OVER THE FALLS IN A BARREL.
Woman Accomplished the Foolhardy Feat Yesterday.
Niagara Falls, New York, October 24.
Mrs. Annie Edson Taylor, 50 years old, went over Niagara Falls on the Canadian side this afternoon and survived, a few never before accomplished and never attempted except in a deliberate commission of sucide. She made the trip in a barrel, Not only did she survive, but ascaped with out a broken bone, her only apparent injury being a scalp wound one and a half inches long, a slight concussion of the brain, some shock to her nervous system and brulses about the body.
