When Graham undertook the feat of navigating the whirlpool in his barrel people admired his pluck, and when Hazlett and Potts successfully braved the angry waves and in their novel craft journeyed down from the falls to Lewiston the exploit was looked upon as eclipsing Graham. Then Donovan made his jump from the bridge and in turn became the hero of the hour. New Ycex, Nov. 2#.— Frederick Rockwall and the wife of Sidney B. West, who eloped from Red Rank, N.

With them was Mrs. West's 6-year-old daughter, whom she had taken with her, and Rockwell's little son.

P., and Com moiior O'Kelly went to Rlverstown, where a platform wua erected and the chapel bell tolled as a summons to the people to assemble. Mr. O'Brien ascended the platform and addressed the crowd, which was momentarily Increasing in numbers. He denounced the action of the government in prohibiting meetings and prosecuting members of the National league in scathing language. These things, he said, bad no terrors for him or his colleagues. Samuel Bawlea, of The Springfield Republican, says: "He should steadfastly live up to the principles enumerated in We letter accepting the nomination for the ((residency, and in his letter of Dec. 95, 1884, to George William Curtis." Previous to their arrival Mrs. West's mother, Mrs.. Jaques, accompanied by an officer, entered a hotel.

In the present age all business men try to anticipate future conditions and to provide weU is advance against foreseen contingencies, hence it is to be expected that the banks will not wait until the approach of 1S91 to shape their policy with reference to the continued holding of high priced bonds.

The young lady, who is well known in the Thirteenth ward, has many friends, and as a consequence the trains from this city to the Falls bar* more than the usual number of Sunday excursionists to that place and much interest was manifested. On the 9:80 train over the Central road Saturday night, among the passengers to the Falls were Miss Sadie Allen, the young lady who had made up her mind to make the dangerous attempt, and a party of personal friends. On arriving at the Falls the party proceeded to a hotel near the entrance to Prospect park which they made their headquarters. Hiss Allen passed the evening very quietly in social conversation and the society of her friends, and retired to rest soon after midnight 8 lie did not appear to be in the slighest degree nervous, and in this respect she had the advantage of the other ladies of her party, who could not disguise the tact that they feared the outcome of the undertaking. She slept well and arose in the morning E calm and confident as ever. The morning passed on and 1p.m. arrived, bringing in due course the noon train from Buffalo, on board of which, among numerous citizens, was the United Press representative, who proceeded to the hotel and found the party getting ready for the start to the river. During the previous day MDe barrel had been brought up from Chippewa and placed in the water at Maid of the Mist landing. AU arrangements! had been completed, and about 1:90 a start was made from the hotel. On nearing the bank Miss Allen said, "I would rather die than back out now. I know I am running a great risk, but if I don't coma out all safe I shall have shown that 1 had the courage to go through with it." "Oh I how could you run away like that?" exclaimed the mother, as the tears gushed to her eyes. Detective Patterson left the mother and daughter in the hotel with the two children, and took Rockwell to the station house, where he was charged with embezzlement and locked up. The Irish people would be glad to overcome these and all other unworthy schemes for repressing public opinion, and he exulted in their power to do so. from London, and was given • cordial reception in the evening by the Lotus club. He will visit different citie9 in this country and deliver lectures upon his travels and adventures. At the reception Chauncey M. Depew gave rein to his witty. tongue. He said the older the newspaper reporter the blacker became his hair and the more youthful his face. "They grow younger, while I find myself with a polished scalp and sunburned side whiskers. If brandy and soda is the cause of It I shall try the drink myself. There have been great explorers, but Stanley is the first to mingle frontier romance with history and solid achievement I welcome Stanley. He has shown what a reporter can do. We all know that they are the last to leave battlefields and scenes Of pestileno* and the first to give us the news. Stanley's career typifies tho great principle in this country that creates greatness out of nothing." (Prolonged applause.)  The police here interposed and threatened to arrest Mr. O'Brien, but that gentleman defled the police to molest him. The police being numerically weak, no attempt was made to Brrest the speaker, and he concluded his address without further interruption. Lawyer I.

