A panic ensued, but was allayed by the

Yoolharay Act Of = BufnAlo Msn--He Un-
dertakes to Climb to the Top Of .
Church stssp1s and Has His Brains
Knocked Out.
BUFFALO,, N. T., June M.-People
In the vicinity Of Washington
market this afternoon saw q trag.
edy they will not soon forget. The chimes
in st. Michael's Roman Catholic Church
had just ceased ringing when some Of the
folks In Washington street saw man
climbing the tall steeple Of the church.
The crowd increased as the man slowly
pulled himself toward the top by means Of
the lightning rod. Itseemed every moment
TO the spectators as II the climber would
fall, but he went hand over hand to
tho apex. When he reached the foot Of
the cross the lightning-rod gave way. The
man made futile effort to throw his arms
about the spire, but IL was too large, and
then he fell headlong to the roof Of the
body of the church, a distance of one hum
dred feet. His neck was broken and his
brains dashed out. Policeman Mcclure,
who saw the fail, called Fro Truck and
the patrol wagon. The fremen took
down the body, and the policemen
conveyed IL to headquarters. The vic
tim Of the tragedy was Charles Sullivan,
q telegraph lineman, who lived near
the church. He had beon drinking some
during the day, and made bet with some
acquaintances, first as to tho height Of the
spire, and, second, as to his ability to climb
It safely. When Sullivan went to the
tower to climb IL the bellmen refused to let
him pass, but afterward he slipped by
them, and the first they knew Of the fatal
climb was when they saw the bleeding
body on the church roof after the fall.
Sullivan's betting friends got away as soon
as possible to avoid arrest.

Good Advice.

We want harmony and big major
ity in November for Taylor, and
we think it the part of wisdom for our
citizens to cease jeerirg at men who
were opposed to Gov, Taylor before
his nomination. Be broadminded and
give these men credit for the honesty
OF conviction which you claim for
yourself. You may cause many to
say in anger that which they will not
retract in cooler moments and will'act
upon at the polls. Stop that intoler-
ant talk, qubibling and back-bitting
let differences be of the past, as they
should be with all good democrats
and let the common bile and venom
be spewed upon the common enemy
the republican party, and we, moving
forward in serried ranks, will storm
the republican camp, reeking will
corruption, and snow them under by

Don't Need ANY Proof.

Nash vile American.
The Athens Post warns Gov. Taylor
that he is GLADLY needed at Knoxville"
to stop a report, which the editor says,
has been put in circulation, to the
effect that he, through his friends, has
confederated with the republicans to
elect republicans to the state senate,
have a republican speaker elected,
then combine with republicans and
himself defeat Harris for the United
States senate, and let the republican
speaker OF the senate become govern

cans are to support him-Taylor-for
governor. No, Joseph, you are mista-
ken Governor Taylor is not needed
at Knoxville to stop this lie. 1t is well
the liars started on full-grown whop-
per right at the start-a lie that can
no more stand alone than an inverted
pyramid. The truth is, this lie is too
top heavy--it falls Of its own weight.
Something better than this must be
gotten up by the fellows who have un-
dertaken to stab Gov. Taylor in the
back.
If there is anything on this earth
that Bob Taylor don't need, and don't
want, and would not say thanky fol

confederate with republicans. On this
subject he needs no proof-he would
not walk two steps to discredit ten

johnson City has many reasons to
be proud Of the Johnson City Cornet
Band. tits composed Of some of our
best young men and is really first
class band and is in good practice. 1t
is true that the members buy their
own instruments and music and have
to pay for their musical information
and therefore should be paid for their
services. There are circumstances,
however, under which a band might
reasonable be expected to play with
out compensation. Yesterday theboys
had an opportunity to display their
patriotism by turning out and assist
ing in the decoration of the soldiers
graves without pay for so doing. We
are proud to say that there was but
one single objection to doing so and
that objection came from the leader
who refused to play without compen.
sation. This action on the part of the
leader, Prof. Mcleod, appears all the
more strange and unpatriotic when il
is known that he is an ex-Union sol
der and is now drawing a pension
from the Government for having lost
limb in the late unpleasantness. A

doubt benefit the band financially.
