Y., Sept 8L— Carlisle D. **Tf ham, the Philadelphia cooper, went omr the center of the Horseshoe falls in Ids DW. reL-boat at 7:10 o'clock Sunday morning, and twenty-five minutes later was picked up comparatively unharmed,in t&eeddy be low the falls. His barrel was beaten and wrenched somewhat, but was still water tight and perhaps in a condition to go over the fails again. About fifty people witnessed the feat, which* in order to avoid arrest, was conducted very quietly. At midnight Graham and his barrel were taken .across the upper suspension brldg* in a hack driven by Andrew Horn, and carried around to the mouth of Chippewa creek, on the Canadian sida, three miles above the falls Ther#Mifeein was joined by Gerry K. Stanley, who rowed dovrifc from the village ^of La Salle in a boat The banelvps totmd 900 ysiria from the shore, wherC at H&S o'elock, it waslet go. A ftfty-foot jrope drag was at tached and lOO pounds of railroad iron wese fastened to the bottom of the bar rel to keep upright Graham was doubled up on top of' two thlrty-pannd bags ot sand and had both arms and legs thrust through the same loop, his head being bent down between his knees. The barrel rode to the brink-of the fails In twenty-five minutes. After going over it wassubmerged a minute and a half. Then it came to the. surface forty yards below the falls. It floated about for twenty-five minutes longer, when Ai mer Jones swam out and towed it ashore wlth the remnant otH||| drag-rope. The man-hole had been padded from the outside, and the bars were so much wrenched that they had to be out off. Graham was dagged out in a fainting con dition, the foul, confined air and several hard blows on the head while going through the upper rapids having knocked him out He was soon restored and, excepting a few bruises, was uninjured. He says of his trip: 'The ride through the rapids is as nothing compared with it.. The rapids beforg reaching tbe brink and which look so small from the shore, are not at all pleasant. I could not rea lize just when I reached the brink, for it seemed as though I must have beea dazed, but I experienced tbe railing sensation aad I knew Iwas going feet first. The nose no man will ever be* able to describe. I realized noth ing after that until something struck the bar rel and I could hear some one call out: *Graham, are you alive?' I had hardly strength to answer back and not enough to undo the fastening on the side, so I begged tbem to break the barrel to pieces and get me out, but they only broke off the manhole cover. I have got all I ever want out of Niagara falls, and I don't think 1 ever want to hear them roar again." WANAMAKER'S PLAN. He Contemplates, It Is Said, Founding Syntem of Postal1'Telegraph Service. WASHINGTON, Sept 2. —The question of telegraph rates for Government business which has been so long pending between the Post-Office Department and the West ern Union is probably developing into a big Adminlstratiou project for a postal-tele graph system. Mr. Wanamaker has had something of the sort in mind ever since he became Postmaster-General. He reasons that nothing could be desired by the Administration of more essential service and greater popu larity with tha business classes than a measure to reduce telegraph tolls. The subject has been considered by the Presi dent and several of his advisers It is said they have approved of it The best proofs that they have lies in the efforts of Mr. Wanamaker toward the preparation of a feasible plan to present to Con gress, for nothing can be done without an act of Congress. The broad features ofthe scheme are to make postal tele graph a semi-public and semi-private system—to use tho wires and plant of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph Cable companies, the ownership of them to remain as they are now, and to utilize the post-'ilioe stamp and delivery system for the payment and delivery of messages. The tolls, of course, are to be reduced both on Government and private business and tbe responsibilities to be shared either by the payment of Government subsidies or the purchase of a part interest The details of this scheme are only to be guessed at for no one who knows will talk about them. Some such plan Mr. Wanamaker dmits wasconsidered by him and Dr. Norvin Green, president of the We stern Union Company, attheir conferences of Friday and Saturday. But more he would not say. Dr. Green and Mr. Wanamaker were joined Saturday by John W. Mackey, president and chief owner of the Postal Telegraph Company, and the whole business was talked over. Dr. Green in a general way admitted the truth of the foregoing statements, and Mr. Mackey, who was also seen, would not deny them.

