilous perch
upon the raft, lashed himself to it w ith the
rope according to instructions, and then
eagerly seized the brandy and food, such a
shout as went from the thousands of people
who had watched the proceedings
with beating hearts and bated breath
was never heard before. It could he
heard above the angrv roar of Niagara. The
raft was slowly pulled toward the small
island. Everything seemed working ton
■ harm. The tension on the feelings of the
spectators was so great that, many fainted
away. People were sobbing on every side.
Suddenly the raft stopped. The cable,
drawn as it was, beneatn the water, nought
on some obstruction. All efforts to loosen
it were unavailing. One groan of agony
arose from the great crowd. The life-savers
toiled and tugged ♦at, the rope, but still it
idling to the obstruction. It was now near
sunset. The man on the raft had unlashed
t he ropes that had been his security against,
the possibility of his being washed off by
the current, and joined his efforts with the
others to loosen the rope. Ho was pale,
haggard and wild-looking from his hours
of suspense. Suddenly he kneeled on the
raft, over which the water was sweeping
swiftly, and remained there for a moment
as if in prayer. Then he sprang into the
raging current and pulled bravely for the
island, which was only a few feet away.
At first he gained visibly against the cur
rent, and the thought lhat he would surely
save himself found utterance in another
joyful sbont from the spectators. But when
he was almost within reach of the shore his
strength began to fail. The space between
him and the island gradually widened.
Then every one knew that all hope was
gone. He made a few more desperate
strokes, but the wild waters seized him and
pitching and tossing and whirling him, hur
ried him to the brink of the great cataract.
When he reached the edge ot the falls he
was thrown upward from the water until
his whole length came into view standing
upright, and he disappeared as if be had
made a voluntary leap over the precipice.
A\ bile he was being dashed to and over the
falls not a sound was uttered by one in that
vast crowd of horror-stricken spectators,
and, terrible as was the scene, not an eye
was turned away from him as he was car
ried along to his destruction. The moment
he disappeared in the face of the cataract
one heartrending shriek went up from the
crowd, and, the fascination of the scene be
ing broken, the spectators fled from it as if
from some frightful pursuer. The poor vic
tim’s body was never found nor was his iden
tity ever established. As on my previous visit
to the falls, the place had no longer any at
traction for me, and the first train carried
me away.
“In the spring of IRB4. twenty years after
my second visit, I made up my mind to
conquer my aversion to going again to the
place which I could scarcely think of with
out a shudder, and resolved to make another
effort to see the greatest of American nat
ural wonders. Although twice on the
ground, 1 had not yet seen the tails from be
low; in fact, I could not bo said to have seen
them at all. Iliad business in Buffalo in
April three years ago, and after getting
through with it went on to the falls. There
was ice there yet, I remember, and, all
things else being equal, the place was
not particularly cheerful. I made up my
mind to go strainght to the Goat Island
bridge and brave my feelings by taking a
look at the spot where I had seen that
doomed man struggling for life twenty
years before. I did so and was greatly sur
prised to see the old tree trunk to which the
man clung for so many hours still rising out
of the hoiling and leaning water. I had not
been there long when I noticed a great com
motion among the people on the island, and
in a few minutes learned that not
only one but two men had gone over
the falls some time during the night
before, and that the clothing of one
of them had been found, and evidences that
one of the men, who were brotliers-in-law,
was a murderer and suicide. He had lured
his brother-in-law to the island, killed him,
thrown his body into the rapids, and then
jumped in himself and followed it over the
falls. The names of the parties were Vedder
and Pearson, t did not wait for more min
ute details, but hurried to the Erie milway
station ami caught the first train eastward.
“Now, as I said, I am making my fourth
trip to the falls, this time an enforced one?
Do you wonder I am nervous and a tx-ifle sup
erstitious about going there? I hope there
will lie no fatality connected with this
visit, but if vou should read about any one
going over Niagara FalLs within the next
day or two, you may be certain that lam
there.”
THE EXILED FRENCHMAN.
Max O’Rell Discusses His Countrymen
Away from France.
From the Liverpool Courier.
A Frenchman out of France is very much
like a fish out of water.
Of all the Europeau people the French
are those who emigrate the least. Their
country is large and rich enough to feed
them and give them employment, the family
ties are very close, tho ambition for
great wealth seldom exists, and they prefer
living on a snug little income in France to
acquiring a large fortune abroad. Not one
boy is brought up with a view to being sent
abroad when he is grown uo. Most French
men whom you meet settled out of France
are men whose career was blighted by the
political events of the last thirty or forty
years.
Once domiciled in a foreign land, how
ever, the Frenchman soon forms with other
exiled compatriots clubs and societies where
their characteristics come out in full light;
gaiety and good fellowship reign, but tem
pered, if one may say so, by the little na
tional failings, jealousy ami yearning after
elective titles. These societies, we see, are
subdivided into sections, committees,'com
missions, etc , each having a president, a
vice president a treasurer, a secretaire
rapporteur, a secretaire archil into, and
what not. For that matter you will uover
see half a dozen Frenchmen meet round the
table for the discussion of anything but a
good dinner without appointing one of their
number president, another vice president.
etc. Earn one must have a title, and if
there are six members and only five titles to
be dispensed, the one who is left out sends
in his resignation and goes about abusing
the other five. It seems up to now as if the
republic hail failed to make the French peo
ple real republicans.
