DARE DEVIL BRODEE.

Niagara and is Ready for -
Dime Museum.

CLIFTON, Ont, Sept. 9.-Steve BrOdlt
went over the Horseshoe iall Saturday
in rubber suit. He was picked up below
the falls in an unconscious condition anC
taken to Clifton, where he recovered con
sciousness not long afterward, and an ex'
animation showed that he was not Sc
riously injured.
Brodie went to point about 200 yards
above the falls and stripped. He had his
body padded with cotton batting, then
put on rubber suit, which was inflated
tlty-two inches round the waist and sew
enty-fve inches around the chest. The
head gear was also inflated, while two
steel bands protected his body. He car
ried small paddle and entered the water
In second he caught the current, waved
the paddle, and few seconds later was
shot over the center of the Horseshoe
falls, and luckily was shot with lightning
rapidity over the outside OF one Of the
falling volumes of water, and was quick
ly lost IN the mist and foam.
He was buried from view nearly two
minutes, when he appeared on the sur
face and was carried toward the American
shore, theh' suddenly hurried toward the
Canadian side, where his friend John
Ledger had ropes ready to draw him from
tie water. Ledger was stripped, and
swan out 200 feet with rope fastened to
his waist, while W. E. Harding held the
other end on the shore. Ledger after sew
eral attempts reached Brodie, fastened the
rope to an iron band around his waist,
then swan ashore and assisted in pulling
the daring swimmer ashore,
On Brodie being lifted upon the rocky
shore he was quickly stripped, brandy
was poured in small quantities on his
temples, while he was rubbed and chafed,
but he was insensible and blood oozed
from the nose and ears, probably from
the shock or conclusion. For twenty
minutes Brodie lay, until ammonia was
applied to his nostrils, and he began to
shiver and gesticulate with his hands.
He gradually recovered consciousness, and
then found his injuries not serious.
In describing his experience Brodie
says that after he entered the river he
weakened and would have given anything
in the world il he could have reached the
shore. He attempted to get ashore by
using his paddles, when the swift current
swept him back and turned his feet to-
ward the brink of the cataract. When
he saw that it was impossible TO get out
lie felt the same as man that was to
meet his death. Just as he came TO the
brink OF the falls he became unconscious
through fright, and remained SO until he
struck the water churned into foam at the
base OF the falls, when he was temporarily
brought to by the force with which he
struck the water. Then he again lost
and knew no more until he
found himself lying in his rubber suit at
the waters edge.
Chief Mcdowell, of the Ontario police,
arrested Brodie atthe Grand Trunk station
IS he was about to take the train for New |
York. He is charged with attempting
suicide by going over the falls.

Kansas City believes in manufactures,
and in its intelligent activity holds out
lesson that Memphis could study with
great profit.
Ii there are more, or even MS many adj
vantages there for manufacturing concerns
than this city presents, it will be difficult
to convince the local public OF it, yet the
fact remains that that city has pushed
ahead OF this, and is still moving forward.
Last Friday night the citizens turned
out cn masse TO meeting called for the
purpose OF getting manufactures. Here
is one OF the strong arguments used by
The Times TO get them there, and bring
about the healthy and promising activity;
"And lust look for moment what each
additional manufacturing establishment
will do for Kansas City: Say that 1t en-
poys ten men only, onc-h0ll of whom
have families. This means five new houses
or five occupied houses OF some sort. 1t
means ten more patrons for butchers,
| bakers, dry goods merchants, druggists,
| physicians, grocprs, boot and shoe dealers,
| the country produce dealers in short for

Mapleton, Pa.. Citizens Guided to a Grave
 by Strange Light fin the Skies.
 HUNTINGTON, Pa., Feb 27.-For several years a strange light has lowered over spot on Rocky Ridge, near Mapleton. It has al ways been most brilliant in February. Nc attempt to mravel the mystery was ever made until yesterday, when Thomas H. Lo- gan, A. K. Skipper and John Grove, reputable citizens of Mapeton, repaired to the spot where the light had been seen and instituted a careful search. Being supplied with picks and shovels, they commenced to dig away the earth at a secluded spot, and when at depth of six feet they found the remains of a human body in hole about three feet long. The flesh had long since turn to dust, but the bones were intact. The body had been GOV. cred with two large flat stones. It is believed that murder was committed at the place and the remains were those of the victim.
 Since their discovery the singular light which has been seen nightly for. years has disappeared.

He May Mix Up in the Politics of the
 Metropolis and He May Not.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Since it was an- nounced that MT. Cleveland would come to New York to live there has been no end of r,rmors about the part of the city that he would choose for a residence, and as to how far he would interest himself in politics.
 In reference to the latter, Mr. Francis s. Bangs, of the law firm of which MT. Cleve- land is to be a partner, said that he did not know whether the ex-president would con meet himself with either of the great Demo cratic organizations or engage actively in the political life of the metropolis, but he rather inclined to the belief that he would not. MT. Bangs thought also that Mir Cleveland would be in this city on March 5, or soon as would be consistent with dig niied leave taking of his surroundings during the last four years. At any rate, his office is ready for him, furnished with all the needful articles and few luxuries. A bran new ink bottle stands upon his office desk in waiting for the first dip of the ex-presidential pen, and an easy chair has been placed in the front of the desk in readiness for receiving the person of the distinguished addition to the firm.
 MT. Hoyt, of the Victoria hotel, told re- porter yesterday that he was not yet certain that MT. and Mrs. Cleveland would be the guests of that house; but that he had received notice that they will make their home there for the present, if at any hotel
 A friend of the presidents in speaking oi his arrangements for the future, expressed the opinion that many of his plans would no be developed until he has completed his dutie at Washington, and had removed from hi shoulders that load of care.

The Burglar Struck the Wrong Houi


 PHILADELPHIA, Feb 27.-While Patrolman William J. Martin, Twelfth district, was at his home the front door bell was rung vio- lently. Mrs Martin answered the summons, and observed two men pass into the alley ad- joining their house. She notified her husband, and shortly afterwards, when the kitchen door opened noselessly and mans head pro truded through the opening Officer Martin grabbed the intruder. The other man sealed the back fence and escaped. The one captured couldn't give a satisfactory explanation and was escorted to the Twelfth district police station, where Special Officer Ehrmann iden- tified him William Magee, alias Harry Ransom, alias Daily, who has been arrested three times for burglary and was released from the Eastern penitentiary two months ago, after serving a three years term. He was held in S1 ,OO0 bail for attempting a felony
