OVER THE FALLS.
Curious Incident at One OF the Meccas
of Those Bent on Suicide.

Curious Incident at One OF the Meccas
of Those Bent on Suicide.
very curious thing happened here, some
thing probably without a parallel in the
annals even of this place of curious stories
and narrowing tales. 1t was an incident
which was not without humorous features,
too One man was supposed to have gone
over the falls, was bewailed as lost, and
turned up large as life and another man
actually did GO over the cataract, all this
happening within a few minutes.
1t was Just before supper time, and the
people standing around the parapet watch
ing the ceaseless rush of the water over the
precipice were many. Suddenly there was
woman's cry, aud almost at the same in
slant the body of man was seen In the
current swiftly moving to the brink of the
fall. over which before those ON shore
could catch their breath it had descended.
The woman who had screamed was Mrs.
Malcolm Mcdonald of 667 Fulton street.

sitting with her husband. an Erie flagnan,
on bench in the park. A little girl. Mag
gle Muir, was with them As they wandered
park the husband occasionally felt the want
of something cooling, as it was pretty hot
and SO it happened that, several beers had
gone aboard. This and the heat of the day
possibly turned his head a trifle, for after
sitting for awhile by the bench with his
head in his wife's lap he jumped up, and
starting toward the rivers edge fell into
some bushes.
The wife screamed and started for some
| one to rescue him. AT the same time those

| two facts being put together, of course the
! natural conclusion was that Mcdonald was
| the man. The wife was taken to the super

\ grief, but between her sobs she alluded

SIDNEY BELLS CASE.
His Counsel's Motion for Another Tria
Submitted on Briefs.

His CounsePs Motion for Another Trial
Submitted on Briefs.
The application for new trial in the Sid
ney Bell case was argued at length before
Judge Murphy yesterday and will be sub
mitted on briefs.
Barclay Henley, Bells attorney, based his
motion on three grounds: first. That an error
was committed bv the Court in allowing
JacObson's mother to testify to her sons
explanation of the killing few minutes be-
fore he died; second, in allowing the Dis
trict Attorney to say to the jury, Il believe
the defendant guilty.; third. that the Judge
should not have charged the jury that Camp
bell was an hccompiice of Bell.
District Attorney Barnes said he could
give ample authority for the first and third
grounds, but denied having made the re-
mark charged in the second.
In the course of Mr.. Henley's remarks he
said that both the press and the police had
treated his client very unfairly.
Judge Murphy will not decide the case or
pass sentence until the Supreme Court has
passed upon the validity of the act requiring
all executions to take place in San Quentin.

and the duration of the litigation would be
altogether uncertain. During all this time
rights would be acquired which must be lost
if the decision should be unfavorable to the
county, in case such decision could have
that effect.
The Legislature could have made the

on the question whatever, or it could make

When Don c. Hall stepped in front OF

Sunday evening and in language almost
as two-faced as that of Richard himself
complained of the treatment given the

placed himself in a very peculiar posi-
ton. With paper. honestly edited. q
meritorious performance will speak for
itself and in stronger terms than can
any attempt at fault finding or begging.
On the other hand a paper, that fawns
for COM limentary tickets or cringes
because it hasn't the independence to
dictate its own course, is worthless in
in the eyes of the public and its opinions
pass for naught. Favorable comment
from such paper, therefore, Mr.. Hall
certainly cannot want, and his inteIli-
gence ought to show him that Sticking
will not influence journals OF the other
kind. The question then occurs: What
was Mr.. Hall talking for when he
talked so much about what in fact inter

third bridge on the line, an iron girder,
40 feet long. The BeIington extension
practically begins at the junction, about
one mile soudh Of Ekns, crosses the
Tygarts Valley River with an iron Pratt
truss bridge, and thence extends along
the north side Of the river, distance
OF sixteen miles to Randolph and
Bellington, the eastern terminus OF the
Grafton and Greenbrier. The maximum
grade is ~ feet a mile, and maximum
curvature 10 degrees. The grading on
both lines was light, and the cost OF con-

\ Lively Railroad Rumpus.

A large force of workmen began lay
ing the third track of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad through the town Of
Brunswick, Md, on Monday morning
about l o'clock. A protest from the
town Council was served on them TO pro-
hlbit the work on the ground that the
Company's charter does not allow a third
track through this street in the town.
No attention was given TO this and the
men were ordered 90 work. A crowd Of
citizens opposed the work and for awhile
they tore up the track as fast as it was
laid. The number Of wOrkmen soon be-
came too great for any successful Opposi-
tiOn and the track was placed IN position.
During the trouble pistols were fired
and dynamite exploded When the
track was being laid in front of the
Red Mems Hall building a stick of dyn-
amite exploded in the baud OF Willard
r. Bond, son of John X. Bond, terribly
decorating his right hand and his head.
His hand was amputated at once by
DrS. Ransom and Elgin. At the time
of the accident he was leaning out OF
the hall. Everything has been quiet
since, but the citizens are very much
excited over the affair and more trouble
is anticipated. The ground over which
the dispute arose is street in the
town and the citizens object TO having
1t entirely covered with tracks.