Frenchmen when in exile do not allow
either pride of birth, education or former
position to lie an obstacle in the way of
earning a living, if only humble opportuni
ties present themselves. Once I was shown
an aristocratic looking countryman of mine
in a fashionable restaurant in London, wash
ing glasses. This plucky Frenchman had
taken to glass-washing, for which he earned
a shilling a night and his dinner, an attend
ant, something more suited to his acquire
ment and requirements. Like many others,
he had fled his country because he had held
a post under the Commune, ami was
“wanted” by M. Thiers. If he had the tra
ditional half crown in his pocket by the
time he reached England it w as as much as
he could Insist in hard cash, and so he
bravely accepted the work I saw him at. I
was not surprised to learn some time ago
that he is now manager and partner of one
of the large French houses of business es
tablished for the sale of French manufac
tured goods iu England.
If you go to a certain cafe iu Regent street,
London, between 12 and 1, you may almost
every day see. seated at one of the tables, a
tall, thin, gentlemanly Frenchman of about
50. This is no less a personage than the first
cook in London. It is said that he makes
an income of over £2,000. SIO,OOO a year.
This is how he earns his living. In his own
brougham he sets out toward evening for
the house of some rich man who is going to
give a dinner at which every dish must, be
above criticism. Here ho alights, and
makes for tho kitchen, goes through the
process of tasting all the soups, sauces and
made dishes, advising, when his palate sug
gests, a little more salt here, a pinch of
herbs there, a dash of sugar in this entree,
a suspicion of onion in that salmis, etc.
This done he pockets his fee of two guineas,
and drives to the next dinner-giving patron
who ha-, bidden him to his feast in this
strange fashion. His nightly list comprises
many houses all through the London season.
A Bone in His Lung.
from the Washington Star.
CIN'CIWATI, Nov. —On Nor. 13 three
years ago Mrs. Winter, wife of George
Winter, while eating dinner swallowed a
bone about the size of a Navy bean. Phy
sicians were sent for, but the case seemed
hopeless. Opiates to soothe the dreadful
sufferings of tho lady were administered.
Though 48 years old she rallied, ami then
began a systematic course of treatment.
Dr. Zipperlen took the ease in hand, but
pronounced it incurable. His diagnosis
was that the bone had lodged in the lung,
and as its removal was an utter impossibili
ty, decay of the lungs must ultimately set
in, and death was only a question of time.
During all this time Mrs. Winter suffered
the severest tortures. Hemorrhages suc
ceeded each other in rapid succession. Her
coughing spells were continuous, and
wasted her from a robust woman to a
mere skeleton. Last Sunday an event
in the nature of a miracle occurred, as-cord
ing to the Enquirer. As usual Mrs. Winter
awoke with a terrible spell of coughing fol
lowed by a hemorrhage. Suddenly she felt
a gradual rising pain on her left side. The
tingling pain row higher and higher, until
all at once she felt a hard substance emerge
from her throat and fill her mouth. Spit
ting it out upou the floor, like a revelation
it struck her that this was the bone she had
swallowed three years ago. A closer exam
ination revealed the fact that the hard sub
stance was a bone with numerous sharp
edges. Dr. Amick was called, and pro
nounced the case simply miraculous, and
gave the reassuring opinion that the effects
of this irritating tenant of the lady’s lung
would soon wear away. The cougliing spell
has since almost ceased, and, except for the
debilitating effect, she is almost restored to
health.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 11, 1887.
SPIES’ BROTHER.
A Man Who Claims to be Related to
the Condemned Anarchist.
From the St. Louis Republican.
