The Bridge Jumper.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Nov. 9.-Steve
Brodie Jumped from the bridge in course
of construction over the Hudson river here
ate o'clock this morning. He broke three
ribs, and when he reached shore blood was
running from his mouth and ears. Brodie
afterwards took the train for New York,
where he arrived at 9 CLOCK.
The distance from the bridge to the
water is 2l2 feet. The jump was made
for a wager OF $500 and a gold medal
worth the same amount. Brodie is seri-
ously injured and may die.
New YORK. Nov. 9.-Steve Brodie,
who jumped from the P~oughkeepsie
bridge this morning arrived here at 10
o'clock. He was examined bya physician
who found he had three ribs broken aud
and his shoulder seriously hurt. The

Gen. DRUMS Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-In his annual
report to the secretary of war Adjutant
General Drum says: The regularly or.
.ganized and uniformed active militia Of
the several states which in 1856 aggre,
gated S4,739, reached 90, 734 in 1886,
which increased to 100, 1897 in the follow
ing year and on July 2, 1888, represented
an available force of LOG, 9l9 men.
Gen. Drum speaks in terms Of high
praise OF the personnel of the militia or,
carnations inspected by army officers this
year. The equipment in general is very
good, although the arms are not of a uni
form pattern, a serious defect which it is
confidently expected will be remedied in
the near future, consequent on the largely
Increased appropriations of congress.
The ~adiutant general makes many val.
liable suggestions regarding the ~instruc-
|tion of militia. The report recommends
reducing the term of service in the army
from five to three years, which will operate
Ito discourage desertion. The adiutant
general renews his recommendation that
the pay of on-commissioned officers be
Increased so as to range between $25 and
'$55 according to rank.

Wrestling Match.

Boston. Nov. AT the Howard
athaneum this afternoon Duncan G. Ross
and H. NJ. Dufur of Marlborough, en-
gagged in a wrestling match for $3.50 a
side and the championship of America,
best three falls in five, two collar and
elbow, two catch as-catch-can, and the
fifth, if necessary, to be side holds in
harness. Dufur won first fall, collar and
elbow, in six minutes, throwing Ross
clearly by a hip lock. The second fall,
catch,as catch-can, was won by Ross in
ten minutes, his weight and strength
proving too much for Dufur's quickness.
Dufur won the third fall in the same
style as the first in two minutes with
great ease. 1t took FIVE minutes for Ross
to win the fourth, catch-as catch-cau, fall
and six minutes to win the fifth fall. side
hold in harness, and thereby the match,
the last style of wrestling being evidently
as much IN his favor as the catch.as catch
can,

Heavy Snowstorm.

A%TCHIsoN, Kas., Nov. 9.-The most
phenomenal snowstorm that has ever
occurred in Northern Kansas began this
morning and has continued furiouslY all
day. Trains are all delayed and telegraph
wires are Frustrated in all directions, with
the exception of one line to Kansas City.
In Atchi3on over 200 telephone lines are
broken and so tangled up with the cleo
trio light wires that the electric light
works have been suspended to prevent
accidents. The snowstorm is the heaviest
that has occurred at any season of the
year since 1878. The extent of the dam
age cannot be ascertained owing to the
suspension of telegraph communication.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. "a rainstorm
beginning early this morning developed
into a snowstorm at 3 p. m. and has been
falling ever since. The snow, however,
has melted almost as fast as it has fallen.
1t has been accompanied by a brisk wind
and has done considerable damage. Nearly
all railroads centering here are more or
less delayed. the Santa Fe being the worst
sufferer. Telegraph wires are also some
what crippled.

A JUMP FOR LIFE.
Disastrous Fire at a Steam
Gauge Works.
Fifty Persons Hemmed in the
Burning Building,
Twenty Lose Their Lives
Jumping from Windows.
Fierce Flames.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 9.-The most
disastrous fire ever experienced in this
city occurred this evening at the works
ofthe Steam Guage and Lantern company.
1t was located in a building of seven
stories high with two easements, situated
near Genesee falls, The fire broke out at
1885 o'clock. About forty people we're at
work, mostly on the third floor. The
smoke was very dense and the men could
not reach the fire escapes and were forced
to jump from the third story windows.
Fourteen Jumped on the west side OF the
building and were f%righttullv injured, six
of them dying within an hour. Five
others will die before morning. Their
names are: Joseph Darner, John Gre
mour, Joseph Weber, Harry Schneider
and John Gall. The fatally wounded are
Richard Pasch, Frank Siddons, Dan
Watkins and John Germ. 1t is thought
five or more bodies are in the ruins, in
Guiding one or more girls. The loss on
the building will reach 500, 900; loss on
plant $l75,0 90.

