JUMPED FROM BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
This Time 1t Was an Englishman, Insane
Frightened.

Frightened.
NEW YoRK, Dec. 9.-Another man has
jumped off the big bridge. This time il was
an Englishman named Daniel Mclaughlin,
who came to this city from Roanoke, Va,
a few days ago. About 2 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon he hired cab from the
stand in High street, Brooklyn, and asked
Philip Soholl, the driver, to take him across
the bridge. He paid his fare before star ting
and on entering the cab he asked to be
driven as rapidly as possible.
When the cab had passed about 100 feet
west of ths Brooklyn tower, the man step
ped out and jumped over the rail into the
river. Whom the driver saw that tho man
was about to jump, he sprang from his seat
and called for help. Policeman Bowling, of
the Brooklyn bridge police, heard his cry
but came too late to prevent the man from
jumping. They saw the man strike the
water head foremost and sink beneath the
surface Whom he reached the surface of
the water again they saw him pulled into a
boat in which there were three men. 1t
proved to be harbor patrol boat manned
by Patrolmen Daley, Horn and Tulley.
The man was conscious when picked up,
and had In ono of his hands a roll of bills
amounting to 500. He was taken to the
| police station at Pier A, where he gave his
| name, and said that he was 81 years old; @
blacksmith by trade. He added that he
had recently como to New York from
| Roanoke Va. When searched, there were
found on him besides the sos he had In his
hand, a gold watch, several keepsakos. and
some small change. He was well dressed
and appeared to be prosperous.
The man was removed to the Cham bel
street hospital where he was placed in
charge of the doctors. They examined him
and found that he had sustained no in juries
whatever, and that he was suffering merely
from shock and the effects Of cold water.
1t was said late last night that he would re-
cover.
The physicians say that he is undou btedly
Insane. Whom asked why he jumped from
the bridge, he answered that persons wer,
after him, and were trying to shoot him
He added that be had made bet with then
that they could not catch him, and tina
when they had come too near he had jump
ed off the bridge to escape them.
