TWO NIAGARA TRAGEDIES. The Death of Little Eva We Forrest—A Vain Attempt at Rescue. New York Hour. More thantwenty years ago Niagara wit- nessed a tragedy which, while of a heart- rending character, was marked by an act of true heroism seldom equaled in grandeur. Mr, Charles Addington, a young man about Sor 2 years of age, was afflanced to Miss De Forrest, both being residents of Buffalo. One day a happy party, comprising Mrs. De Forrest, Miss De Forrest, a younger daugh- | ter, Eva, a beautiful child 5 or 6 years old, and “Charley” Addington, as_ his friends were accustomed to cull him, visited the Falls, They crossed the bridge to Goat Isfand, and, while resting under little Eva strayed away from the group, and, | approaching the bank of the narrow but ; deep and switt stream that rushes between » Goat Island and the small island lying be- j tween it and the main American rapids, was amusing herself by casting sticks into the water and watching them + whirled away. Mrs. De Forrest, alarmed for her child’s safety, requested Charley : Addington to go after her and bring her back. Charley at once proceeded to the bank, and, thinking to give the fittle one a frigh approached her stealthily from behind, and, catching her under the arms, held her over the stream. The startled child threw up her i little hand over her h@d, and instantly she slipped through young Addington’s hands - and fell into the rapids. 7 * The realization of the horrible calamity ! must have come home to Adaington’s brain * with the rapidity of the lightning’s flash. He saw that his rash act hadcost the child’s life —that only one desperate chance of savin her remained—that the world was at an en for him forever. Tearing off his coat, he ‘rushed along the bank until he had passed | little Eva. who was kept afloat. by her cloth- ; ing; then plunging in ahead of her he seized the child and desperately attempted to throw herupon the bank, As he made the effort he fell back in the rapids and was whirled over the fall that intervenes between the American Horseshoe Falls. Little Eva struck the top of the bank, but all power had apparently gone from her, and she rolled back into the stream and was hurried to her dreadful fate. The mother and \ sister stood powerless and paralyzed with horror while the tragedy, almost instantaneous in its action, passed . leaving its dark cloud hanging over all their future lives. Charley Addington had made a hero’s atonement for his thoughtless and reckless act. tis father—he was an only son—was in the habit of visitine the Falls once a week for yearsafter the tragedy, and he would sit for hours gazing at the spot where his son and little Eva met their deaths, , He became well known at the Falls, and : there were many who believed that he would one day voluntarily seek the saiue fate that his son, in his heroism, had courted. But his sad pilgrimage had no such ending. An accident with very dramatic accom- | paniments occurred some fuw weeks after | the sad event that cost Charley Addington and Eva de Forrest their lives. On emorning soon after daybreak, the early risers at the Falls discovered something: moving on a huge old logor trunk of a tree which for years had shown {itself above the boiling rapids on the American side, having been caught by and become firmly wedged into the rocks on its way toward the falls.

Dis- patches were immediately sent to Buffalo to the Coast Life-Saving Station, and Capt. Dorr | hastened to. Niagara by a special train, car- ‘ rying with him two metallic lifeboats, aud ! plans to save the man were concerted. But, before the arrangements were completed, the news had been spread abroad, ant thousands of persons had reached the by special trains. Goat Islatia, the bri Is of all adjacent buttdings, and the branchesof trees were covered with anxious and horritied spectators. ‘The first attempt at rescue was by means of sit the loz; and guided by: side ropes. The ; boat had net got far from the bridge when the fierce rapit i ; round, and appeared to be endeavoring to | crush in its sides. The strong cable snappe ike a whipcord, and the poor fellow who had been watching the effort made for his rescue ; Saw the boat whirled past him and carried ! over the falls, as if in mockery of his would- ‘be rescuers. Considerable time was then * eonsumed in deliberating on a new plan, and itwas proposed to fasten a cable to soine : buifding on the American side, to carry it + over to the island until it would sag near the log, and then to rescue the man by means of { a basket hung on the cable by rings, and to ; be let down and pulled in by means of smaller ‘ropes. The matenals for this experiment { could not be procured, so at last it was de- cided to send down a strongly-constructed : raftin the same manner as the lifeboat had : been launched, and, if it reached the man in sufety, to ease it over toward the small i island, from whence his rescue would ‘be comparatively easy. The raft was built, but it was 4 o’clock in the after- * noon befure all was ready.. The day had assed without the flight of time being heeded. The excitement was intense. Men and women, who bad stood for hours with- i out food, were painfully agitated. The raft ‘ moved. It withstood bravely the wild as- } saults of the angry rapids. It neared the | log. The man stood up and waved his arms. : ‘The raft came within his reach and he got : on to it, eat the food, drank « small quantity of weak brandy and water that had been p : aboard, and fastened himself by the lashings | Which had been prepared and the intent of ; Which he understood.

