HE INITIATED BRODIE
Frank McCarey Tried to Jump
from Brooklyn Bridge.
STRUCK THE WATER LIKE A LOG
His Body Carried OFF by the Tide, and
Has Not Been Recovered

Hundreds Saw the Act-McCarey Had
Talked the Matter Over With Steve
BrOdie, and Had Been Laughed at
Half Intoxicated When He Leaped-
Other Bridge-Jumping Tragedies.
NEW York, Nov 23.-Francis Nc
Carey, a foolherdy fellow who has been
boasting about this city and Brooklyn
for several days that he would soon
startle New York and let all the people
know that he was man of nerve,
plunged off the East River Bride at $50
yesterday and was drowned. He was
half drunk when he made the leap.
Some time before election McCare y,
who had been an iron molder in he
Lewis & Fowler car shops on Walworth
street, Williams burg, but who was dis
charged five weeks ago for inebriety, read
that 'Steve' Brodie had bet So, 500 on
the result of the election. He aske ed
some of his friends how Br ode accu-
mulated SO much money, and was in
formed that he got his start by jumping
off the bridge.
That set McCarey thinking He made
up his mind to win fame and fortune
by doing likewise. He conf1ded his in
tentions to Mrs. McCuskie, with whom
he boarded, and to Peter Kelly, sa
loonkeeper of Walworth street. Some
small bets were made in Kelly's on the
result.
On Thursday last McCarey went to
Brodie's place on the Bowery and told
him that his title as champion would be
gone soon.
~ will jump off the bridge myself"
he said, land show the world that am
the jumpe of America"
There were fully 800 promenaders on
the bridge when McCarey, with his head
bare, his coat and shoes off and the fool
ish confidence of overweening bravado
evident in every movement, climbed la
boriously out from the south side drive
into the main cable, and with the part
ing exclamation, "Here goes!" leaped
to death $50 feet below.
The falling body of the unfortunate
man fell, tumbling over and over in it's
descent until with a great splash it
water and sank, leaving a smother of
crimson tinted foam to mark the spot.
Once, and once only, did he rise, the
linn s stiffly sprawled out and the head
thrust downward and forward.
Then he sank, and the crowds of
watchers on the bridge and the search
ers who put out from the shore in row
boats saw no further trace OF the reck-
less jumper, whose death must have been
| instantaneous. The circumstances con-
nected with the case are peculiar, and
would appear inexplicable except upon
| the basis of insanity.
Since May, 1885, five men have jumped
| from the bridg e. Professor Odl UNI, the
| frst killed himself Brodie was the
next. After him was Larry Donovan
A painter fell from the bridge, and was
injured SO badly that he died. A Ger
man named Poach jumped successfully,
and some time afterward shot himself
A lovesick Staten Island youth got ST,
months for jumping, and McCarey los

GILLIAN THEATERS.
Sunday Night tho Attendance Is thu
Largest.


Largest.
At the theater, where light opera is
usually on the boards and good music
is the rule, the gentlemen sally en-
masse into the vestibule between the
1acts to indulge Sn,the universal cigarito.
When the curtain is about to rise, a
bell is rung to recall them, and then for
few moments the house is so filed with
smoke that one can hardly see across it,
writes Gillian correspondent.
At the close of performance, all the
gentlemen who have no ladies in charge
hurry into the vestibule and take up
their positions in rows, leaving mar
row lane through which the ladies
must pass, and stare at them with
great earnestness, commenting freely
and audibly upon their beauty and
taste in dress. So far from thinking
this an impertinence, the ladies con-
slider it complimentary, and afterward
repeat to one another the remarks they
have heard.
Sundays and Thursdays are the fash
ionable nights, Sundays being the fav-
>orite, when the best pieces are rem
dered.
Theater going, though so universally
INDUCED in, is an expensive amuse-
ment in this part of the world. In Val
paraiso the price for an indifferently To-
Gated box is ten dollars, with an addi-
tional entrada, or entrance fee of one
dollar and twenty-five cents for each
person who occupies it. In Santiago
the prices of the great Teatro Municipal
are much higher, so that los ricos, who
design to go often with their families,
find it cheaper to buy box by the
year, for some hundreds of dollars.

highest bidders, on a certain date al

LIFE IN THE MINES.
Fascination About 1t Not Easily Shaken

rAbCInAJlOn ABDUL IL MOI EASILY Shakcn
On.
There is fascination about mining
life which, once having possessed a
man, cannot easily be shaken off. A
miner who has made good stake by
selling his locations at first proposes to
himself to travel, than to settle down in
his own original home; but after little
while he discovers that he himself has
changed, that old ties have been broken,
and that he is disappointed in his for
mer associations. Things at home seem
to have inexplicably dwindled. An al
most irresistible impulse, a transferred
nostalgia, a longing for the clear,
bracing mountain air and the liberal
ways of the mines then seizes him, says
a writer in the Engineering Magazine.
It is difficult to content ones self with
the monotonous life Of the staider COM
munities after having tasted a more ex-
hilarating one.
The attraction of the mines is not all
in the hope of gain, though that of
course has much to do with it. The
friendships formed, the freedom of
thought and custom, the spirit of cam
araderie, and the entire absence of COM
mercial competition have their inf1u-
ence as we'll. So numbers of men, hav-
ing acquired a competence in mining,
make their headquarters still in the
mining country as matter of prefer
ence, not necessity. Such men are
much in the habit of taking short trips
| away, and are to be met with all
through the highways and byways OF
travel. To be able to lead this pleasant,
independent life is the dream of the
less fortunate ones. Miners are very
apt to disparage their calling while
they are actively engaged in it; they
may term it ga dogs life," but let them
once be freed, mark how they banker

FAMINE-STRICkEN RUSSIA.
Count TolstOi Says There Will be n Rev
lution-H His DauShters' Generosity.

