done at six o'clock in the evening, and
there were several spectators who
thought il case Of suicide and ran for
ropes and graphing irons, but were
astonished to find the youth whom they
went to rescue sitting comfortably on
top of o rock to which he had swan.
Hearing OF the feat two other young
men, expert swimmers-William Ro-
selle, of Mill street, and Thomas bowl.
ing, OF Marshall street, aged respect
lively Is and 20 years-went up quietly
one night last week and did the feat
successfully. Yesterday afternoon these
same tive young men were at the falls,
and were seen standing on the bridge
for long time, as If contemplating its
repetition, but no one appeared to pay
any particular attention to them. They
waited until there Was large throng Of
pectators-several hundred OF the
falls, as usual on Sunday afternoons,
and then went to neighboring saloon
for drink, and then returned to the
bridge. Their evident intention was
apparently to create sensation. There
was then an unusually large throng
about the falls and several hundred
persons near the bridge. Then they
suddenly clambered upon the high
railing, without divesting themselves
of their clothing, and startled the spec
tators by giving wild whoop and
plunging out into theiair, On their way
to the water, fully eighty feet below.
William Roselle went down perpendic-
ular, or straight as an arrow, and went
under the water with q sharp .swoot, 4"
like sharp-edged stone. He arose to
the surface like porpoise and swan
for the shore overhanded. Thomas
Bowling made o misstep or slip as he
jumped, and turned over several times
before he struck the water, square on
his stomach, with loud splash. He
sank slowly to the bottom, and rose no
more. It is supposed that the fall of
eighty feet, and striking on his stom-
ach, knocked all the breath out of his
body, SO that he became unconscious.
Great excitement prevailed, and such
a multitude crushed upon the bridge
over the chasm that there was danger
that it would break. So the police
drove the people off. Persons fiocked
to the scene until three or four thou.
sand people blackened the edges of the
precipice. A large searching party had
failed to recover the body up to 1880
o'clock last night. The affair created
the greatest sensation Of anything that
has happened in Paterson in y long
York Sun.
