n Ireatmr mt Tor Disease Mt Once Novel
and Hard to Undergo.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Jerry Crowley. a man who for five years
has been in the habit of hanging himself
regularly as a treatment for peculiar dis.
case. has at last met grim death.
Mr.. Crowley was known by thousands of
people who had become acquainted with
him through interest In his peculiar disease
and the peculiar and heroic treatment he
had resorted to for relief. For some time
he has been afflicted With disease of the
spinal coid, waieh paralyzed a portion of
the lower part of the body, and at times
caused part OF the muscles and nerves TO
not act in unison. At times his agony has
been terrible, and be has reSorted to treat
ment ar once novel and hard TO undergo.
Attached TO the ceiling above Mr.. Crow
ley's bed he has had an arrangement of
straps. Whenever he felt one of his spells
coming on he has been in the habit of pull
ing the straps under his chin and back of
his head and drawing himself up until he
was suspended in mdair. For hours he
has remained hanged by the straps, until
the treatment stretched the muscles and
induced circulation, when he would feel
better.
About year ago he placed himself on ex-
hlbitlon in museum in the city, and,
hanging from the ceiling, was gazed upon
by thousands of people.
His bad spells became more and more
frequent, until at last he had not the
strength 10 pull himself up and was forced
TO lie down. when death soon came.

TRAMPLED TO DEATH.
Patrick SulIivan's Fatal IoJaries From
Horses Hoofs.

Patrick suilivan's Fatal IoJaries From
Horses Hoofs.
Patrick Sullivan. who keeps a livery
stable at 1910 Howard street, died at 8
O'Clock yesterday afternoon from Injuries
received by being trampled under horses
hoofs. His son Daniel returned about 3
o'clock with horse that he had been out
riding. UPON entering the stable Sullivan
Jr. turned the horse over to his father.
While being fed the animal became fright
ened, and, in plungng about the stall,
knocked his tender down. Then he trampled
the PROSTATE man, breaking several bones
and inficting internal injuries. The unfor-
tunate mans cries for help attracted the
attention OF his son and two men who work
in the stable. They extrcated him from
his perilous position and carried him to his
abode upstairs.
Drs. Fitzgibbon, Simon and Proshoek
were summoned and worked over the in
Jured man for two hours. He sank rapidly,
however, and died from the shock two hours
after receiving the injuries. The Coroner
was then notified and the remains were re-
moved to the Morgue.
The deceased was q native of Ireland aud
aged Go years. His attending physicians
said that had it not been for his advanced
age his injuries would not necessarily have
resulted in death.

for the boys proved very amusing, and all
on the winning side received prizes for their
prowess.
Every train that approached the park
brought large number of visitors and
handsome trophies which the club had
placed 10 competition. Young men came
down the walk from the train with a rifle
under one arm and his sweetheart on the
other; elder members of the club came
sedately along with their wives and
daughters, while the young son bore papa's

AGAINST THE SLOUGH.

Mission Property Holders Vote to Re-
move the Pesthouse.
a lively meeting of the Potrero-avenue
Improvement Club and property-owners
was held yesterday afternoon in Maenner-
bund Hall, where about 80 persons were
assembled. The usual subiects-the re-
moval of the Pesthouse and City and County
Hospital. and the extension of certain
streets-were up for consideration.
Resolutions were adopted calling for the
removal of the Pesthouse on the grounds
that it is not fit habitation for the sick,
and has been in its present location for 20
years, during which the neighborhood has
become better settled, and is. therefore, a
constant menace to health. The vote was
unanimous. Resolutions were then passed
asking Ter the selection of commission
and the creation of an assessment district
for the extension Of the following streets,
but the vote was not unanimous: Capp,
Shotweli, Harrison, Florida, York, Hamp-
shire. Utah and Treat avenue. There were
several objections toincludjng ShGtwelI and
CapD streets in the list, the reasons being
that they would not be improved or bene-
flied.
T. Neary advocated proceedings to COM
pei each property-owner of the dreaded
slough to ill up his property and take the
burden off the district at large. He said
pfOpeIty-HOideFS Oh OtHer streets nau 10 pay
Individually for the land and subsequent
improvements and he did not think it JUS
tice that they should be assessed TO pay for
improving tie property Of persons who
bought 80 years ago and allowed their lands
TO lie idle while surrounding property was
being improved.
Il. Harrington advocated putting the
streets through and also making the prop
eriy-ownerS iii along the extended streets
He also advocated selling the City and
County Hospital site (Which he understood
would bring at least Sl50,000) and buying
the Partridge Tract for the hospital and
Pesthouse.
The Partridge Tract is near South San
Francisco. but that did not deter Mr.. Her
rlngton, who said that burg saw its best
days - years ago and was makeshift of a
town anyhow.
Chairman Koran addressed the meeting
In few words, ap0logizing for being late,
which, he said, was due to Illness in his
family caused by the reeking miasma Of the
slough. lie said either he and his family
or the slough would have 10 leave soon.

A BAD DAY FOR SHOOTING.
The day was one of the worst ones for
rifle shooting that had been seen for a long
time. a tremendous northwest gale swept
across the range. and striking the fence on
The opposite side was DETECTED into the
range, which caused the worst of fish-tail
WINDS, which prove so annoying to the
marksmen. Ii Is surprising how good some
OF these men shoot against adverse condi-
tons. Very often when a rifleman would
expect splendid shot, the variable wind
would throw him away cut. and at other
times when he did not come off exactly
where he wished, the marker would score q
good shot On the target. This was the re-
suit Of the constant strong and changing
wind.
GETTING ON TO THE WIND.
But II did not take the better shots long
TO get even with the gale that was playing
