TUMBLED OFF THE WIRE
After Performing Many Very PeTilous
FeatS.
PROBABLY A FATAL FALL
Dangers Attending Blindfolded WaIk
er'S Exhibition at
Circus.

a tight wire-Walking exhibition al
most ended the life of Gus Brandt last
night. Brandt is professional per-
former on the wire, having travelled
around the country great deal, but has
not recently been connected with a
show. Yesterday he was engaged by
Robinson's circus to give daily public
exhibitions, and last night he attempted
the perilous feat of walking blindfolded
on wire stretched diagonaIly across
Eighth street, from the third story of
the central fire hall to the brick build
ing on the opposite side of the street.
Brandt appeared on the wire shortly
before s o'clock, and several hundred
spectators stood around watching his
performance. He walked across the
street on the wire, then returned and
performed several other feats. When
he had finished, he prepared to descend
to the ground by rope, and was just
about to do so when he called to those
below to Tighten the wire" The order
was hardly obeyed when the slender
wire snapped, and Brandt
FELL TO THE GROUND.
HIS murmured, agOniZed, "Ohr' was
caught up and echoed by the horror
stricken bystanders, the affair being
over in a second. Although Brandt fell
about twenty-five feet, he struck the
street in a half-sitting posture and fell
over on his head. Everybody thought
he was killed, and while the men
crowded around to get look at the
performer, the women turned away from
the sight. Brandt was carried into the
fire headquarters and DR.. Murphy sum-
moned. He found that two ribs were
broken and that the man was inter-
nally injured, just to what extent
can better be ascertained to-day.
lie Was sent to st. Luke's hospital. and
at IL O'Clock was resting easily Where
Brandt came from is not known, al
though it was stated that he has a
brother in the real estate business in
Minneapolis. 1t is mystery how the
wire happened to give away. 1t had
been used before, and Brandt tested it
yesterday and arranged all the details
for the exhibition.

REPUBLICAN RANT
Perpetrated in the Interest of

Gen. q. A. Sheridan, the Republica

goodly company of gentlemen present,

HOW TheY Decided It.

There We're once twelve Normans who
travelled together. not one Of whom had
ever seen the sea. One day they came
tc field spread with bleaching linen and
concluded it must be the blue water.
Brothers. said they, 1--WE must swim
across. Removing their garments and
making bundles of them, which they
bore on their heads, they took hold of
each others hands and commenced wad-
ing through. First they counted their
party. '.You and I are one, he and the
other two. and so on said they, but no
one could enumerate more than eleven
this way. Thinking that one of their
party had dropped out ard would join
them later they crossed the sea of linen
and again proceeded to the enumeration.
They were still unable to find more than
eleven. though each one tried, You AM:
I are one, etc. Finally one of them
said, Brothers, have it. We will take
twelve clods of dirt, and each one stick
his nose in his own clod. If there are
twelve noses each clod will be used. ="
This plan succeeded, and trey found
themselves twelve in numbe.-F. S. Bas-

The Bireest Passenger Engine Yet.

There is q locomotive now nearly COM
pleted by the Hickey Locomotive
Works on Albany ssreetwhi ,h is intend
ed to far surpass anything and everything
in the railroad line In the United States,
# not in the world. This wonderful
engine was designed by G. S. Strong of
the Strong Locomotive Co., of New
York, and is expected to make the light
ming speed of eighty miles an hour with
ten passenger cars on an ordinary road.
It is the largest passenger engine ever
built, and will run on the Atchison,
Topeka & Sante Fe road, between Chi
cago and Fort Madison. The first thing
that would strike the observer is the sin
gulsr position of the engines csD. 1t is
perched on top of the boilerabout
the centre, and is occupied by the
engineer alone, as another cab is built
behind the boiler for the fireman. The
engine alone will weigh ffty-fye tons
and with the tender, which is built to
ride like a passager coach, will weigh
eighty-6ve tons.-Boston Advertiser.

Two ladies of San Quentin, Cal, were
stopped by tramp as they were e-ivlug
from San Rafael, three miles distant. He
made them hand over the proceeds Of their
shopping tour-a yard of silk, three spools
of silk thread, two dress shields and roll
of butter. He also took all the money
they had, fifteen cents, and, bowing low
said as he departed: Pardon me, missuses,
but folks must take grub where they finds
it. A few days afterward one of the same
ladies, driving on that road, saw him again,
and. turning around, drove back and mott
fed the police. Two of them rigged them
selves in skirts, shawls, bonnet and heavy
wells, and, getting into buggy, drove ont
on the road Suddenly man jumped
from the bushes, and, grabbing the horse,
said: stEold yer hoss, me pretties. "All
right, my man, said the driver. in gruff
tones, and his companion poked revolver
from under his shawl and covered the
tramp. It was complete surprise to that
persoa, but he recovered sufficiently to say
that he thought their check line was loose,
and, thinking they were ladies, wanted to
fix it. The officers smiled.
