The recovery of the body of Diver hours William Hoar, after ninety-fouof vigil over the waters of the river dam at lloonton, N. J., ended the suspense In one of the most remarkable of cases. It Is probhours able that Hoar lived twenty-onunder the water that much Is surr Rock-awa- y o mised from the signals. The strugglo to reloaso him, hour after hour, was full of Incident, heroism, and sadness. Every effort was made to save him. It was generally acknowledged that Hoar was the victim of his own Indiscretion. It was a tremendously ticklish job he was sent to do. He himself reported, after twotrIps he made to the bottom, that he had never been on such a scary Job In his life before, but that he had things fixed down below that he had no fear of any further accident. Story of the Accident. sluice In the middle of a four-foo- t pipe, at the bottom of a shaft running straight from the top of the dam to the bottom, Is a gate valve by which the quantity of the water In the dam Is to be regulated. This valve got out of order after the dam bad been filled up. It stuck so that the gates were eighteen Inches apart apd could not be opened or closed. An expert from tbo works In Troy where the valve was made, came out and worked over it for a week. The valve could not be bulged. It became necessary to shut oft the flow of water at the mouth of the pipe. Now, the pipe does not begin at the dam Itself, but runs out under water for a hundred feet and opens on a cement platform fifteen feet squaro. . Tbo mouth of the pipe Is In a perpendicular wall which rises ten feet above the platform. To close the oponlng effectively this plan was A great ball, made of wood, fifty-twInches In diameter, or four inches larger that the Inlet opening in the apron, was weighted with lead and lowered toward the opening. It was hoped that the surtton would catch the ball, draw it Into the hole and cut off the flow of water through the pipe. At the first attempt the ball broke away from the rope by vhlch It was lowered. Chief Engineer George G. Harness, who had devised the plan. Rent to J. S. Rundlck, master diver, for a diver. Rundlck sent out Bill Hoar, who fonnd the ball on the bottom of the dam and connected It again with The lowering cable. The ball was lowered again, and this time rollod into the Inlet opening, and was caught by the suction. Rut the water did not stop flowing from the outlet pipe on the other side of the dam. It came out tn a diminished volume, but still In a torrent which made It out of the question to attempt to reach the broken valve which was making all the trouble. Bill Hoar was sent for again, to find out what was wrong. When ho came up he reported that a five-inchawser, which had been tied Into one end of the b.i'. to make It easier to handle, had gof In 'etween the downstream side of the ball and the bottom of the pipe and kept the opening from being closed altogether. There was a consultation of engl-neeand It was decided to try to fill the crevices between the sides and bottom of the ball and the edges of the pipe with sand bags; for Hoar had reported that any diver who attempted to reach, the jammed rope or to cut It would be drawn In and crushed to death by the suction. Hoar went down with eight sand hags. He came to the surface and said that ho had stopped all leakngo on one side of the bull and that there was no suction on that sldo to o h speak of. With more sand bags ho went down again, and when he came up ho said that there was now no danger at all In walking around on the platform, although there were several crevices through which tho racing waters tugged mighty hard at everthlrg within He thought that three more reach. hags would close them. At about 2 oclock he started on the trip from which he did not return. Charley Dobson, who haa worked with Hoar for years and with whom the diver had a code of signals which nllow'ed them to understand one another by Jerks of the rope as clearly ns though they were face to tare m try land, bags 300 feet out Into the dam on a boat and sunk them. Then the men on the raft took one end of the rops and Bill Olsen took the other down and tied it about Bill Hoars waist. It was hoped that when the men above pulled their strength would draw Hoar away from the pips toward the middle of the reservoir, and so free him. Rut the cement hags dragged In toward the Imprisoned man. Ilo wa3 more firmly fastened than the anchor. After Bill Olson wcnt down again, and again. At about' 9 oclock tho next morning 900 feet of Inch and a half rope were laid out from the nearest shore to the float and a team of