He unfastencd the lashings,stood up, made a spring from the raft iD the direc- tion of the island, and was in the foamin: waters, Instantly he struck out for the isk and.

But suddenly those on the bridge, who could see more distinctly from their locatio) became aware that the spade between the isi- and and the swimmer’s head was gradually widening. There was another dreadful mo- + ment of suspense, and then thounpitying rap- . ids seized their prey, and, auparently making sport of the efforts that had been résorted to ; to snatch him from their grasp, twisted him round and whirled him along until they hur- , ried him over the precipice.

One of the prisoners. is Dr. . Thomas N. Cream, ot No. 484 West Madison * street, who, the police of the district say, was “wanted” once before on a similar charge, which he managed to elude by ; leaving town unt] the excitement had blown ‘over; the other is a young negro woman named Mrs. Hattie Mackey, at whose house ; the victim of the crime was discovered by the police on Friday evening. The house, a , two-story frame building at No. 1056 West ' Madison street, just beyond Western avenue, , Was occupied on the ground floor by a George Green and family. Uypon the floor above the ' woman Mackey, who occasionally worked as a nurse, resided with her three children, . the place of her husband, who is tem- porarify absent in Iowa, being filled by drunken negro. In the garret of the house resided Miss Ellen Hackle, an employé of the West End Laundry. Aboutten days ago the suspicions of these parties began to be aroused by the frequency with which Dr, Cream visited the floor occupied by Mrs. Mackey, who, they knew, had some weeks previously taken to board with her.a myste- rious somebody in the shape of a pretty, and ladylike, and quite delicate-looking young white woman. visits were made thrice oa lay, and he brought vith him -parcels of a__ suspicious : Nature. Towards 4 o’clock on Fnday morn- * ing an unusual noise on Mrs, Mackey’s floor aroused Mr. Green, who, «rising, saw Mrs, : Mackey leaye the house, together with her hildren. In the afternoon; he went upon the second floor, but found the door to the * rooms locked, A horrible stench soon after- * wards began to pervade the rooms, and Mr. Green reported the occurrence to Lieut, : Steele, of the West Lake Street Snb-Sta- . tion, who broke in the door of Mrs. Mackey'’s room, where the decomposing remains of the negro nurse’s mysterious boarder were found lying upon a_ bed, and presented a sight which, combined with the odor, beat the officers back, and forced them to rush for the open air. A search of the premises revealed the fact that the unfor- tunate women’s name was Mary Anne Ma- tilda Faulkner, and that she came orig- inally from Ottawa, Capi- tal of the Dominion | of Canada, ‘The Lientenant obtained a fall natiendany i the physician who had been in attendan and in a short time arrested him at Whi Brothers’ drug store, at the corner of Hoyne and Madison streets. The colared woman was still missing, and as a note was discoy- ered at the druggists’ from her to Dr. Cream intorming him that the woman was dead, and that she was going away, it was feared that she had managed to leave town, but she was arrested yesterday afternoon and locked up in acell, a short distance from that contain- ing the alleged partner in the crime. ‘The Coroner was at once notitied, and yes- ost-Mortem examination terday afternoon « 6 unfortunate woman of the remains of was had.

