A FooLHARDY MAN KILLED.
To settle q Dispute rs TO the Height
ofa steepie n Carpenter Climbs
and Falls.

A week ago there was dispute in Buff
falo. n. y. as TO the relative heights Of ST..
Mary's and 81. Michaei's Catholic churches.
One OF the parties 10 the discussion was
Charles Sullivan and he volunteered 10 de-
eide IL. lie was carpenter and considered
himself an expert IN building spires. Sat-
urday afternoon he procured a couple OF
spools OF wire, and at $40 o'clock went
with friends 10 the man I'm charge Of the
the bells In the tower OF 50. MichaePs
church, and assured him that he had an
order from one OF the church authorities 90
20 into the belfry. The bcllman refused TO
let him 60 without an order from the priest.
While the party We're arguing Sullivan
slipped past and cIambered out OF the tower
TO the roof, and, selling the lightning rod,
began TO ascend the steeple. lie went up
rapidly and without obstacle until he nearly
reached the foot of the cross az the apex OF
the tower, when the rod broke and he fell
headlong, n distance OF one hundred feet.
making one complete revolution in his de-
scent
He struck the roof with a sound like the
report Of a gun, breaking through the tin
with which the roof IL covered. His body
lay upon the roof without motion. Aid was
called from a neighboring engine-housc,
and the fremen, by means OF an extension
ladder, brought the body down. and pa
troll wagon took Il 10 the morgue. Death
had evidently been instantaneous. Tho
victims neck and back were broken.

Suicide BY Self Smothering.

to have committed suicide in Omaha by
holding his breath, is not the first one Of
the kind that has come to his knowledge.

Of no less than three such cases before,
though it has never been my good
fortune to be present at one Of the
autopsies. DR.. Prieto, who was for many
years one Of the b~est-known physicians
in the West, and whose word and judg-
ment were as good as %anybody's, once
told me of a patient who came to him
when he was the physician in charge of
the medical springs in a Sale County,
Ill. The patient was a very great suf-

she attempted suicide by cutting her
wrist, but she was discovered before she
had lost much blood. DR.. Prieto or

Swallows Take to a sh.n.

A rather curious episode in natural his
tory occurred the other day on board the
French steamboat Abd-el-Kader during
the passage from Marseilles to Algiers.
Just as the vessel was sbout two hours out
the sky became quite black with swallows.
1t was then about o'clock in the evening.
The birds alighted in thousands on the
sails, ropes and yards of the Abd-el-Kader.
After perky survey of the deck from their
eminences aloft they descended coolly on
deck, hoped about among the sailors and
passengers, and eventually found their way
into the cabins both fore and aft. The
birds were evidently fatigued, after long
flight, and allowed themselves to be caught
by the people of the ship who gave them
welcome reception and provided them
with food, which they enjoyed heartily.
The little winged strangers remained all
night on the vessel, and in the morning at
o'clock the head lookout bird no doubt
sighted the Balearic Isles, for the whole
flock made for land, after having spent a
comfortable and refreshing night on board
ship.
