HE FOUGHT TO DIE.
James Grigsby's Determination to C
Ii nIcilc

James Grigsby's Determination to Com
NIT Suicide.
James Grlgsby made an unsuccessful at
tempt to commit suicide by leaping from
the Suspension Bridge.
The leaping part was perfect, but the
killing part failed to materialize.
The passengers in white-line car and
several pedestrians saw him as he mounted
the railing, and a cry of horror went up
when they saw him leap. He did not steady
himself moment when lie reached the top
of the bridge railing, but just leaped
forward, and his body went flying through
the air at a wonderful speed
When about thirty feet down his lat fl ew
OF, and he turned over twice before he
reached the water. He struck the water
in balf-Sitting position, loud, cracking
sound being the result. The Waterman at
Shinkle's Landing, who saw him leap, and
one or two fishermen started out to save
him.
When Grigsby struck the water he came
TO the surface Immediately and then floated
for short distance and went down again.
BY this time the boatmen were at the spot.
When he reappeared Grigsby showed no
emily wanted to drown. The watchman
tried to rescue him, and he made desper-
ate fight against it. He told all plainly that
he wanted 10 die. When they tried to grab
him he would sink his head beneath the
water and then turn himself on his back
and kick the boat away from him with his
feet. He did this half dozen times. FL
nally both of the skiffmen approached him.
and while he fought one the other grabbed
him by the hands and held him. The
would-be suicide made a desperate resist
ance and fought his rescuers like mad
man. One man held him, however, and he
was pulled ashore, where large number OF
people had congregaLed watching him.
Once outside the water the fellow made an
other fight, and did not want 10 be taken
ashore. He was finall y taken to the Police
Station and locked Up tor safe-keeping

In RUINS.
MCYicksfS Thsater, at Chicago, Destroyed
by an IuCendiary Fire.

CHICAGO. Aug. 26.-McVicker's Theater,
the pride of amusement lovers in the West,
is IN ruins. What makes it worse is the
fact that the fire was undoubtedly the
work of an incen diary. LaDierre, en-
ployed as watchman, shortly after 2
o'clock this morning, so he states, found
small fire blazing briskly in the entrance
way, between the lines of the dressing
rooms back of and under the stage. He
subdued the flames and continued on his
rounds. About o'clock lie discovered
another blaze under the auditorium, where
no one ever goes except the watchman. 1t
is simply n vacant space. Larierre fought
the flames as best he could for some min
utes, when, finding they were getting the
better of him. he turned in an alarm. The
flames spread with great rapidity, and in
spite of the efforts of the tiremen the entire
auditorium was gutted. The front of the
building, occupied rs offices, was saved by
the wall. " Shenandoah" under the
management of Al Hayman of San Fran
cisco, was running at the theater, and to-
night was to have been its hundredth per-
formauce and souvenir night. All the
costumes and properties were destroyed.
HaymaD telegraphed for a duplicate set,
now in New York, and secured the Aaudi-
torlum in which the souvenir performance
will be given tonight. The loss to the
theater is $2G0,O00 and to the company
$4,000. Four firemeu were seriously hurt,
one probably fatally, by the falling roof.

Effects Of the Silver Bill.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Mining stocks are
beginning to feel the effects Of the Silver
Bill in this market. The Commercial Ad-
vertser has the following: The feeling
among mining-br0kers at this moment is
extremely bullish, one Of the stories being
that the brokers and miners have actually
depressed the stocks in order to secure the
floating stock, and that for weeks they have
been quietly absorbing everything until
now they are ready to have the market
move.

Grard Trust Company are about 20 initiate

favor this, as IL will save them even the
small expense of shipping their Government
sales from New York to the Philadelphia
Mint.