The condition of the internal organs indicated pregnancy beyond all oul Yesterday cvenine 's reporter visited the West Lake Street Sub-Station, where he was permitted to converse, with the prisoners, who, not having had a chance to consult as to the best narrative to put forward, told contlicting stories, each accusing the other of being the criminal. The woman’s story was a very sensational one. She began it by stating that, having had occasion to employ Dr, Cream, she had become indeb! to him in the sum of $15, and that Sunday before last he visited her and made a propo- sition that she TAKE AS HER BOARDER ayoung lady friend of his. She objected strongly to doing so, but told the Doctor that, as she was in his debt, she did not see how she could refuse. She accordingly assented, and the next day the young woman visited her and 1 made arrangements to begin boarding with her on the following Wednesday, Aug. 11. She came as per agreement, and Dr. Cream’s isits began on’ the same day. When con- ; fidence was established between the two + women the negress’ boarder, who declined } to tell her name, stated that she was a | married woman who had been recently de- serted by her husband, and that, having gone to work, she discovered that she was enceinte | aud had determined to get rid of the child, | which would be an impediment in the way | of her earning her own living. ; that she had been handed upon State street | the card of a Dr. Geer, and that it in- ; duced her to visit. hin in order j to secure_ his aid in Drocuring. the } abortion. He advised her to go to Dr. Cream, ; who, he said, was in the abortion line of medical practice, arid, when she had not the necessary $5 to pay for this piece of pro- ! fessional advice, he departed from the ethics } of the guild far enough to enable him to 1 take the girl’s gold watch as security for } the debt. She stated that he went to Dr. : Cream, as advised, and found him pat to her purpose. He informed her t :he never lacked for want of comfortable and safe places to remove his patients, as he always made it a point to get poor people behind hand in their payments tw him, which being the case, he could easily put the screws on and thus induce them to make room for such persons as he chose to ask them to make room for. The Doc- tor’s visits continned, and Thursday before last he produced, when he en- , tered the house, certain instruments (the description. of the negress placing their identity as instruments employed in abortion beyond a doubt) which he ‘took with him into the room where his patient was staying. The negress declined to enter, and beyond * the moans of the victin, which indicated her . sufferings, she did not actually know what * took place in the chamber. An abortion fol- ' Jowed the visit, and the condition of the young ! woman grew steadily worse from that time. ‘The negress’ story from this point up to the - time of the victim’s death on Friday morn- Ing at Go’clock according to her, although + the hour was probably earlier, was_asicken- ing one, the description of the unfortunat woman’s sufferingsand of thestrenous efforts the Doctor made to stay the hand of death be- ing most horrible, As death drew near the * young woman relented of her purpose to ‘vithhold her name, and informed her nurse that itwas as given above,and that her ! mother, her only surviving parent, resided at : No, 181'St. Paul street, Ottawa, Canada. Towards the close of the tragedy, the ne- gress said, she made several attempts to in- : s! duce the doctor to allow her to get out of the : scrape which he had, she reminded him, | gotten into merely in order to square off the debt which she owed him. He was obdurate, however, and kept her supplied with whisky, with the aid of which she was enabled to continue her duties as nurse, which, even long before the young woman’s death, were rendered most trying by the intolerable odor which pervaded the place. After the death had occurred and she had * left the place and notified Dr. Cream of what had happened, he, she said, did his best to force her to return home and help him to get out of the trouble. She declined, however, | and on Friday he made her an offer of $30 , for her furniture.

N During the evening there called at the sub- | Station a couple of young women named Mrs. } Annie Beam and Mrs. Sarah Cook, residing at No, 10 East Fourteenth street, who stated that they were weil acquainted with the ‘ deceased, having .known her for four ; years. She had ‘lived for some time : in the same house with them when she worked for a family named ; Gransfield, at which time she kept company + with a young man named Billy McAdams, a cobbler, having a place of business on State street, near Thirteenth, She left this place j in the middle of May, when she went to live | with a family named Fainnan at Woodlawn, | 0! where she kept company with a young fellow named Tommy Burns. At each of these places she was very well thought of. | About six weeks ago she gave up her place ; at Woodlawn, informing her employers that | she was xoing to get married. Since then no ; trace of her was found until her corpse was : found in the den of the abortionist. | THE JEALOUS HUSBAND. i Friday evening the corner of Madison and ; State streets was enlivened by a fistic en-! counter between W. E. Dougherty and Dr. : D. G. Rush, one of the owners of the Chicago ; Alcoho] Works. Trouble has been brewing | between the two men for a long time, Mr. ! Dougherty claiming that the Doc-| tor has been. pursuing and dogging : Mrs. Dougherty by forcing his ‘ attentions, kindly services, and medical skill j upon her, notwithstanding that he has been | frequently warned to desist and keep away | from the house both day and night. The ; trouble between Mr. Dougherty and his | wife had taken shape in a divorce suit com- menced some months ago, and it was jus Rush has been paying that caused the disruption, Nothing has been done so far in the suit, which was con menced by Mrs. Dougherty through her at- torney, Jarvis Blume. Butacontinuation of the kindly attentions from outside persons ' has put an end to all hopes for a happy ter- mination of the difficulties. One week azo last Saturday night Mr, Dougherty saw Dr. Rush at the corner of Morgan and Mad- ison _ streets keeping a close eye upon Mrs. Dougherty and Mr. Blume, with whose family she is lying. After dogging them about for some time, Mr. Dougherty says that he saw Dr. Rush take up a position - in the shadow of a tree, whereupon he rushed upon him and violently assaulted him. - Dr. Rush had therefore only just recovered, when he was again assaulted Friday . evening. A policeman coming up at the time of the fight, Mr. Dougherty was ar-- rested, and Dr. Rush was obliged to leave $5 . deposit for his appearance at the Armory. Yesterday when the case was called before - Justice Wallace the prosecution was ready, : buta continuance was taken until Wednes- | day next at 2 o’clo Immediately there- after Mrs. Dougherty swore out a warrant before Justice Brown charging her husband with having assaulted her some time ago. - Ag Mr, Blume appeared for Dr, Rush, and _ piloted Mrs, Dougherty to Justice Brown's « court, the connection is apparent. in ie day Mr. Dougherty swore out awarrant before Justice Hudson chare- ing David G.

