An awful tragedy was enacted at Niagara Falls, N. Y., on last Sunday, when three persoua iloated to their death on ice. The great ice bridge, that haa choked the river channel between the Cataract and the upper steel arch bridge, below the Falls, for the last three weeks, broke from Its shoring just at noon Sunday, and wont down the river, taking with it to their death a man and a woman, / believed to bo Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Stanton, of Toronto, Canada, and Burrcll Heacock, 17 years of age, of Cleveland, O. Four other persons were on the ice at tho time, but man aged to get ashore in asfety. The bridge was considered perfect.ly safe. For weeks the great fields of ice" had been coming down the riv.. er, piling up against the barrier, until it was from GO to 80 feet thick, and under the influence of zero weather had become firmly anchored .to the shore. Tho jam was about 1,000 feet in length, and in some places a quarter of a mile in breadth. Fpr two weeks it bad offered safe passngo to the hardy and today an immense crowd of excursionists came lo view the winter wonder of the river. Had the accident happened un hour Inter in the day hundreds would have lost tneir lives, lor me crowu was moving into Prospect Park in the elevators that run down the cliff leading to the ice. On the bridge at the time it tore free from the shore besides <hese three were Monroe Gilbert, of Niagara; Ignatius Roth, of Cleveland, lleacock's companion, William Hill, .^n old riverman; Wm. Lablond, rivejinan, and an unidentified Italian. Mill, nearest to the American shore, heard the grinding and crashing of the ice, and ran at top speed towards the Canadian shore, calling to the others to follow him. Lablond gave them warning that safety lay in 'that direction. Gilbert and the Italian followed their lead. By the time they had regained their composure the bridge v/as moving fast clown the river. The man and woman started first towards the American shore, hut they were stopped by a lake of open water. Back they ran again towards the Canadian side, "turned about and made for the American si'le. When hardly more than ?0 yards from the rocky shore the L "woman fell on her face, utterly spent. "I can't go on; I can't go on," she cried. "Let us die here." And all the time the great Feld of ice, driven onward by a southwest gale and pressed by a jam broken free from its- anchorage near the base of the horseshoe Falls, went on. Ab the woman fell the man strove to drag I her along the ice, calling for assistance to Roth and Keacock. Roth struggled along over the hummocks of ice, getting close to the open stretch of water at the Canadian end of the jam. There were men on the shore ready to give him assistance. Lablond, Hill William Cook end Superintendent Harry King, of the Ontarion Power Company, stationed themselves at the edge of the water. Roth was afraid to trust himself to the icy waters. Lablond .lumped out to the Peld of ice with a rope and half carried, half dragged the boy ashore. Word that the Ice bridge had gone out flashed through the city like wildfire and within a short time the j American shore of the river was lined ^ l>y thousands of people, who witnessed the tragedy being enacted in the deep ravine belo^ them. After petting Ttoth safeiy ashore the men made an effort to reach the others three on the ice floe. The moving j floe, with the throb helpless beings, I passed slowly down tho rlvor. Meantime, the f! 10 headquarters' f truck ha 1 been called out and a gen< )1 alarm of fire cn the Canadian f.-ide called out tho men there. JThey took station with topes along the.i nliore, but the floe was far beyond their reach. The Niagara avenue firemen were sent to tho lower steel 8 rich bridge and there took station with a rope. Tho Canadian firemen had two ropes down from the cantl- 1 lever bridge, which is about .100 yards < above tho other structure. i .Just above the whirlpool rapids i tho floo on which the three wero 1 borne broke into two parts, the manji and woman on one. Heaeock on the!1 ^ other. IToacock waved his hand t.o (i his companions in distress as His noo raced down the river. The other Hoe < then shot towards ?hc? American shore 1 whirled wit hi? sight of the tumbling | waters that marked the beginning ofji the rapids?and death. |l TTeacock saw the ropes dangling 11 from the bridge and made ready to1, catch one. Very coolly he took off j his overcoat and poised himself on ' the tossing Hoe. In his course there 1 dangled one rope and a second was < I EMUS I V A RIOT NEGHO FANATIC AND HIS DUPES WERE LOCKED UP.