A man about five feet nine inches in
height, well built, brown eyes, black mous
tache, attired in a dark suit of clothes, dark
overcoat and a black slouch hat, walked into
the Circle saloon, on the northwest corner
of Twelfth street and Chouteau avenue,
about (5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
asked fora gloss of beer. Albert Booth, the
bar-keeper, brought him the beverage, and
it was drank and another ordered by the
thirsty customer. One licer followed
another until the drinker was more or less
under the influence of the beverage and be
came quits talkative. His language was
in brokeh English, 'and he was
evidently more used to speaking
in German than any other language. There
were several men in the barroom with
whom he drank several times and they tried
to draw him into i-onversation with thorn,
but their efforts were unsuccessful, as none
of them could talk in the visitor’s native
language. Finally, a tall, well-dressed
young man entered the saloon, and as he
spoke in German to the bar-kepper, the
unknown German refused to let him pay
for the drink which had been ordered, but
called for one for himself and they drank
together. He appeared to take a strange
liking to the new comer, for he would often
express his private opinion on the manner
which the Anarchists were treated in this
country. He mentioned the word Anar
chist in English and in such a wild and
threatening manner that the bar
keeper became frightened and told
one of the bystanders to run for a police
man and have the man taken to the police
headquarters. The advocate of anarchy ap
peared to know w hut policeman meant, for
lie told the barkeeper in broken English
that there would be trouble in that saloon
if an officer was summoned, for be was well
prepared for any emergency. His young
companion was the most i-ontrolled one iu
the crowd, and he told the frightened saloon
man to stop his noise aud attend to his busi
ness. When quiet had lieen restored, the
strange man took his so-called young friend
into a corner, and speaking German, he told
the following strange story:
“I suppose you are acquainted with the
facts concerning the Hayuiarket riot in Chi
cago, and of the capture and conviction of
the Anarchists. Now these men never had
a fair and square trial to begin with. Even
if they did it is no reason why they should
be hanged like a pack of cowardly curs, in
stead of receiving the treatment of gentle
men, as they all are—and some of them are
soldiers. It was a made-up plot to have
these men tried for a crime they never com
mitted, and once indicted there was but a
very little chance for their lives. When
these men were convicted I was thousands
of miles from where I am standing now,
but I received the sad intelligence by
cablegram an hour after the men were
sentenced to death. I was personally
interested in the trial all the time, and
I had men watching everything and every
body connected with the prosecution of the
Anarchists, in hopes that I would find some
way by which the men could be set at lib
erty. Much to my dissatisfaction no chance
presented itself, for the men in my employ
cabled everything to me. Was I discour
aged when I received r.o cheerful news? Oh,
no; I only waited patiently night after
night, entertaining tho thought that 1 would
soon get news which would give me cour
age. lam the brother of August Spies, and
I live in Bolatto, Bvron. Bavaria. That is
the reason I have always taken so much in
terest in the welfare of the Anarchists.
.Spies is not the doomed man’s right name,
but that is the uume he told me he was
going to go by in this country, and I
have received positive information that he
is my brother. In Bolatte. myself and niv
father are engaged in the brewery business;
in fact we have one of the largest breweries
in that section of the country, and our busi
ness is very extensive through every part of
Europe. August (I will call him nv that
name) went to i-ollege some distance from
our home, when he was quite a young man.
When he entered it was his intention to
study for the priesthood. He remained at
school for some years, but when lie returned
home on a vacation he told us that, he had
changed his mind and would not study for
the priesthood. When ha formed this
resolution we could not man
age him at all, and he became
very wild. He then embarked in the
business, which he followed up to the time
of his arrest. When tho information was
received in Bolat.te it created the greatest
consternation among the Anarchists and a
meeting was instantly called. The hall
where the meeting was held was crowded
with people eager to assist their brethren in
their distress. We adopted resolutions
promising to send assistance in the shape of
money, or a large body of men. The ques
tion whether we would come over to this
country in a large body or not was a sub
ject of debate for several months,
it was finally decided that we
would ga; her together the liest
and most influential Anarchists in that pint
of the country, and charter steamers and
come to this country. We chartered the
steamer Friesia and two other large
steamers, and left Bavaria about one month
ago. Among the number on txoard the
steamers, which were crowded, there were
three brothers of Herr Most, of New York.
I do not care to say how we land.-d, but I
will state that t.be men landed at such places
and in such numbers that, we escaped t.he
surveillance of the jxoliee.”
“Where are the nten now?" asked the
young man, who had listened attentively.
“They are scattered throughout the East,
but please do not. interrupt me. 1 came tv>
this city last Friday, and was met at the
depot by several Anarchists who had not the
slightest idea that I was cmiing here. I
was put in a carriage and driven to the resi
dence of one of the prominent, members of
the labor union, and stopped there until this
evening, when I slipped quietly away.
Myself and the host had an understanding,
and he lias agreed to have a thousand
Anarchists and sympathizers in Chicago
next Friday morning. But I cannot say any
more, young man, for 1 must hurry and
catch my train,” he said, and moved toward
the door. "But I don’t know where the
depot is; will you direct nu#toit.;” The
young man walked with him toward the
depot, and on the way he resumed the story.
“We have it all arranged, so that at day
light next Friday morning, the active An
archists will meet, in the Grueiier-Baum
hall. 538 Sixteenth street, and try and come
to some understanding whether we will
liberate the doomed men by strategy or
bloodshed. Sec here,” said the speaker, as
be drew from a pocket in his matslecve a
small liottle of arsenic, "if all our efforts
fail we can pass one of these into each of the
doomed men as easy as taking a cigar. We
have men on the inside of the jail who dare
not fail us.”
During their walk they visited several
saloons, and the Anarchist was pretty much
intoxicated. Finally the young man suc
ceeded in putting him on the Chicago and
Alton train, and stayed with him until it
pulled out at 7:55 o’clock.
At Peace.
A stomach in revolt is an obdurate rebel.
Corrected with Hostet ler's Stomach Bitters, its
dissensions with the food introduced into it in
unwary moments of appetite ceases. Then it
is at peace. Then dyspepsia abandons its grip.
Then such fractious manifestations as heart

etc., cease to inflict martyrdom. After a course