four horses was attached to it. Olsen took down the end of the rope and tied It to a bight around Bill Hoar, who was still ahle to' move and to shake his hand. The horses were Btarted. The rope broke. Then and there tn the hearts of the engineers ended all real hope of ever getting BUI Iloar out alive. Olsen cams up quite delirious and quite unable to do anything more. Dut on the early train came John Myers, Bill Hoars closest friend and companion for fifteen years. Fresh and full of hope, he was sure h could get Hoar up. He went down at 10 oclock. lie found that Hoar had managed to pull himself up to tbs side of the ball and was resting against It He did not believe Hoar recognized him. I knew well enough, he said, that he couldnt hear me. But, seeing him so, I caught myself saving: Bill! Bill! Say, get a move! Well get you up! He moved one arm a ll'tle. I straightened him out and pulled and hauled. But It was no use. I went back up." lnr-tea- William Hoar, Bill speaking, held the lifeline. Hoar had not been down more than fifteen minutes before he signaled over the lifeline with three jerks of Haul away," was Dobthe rope. sons Interpretation of the signal. He knew something must have gone wrong, for Hoar had not been down nearly long enough to put In place all of the sand bags he had with It him. He hauled on the rope. But he could not bring tightened. the diver up an Inch. He pulled with all his might. Bill Keech left Conners to run the pump for a moment and grabbed the lifeline. It did not budge an Inch. "Walt a bit, signaled Dobson, with one twitch of the rope. All right said the diver, Ill wait, twitching the rope once In reThen again, a moment later, ply. he signaled with three twitches, Haul away! For haf an hour the signals passed back and forth. Every few minutes the men on the raft would haul with all their might and main, until they wore afraid of breaking the rope. They could not move It. Then came a steady twitching of the rope. Bill says he wants a diver there to help him, shouted Dobson. A message was Immediately sent to New York for a diver. It was then 3 o'clock. By 4 o'clock there was a special train going out of Hoboken with Bill Olsen, one of the best divers, on board, a full divers equipment, and a crew of helpers. Bill Ol3cn's special rolled Into the Boonton yards at a minute or two before 5 o'clock. Just as soon as might be, or In about two hours (the thing cannot be done In less time, divers say), Olsen was In his suit, with hts pump running aud hts lines coiled, and was on his way down to find out what was the matter with Bill Hoar. Finally Olsen signaled to be drawn up. This was his story: He was down on the cement platform. up against the wall, half leaning over the pipe. It a as so dark 1 couldn't make out much, hut I took hold of him and put my helmet up close and shouted, 'Hey, Bill! And then I shouted again, Just that way, Hey, you Bill!' I could hear that Rill was shoutin' hack, though I couldn't no more tell what he was snyln' than he could tell what I was sayln'. But 1 could see that he know who I was and he put out his band and shook lands with me. I knew then he was glad lo see me, understand. He put my hand down to his hut leg and it was sucked down Into the middle of a lot of sund bags. "Ilo made motions to show he had kicked It In, kickin' a sand bag into place nnd tryln' to keep back out of tho suck. Rut tho suck had caught hint aud was holding him I got litm around tho stomach and ,ulled and ho braced Ills leg against that damn hall and wo both shoved for all we knew bow. Rut It wasn't mo go. Then I took my knife and clashed Into tho sand bags. ThlnKlu', understand. that letting the sand out of them would loose his foot. Rut It wasn't the bags, It waa the suck; and the more they were loosed the more his foot went In. So I quit that and cunte up." It was for but a llttlo time that Bill Olsen stayed on the surface, Hts rcimrt as to tho lay of things at tho bottom gave Mr. Harness a plan at once. Ho sent for a block and tackle. To this he tied a great bundle He ran a rope through of and the l.h'sW nnd sent the bundle of Students Not Deep Bible Readers.

Apropos of tho retirement of Senator Stewart of Nevada at the close of his present term In March. 1905, the story tellers at the capitol say this Is the best anecdote about him: Years ago a colleague, exasperated by some action of the late Senator Plumh of Kansas, came to Stewart and said: Dont you think Plumb Is the meanest. most contemptible, most ornery, most useless and altogether cussedest No, sir!" thunman In the senate? dered Stewart.