GOSSIP.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-FollowIng is the
Suns Washington speculation of Harri-
sons cabinet: The main consideration of
present importance is as to whether Har
rison will not call Blaine to the head of
the cabinet. As to this point there is a
great diversity of opinion among the Re-
publicans, but the almost unanimous wish
and hopes are that Blaine may be let
severely alone. Even his admirers say
the new administration would have a bet
ter chance without Blaine than with him.
Fully. a dozen cabinet states have been
promulgated here to-day. Taken together
they contain pretty nearly every Reputli-
can name of prominence In the country.
! Perhaps only one of the names is certain
to be found in the final list. That is the
name of Col. John G.. New OF Indianap-
oils, who is regarded as the coming secre-
tary of the treasury almost without doubt.
Gen. Harrison will put some Indiana man
in the cabinet, and Col. New is the first
and only man anyone can think of, and
his long and large experience in the treas
ury suggests the appropriateness of plac-
ing him at the head Of that department.
John Sherman is also mentioned as secre-
tary of state.
WASHINGTON, Nov. cit is believed
that Gen. Harrison's private secretary
will be d. D. Alexander, now a resident
of Buffalo, N. Y. Alexander is possessel
of all of Col. Dan Lamont caution and
shrewdness, but is less austere and re-
served. He is a lawyer and journalist
and lived In Indianapolis until a few years
ago when he became fifth auditor of the
treasury, which he resigned when Cleve-
land was elected. He has been with Gen.
Harrison in a confidential capacity since
the opening of the campaign and won the
latter's esteem and confidence.
Il believe we will have from seventeen
to twenty majority in the next house"
said Secretary Mcpherson of the Repub-
lican congressional campaign committee
to-day. Making up a table printed in a
New York Republican paper he said: Il
I'M going to give the Democrats all they
claim within the cases where the actual
returns have not removed all doubt"
From this table he reduced the Republi-
can claims for congressman by one, which
is in Florida. Kentucky, Maryland, North
Carolina, West Virginia and two in Vlr-
ginia. In that shape he declared that he
allowed all the Democratic claims in
doubtful cases and the result was a Re-
publican majority of fifteen. He could
not see how it would possibly be reduced
below that figure, and allowing for Re-
publican chances in the doubtful districts,
as in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia,
North Carolina and elsewhere, he conf
dentially expected the Republican majority
TO be nearer twenty than fifteen.

THE FIEND AT WORK.
Another Horrible Murder in
London.
A Woman the Victim as in
Former Cases.
The Remains Mutilated in a
Frightful Manner,
Another Murder.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The murder hend
has added another to his list OF victims.
At IL o'clock this morning the body OF a
cut into pieces was discovered in
a house on Dorset street, Spitalhelds.
The police are ~endeavoring to track the
murderer with bloodhounds.
The remains were mutilated in the
same horrible manner as those of the
women murdered in W%hitechapel. The
appearance of the remains are frightful,
and the mutilation was eve greater than
in the previous cases. The head had
been severed and placed beneath one of
the arms, the ears and nose had been cut
of, the body had been disemboweled and
the flesh torn from the thighs. The
womb and other organs are missing. The
skin had been torn off of the head and
cheeks and one hand had been pushed
into the stomach.
The victim, like all the others, was a
prostitute. her husband being a porter.
They lived together at spasmodic inter-
walls. Her name is believed to have been
Lizzie Fisher, but to most Of the habitues
of haunts she visited she was known as
Mary Jane.
She had a room in the house where she
was murdered. She carried a latch key,
and no one knew at what hour she en-
tered the house last night. Probably no
one saw the man who accompanied her,
therefore it is hardly likely that he will
ever be identified. He might easily have
left the house at any time between l and
6 o'clock this morning without attracting
attention. The doctors who have exam
ined the remains refuse to make n
statement until an inquest is held, Three
%bloodhounds belonging to private citizens
have been taken to the place where the
body lay and were placed on the scent OF
the murderer, but were unable to keep it
for any great distance, and all hope of
running the assassin down by their assis-
ance will have to be abandoned.
The murdered woman told a companion
last evening that she was without money
and would commit suicide if she did not
get a supply.
1t has been learned that a man respect
ably dressed accosted the victim and
offered her money. They went to her
lodging. No noise was heard during the
night, and nothing was known of the
murder until the landlady went to the
room early this morning to ask for her.
The first thing she saw on entering the
room was the woman's breasts and viscera
lying on the table.
In the house of commons to-day Cany-
bora asked the question whether if it was
true that another woman had been MUIR
dered in London, and whether Gen. War
rem, chief of the Metropolitan police,
ought not to be superseded by an officer
accustomed to investigate crime. The
/ speaker said notice must be given Of the
question in writing. Cunningham Ora
ham then asked if Gen. Warren had
already resigned, to which Smith, gov
eminent leader, replied No"

