He Proposes to Fly Through Space Sus-
pended from the Handle of an Umbrella.
Bradford (Pa.) Special.
The Kinzua viaduct, eighteen miles from
Bradford, on the line of the New York. Lake
Erie d Western railroad, is the highest
bridge in the world. The structure, which
is entirely of iron, is 2,052 fset long, and the
stream, which looks like a silver thread be-
low, is S01 feet. A drug clerk in this city,
julius Behling, is making a series of expert
ments, which, if successfully carried out,
will certainly give him a niche in the temple
of fame. Mr.. Behling procured a strong
umbrella with bamboo ribs, and one night
in July mounted the rail of a bridge, and.
opening his umbrella, stepped off into
space. The distance to the water was per-
haps fifteen feet. He went down easily and
landed in about three feet OF water. He then
made up his mind to startle the world by
jumping off the great Kinzua viaduct On
Wednesday last he went to the bridge with
an excursion party, and, s%tationing himself
on the structure at its highest point, trem-
blingly opened a cotton umbrella. There
was no breeze. Behling carefully adjusted
the umbrella and let it drop. 1t did not
capsize, but when half way down it started
off in a southerly course, and was soon lost
to sighti in the dense forest which skirts the
valley. The next day Behling robbed his
neighbor of a tom cat, which he carefully
slowed away in a bag and took to the big
bridge. The cat was fastened to the handle
of strong umbrella and was sent on n trip
from the top of the bridge. The weight of
the animal acted as a balance and it and the
umbrella went down slowly and landed
without injury. Mr.. Behling proposes TO
construct a large and extra strong umbrella,
and unless the authorities prevent will go to
the TOP of the bridge, open the umbrella and
lump of.

The Breach of prom,s. Case.


In the trial of the McPheeters Blacksom
breach of promise case, yesterday, the morning
was consumed in reading depostions of the at
t0rneys for the defendant bearing upon the
character of Miss McPheeters for truth and We
racity, the tendency of the evidence being to
show thather reputation was not regarded as
good. In the sworn statements which were
read it was said that Miss McPheeters had been
seen in company with william H. Ayers, a man
whose reputation for morality was not regarded
as good, and that she had wern ring in which
were engraved the initials of her own name and
that of Amos Murphy. which the defense offer
as proof of the engagement which they allege
existed between them st the time Blaoksom was
expected Co mary her. Mrs. Martha
Gerard swore that in September, 1878,
Ayers stopped ut hotel which she
keeps at Palestine, Ill.,, with a woman whom he
represented as his wife, but who she now be-
iieves was Miss McPheeters. Ia the afternoon
RlaeGsom, the defendant, was placed on the wit
ness stand. He said that he had never made a
marriage proposal to Miss McPheeters, but on ce
she had mention ed to him that there was some
talk about their intimate association, and asked
If he did not think that 1t would be best for
them to regard themselves as engaged, which,
he claims, he neither approved nor objected to.
There are in all over 100 witnesses to be exam
iued, andthe testimony will probably not all be
taken before the last OF the week.
