LEAPED FROM A BRIDGE.

Chas. s. Rogers. President of the North-
western Cordage Co., Takes n Long
Jump Into Eternity from the High
Bridge at st. Paul, MINI.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 19.--As far as
can be learned by way of Identification
Mr.. Chas S. Rogers, president of the
Northwestern cordage works, commit
ted suicide this afternoon shortly after
2 o'clock by jumping off the high
bridge.
Mr.. Rogers left home early this
morning, and has not returned. He
usually comes home to dinner, but
failed to do SO to-day, and has not ap-
peared at his office.
About o'clock this afternoon a bov
named J. M. Kart was crossing the
high bridge when a man drove up and
stopped him. II want you to take this
horse and buggy home for me-" he
said quietly. The man handed him
paper on which was written, &C. S.
Rogers, 419 Grove street." He also
handed him letter addressed to "Chas.
). Rogers, President Northwestern
Cordage Co." The man then got out of
Jne buggy. and without a moments 8
warning stepped to the railing and
jumped into the air, descending to the
water of the river, distance of bout
$50 feet.
Thus far no trace of the rema ms
has been found, though large num-
Der OF men are now on the river in
boats searching for the body.
1t is not thought that Mr.. Rogers had
been involved in any financial difficult
ties, and it is believed that fit of tenn
porary insanity caused him to commit
suicide. Mr.. Rogers was one of the
leading business men of this city, and
was well-to-do financially.
LATER.
The boy Karl now says that the sui
eide told HIM previous to turning over
the buggy that his name was C. S.
Rogers.

tempt was made to molest the two men
on foot. In the meantime the citi-
zens of Ponca had been aroused
and the three train robbers who
remained at the depot were
compelled to flee without their
horses. They went half mile east,
where a company Of cavalry was en-
camped and, stealing three horses,
made their escape. The cavalry went
in pursuit as soon as the theft was dis
covered. There are now several posses

M. CAMILLE FLAMMARIoN, in LAS
tronomie, gravely asserts that in all
probability, notwithstanding all the
circumstances which threaten it, our
planet will die, not of an accident, but
a natural death. That death will be
the consequence of the extinction of
the sun, in twenty million years or
more-perhaps thirty million since
its condensation at relatively mod
crate rate will give it, on one hand,
seventeen million years of existence,
while, on the other hand, the inevita-
bic fall Of meteors into the sun may
double this number. Whichever of his
figures prove correct there is not much
need OF the present inhabitants to be
losing any sleep contemplating the end.

oeoSo Iodhk OF St. Louis Shot and n
stantly Killed While Defending His
Home, Near Woodstock. st. Louis Coun-
ty, Mo-, from the Depredations of a
Burglar.
ST. Louis, May 21.-Ben McColloch.
for five years paying teller of the State
bank of st. Louis, was shot and killed
at his home near Woodstock, on the
Wabash railroad, at a. M, by bur-
glar.
Mr. McColloch slept in a small room
In the rear of the house on the ground
floor, the door of the room opening on
side porch. He was in the habit of
undressing and leaving his clothes in a
room adjoining the one where he slept,
window of which opens on and level
with the porch.
The robber entered the room where
the clothes were through the window,
which was raised, the shutters being
closed, but not fastened.
The noise was heard by McColloch,
who jumped up, secured a double-bar-
relied shotgun and rushed out on to the
porch. The robber seeing he was dis
covered, jumped out of the window on
to the porch and grappled with McCol-
loch as he came out of the door.
In the scuffle that followed one bar
rel OF the gun, which was loaded with
bird shot was discharged.
The robber placed pistol to the
right side of McColloch's head, just
above the ear and fired McColloch
fell dead across his gun and the rob-
ber fled, leaving his pistol on the
porch.
The family is composed of Mrs. j. H.
Horshaw, mother-in-law of Mr.. McCol-
loch, his son, Will McColloch, and two
daughters, Misses Zadie and Annie, all
OF whom sleep upstairs. Another
daughter, Belle, is at school in Knox
vile, Ill.
Mrs. Horshaw heard the shot and she
awakened the girls and young McCol-
loch. When they reached the rooms
where the struggle occurred, the.
clothes were scattered all over the
floor. The window and doors were
wide open and McColl och was dead in
pool of blood ta
Sheriff Garrett and DR.. Caster, the
coroner, were summoned and an inn
mediate search was begun for trnces
that would lead to the capture of the
murderer.
On the porch where the body had
fallen was found the buttons off Nc
Colloch's undershirt and a broken
bone collar button, supposed to belong
to the murderer, showing that the
struggle had been fierce.
The pistol belonging to the murderer
was also picked up 1t is Harrington
q Richardson, No. sOS, 3S-caliber. On
the right side of the handle is scratched
the letter II, and around it is circles.
The left side of the cylinder is covered
with blood. Two of the five chambers
were discharged, one of them empty,
but the other contained an empty shell.
The bullet that did the terrible work
was lying close tofthe body.
No theory can be advanced for the
murder except that the man was there
for robbery and killed McColloch ather
than be captured.
The clothes of McColloch. contained
$50, gold watch and some papers,
none OF which were secured by the bur-
glar.
