FR0Y BROOHLYN BRIDGE.
Young Man, for a Small Sum of Money
Jumps Down 120 Feet.

A young man named Stephen Brodie,
on a wager of small amount OF
money, jumped from Brooklyn bridge
on the afternoon OF the 23d and es-
capped without serious injury. He
drove on the bridge with another man
IN a lumber wagon, and when about
100 feet east OF the New York tower,
stepped from the wagon to the bridge
rail, and, without q moments hesita-
ton, jumped off. He shot down 12O
feet into the water, which he struck
feet first. A skiff with some men in it,
who had apparently been waiting for
him, rowed up, and when he came to
the surface pulled him in. When he
came to the shore, however, the police
arrested and locked him up. He was
not injured by his terrible leap.

DETECTiYE TESTIM0EY.
Startling Sensation in the Anarchi.
Trials at Chicago.

A decided sensation was created in
the Anarchist trial at Chicago, on the
oath, by the testimony OF Andrew c.
Jansen, q detective in the employ of
the Pinkerton National Agency, who
for more than year was an active
member OF the armed section OF So
cialists. He read from his own manu-
script reports OF incendiary speeches
made at various times and places by
Fielden, Parsons, Schwab and Spies,
in which they urged workingrnen to
use dynamite upon the police and

HOT WEATHER ABROAD.
Disastrous Storms in England and France
Great DAmase @ Dor q,

A remarkable heat wave is passing
over England, accompanied by
disastrous thunder storms. AtLiver-
pool the sewers overfowed, and two
persons were drowned. Severe storms,
with loss OF life, are reported in
France. Lightning destroyed the
Dansette spinnery at Armentieres,
causing damage to the extent OF L.
100000 francs. In Paris the heat is
excessive. Extraordinary sanitary
precautions are being taken by the
authorities there.

Whose is the LeoacyP

From GahgnanIs Messenger.
A gentleman who died recently in
Paris left legacy OF $4,000 to his
niece, in Dubuque, Ia., who, it appears,
died about the same hour OF the same
day. The question who died first
turns upon the relation OF solar to
true time, and must be determined by
the difference OF longitude. II the
niece died at O'Clock "A. NJ, and the
uncle at 10 O'Clock a. NJ, the instants
OF their death must have been identi-
cal. Assuming that to be the
hour OF the testator's death,
if the niece died at any hour
between 4 and 10, although the
legacy would apparently revert to his
estate, it would really vest in her and
her heirs, since by solar time she
would actually have survived her
uncle.

All for a Drink of Whisky.

Specs, says the New York World, is
the name OF local printer at present
employed on a morning daily which
has its compOsing-roCm at the base
OF a picturesque little tower. He has
tramped the country from end to end
and has stuck type in the leading
newspaper offices in all the large cities.
He is a rapid worker and would make
a great deal OF money were it not for
his love of distilled liquors. For weeks
he will do good work, but in the end
he always spoils it by dissipation.
All last week Specs case was filed by
q "sub," but last night he celebrated
the nations holiday by returning to
work. 1t was at first supposed that
his absence was due to the usual cause,
but in some way it leaked out that it
had been prolonged in a most unusual
manner.
Specs started out on his last pay
day with a feliow-printer named
Frank, AMI the two made determined
effort to decrease the visible supply Of
whisky in Park row.
1t was 8 o'clock in themorning when
they awoke. A star or two still
twinkled in the heavens and the day
was on the eve of breaking. The men
started up simultaneously for drink,
and simultaneously their hands de-
scended into the depths OF their trous-
ers pockets.
Crank, Pm broke" gasped Specs.
"And haven't a cent" calculated
the other desperately. The pair gazed
into one another's faces in mute de-
spair, and then Frank broke the ST.
lence.
"There's only one thing for it," he
said. "The case is thus: We are broke
and our credits no good. Whisky
costs money. Life without whisky is
not worth living, and | mean to end
it. I've set up my last take and | am
gOin' to call 80. Take walk down
Rector Street, and we'll die together" 4"
Specs did not demur, but followed
his companion in silence. 1t was only
few minutes later that they found
the dark waters OF the North River.
"Specs," said Frank, meekly, "if
ever I've been unkind to you, Pm sor-
ry for it, and ask your forgiveness, as
l forgive all my enemies. Now, let's
take hold or hands, and when / say
three we'll Jump together and end
everything"
The two men clasped hands, and
Frank began to count. When he
reached "three" his heart misgave
him, and he held back; but Specs gave
tremendous spring, and disappeared
beneath the water. Two policemen
tiShed him out about three minutes
later, and took him to the hospital,
while Frank calmly betook himself to
bed. Now, when the boys want to get
either man angry, they say:
Gone, two, three, iump!"

Saved by a Red Shirt.

IRON the New 1Ork world.
Murtha COrbett, q hostler IN the
Thirty, fifth Precinct police stables,
yesterday morning saw a horse be-
longing to Thomas Burke that had
strayed out OF his pasture fall on the
trestle-works OF the railroad bridge
that crosses Tibbett's Brook. 1t was
held a prisoner on the track. Mr. Cor
bett heard the newspaper train thun-
dering along about hall q mile south
OF the railroad cut, and as it was too
early Tor the flag man to be at his
post he knew that he must stop the
train in order to prevent q great ca
lamity, SO on the spur OF the moment
he quickly pulled off his red flannel
shirt, the only article that would an
swer for danger signal, and ran with
great haste into the cut, waving his
red shirt before the approaching
train. He succeeded in attracting the
engineers attention. The train was
stopped, and the people were saved.
IT is not generally known that Ranke
and Goethe corresponded with each
other. The "History OF the Servian
Revolution" excited Goethe's warmest
admiration; he wrote to Ranke that
it had filled him with "entiTely new
ideas" That work is to this day
used as text-bO0kin Servian schools.

may be described as fanatical hatred OF
antiquities. Their frenzy for DESTROYING

with historic and sacred traditions irritates
every foreign visitor and exposes them to
destructive criticism, not only from arch
