For the nrst lime since her perilous. trip over the horseshoe falls of Niagara while strupped in a barrel constructed ironi hop nun Aasstma Mrs. Annie Edson Tay lot; the heroine of that adventure, de-a rlbes her experiences In her own words lor The Pittsburg Suntdy Press. She herself declares it lo be the first and only authentic account of this wonderful voyage, where death was Imminent at any moment story, told in the simplest and most unaffected wav, is not only thrilling but rarely interesting, and her powers of description end expression are no less remarkable than h-r bulldog: courage. Tavlor dictated her story for The Sunday at her hotel at Niagara Kails, where she is still suffering Irom shock and bruises.

When tho stenographer read his notes to her she said: "That Is very good." AHhought it will be some time before 3ir3. Taylor is able to get around, there is io doubt that she will eventually recover. "We planned to start between 1 and 2 o'clock." she said, "bitf. the boatman dis-apiiointed us. and we had a vexatious delay -of an hour and a quarter.

But at last iH was ready. I got into the boat, with the- barrel in one end. and started for Orass Island. "Arrived there, they put the barrel in the' water, and found that it leaked around the screws, where the weight was r-crewed on. They waited lor it to soak and that took some time "Telling the men to turn their backs, I removed my street costume in the boat and backed into the barrel.

Then I put a strap around me, making it fast to the foot for the barrel and adjusted the cushions at the front and back of my body. lay in a reclining position, as it were, with a pillow under my head, and my arnis In the straps I did not have straps in my hands. There was a-rubber tube in the barrel and the men attached a bi-eycJe pump and pumped the barrel full of Just before I was cut loose I opened the little tube to see how it worked. Water came in and I drank the water. lt was 'delicious.

"Then I said to Mr. Truesdale, the boatman, that he' could me loose, but when he dii so rap on the barrel with his oar. A moment later came the warning rap and I was cff. "I thought my heart would burst when 1 realized that I wa. loose and was floating toward the falls.

But it was too to back out. No mortal power could me out of that barrel and. even at that supreme moment. I did not want to get out. "The barrel floated smoothly on for an age.

it seemed to me. and then suddenly it plunged down over the first drop abotk feet high. I struck on the rocks and the barrel rolltd cfr and this it seemed to me as if I went around a curve and I rolled over and hung against a rock. Jt was as if I could feel myself hanging on the edge of a sheer precipice and shutting my eyes before the rirop into the abyss. I knew exactly where I was.

I knew I was on the edge of the precipice, and braced myself for the shock, and I think that for about three seconds I lost my reason. I did not laint. but my mind was gone. I oblivious of everything. "The next thing I knew I was in the taract below.

It must have been the velocity of going over ihat took ray nfrpfs away. I realized that I was in the cataract under the falls. I can only describe the fearful sensation by likening it to the movement of a dasher in a churn. "It was as if you had churned me with all your might and pushed me round and round at the same time, over this wav and over that way. and round and round, and thrust me up and down with giant (force.

It was a tremendous churn. "But the barrel, in spite of these terrible thrusts and wild whirls, was stand- i ing up. The water waa up to my waist. THE DEATH RECORD. Funeral of C'tanrlew I.

But it is coming faster than you people in the old world realize.

Mr. Frank Stockton was down at SKibo this year," said Mr. Carnegie, "and he told rather a good story bearing upon this question. When he was coming down in the train he foregathered with an Englishman whom he met in the train and they got to talking about various things, and the Englishman expressed what is now a very common sentiment among your people great regret at the folly of George 111. 'Just think what he cost said the Englishman; 'why he cost us said Mr.

Stockton, 'you must not forget what he cost 'Cost said the Englishman. What did he cost you? 'He cost us said Mr. Stockton. "And there is the whole truth in a nutshell. If we had all continued together, Britain would have belonged to America much more than America would have belonged to Britain.

