Jumper Donovan's Injuries.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 8.-Donovan, who
ieaped from the suspension bridge yester-
day morning, passed restless night, suf-
fering considerable pain from the injury to
his chest, sustained by striking the water
diagonally. Friends who sat up with him
dur ng the night say that he slept but little,
and at times moaned as il in pain. The
physicians say, however, that the danger
to their patient lies no SO much in his in
juries as to his liability to an attack Of
pneumonia or pleurisy, owing to his ex-
posure in the icy water.
