A TERRIBLE FALL.
A Man Jumps From the Middle
span OF the brooklyn bridge.

New YoRK, July 23.-At . o'clock
this afternoon, Stephen Brodie, a
bootblack, % years old, who is en-
ployed in the Mills Building, jumped
from tho Brooklyn Bridge at the
center span into the East river, He
was tished out and taken to police
station, apparently uuinj ured. Brodie
was long time newsboy, and later
on pedestrian. Some shoIt time ago
he went on the freebooling expedi.
ton to South America.
Shortly after 2 o'clock a wagon was
noticed passing over the bridge with
two men riding on it. Something
about ono OF the men attracted the
notice Of Police Officer Lally, and he
watched the wagon as it went on.
When aboHt 100 feet east OF the New
York tower, one of the men stood up
and took his coat Of, looked around,
and sa'd to the driver, "Well, here
goes for luck" He stepped from the
wagon TO the rail, and without hest.
taung moment he Jumped of. The
man fell down straight to the water,
l2O feet below, striking in bunch,
but with his feat first. He sank from
sight aud reappeared q moment later
with both hands on his chest, rs il in
pain, A skifi, which was near at
hand, rapidly came up and its occu.
rants took the man in. The boat was
pulled TO the foot of Dover street and
landed. In the meantime three
bridge police officers had run around
and down TO the pier. They arrested
the man. He did not seem TO be
much injured by his terrible fall, and
walked along without any assistance,
followed by a mob Of cheering boys
and men.

CORRESPONDENTS or THE APPEAL,
NASHVILLE, TENN, July 22.--Tbe
crops ia Middle Tennessee are much
better than they we're expected TO be.
The general rains did not injure them
as much as it was feared they would.
Nashville is growing steadily, but
not very rapidly, owing to her want OF
railroad facilities. While the Louis.
vile and Nashville and the Nashville
and Chat anooga roads are doing a
great deal the city in the way OF
cheap freight and passenger rates, yet
the city needs several other railroads..
She especially needs one running
toward Cincinnati and the North. This
the Chesapeake and Nashville would
give her If 1t could be built. II built
to this place it would be extended
through Hickman, Perry and Hender-
son counties to Jackson, thence on a
direct line TO Memphis. Memphis far
surpasses Nashville in her railroad IA
ciltes, but Nashville is in the center
OF the great iron and provision region
in the South. Both cities can
and should prosper. They are
III no SENSE TWAS. Inc DehlJu-
fitness of Nashville is remark
able. Both Nashville and Memphis
need and should have better water
and more OF it. A city cannot pay too
much for good water. 1t is more val
liable than anything else, Not only
comfort and pleasure, but health and
even life depend upon it.
The accident on the Columbia road
was terrible. II covered this town
with sadness. The men killed were
well known here and greatly beloved.
One of them, Monroe Wilson, the bag
gage master, was particularly kind
and accommodating As an incident
in his life, will mention the fact that
on the day that he was killed he
brought some fine Jersey butter to a
young friend and delivered it TO him
at his store. Before night he was
killed. The last act we know OF him
was an act of kindness to a friend,
who will always cherish his memory.
The canvass for Governor ia becom-
ing interesting. Whitthorne is not
in the race, 30 ne says in bis letter.
Looney, Dibrell and some East Ten
nesseean will be the contending men.
Looney is still in East Tennessee.
Allison will be strong man,

LONDON, July 23.-The case OF
Ciawfjrd against Crawford and Dixie
was given u the jury this a'ternoon.
They returdsd verdict finding Mrs.
Crawford guilty OF adultery with Sir.
Charles Dixie and granting Mr.. CIaw-
ford a divorce. The jury were absent
twenty minutes only. The decision
arrived at by the jury is that Mr..
Crawford is entitled to divorce from
his wife on the ground OF adultery
with Sir Charles Dixie as decided nisi
by Justice Sir Charles Butt on Fehru-
airy 12.h last, the present case being
simply rehearing at the Intervention
Of the Queens Proctor, for the purpose
OF ascertaining whether the decree
nisi should not be set aside on the
ground of collision between Mr.. and

ford the proceeding confirms the
previous decree and makes it

Crawford's whole confession was coz
certed Tor the purpose OF shielding
Capt. Foster. Justice Hanuen, in
summing up the case for the jury,

stention from testifying in the former
trial. This silence, the Judge said,

had observed on Mr.. Il. W. 1ieredith, who,
for more than fifteen years, had been FORE

my family. The results have been entirely
satisfactory. The first case was of two
years standing, in which believe. every
known remedy had been tried with Tempo
rary reliet-the chills returning periodically
and with seemingly increased severity.
Your cure broke them at once, and there has
been no recurrence of them for moro than
six months. The other case was of milder
form, and yielded more readily to other
remei dies; but tho chills would return at in
tervals until your medicine was used, since
which time, now several months, they have