"It is all a matter of interest, and a nation which can sell cheaper than any other nation is always in favcr of free trade." But returning to the wider subject.

said 1, "the idea of a re-United States is no longer so chimerical as it appearea some time ago. The utter breakdown or our governing class, which is Illustrated in the South Atrican war has orougnt inings perceptibly nearer." "Have you seen, saia jvir. uarnegie, "that remarkable statement made by Mr. Arnold Forster, a member of the present administration, that the whole war in South Africa is an immense English immigration?

And do you think that South Africa wil! be different from the others? Never!" And so -we parted. UNIQUE COLLEGE COURSE.

Two. Institutions Add Marine Engi- neeriug; and Naval Arehf tectnre. A little over a year ago the board of regents of the University of established a new engineering department that of naval architecture and marine engineering. At that time there were but, two institutions of any note in the country w-hich gave the course the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Columbia shortly afterward followed Altcnigan leaa, ana ine nances are that in a comparatively short time most of the treat universities situatea near the lakes or the oceans will follow suit.

The department at Ann Arbor is under the charge of Prof. Sadler, who is widely known in scientific circles, and under his efficient direction tt bids fair to assume a very important place 4n university work. Although it has been in operation only a year, the number of students applying for the work has. already exceeded the expectation of the university authorities. The equipment is not yet complete, but it contains all the necessary apparatus for study.

The draw ing rooms are fitted with planimeters, and integrators, and there is a "mold loft" for laying off the vessels on a full-sized scale." Instruction is given in the use of instruments, and in all the calculations necessary to the proper design of ships. The work consists in lectures and recitations, drawing and using the mold loft, tests of resistance, etc. The erection. of a tank for experimental tests is contemplated by the regents, and Prof. Sadler hopes that before long such a tank may be constructed on the campus.

At present there is only one in the country that at the Washington navy vard. The tank would be about 400 feet Ion? by 12 feet deep, and could be placed near the gymnasium, on the south. It would be fitted with an apparatus for making models of the different types of vessels, and an arrangement for towing these models and registering the amount of their resistance, etc. The use of the tank would be invaluable to students in studying all questions relating to propulsion and the different forms of propellers. The shipping on the lakes will be of great advantage to the department, and visits will be.

made by the classes to various shipyards to study the actual work in progress there. Before the course is finished each student will be required to design some vessel to fulfill given conditions; as, for instance, a fast torpedo boat, an Atlantic liner or a private yacht. He will have to make all the calculations connected with the design, draw a complete set of working plans and make out an order form and specifications. The course will be thoroughly practical and of great value to the student, and in these days of our rapidly growing merchant marine graduates of the department will undoubtedly find little or no trouble in getting good situations. Prof.

Herbert Charles Sadler is admirably fitted for his position as head of the department. Althougn stlil a young man. he- has already demonstrated his abilitv to cope with the great problems of navigation and ship building. He was born in England in 1872. graduated at Dulwich College, and then entered the University of Glasgow, from' which institution he was graduated seven years ago with the- degree of B.

S. He was appointed assistant professor of naval architecture at Glasgow -in 18t, and was associated privately with the most eminent naval architects of the time. He has contributed many able articles on subjects relating to his profession to different scientific journals, is a member of the Institute of Naval Architects in London, of the Institute of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers of America, of Institute of Engineers and other similar organizations. A fact that will be of special interest to Americans Is that it was to Prof. Sadler that the survey of the city of i Paris was entrusted when she- was i st-anded on the Manacles, The work was done so well that the attention of naval architects all over the world was called to the young professor and un- ZmH rT i Krr2 hlm for 1,18 efforts.

The barrel was standing straight up but revolving so rapidly that I was dazed and dizzy, but I remember thinking, "This is the place where things do dow and disappear forever," and I kept running this over in my mind again and again.

he said: -I have not heard anything about such a deal being made: I do not think it is the intention of -the I mted States Steel corporation to control the company."

Latest reports from the safe robbery at Berea, Ohio, this morning, say that the robbers got 170,000 worth of negotiable papers from the safe in Lawrence and Bright-man's store.