It is now certain that the case will receive what all the i : both were unwilling to speak on the ue fal ‘a “stool-pigeon” in the emrlo: Later , street last Wednesday by Detectives Ring- Tose and Amstein, who gave the name of James Wilcox, was identified as an expert professional bank sneak and hotel thief named Williams. Upwards of $200 cash was found upon his person. He __ only a short time out of Sing Sing Prison, and has served terms in_the Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York State Prisons. His “mug” was taken for the police gallery, ‘and he was then fined $100 and given twelve hours to leave town. Tony Martin and his “pal” in the bunko line, a fellow known as the ‘t White-headed .”” were also assessed $100 each, and in de- fault of payment were sent to the House of Correction. ‘Tony isa Southern professional, who came here in 1878 to escape the yellow- fever. Both he and his companion were pals ‘of “Snapper John,” who was sentenced j; from Milwaukee. Also of Tom Ward, alias “Nobby Tom,” who was with them when Detectives Ender and Long, who made the arrest, sighted them last Sunday in the Grand Pacific Hotel. Tom escaped, and the ; Whitehead made an excellent endeavor to | getaway. He ran up-stairs in the hotel, and thence took the elevator down-stairs again, and, running out of the Jackson-street en- trance, fot as far as the corner of Van Buren and Clark streets when he was capt- ured, Tony Martin was picked up Monday morning by Detectives Longergan and Ryan. In his pocket was a letter from a St. Louis confidence man asking if he hada “joint” fixed here yet, and asking hin to telegraph whenever. the “joint” was ready, The “joint” is a place where such charie- ters can meet, plan jobs, and rob victims without fear of molestation by the police. There are numerous * joints” in Chicago. William Austin, alias French Paddy, was held in $500 to the Criminal Court for pick- ing the pocket of Mr. R. P.

Hugh said he had enough of crooked life. and wanted to live. honestly. Te is well known in the North Division, where he reared a large family, almost every member of which turned out bad. A niore important man than any of the above fs to brought before Justice Wallace Monday. Fis name is John Cook, and he was captured by the Bad aot o e olice who asked him to meet him at the Paliner House last Thursday night. Cook has been an expert sneak and hotel thief for years, but he is getting old and dissipated, and is plainly enough on the downward path. Many years ago Cook was a West Division burglar, and, one night when he was caught going through a house, shot a politeman. For this he got ten sears in the Penitentiary, but was pardoned out after serving four years. . Ife changed his tactics from this time on, and became a sneak, He trained with such men as Tracy, James Panes, “Mollie Matches,” Tenine, and Joe Parish. Some five years ago Papes and he were awarded four years each in Canada for a $10,000 rob- bery, but, after serving two years, they managed to secure a pardon. About three Years‘ago Cook was implicated with Joe Parish, ‘Tenine, and others in a $9,000 sneak at Denver, Colo. Parish was arrested in that_city, but Cook and the others escaped to Columbus, O., where they were rear- Tested. “The case was settled by restoring the : switch “my dress right into the footiights, : when IT began.

The ‘‘stool-pigeon” who caused the arrest told the officials at Central Statiomthat Cook hada false eye. The most amusing comedy ever seen was enacted there upon Cook’s ar- rival, The glass eye bafiled thei all for along time, and though they put the prisoner to every test they conld plan, they could not detect the eye, The prisoner finally explained that the eye was set on the nerve, and that. it turned and moved in sympathy with he other and natural eye, “Ah!” said the wiseacres, It is safe to say that not a m&n vn the police force knew Cook; they don’t know much anyway.