Holzhay confesses to all the stsge and train robberies At 7 o'c ock Saturday morning Marshal Glode and Justice Weiser were walking down the street from their homes When near the rail road depot they met a man dressed roughly and apparently antldus to escape attention. The ru«r«hB| WM struck by his close likeness to the descrip tion of the Gogebic stsge robber, and immediately stepped in front of the man, saying: "I want you." The stranger whipped his hand to his hip pocket, but before he could draw a pistol was felled by Marshal Glode's billy, which stunned him. He was taken to the village jail, recovering consciousness on the way. At the jail he was searched and three revolvers, three gold watches, four pocket-books and other ar ticles v?ere found on his person. One pock ei-look bore the name of Relmund Holz hay, the robber's name. He broke down under examination and acdnowledged com mitting the robbery of the Milwaukee & Northern train at Ellis Junction last May, and the robbery at Lake Gogebic on Mon day last' Holzhay came here Friday evening and put up at the Republic House. The police officers in all towns up here had been furnished with a description of the robber, and when he entered the Republic he was at once placed under surveillance on the .suspicion that he was the nmn wanted for the murder and robbery. The Bessemer authorities were telegraphed to for further information, but up to an early honr no response was received from them. Marshal Glode resolved not to wait word from them- and to make the arrest, being fearful thatif he delayed longer the man might escape. Among the pocket-books found on Holz hay was the one that he took from Fleisch bein, the m§n whom he killed and robbed when he held'up the stage at Gogebic, and which 'contained letters and papers bearing Fleischbein's name. Anoth er pocket-book, evidently belonging to W. G. Decelle, 408 Sibley street, St Paul, was recovered. There was also- a fourteen-karat hunting case, stem winding gold watch, which the man admits he took from Fleischbein. It was some''time before Holzhay would admit his identity, but finally, when con fronted by the evidence of his own pocket book, acknowledged his identity. He stubbornly refused to say that he had committed otHtfr robberies than those at Ellis Junction (und.Gogebic, but after much cross-examination said: "It is generally supposed that one man has done them all, and I think that is so," He then entered into a detailed statement of his various crimes. His story was an interesting one. MABQUETTE, Mich., Sept 2.—Holzhay, the Gogebic stage robber who was captured Saturday by Marshal Glode at Republic, was on Sunday turned over to Sheriff Foley, of Gogebic County. Ihe sheriff left for Bessemer with his prisoner at 5:30 in the evening. The prisoner was sullen and de fiant, his demeanor showing him to be ready for any desperate deed that would give him death or liberty, and if not securely kept there was danger that he would yet effect his escape. He refused to talk concerning his ex ploit to any but Officers Glode and Weisel, who captured him, but to them he made a statement while they were with him in the jail, in which he admitted that he is the man who went through the Milwaukee A Northern train between Maple Valley and Ellis Junction last May, a Wisconsin Central train in August besides having held up several stage coaches in Northern Wiscon sin during the last six months, and com mitted numerous other small robberies. MARQUETTE, Mich., Sept 2.—Reports from Bessemer say that Holzhay, under the escort of Sheriff Foley, reached North Bessemer at 12:55 a. m. They took the stage there, and, proceeding to Bessemer, arrived at that place at 1:30 a. m. Very little excitement was manifested Popular feeling has run vory high in Go gebic County and as the miners and work men are idle ""and drinking heavily it would be very easy for one determined man to or ganize a lynching party. Sheriff Foley is a very resolute officer and is accompanied by two efficient deputies, but it is. doubtful if they would resort to shooting at an attack ing mob to save the life of the miscreart who coolly admits that he robbed and mur ered a man in tbe county less than a week ago. IHoIzhay !E a German of 122 years of age. He is a resident of Shawano County, Wis., and one ot the very cLeverest woodsmen ot the Northwest. His first attempt at stage rob bing was in last April, w'hen he held up the stage going.from Pulsifer to Simond. He wore a red handkerchief over hts face, car ried a Winchester, and when his command to halt was not promptly obeyed he shot a horse, and clicking'another cartridge in his gun, drew down on-the passengers ,and demanded their money. But there was no cash In the crowd, and he really took those des derate obanoes for less than a dollar all told. In ••. his second attempt he got a-' mail pouoh "which yielded him 1700, besides 150 that he took from a pas senger. 3 In his third attempt he secured a much lighter mail pouch and a smaller private purse. A fourth stage robbery was fol lowed within an hour by a train rob oery,^y in wmiSt he accomplished the ipnparalleled feat of stopping a train and go ing through the cars, levying tribute from sixty .men and escaping with out a- confederate or struggle. Directly after' he train robbery he went into Bendell and held up Phil Cann for 180, a watch and .chaip. This time he was unmasked by Cann, who knew him well. His next attempt was on the -Wisconsin Central sleeping car, when he took a score of wallets aad ags^in es caped, and his last is the recent attack on the Gogebic coac&, when he added murder to bis devilish record.] SLOW PROGRESS WADE.