Berea. October SR. Safe crackers swooped down upon Berea early this morning, blew open two safes with nltro- glycerine, goi over $100 in quantity of silverware, knives, revolvers and other articles, and got away without having aroused a single person in the town. The gang went first to Dunham's foundry, where they blew open safe but got no money. Here they stole hammers and chisels and then went to Lawrence Brightman's hardware store.

They blew open the safe, using a heavy safe door was blown completely vOff and hurled through a partition 10 feet away. Every window in the building was shattered, show cases were broken, a number of stoves that were displayed the safe were broken and the entire Stock of goods shaken from the shelves. Every compartment of the was broken into and papers were Btrewn all about the place. Brightman was treasurer of Baldwin University and had some university funds In the safe, but it is not known just how much. The loss, however, in cash, goods and damage to stock will not fall below $1,000.

There is no. clew to show how the gang entered the town or got away, to pay all Its floating indebtedness when due. It is figured that by January 1 the combanp will be'out of debt, with a cash surplus of $40,000. During the last six months $50,000 has been expended on the property out of earnings, with the rewtlt that the production has been maintained at between 600 and "O0 barrels per-day The debt of which is shortly, to be liquidated, was created in the purchase of new properties. NEW YORK IS NEGLECTED Grain Exporters Prefer BaltimoreMany Vessels Lying Empty.

New York, October 21. The grain exports from this port have fallen off erior- mously and those of Baltimore show a corresponding gain, according to figures submitted at yesterday's meeting of Commerce Commission by J. C. Brown statistician of the produce exchange. Mr.

Brown's figures were taken as. at least, a partial explanation of the large amount of idle shipping in -this port. It was estimated a few days ago that sail and steam craft amounting in the aggregate to luo.ixio tons were laid up in New York harbor at the charterers' loss. Mr. Brown said-that the receipts showed that in June 51.7 per cent of the ferain shipments passed through New York and 11.3 per cent through Baltimore.

In July when the shipments were one and three-quarters times larger than the preceding month. New York's share dropped to 37.7 per cent, while the shipments through Baltimore rose to 35 per cent. In August, he said, the grain movement amounted to bushels and yet of the total amount New York handled only 26.4 per cent. -while the shipments from Baltimore rose to 3.l per cent. In September New York's share reached per cent, while Baltimore dropped to 2t.4 per cent, a very slight gain for New York.

(Coryright, 1W1, by W. K. Hearst.) Philadelphia, October 20. The secret marriage of Mrs. Mae Chauncey Todd, chosen a month ago to christen the new-torpedo boat, Chauncey, was disclosed today when the boat slid down the ways.

The Chauncey was named in honor of Mrs. Todd's "great-grandfather. Commodore Isaack Chauncey, one of the famous naval officers of the war of 1812. Mis. Todd, nee Chauncey, was chosen a month ago to christen the vessel and when the secretary of the navy learned of her marriage, despite the unwritten law that only a maid shall act as sponsor for a Cnited States ship, he refused to disarrange the plans.

Thus it was that Mrs. Todd earned the distinction of being the first married woman to christen a naval vessel. The fact that she twic5 failed to break the bottle of champagne on the bows of the boat and had to try a third time was regarded for a moment as an ill omen- for the Chauncey by those who had opposed Mrs. Todd's acting as sponsor when the BODY FOUND IN A CLOSET Lonely Old Man Had Been Cruelly Murdered for His Wealth. Unlontown.

October 26. A mysterious crime was discovered today thirty miles east of here along the national pike bv the finding of the dead body of Iouis Neil, who had evidently been murdered a week ago. Neil was 80 vears old. lived alone and was in the habit of going away without notice. He- was last seen a week ago, and his prolonged absence caused the house to be broken open today.

After a long search his body was found standing up in a narrow closet, his head mashed in with an axe. the closet door having been locked by his murderers Signs of violence were plentiful, and evident Iv more than one person had a hand In the job. 3 Neil had sold his property and was supposed to have a thousand dollars purchase monev with him. which was gone.