The fundamental postulates underlying every banking system established by law, whatever may be its form, must necessarily be: Tint—That banks promots the general welfare of the community, and second, that the particular system established by law is the best qbtainnbl* under the c6nditkms prevailing at' the time and place. These postulates, therefore, underlie oar laws. • The first postulate will not be (Jucstlohed since no people in modern times have ever risen to civilisation, . or maintained their civilization, without banks; and least of all can it be questioned in this country, when, besides 3,868 national banks now in operation, we hare over 5,000 stats banks, Savings bank! and private banks and bankers, whose operations extend into tbe minutest ramification! of the employments and resources of oui 00,060,000 of population. The second postulate involves the question whether the present national bank system should be preserved, and if so whether it is good enough as it is or whether it can be improved. From Riverstown Mr. O'Brien went to Ballygate and was advised by the parish priest at that place to refrain from speaking. Mr. O'Brien persisted, however, and the police dispersed the meeting amid £,Teat excitement - Rockwell wrote to some of his friends in Red Bank, and the detectives found that the writing paper was only manufactured in Kansas City. Patterson went there and found the couple living under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond. Intense excitement prevailed here.

Dttluth, Minn., Not. 20.—At 8 o'clock Saturday night the most disastrous fire in the history of this place broke ont in the top of elevator Q, in the eastern part of the town, and, in spite of the firemen, spread to the annex to elevator A, a new building near •completion, and finally to elevator A, and all were consumed, together with a row of nine frame buildings, dwellings and stores. The fire continued burning all night with a bright blaze, and the wheat will probably burn several days. The cause of the fire is supposed to have been friction of some parts of the machinery. The foreman of elevator *Q, Edward Lee, it is now known, perished in the flames. A READING 8ENSATION. Doctor Kerner Accused of Homicide and Reading, Pa., Nov. 88.—Reading was thrown into a (ever of excitement by the ariW of Frank Kerner, a well known doctor, on the charge of homicide and arson. Late Saturday afternoon a fire started in the upper room of his house, and before it was extinguished his wife was burned to death. At the coroner's inquest it was shown that Mrs. Kerner was in excellent health, and that a neighbor who called at the house a few momenta before the fire saw Mrs; Kerner lying on two chairs, apparently unconscious, with her husband bending over. Kerner refused admittanoe to the visitor. A few minutellster Kerner was seen rushing down the street, saying ha was going for a doctor for his wife. The jury decided that Mrs. Kerner had died from suffocation, and that her husband had set flra to the building to cause her death, and ordered Kerner's arrest. Kerner had the property insured for its full value, and burned it down to realise the insurance. „ , Arson. HE 8TOPPED TWO WLLETS. Bemarkable Strr* at Texas. Charlie** and His Mysterious Death. Chicago, Nov. 9P. —Charlie Fitch, about 40 yean of age, better known in the sporting and vaudeville world as "Texas Charlie," died from the effects of a surgical at the county hospital. Fitch arrived in the city Saturday morning from Texas, having come through with a train load" of cattle. He immediately sought out John D. Long, proprietor of the Park theatre, and announced that hs was in trouble. He looked in and his head was bandaged. He further explained that be had been in a row at Texarkana, Ark., while an route to Chicago, and "stopped a couple of bullets." A surgeon was called in, and it was found that Fitch was in a precarious condition. His jaw was shattered by a pistol ball, and another bullet had entered his breast and was.lodged somewhere in his body. The wounded man was sent to the hospital. There an operation on the wound in the Dw was found necessary, as he was in great danger of death from strangulation, owing to his throat being so greatly swollen. It was attempted, but Fitch was unable to survive it The national currency act of Feb. 13, 1863, was, controled as to its purposes by the paramorant necessity of inducing the banks and other capitalists to become purchasers of government bonds under conditions that would give a basis of solid value to the currency then being paid out in Inn—nes volume under the pressure of military exigencies, hence tbe consolidation of thess banks into a national banking system adapted to commercial and industrial needs appehrs only as a subordinate incident )n the general schema. As early, however, as the year 1864 it was perceived that the general walfare of the people would be promoted by giving greater cohesi reuses and method to tbe system, regarded more especially in its banking than in its currency features, and from that time to this the effort of legislation has been to subordinate Qp issuing of currency to the more important functions performed by the banks as institutions oC discount and deposit The effect'of this legislation and its wisdom are frampHlM fea iii i wssit high credit and the HKurAffsatv: served purely as ana at deposit and discount, there would probably arise an almost univert #1 sentiment in lav** of bestqwing upon its preservation immediate and careful attention, but it is AouWal whether the banks flnH sufficient to remain in the system without enjoying some privileges as to the issne of currency, and it has been qusstioned whether there is power under tbe coactituWoa. for the Charter of national banks, except as instrumentalities for a money circulation. It follows, therefore, that any legislation