Of the village, about the middle of the
church. He was attentive and sang with
the congregation. When the plate was
passed. the President put silver dollar
to the elder who held the dish, because he
is a gold democrat.
He made bold. after the service, to seek

Mckinley. Then 1t was to get rid of n

AERIAL BICYCLlST KILLED
Was Probably Killed by Electric Current in
Midair.
He Was Riding an Electric Wire on .
Wheel and Suddenly Fell
on Dead.

Frank Donohue, or McDonagh, who called
himself 1.-The champion illuminated bicycle
performer of the world was killed at
Ridgewood Park, New York, last night
In the presence of 5000 people he essayed
to ride a bicycle across an electric wire
strung seventy-five feet above the ground.
He had proceeded but a short distance
when he fell and died almost Instantly An
autopsy alone can prove whether he was
electrocuted in midair or whether the in
juries he received in the fall were so
quickly fatal. There is the horrible suspi-
cion that the wire attached to Donohue
completed the electric circuit through his
body, and that 500 volts passed through
him. His death caused the most intense
excitement.

Volksfest at Ridgewood Park. wissel, pro-
prietor of the park. and the Brooklyn City
railroad engaged Professor Aron" as a
special attraction. He agreed to repeat the
performance he has long been giving in the
west for every night in the week.
The most striking feature of this per-
Torrance to ride the bicycle across an
electric wire. At Ridgewood there is a
wire Of galvanized iron, an inch in diameter
and a hundred feet long, strung DIT the
height of seventy-five feet between two
the wire was derived from the trolley lines
outside of the park, and was 800 volts
strong.
Lay Down on the Wire.
Donohue assembled to the platform at one
end of the wire. Then he whetted the appe-
tite of the spectators for his most danger
Gus feat by performing others not SO risky.
He made a bed of rubber on the wire and
lay on 1t, nicely balancing himself. He was
dressed in blue tights and wore rubber
shoes Then he walked from one end to
the other Of the wire and back again,
dancing on 1t, while the crowd applauded.
Then for the climax of the entertainment
Donohue's bicycle wheels are grooved. He
placed the wheels en- the wire. Attached
to him was a second wire. On his body
were strung forty electric lights in glass
bulbs of various hues and around the
wheels were fixed thirty similar bulbs.
If the arrangement of the wire attached
to him had been safe and certain, the
electric circuit would nave been completed
