Attempted Suicide from the Ethel Tower.
From the London Dalu Tsl,graph.

A man. giving. his name as Richard Cart
wright and claiming TO be from Philadelphia,
attempted suicide this morning by jumping from
tho second floor OF the Eitfel Tower.
The man had been walking about beneath tho
tower for some time, and attracted the attcn-
ton OF the officials by his evident nervous
ness, so that when he entered the lift the at
PENDANTS we're warned to keep him in sight.
When he reached the second floor Cart wright
walked rapidly around several times, and then
suddenly ran to tho rail. and had put one leg
over when ho was seized by several gentlemen
and guards and dragged back.
He offered no resistance. but appeared dRZed,
and asked in English for something TO drink.
After resting for some moments and being re-
freshed by a plentiful supply OF Ice water
poured over his head. he became calmer and
was allowed to go.
The porter took him to tho gound and asked
him for his reason for his mad act: Cartwright
then gave his name, and said he lived at 2l36
Walnut street, Philadelphia. and that he had
acquaintance in London, although he refused
to give their address, and added that he had
6oen, recently staying, at tho Tavistock Hotel in
London. and that he did not speak French. lilo
asserted most positively that his action was in
duced by the excessive heat, the effect Of which
he always experienced keenly. and that he was
unconscious OF the serious nature OF his act.

Dame Fortune is capricious In every country,
but particularly so among the mines. Richard
Jockey. as well rs hundreds OF other Montana
men. has reason TO know that such is the case,
although fortune, on the whole, has been kind
TO him. Mr.. Jockey many years ago bought the
now being operated by tho Diamond Hill
Company, for 90 cents. The group OF
claims was bought last year by tho
Scotch syndicate now in possession for u
sum supposed 10 be. ~. 500, 900, but Mr..
Jockey did not make tho difference between tho
sum he paid for 1t and the latest purchase price.
However. he has no complaints to offer, for tho
property he bought for 90 cents he afterward
sold for $S. 900. and he has always cOntended
that his share Of that amount was the easiest
money no ever made.

GREAT GUNS.
Squad of Artillerymsn Coming to Fort
Preble From Fort Warren.

A squad of artillerymen thoroughly
trained in the mathematics Of modern
coast defence, will arrive from Fort War
rem. and will, with the assistancesof the
artillerymen of Fort Preble, complete
the mounting Of the 10-inch' guns, (which
are 35 feet long. Big dorricks will be
used to place the guns in position, and
the work will probably be in charge OF
Major Hoxie of the engineer department..
As soon as the guns .ares the
soldiers of Fort Preble will be given 'prac-
tice with them, an d IL is the intention to
carefully train the artillerymen of Fort
Preble fin the mathematics of modern
coast defence
The ELTON gun carriage which has
been at Pleasantdale for some weeks, will
now be moved to the q. S. military res
ervation as soon as possible. This car
riage and one other at Portland Head,
although smaller than thesothers, carries
heavier gun. These two ELTON carriages
carry a 16-inch gun, and one OF these
guns will do execution with 1eoo-pound
steel projectile at distance of 16 miles.
The larger carriages carry 10-inch gun.
The 10-inch guns are So feet long and
will send a S0o-pound steel prejectile 10
miles, and do execution 10 miles. There
will be in all eight gun batteries estab-
lished at Portland Head.
1t is also rumored that it is the inten.
ton Of the government to cover four of
these guns, if not more, with the Gruson
turret. Two guns can be placed in one
turret The Gruson turret is a land
device and makes the most formidable of
artillerists of today. The aim of the tur-
ret is to break up, or paralyze a shellson
striking. The chief objection to disap-
pearing guns is said to be that they can
be reached by shrapnel fire at long range,
and hence the need of the turrets. They
have been erected on the coast defences
of all the leading countries of Europe,
and are said to be impregnable.
