AN UNPLEASANT SOUND.
Short story of the Civil War Told by al
Old Soldier.


II was certainly more or less scared a
number of times when l was in the army -
said an old soldier in fact think sol
diering in time of war is a more or less
harassing occupation anyway, but 1 never
was any more scared than was once for a
minute by something that had nothing to
do with fighting whatever. This hap
pened once when l was on picket in Vir
Sinia. The post was in a piece of woods.
1t was bad enough in the daytime, but al
night, when you couldn't see anything al
all, it was worse. 1t seemed as though il
got darker and darker and stiller and
stiller, and it seemed as though it would
never end.
Suddenly It was busted wide open by
the awfulest sound l ever heard. Scaredi
Well!
If you've ever felt the feeling that q
man has before he actually gets under fire,
when he's lying back somewhere in reserve
and pretty safe but hearing the craoklC
up ahead and seeing the wounded hrough,
back, and thinking that pretty soon he's
got Co go in himself, why, you know what
it is to have one of the most unpleasant
feelings a man ever had, but there you
know what's coming. This came with a
shock / think it was the worst scare
ever had. II came right out of the ali
square overhead and close too where
hadn't been looking for anything, the
frightfulest, most unearthly sound / ever
heard and all l could do was to stand
there in the black dark and wait A min
ute later it came again. What a tremen
dous relief A screech owl I'd never
heard one before, but l knew now what il

Brooklyn. April 1S.-A young man sup
posed to be James Duffy, a. native of
County Cavan, Ireland, jumped from the
Brooklyn bridge this afternoon about 2:SO
o'clock and was drowned. From what
can be learned the act was but a case Of
bravado, he having declared that he had
already jumped from Waterloo bridge in
London, ana from the high bridge at New
Castle-on-Tyne, and wished to add this
feat to his former exploits.
Duffy, according to Patrolman Donnelly,
who happened to be standing near the
place where the man jumped, which is
considered the highest part of the struc-
ture, emerged from the crowd on the
promenade at the objective point and
swung himself up to the board walk over
the tracks, from which an iron ladder
leads down to the roadway. A moment
later Donnelly saw Duffy run across the
roadway and climb upon the railing that
separated it from the outer cable, which
helps to support the central span All of
Donnelly's efforts to stop the man from
his intention were of no avail. Duffy,
balancing himself upon the cable, threw
off his coat and sprang out into the air.
in his descent he turned over and over
several times. OnelOOker-on said that
he saw DufHy's body make four complete
sOmersaults before 1t struck the water.
He did not come to the surface afterward.
Duffy stood in Park Row near the
bridge entrance early this afternoon and
announced that he was about to jump
from the Brooklyn bridge at its highest
point. He asked half a dozen different
men to go along and see him jump as he
wanted to have witnesses to prove that

INCOME TAX REHEARING.
A Motion to BE Heard by the Supreme
Court TO-MorrOw.


Washington, April 1s.--A motion for
rehearing of the income tax cases de-
eided by the United States supreme court
last Monday will be made by ". d. Guth-
RE, OF the counsel for the
stockholders in the Farmers and
Continental Trust Company, and
the printed motion will be distribu-
ted among the justices next Monday. The
proceedings will be done without the per-
sonal Intervention Of counsel, and no rec
ord of the fling of the motion will be
made unless 1t should be granted The
probable action of the court is a mat
ter of pure speculation. To grant the
mouon under the practice of the court
lald down in the case of the St. Louis
public schools VS. Walker (Ninth Wallace)
would require the request of one of the
TOUR justices who voted to uphold the
consututionality of the law, and whether
one OF these would do this cannot, of
course, be told until the decision of the
court upon the motion shall be an
nounced In the st. Louis case the court
said that Where the court does not of
It's own motion order a rehearing, it
shal be in order for counsel to submit a
motion without argument.
II any Justice who concurred in the opin-
ion of the court asks that it be done, a
rehearing viii be granted; otherwise it
will be denied as Of course"
Should the motion for a rehearing be
granted by the court, it WILL in all prob
ability, be accompanied by an order set
ting aside the judgment announced last
Monday and restoring the case to the
docket for reargument. This would have
the effect of reViving the law as passed
by congress until the case was again
disposed of.
The action of the court may depend
upon the ability of Mr. Justice Jackson
to resume his seat upon the bench, mas
much as it would probably require his
cooperation to make a change in the at
titude of the court towards the law. A
letter received from him yesterday stated
that he was feeling fairly We'll but that
he had no expectation Of joining his as
sociates here before next fall.
