a Sensible View oft.

The man who jumped from the Brooklyn
Bridge Saturday was arraigued at the bar of
the Tombs Police Court that afternoon. The
courtroom was filled with friends of the
jumper. Judge Duffy questioned Bridge
Policeman Fitzgibbons, who could not say
that Donovan had jumped from tho bridge.
His attention was attracted by number of
vehicles stopping on their way over the
bridge and their drivers looking down into
the water.
Train Conductor Michael Gilroy said tina t
he saw two pair of legs between the tires OF
an Adams Express wagon, and that one ofthe
pairs disappeared from view over the side
of the bridge. He saw no person jump and
saw no face. Consequently he could not
recognize the prisoner.
Did YOU see him hang by his hands and
let himself drop2" asked Justice Duffy OF
the policeman.
mo"
''Did any one see him Jump"
No" replied both of the officers and the
conductor.
"Tnen what is there" said Justice Duffy,
"to show that this man Donovan is not q
fraud? He may have got few men to get 10
a boat and row out under the bridge, and
had his friends make great ado and say
that man had jumped from the bridge,
and they had come to his rescue. My opin-
ion is that he never jumped from the bridge.
think it is ruse, a subterluge, and
fraud
Donovan then said he had made the jump,
and the justice promptly ordered the police
man to make charge against the prisoner
of impeding the traffic on the bridge.
When the case was again brought up JUS
tice Duffey again reiterated the opinion that
the man was fraud, "but," said be. this
thing of jumping off high places, going over
cataracts at Niagara, etc., by Icons must be
stopped. There is no heroism il this jump.

now prevalent, go around, and live in idle

The situation at East 1t. Louis.

The switch engines in the Yards are busy
and resumption of busincS, seems nor.

The great drawback and the principal one
TO the various companies in fully resuminy
is the inability of the ST. Louis Bridge
Company and the Bel. Line to afford >,iii-
cient transferring facilities across ,h,
bridge and river and from the icvcc to the
various yards. The Bridge Company EN-.
ployed Il few more new men recently, but
cannot do all the business required of it,

uuire sixteen switchnen on the cas-, side
of the river TO do the necessary, work and

HOME RULE,
Review ut the Debate on (sl,,,lston.'s pu,,,
OSitiDn.

A London cable says: Twenty.tour
hours Of reflection and consultation, have
tended to confirm the belief that Glad.
stones speech has gone far to unite the
English Radicals on his Irish programme,
but it has also been made clear that ti,s.
Wing revolt is more serious than has lat
terly been thought. So far as popular in.
dications go, they are with Mr.. Gladstone
The provincial Liberal papers az whole,
accept the scheme with fewer protests ant.
reservations than was expected. Oi
course the London press are dead against it.
Of the thirteen dailies here. only the .At7:,.
approves the bill. The comments Of the
others range from the violent anatl,ema,
Of the Times to the Concerted patronage Of
the I'M Mail Gazette. All are hostile.
You can understand as well as il they
were cabled that they are the old and trits.
arguments OF the Troy and landlord press.
but the objections oddly enough. mostly
center on the proposal to remove the Irish
members from Westminster. The Irish
themselves, realizing how successful their
efforts to he disagrecable have been, are
filled with astoni>hmcnt that the English
do not leap at the chance to be rid of them.
But the chief hitch thus far seems to be,
this very point The Engli>hman by SLOW
stages has arrived ut the point where he
can tolerate the idea OF giving til, Irisl.
a sort of toy Parliament for domestic use,
provided it be kept, over in Ireland, bu. he
stands disnayed at the proposition to alter
the existing condition OF things ut st.
Stephens right under his nose This he
feels would be a visible sign Of all sorts of
evils, vaguely Jumped in the phrase '.di>.
ruption OF the Empire" The speeches in
the House OF Commons lately have con-
triboted little to the elucidation Of the
problem. The absorbing topic is the tiasco
Of Chamherlain's speech. lie was less
fluent than usual, and then the tlippancy Of
manner, doubly notable in contrast to the
deep, almost devotional carnestness of
o1">aS.on" induced a~itical spirit in III.
auditors. His brief passage at arms with
! Gladstone over his letter with the latter
disconnected him, and when he deveope,s
| his own childish scheme for a National
| Council, the thing was met with such hon.
est dcrison on both sides of the House
| that all chance ot effective speech was lost.
| When he sat down the Tories set ny per.
tunc,orv little cheers. Chamberlain stock,
which has been declining since February,
has gone clear out OF reach The Mar
quis OF harrington on the contrary made Il.
strong, temperate, wciyhty speech, probu-
bly, the best Of his life aud the irish are
afraid OF its effect ON the waverin. minds
of both parties. 1t is well understood
the that Marquis of Salisbury has succeeded
in whipping in almost all the mutnou>
Tories. 1t is regarded as probable now that
not more than three OF four will vote for
the bill though some others may absent
themselves.