The News and Courier says Fridaj night Policeman Hoiesberge while or duty at the corner of Meeting anc Columbus streets heard cries oi "Help! Help! Police! Murder.' Plowing his whistle the policemar hurried to a house on Columbus srreet, just west or Meeting, wiien.ce (ho cries came, llo found the outei door locked and tried to force it, bui could not, so turned away to get as sistance. As ho did so a shower ol rocks came after him. After breaking into the house, the policeman found a colored man whe terms himself "Jesus," with four ol his disciples and twenty women, holding a religious meeting. The negrc fanatic is alleged to have had some of those women imprisoned in the house for several weeks. The police patrol with the reserves answered Policeman Ilolesberge's call and the whole party were lodged in jail. The man who terms himself "Jesus" has been holding religious meetings about the cky for some months and seems to have acquired a large following among the negroes. He claimed' to have superhuman powen and to be able to work spells. 11 seems that he sought chiefly to save the souls of women, and had Induced a number to leave their husbands and stay with him. Night after nighl these meetings have been held, and each night they have become mor< fanatical until last night the participants made such a disturbance thai it was thought time to interfere. When Policeman Holesberge Aral answered the call for help, he was driven away by a shower of rocks Later he returned and forced hii way into the building, and then, it it said, the negroes tried to lock him up, so that lie could not report them However, he had sent In an alarm and noon help canio.

He caught thai one held by Ofllcer Pat Kelly, of the Ontarion police force, and a company of about, twenty railroad men, caughl it and jumped free of the ice.

Not content with tho effortB of the men above io draw him up, he tried to assist himself hand over hand. Tho time was 1:10 o'clock, and tho hour or more the boy had been In the ice an.l the effect of the icy duckling had sapped his strength, TTo stopped and hung limp on the rope, which spun him around like a top. Kelly and his men pulled steadily. Tho great crowd 011 the bridgei cheered?those that were not weeping. Grimly the coy hung on, trying always to get himself or his leg wound about the rope. Then his hands began to S:'ip. He sought to get bold of tho rope with his teeth, but could not. T."* 1 11.. 4 A. 1 ~ .1 ririany, juhl an no was sixty icel of (ho water his head fell hark.

The Volunteer Crew, Sealed Up In Their Tiny Vessel, Perish Within Her as She Settles to the liottom of the Ocean With Wide Kcnd in i Cl/1? % D1UU. A cablegram from Portmouth, England, says tho total loss Friday f morning of the British submarine "A 3" with all her crew, after col} lision with the gunboat Hazard, adds j another to the long list of similar f accidents which have in recent years thrown tho British navy arid nation } into mourning. ^ The crew of 11 men on board the ^ little vessel, which is one of the older I class, was composed of volunteers from tho men of the fleet, as is the } custom with the complements of all submarines The men, in spite of hazardous na- | ture of tho service, like the work and volunteer in large numbers to be de[ tailed to the submarine flotillas. ; The submarine "A 3" which went | ' out of tho harbor this morning to ^ carry out a series of diving and tor- ' pcdo exercises, sank like a stone imI mediately after her collision with the gunboat Hazard. i f A big escape of gas which was obI served on the surface immediately after she sank indicates that tho vessel quickly filled with water. The submarine lies on the Princess Shoal, almost on the same spot where . the submarine "A 1" was lost with ' all hands on March 1 8, 1904. [ Torpedo practice had been in progress for some time. The submarine "A 8" was partially submerged when ' she came into collision with the gunboat Hazard. The gunboat was steaming at a fairly high rate of ( speed and when she struck the submarine her bows cut a big rent in the little vessel's side. f As the "A 3" settled down, air and gas bubbles appearing on the j surface told the crew of the Hazard that she was filling with water. I It was practically certain that the 1 fate of the two officers and nine men , of which her crew was composed was 1 ; sealed. The Hazard, however, threw , out life buoys and launched boats In r case any of the men should succeed in escaping, but none of them came ' to the surface. ; i Brush submarines belonging to tho \ r "A" class have been singularly unfor- J j tunate. In an explosion on the " 5" r six men were killed and 12 injured at ! Queenstown on February 16, 1 905. 3 , The "A 8" ?nk off Plymouth on June ' , 8, 1 905, when fourieen men out of ' her crew of 18 lost their lives.

Seven of the crew k of the "A 1" were injured by an ex. plosion on August G, 1910. i This class of boat is a single screw submersible of a modified Holland ; type, with a length of 100 feet and a ; bftam of 12 feet 8 inches.