CongratuIat1ng Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. ARRANGE
ments are nearly completed for a grand
ratification meeting tomorrow night, and
it is probable hat Gen. Harrison will be
induced to participate in the demonstra-
ton III some way. The general has ex-
pressed decided opposition to the coming
of delegations for the purpose of congrat-
ulating HIM. Congratulations by letter
he says, will receive prompt attention. A
delegation from Madison county called
this afternoon, and to night he was SER
enaded by the sawmakers of this city. In
response to a call ior a speech he said
THE time for speech making is over.
Debate is closed, and also the polls are
closed. | thank you for Your call to-
night"
Gen. Harrison's mail has suddenly
doubled. He is receiving all sorts of Gu
rious communications, including a few
from France. The Republican headquar-
tiers closed to-day. Chairman Huston
and Secretary Dill were each presented
with gold headed canes by the clerical
corps of the committee.

Delicate Mechanism D~IsOrdered and
RfRhCed.

The most delicate and intricate piece of
mechanism in the human structure is the
nerves. AS the telegraphic wires trans
nit the electric force, so do these sensa-
tons, the focal force being the brain,
where sensation centers. Mental anxiety
weakens this mechanism, sudden shocks
p~aralyze it, but dyspepsia is Its most
obdurate foe. This foe is utterly defeated
by the irresistible tonic Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, and the cessation of disorder
in the stomach is reflected in brain
and nerves by restored tranquility. and
tranquility of the nerves implies, in this
instance, renewed vigor. A distinguished
medical authority says: The victim OF
nervous disquietude who finds choral at
night and bromides by day necessities,
should know that a cure must be sought
among agencies which strengthen the
nerves., and assuredlY Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has proved to be the best of
these. Malarial complaints, constipation,
biliousness, inactivity of the kidneys and
rheumatism often involve nervous troubles
by sympathy, and all are eradicated by the
Bitters.

BURIED ALIVE.
Dreadful Mine Disaster at
Pittsburg, Kansas.
One Hundred and Sixty Miners
Buried Alive.
Heavy SnoWstorms Raging
Throughout Kansas.
Mine Explosion.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. "a Journal spe-
cial from Pittsburg, Kas., says: The most
dreadful disaster in the history of Kansas
occurred at 5 o'clock this evening when
the men were preparing to leave off their
work at shaft No. . at Frontenac, a sub
urb of Pittsburg. A terrible explosion
was heard that shook the earth for a great
distance and completely shattered the
shaft. Upon investigation it was found
that 100 men were within the mine at the
time of the explosion, being ll2 feet below
the surface. 1t is almost certain that all
are dead at this writing.
The only two exceptions were two men
who were in the car coming up, and being
near the top,of the shaft managed to
escape.
Pittsburg is in the center of the coal
mines of South Eastern Kansas, and is
about 100 miles south of Kansas City on
the Fort Scott & Gulf railroad.
Telegraph wires are Frustrated and fur.
Their particulars cannot be obtained.

Growing Beautifully Less.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 9.-The official
returns from all precincts show that Gen.
Harrison carried the city of Indianapolis
by a plurality of l56. Official returns
for Marion county, including the city of
Indianapolis, give a total vote OF 50, 112
against 9.265 in 1884, Cleveland IL
SIT, Harrison II, 139, Fisk 800, Streeter
81. Cleveland's plurality 37S, against
226 plurality for Blaine in 1884. 1t is
pretty definitely settled that Gen. Harri-
sons plurality in Indiana will be about
$500. Official figures will probably not be
known for several days yet, as only three
counties have been received by the secre-
tary of state. The entire Republican
state ticket is elected from governor down
to reporter of the supreme court.

Across the Continent

From the Atlantic seaboard daily journey
thousands of immigrants, hosts OF enter
prising tourists for pleasure, occasional
European seekers for material for books
on America, multitudes of hardy native
and foreign agriculturalists and artisans,
all eager, all expectant, but all unaccus-
toned to the new climate of the frontier,
and all ~un6t-unless protected with a
medicinal safeguard-to encounter mala-
ria, the chief foe 70 health in regions
newly cleared and opened up for settle
ment. These western-bound travellers
will find in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
the safety from malarial infection they
might vainly seek from other sources.
Tried in all parts of the world, under ext
gencies the best fitted to show its value,
it has failed nowhere under the most ex-
acting conditions. In so many lands is it
in request that the demand Tor it may
well be termed universal. Not only ma
laria, but constipation, dyspepsia, bilious,
ness. rheumatism, debility. nervousness
and lnaction of the kidneys are thoroughly
relieved by it.
