A Thrilling War Incident ImmortaIized
in Verse.
In the summer of the fourth campaign
OF the civil war, 10000 Confederates I'M
der Gen. Early dashed down the She
nandoah Valley and threatened Wash
ington. Being twice defeated by nation
al forces, they next attempted to drive
Sheridan out of the valley. The North
ern soldiers being again victorious,
Sheridan marched through the valley,
and in order to make it untenable to the
enemy, laid it utterly waste, destroying
$50, OO0,0 700 of property. The federal
army then fell back on Cedar Creek,
Va, where on the night of October Is,
1864, they were attacked by Early and
the Confederates, and the next morning
were driven back four miles, Sheridan
himself was then at Winchester, twenty
miles away, but hearing o. the disaster,
galloped to the field just in time to turn
the retreat into victory. The Confed-
crates never again threatened the
United States capital.

famous incident OF the battle of Win
chester, was written by T. Buchanan

LEAPED FROM THE STRUCTURE
An Unknown Man Jumps From the Mid

All unknown MAN Jumps from the Mid
dle Span of the Brooklyn Bridge.
New York, Aug. 3.-This morning a
man whose name is at present I'M
known, evaded the police and jumped
from the center span of the Brooklyn
bridge into the river. He crossed the
bridge IN wagon and when he came to
the center, pedestrians and teamsters
saw him jump from the wagon and
climb on the parapet, with the agility of
a cat. Fllnging off his derby hat he
sprang to the water. Friends in tug
picked him up and spirited him away.
The police got his hat.
When picked up the man was in a
semi-conscious condition and the tug
conveyed him to the Hamilton ferry
where an officer summoned an ambu-
lance and ne was conveyed to the Long
Island College Hospital. He was
dressed in bathing suit and looked as
if he had made every preparation to
jump from the bridge He refused
to give. his name or say
why he jumped. He was evidently
badly hurt and the surgeon said he was
suffering from severe shock and internal
injuries, which might prove fatal. He
was put to bed and some stimulants
given him. Later he gave his name as

DUBLIN, Aug. 3.-The Typographical
Provident Society to-day petitioned the
various public bodies to endeavor to in
duce the British Government to use
it's influence with the American
government to secure the ex-
punging of the Objectionable clauses
from the proposed international
copyright bill, the enforcement of which
would seriously injure the printing in