New York Correspondence Cincinnatt Enquirer. You have had so many dissertations on men dressmakers for women that the idea, has ceased to be a novelty; but never until recently did 1 know that there was sucha thing as women dressmakers for men. This new branch of the trade I discovered in cail- ing on a theatrical dressmaker. While she was showing me some new dresses, just fin- ished, a young and rather good-looking man was ushered in. He seemed a little dis- concerted at the sight of a third party, but the modiste waved him to a seat with the re mark: “I will be ready to try your dress on in a few moments, Mr. Wally.” *Do you mean to say you make dresses for gentlemen ?” I asked in my suprise. “ Oh, yes; for the best female personators we have on the stage, of whom Mr. Wally is one,” replied the little dressmaker, as bright as Jem y Wren without her lameness. * But is it pleasant work 2” was asked. “Business is business, and beside that I as- sure you there need be no impropriety. The gentlemen wear an unstarched shirt, Hnen trousers with a stiff white skirt, and corsets over them. Some of them do lace awfully! The padding that I know will be necessary is already fastened in the lining and the dress is soon fitted. Ihave just.finisned a fancy costume for this gentleman, and when he has it on Iwill get him to come in and let you see how it looks.” In a few minutes she returned with her customer, who scemed to have lost about half his proportions, and if ithad not been for the short hair parted at the side I shoald have thought myself looking at a very hand- some woman, though decidedly pronounced in style. The dress was of pink satin, not the most costly in quality, and made with a long train that the wearer managed very well. It was lavishly trimmed with lace and flowers, but fittea like wax on the figure, while not an, outline revealed it to be a man’s. The elbow sleeves were made of lace, but so heavily worked that while they showed a white skin beneath they revealed the tell-tale muscles, The corsage was artfully ent, closed tight at the throat, and then cut away beneath in the inverted V shape which Mod- jeska used so much in her toilets. This style covered the part of the neck that could bear exposure, and, what was displayed, powder made very presentable. “Tt must have been rather difficult to learn. how to manage a train and carry yourself,” remarked your correspondent to the wearer of the pink toilet, | “Yes, it was,” said he, ‘and I used to Zar. on fire that way.

Coroner Mann yesterday concluded the inquest upon Mike Fieming, who was shot dead by Freeman F.Gross. The first jury having disagreed, a second jury was impan- eled a5 follows: Dr. V. C. Secord, B. F. ; Green, C. C. Ireland, E. C. Cole, 3. Hil- denbeutel, and J. W. Fernold. They heard all the testimony of all the: witnesses at the West Twelfth Street Sta- tion yesterday afternoon, and returned a yerdict stating the facts and the find- ing that the shots were fired in self-de- fense, and recommended the release of the prisoner. This was not unexpected, the first + jury having stood four for acquittal and two for conviction. The evidence was in. full conformity with all that has been published | concerning the case in these columns. I. D. Brown appeared for the Fleming family, and A, S. Trude on behalf of Mr. Gross. ALLEGED MURDER. i } | Shortly after 3 o’clock this morning Officer ; Quinlan brought to the Twenty-second Street | Station a young man named James McCor- | mick, who is charged with having thrown his : bedfeliow, in a boarding-house at No. 153 Eighteenth street out of a three-story win- ; dow, thereby causing injuries which several ; physicians say must prove fatal, McCormick denies it. The injured nan identified him, and gave him back the lie. The cause is un- known; also, the injured man’s name. THE JUSTICES. ‘Weston Hulbert, a book publisher doing business at No. 318 State street, yesterday vaused —the arrest of one Ernest Jager, upon acharge of misrepresentation, whereby during the past six months he has seeued. money, board, and personal property to quite - an amount. Jager, it is alleged, told tales of . his great wealth to the book dealer, who finally sought to get back some of the money advanced to the soft-spoken Jager. In: this he was unsuccessful, being put off with stories about one Arkley, of New York, whom dager reported as having $90,- 00 in money, the sole property of bimsel Hulbert says le finally realized that he was being swindled, and had Jager taken before Justice Liammer, who continued the case tn- til Wednesday iu bond of $1,000.

The two men who crossed the Main “street bridge, and who are under arrest, planned the burglary and got Powers to as- sist them, as he knew the location of the rooms in the house. The reason Corrigan’s house was selected in preference to any other was because the two men who crossed over from the’West Division were perfect- ly well’ aware that Mrs. Corrigan had sold property only the day before. They heard she had received $2,560 cash for It, but the amount was much smaller. The names of the prisoners are James, alias “ Binco”’ Powers, John Callahan, and Henry Pierson. The _ former, is identified by Officer Enwright as the one who fired the shot; Caifahan is partially identified as one of the burglars, and it is be- Jieved that both he and Pierson can be iden- tified as the men who crossed the bridge.
