LEAPING TO INSTANT DEATH.
A MAN JUMPS OFF WASHINGTON BRIDGE.
HIS HISTORY NOT YET KNOWN TO THE POLICE
on THE CAUSE on HIs SUICIDE.


OR THE CAUSE OF HIS SUICIDE.
For the second time in its short history the
Washington Bridge has been the scene of a sui
eide In the dusk Of last evening q man, his name
unknown, flung himself from the eastern span
of the bridge to the ground below distance Of
fully 100 feet, and was instantly killed. The
suicide occurred shortly after ) 80 p. m At that
hour on Saturday evening number of people
are crossing the bridge to their homes in ono
or the other of the neighboring villages of High
bridge and Kingsbridge.
Among yesterday afternoons late travellers
crossing the bridge from east to west was a
sparely built, poorly dressed, far-haired man, a
Httle above the medium height, and bearing in
his plnched face the marks of privation. The
man walked along the south footpath of the
bridge until he had reached the western end of
the eastern span Here he stopped short and
looked over the side OF the bridge down on the
railway tracks below. Then without a moments
warning and before any one could stop him he
bounded on to the parapet
For moment his form was seen, with arms
uplfted, erect and motionless. Then it swayed
forward and fell headlong to the ground beneath
In It's fall the body turned over and over until
IL hnaliy struck the ground within few feet OF
the New-fork and Northern track, which runs
under the eastern span of the bridge
James Kelly, laborer, was at work on the
roadway within dozen yards Of the railroad
tracks lie heard frightened shrek and a shout
far above him. He looked up and saw black
object whisking through the air, saw il strike
the ground saw it rebound with the force OF
the blow, and then lie motionless Dazed with
fright, Kelly stood for a moment stupidly staring
at the mangled, bleeding body. Then recovering
ms wits, he ran off TO the police station az
liighbridge. Nv
In the meantime some men. employed in the
work Of surveying ground in the neighborhood
had run to the spot, attracted by the sound of
the fall and stood over the body almost every
bone of which was broken
Officer ConrOy, of the llighbridge Police Sta
ton, ran TO the SpCt and Immediately sent for an
ambulance, in which the body was taken TO the
Harlem Hospital morgue. The man was dressed
IN dark gray coat, yellow striped waistcoat
datk striped trousers gray flannel shirt. gray
stockings and rusSet shoes. In his pockets were
found two keys and key chain, a penknife a
matchbox, a pOcket-bOok, a counterfeit 25-cent
piece, a wooden cigar holder, a pair of worn kid
gloves, comb, and two cheap cotton handker-
chiefs. In the pocket-boOk was found a memoir
andum written in German. This afforded some
evidence of the suicides probable identity.
1t is supposed that his name is Schulz that he
lived in Brooklyn; that he had brother-in.law
in Newlork and that he rented an office in
East Eighth-st., New-fOrk.

The Third Party Move.

President Mcdowell denies in his
paper that the National Alliance en-.
dorsed the Peoples party or that
any effort was made to have it en-.
dorse it or that there was any split
on the sub treasury. The TOiler also
denounces the press reports sent out
regarding the proceedings as exceed.
ing "all the lies ever befure told on
our national body and tells the
brethren :"Beleve nothing you see
unless it comes officially through our
organs" However, in the editorial
correspondence in the same paper he
says: 1.-THE Third party men have
expressed a hope that Cleveland will
be the nominee because, rs they ex-
press it, cleveland and antl.silver'
is the only force that can etfectually
organize Third or Peoples party in
the South" This latter is frank
confession that the matter was freely
canvassed. Perhaps 1t was not dis.
cussed In convention. The Third
party men, however, controlled the
council and there was tacit under
standing that the general council in
February will adopt the Alliance
platform and nominate a ticket to
secure the Alliances support.

The cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect Of ones
own self, A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when case of full-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences
that neglect are fully realized. AS
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages OF consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-

Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.