Count To1stOi Says There Will be a Revo-
lutiOn-Hi Daughters Generosity.
BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Count Lyof Tolstoi,
the great Russian social reformer, has
published an energetic demand that the
government declare without delay
whether the stock of grain is sufficient
to last through next summer Count
Tolstoi advocates the purchase of corn
in America in time to protect the coun-
try from famine and the terrible social
distur bance that is certain to attend
such condition of affairs.
Toistoi contends, from his own personal
calcu lation, that the stock of grain will
not be sufficient, and that the govern
ment reply guaranteeing enough to feed
the people until the next harvest, if
falsified, will lead TO a revolution, in
which Tolstoi says he will aid.
Count Tolstoi's daughters, Latione
and Marie, have opened free refectory
for the famine stricken near his chateau.
All those persons who are in dire neces-
sity here get good meal, but they are

VOTED FOR HIS SON.
But 1t Was the Only Time This Lif@lonG
Democrat Forsook His Party.

Ex-Gov. Bigelow, of Connecticut,
possessed deep sense of humor. Moth
ing gave him more delight among his
friends than to recall the sturdy
democracy of his father and the en-
barrassment the old gentleman expert
enced when he found himself con-
fronted with the problem of voting for
his son as the candidate of the repub-
ican party, and thereby withdrawing
his support from the party of Jefferson
and jackson, says the New Haven Reg
lister. 1t had been the pride and boast
of Mr.. Bigelow senior that he had never
strayed from the. democratic fold. From
the momentous time when he cast his
maiden vote he had kept within the
democratic ranks, accepting with old
fashioned faith and devotion it's peri
odical utterances, and renewing at each
national gathering his pride in the
soundness of democratic principles.
When in 1880 he learned of the prob
able nomination of his son for governor
as a republican he naturally found
himself divided between his love for
his son and his love of party. He rea-
soned that his son would make a good
governor, andIno harm would come to
the state from his election, but he also
recognized that while voting for him
he at the same time was indorsing the
views of the republican party, and this
troubled him. He thought it over time
and again, but found it not SC
easy to decide. In the meantime his
worst fears were !reahzed, and Hobart
was nominated. The moment for de-
cision had arrived, where a choice OF
ways was necessary. He spoke to his
wife about his feelings and she advised
him to drive over to Fair Haven and
take the advice of lifelong friend
who lived there. This he did thrashing
the old field of doubt over and over in
his mind as he left North Haven behind
him. Having arrived at his friends
store, he made a full and free confes
sion of his feelings. Then and there he
was advised that voting for ones own
son in an .of-year state contest could
not compromise his standing in his
party, and every one would excuse him
for doing it. This settled, he drove
back to his home and watched the
struggle with light heart.

The Striking Miners in France.

PARIS, Nov. 23-The striking miners
met yesterday to consider the PROPOSE
tion of the Government that three min.
ing engineers, appointed by the State,
should arbitrate upon the issues be-
tween the striking miners and their
employers. The meeting was held at
Lens, and in addition to the 1872 dele
gates, an immense number of miners
and their families were assembled in
the place to learn the decision arrived
at. Notwithstanding the advocacy of
the Government proposition by several
of the speakers, the delegates voted not
to accept it. They insisted on nomin-
ating the arbitrators themselves, and
chose five miners for that purpose. 1t
is thought that there is very slight pros
pect of the mineowners accepting this
form of arbitration.

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT
Dear sir:
Answering your publication under
date of the 21st, regarding the matter of
compensation to the officers of the
National Guard, referred to. in your
communication dated New Haven, with
reference to the difficulty now
pending between the comptroller
and the quartermaster- generals depart
ment, permit me to say that
in the last paragraph of that article you
are doing great injustice to the Second
regiment and all it's officers. The
Second regiment in no degree is to be
considered IN politics. At no meeting
of the regiment or its officers either in
whole or part, has the matter of politics
been considered. There has been no
attempt on the part of any man, to my
knowledge, to influence single mem
Der either for or against Mr. Staub. Any
man who says SO is saying that which
he knows to be false or that which he
does not in any degree understand. In
closing let me say if, there was any de;
| sire on the part of the Second regiment
officers to drag the regiment into poll
| tics. possibly the undersigned might re-
ply to Comptroller Staub. from persona
knowledge, regarding the requisition in
question. Very Truly.
JOHN B. DoHERTY.

HAMBURG, Nov. 23.-Great dismay
exists in this city over the spread of in
tiuenza, which is fatal in many in
stances. The number of deaths in the
past week was $50 above the average,
and there is no present sign of an abate-
ment of the epidemic. The symptom g
are said to be in many respects similar
to those of the grippe. AS to the origin
of the disease some claim that it was
brought here from Russia, and others
from America. The authorities incline
to the Russian theory, and there is talk
of establishing a quarantine against
Russian emigrants coming to Hamburg.