directed to the improvement and permanent establishment of the national banking system must include some provisions for the maintenance of a national bank circulation, while onthe other hand ft appears .that whatever opposition *«Ma tp the national banks attaches to Uhm sunlyis banks of isBue, and under-our system of government nothing can to regarded as permanently established until It ha* obtained tbe support of a well settled public oplntoa. Hence It is evident that the problem now to be solved is bow to remodel the currency featnrse of the national bank so as to obtain popular approval of Objections to the present national bank currency appeals to be oomjsisnd within First—A general objection to paper mouey in any form. Second—An objection to national bank notes bsssd upon the assumption that they lake tbe place of an equal amount of paper money that might be issued directly upon the credit of tbe government Commoners Maurice, Healy, Lane, Fox and O'Hea spoke at a large meeting held at Killeagh. Their speeches were moderate and guarded, but all declared that no action of the government could terrify them or deter them from doing whatever might seem best foe tbe interests of the Irish cause and the achievement of the independence of Ireland. All being ready, Mr. Scully and William Potts took a carriage and departed on the journey along the American side of the river to Lewiston, where the voyagers were to land. Miss Allen and George Haslett, her fellow voyager, got into the barrel and at 2.50 the start was made. The barrel slowly drifted for the short distance intervening between the commencement of the rapids, and about one minute later the first wave caught the craft and then the battle between the wild rushing torrent and it began in earnest. The angry waves tossed and hurled the tiny speck, as it seemed to tboee on the bank, in every direction. Now sideways, now stern first, now almost on end, the craft and its freight dashed madly on, at times entirely submerged, then almost thrown into the air. At 2.57 the whirlpool was reached, and, passing close to the Canadian shore, after a lapse of four minutes, during which the conflicting eddies carried t-e barrel now in one direction, then in an opposite one, the craft shot out of the maelstrom and down the river towards Lewiston. After proceeding about 200 yards down the rapids a sudden eddy caught the barrel and flung it over noar the Canadian shore, where the current struck it and carried it back again in the direction of the whirlpool, only, however, to be again forced in the opposite direction by the volume of water rushing from the outlet of that wonder of nature. Forty-five minutes passed and the craft still slowly traveled up and down and round the confines of this miniature whirlpool, one moment almost approaching the center of the rapids and the next nearly touching the shore. A rope was brought and thrown to Haslett, who caught it, and the barrel was drawn to shore, where the occupants were oseisted out of the barrel. They had been in the interior of the craft one hour and fifteen minutes. Miss Allen suffered an attack of vomiting, but soon recovered, and the journey back along the margin of the river to the elevator began. Of four men in elevator Q when the lire broke out only one escaped. Charles Moore, a watchman, after being severely burned, jumped from the cupojp to the ground, a distance of eighty feet, and was killed. A man named Laroche and the foreman, Charles Lee, perished. IBevator Q was built two years ago by the Dutath and Western Elevator company. It cost (80,000 and about $50,000 had been expended on the annex. There were in store 400,000 bushels. Elevator A was owned by the Union Improvement and Elevator company. The building was valued at $125,000. It contained 850,000 bushels of wheat, 112,000 bushels of corn and 11,000 of flaxseed. The Manchester Martyrs. Dublin, Nov. 29.—A monument to the memory of the Manchester martyrs was unveiled at Ennis. Two thousand persons were present at the ceremony, including many from Limerick, Gal way and other towns, besides Ennis guardians and officials. The procession waa accompanied by a hearse drawn by four horses, and attended by mutes. Six bands of music, with muffled instruments, alternately played the "Dead March," and the "Adesta Fidelis." John O'Leary delivered a mock funeral oration previous to the unveiling of the monument Messrs. Stephen J. Meany aad Maj. Clune, of New York, also spoke.  Bandar Fader .  Philadelphia, Nov. 29.—The Times today publishes an account of a glove fight which it says took place Sunday in the parlor Of a wealthy gentleman residing on the outskirts of the city, between frank Burke and Charley McCarthy, two local light weights. The fight was for $100 a side, the stakes being posted by two wealthy admirers of the respective men. Eight rounds were fought on velvet carpet under a brilliant chandelier. Neither of the contestants reoeived very severe punishment, but both were well "winded" at the end of the eighth round, when the fight was declared a draw. About thirty well known oitlsens witnessed the contestThe total amount of grain lost was about 880,000 bushels, valued at $585,000. The salvage on grain is perhaps 10 per cent Ihe loss on the elevators and grain aggregates $830,000, distributed as follows: Elevator A, building, $87,750; elevator A, contents, $274,- 750; eltvator Q, building and annex, $100,000; elevator Q, contents, $156,100; total insurance, $618,600.

Brussels, Nov. 20.—The police are tracking five travelers from Dover who are suspected of having robbed the English mail Saturday.

The po?toffloe department announces that no English letters ware stolen by the robbers who rifled the English mail in Belgium, and states that there were only 149 registered letters in the closed mail from America, destined to Russia via London.
