JU MPED TO DEATH.
Thomas Donaldson, the Champion
Diver, Probably Fatally Injured in
Madison Square Garden, Yesterday.

New York March S.-Thomas Donald
son, of Bath Beach. L. l., known the
world over as champion high diver,
dove from the roof of Madison Square
Garden, distance of eighty-ive feet,
this afternoon, with probably fatal re-
suits.
Donaldson travelled for some years
with Barnum & Bailey, and has been
the star attraction ar the sportsmen's
show now running in the Garden. He
has been making two dives daily. The
tank is less than eight feet deep, and
on two or three former occasions DON
aldson did not have the success eX-
pected and came out of the water with
hemOrrhages from the nose and ears.
Harry Cornish has charge of the water
sports and it was he who this after
noon gave Donaldson the signal to dive.
and saw the famous diver lean from
the platform and falling slowly forward
make the plunge. He shot straight
downward, but it was plain before he
had got half the distance that he had
lost control of his body. He struck the
water head first and failed to come up
Small circles of blood came bubbling
up from the bottom and Harry Reeder,

several times and finally Donaldson
was brought to the surface He was
apparently dead. with blood flowing
from his mouth, nostrils and ears and
from wounds on the head. Donaldson
was carried to one of the dressing
rooms and attended by several physi-
clans. He was then removed to the
New York hospital. He has a frac-
tIred skull. with compression of the
brain, and the left side of his face is
crushed in. The surgeons at the hos
pital say that his death is a question
Of hours.
Witnesses of the accident say that
as Donaldson left the platform the col
ors which were wrapped about him be-
came loose. His attention was diverted
and he did not have his wits about
him when he struck the water. He
weighed more than 200 pounds and
struck with terrific force
Donaldson was forty-fve years of age.
Just before making this dive he said
he intended to challenge Kearney T.
Speedy, the champion high jumper Of
the world.

OUR SHIP IN THE GULF.

Washington, March S.-Next Tues
day the inhabitants of the little port
of Puerta Cortez, on the Gulf coast of
Honduras, will see anchored in their
harbor for the first time probably the
entire North Atlantic squadron of the
United States. Admiral Sampson will
go there directly from Havana and pos
sibly the appearance of the ships may
stimulate the Hondurian government
to action in the case Of the murder of
Mr.. Pears, native of Pittsburg, Pa,
who was shot by a sentinel on &C
count of his ignorance of the Spanish
language. The commander of the Ma
chias has been looking into the case,
but it is supposed that the Honduran
government has neglected our request
to investigate it.

THE FRENCH ARMY.
One Hundred and Seventy Five Mil
lion Dollars for lis Support During
the Coming Year.

PARIS, March Sin the Chamber of
Deputies the debate on the army budget
led to the usual references to the necessi-
ty for preparedness against Germany and
to comparisons of the two armies. The
members OF the House, while complaining
of the budget, which aggregates S15Ot0,0-0
francs admitted the impossibility of re-
trenching in the face of the necessity of
meeting German increases by correspond
ing additions.
The minister of war, NJ. De Freycinet,
admitted that the French effective was in
ferior to the German; but he pointed out
that it was impossible to remedy this ow-
ing to the lack of population. The minis
ter also expressed the belief that mere
numbers above a certain point DID not add
to the effectiveness of the army as the
excess beyond that point could only act
as reserves and he was convinced that the
fate of a conflict would be decided before
the reserves could be employed. 1t is not
necessary, therefore, the minister said,
to be alarmed about neighboring increases.
France must meet quantity by quality.
the rifles and guns of the French army
were without Their equals, and the coun-
try. therefore. might await the future
with confidence.

when Gardner went to Hot Springs, and
announced that he proposed to recuper-
ate, he would not take part in a ring
contest for six weeks at least. The fol-
lowing Associated Press telegram in

charge of attempting TO poison her hus-
band began on Monday last, was to-day
sentenced to five years penal servitude.
AS she was leaving the court room the
prisoner made a futile attempt to commit
suicide by stabbing herself with hat pin.
Her demeanor was smiling and nonchal-
ant even while the Advocate General
pressed home the proofs of her guilt and
of the sordid and shameful character of
her married life, and showed her motives
to commit the crime in her vanity and
love of pleasure and society.
Her counsel made a strong plea on her
behalf, dwelling strongly on the conflict
ing medical testimony and upon the lack
of motive.
The public, having expected an aequit-
tai, was taken completely by surprise
by verdict of guilty, with extenuating
circumstances"

raised it to LAWYERS jaw, putting the
latter on the floor. He arose before be-

WEDDING THEM OUT.
The Police Force Starts Commendable
Work in the Second Ward

The Police Force Starts a Commendable
Work in the Second Ward.
Chief of Police Clemans has insti-
tuted determination proceedings against
the disreputable characters in the Sec
ond ward. If he continues in his COM
mendable work the public will applaud
his efforts.

alias Robert" Bell, colored, and John
GifIin, white. They were arraigned in
police court yesterday morning, where
they were charged with being known
thieves. w. P. Robinson appeared for
the colored man. The evidence did not
sustain the charge and both were dis
missed.
Later they were arrested on more
specific charges. Giffin was taken be-
fore Justice Rogers and arraigned on
a charge of issuing a bogus check.
Giffin is exceedingly suave and smooth.
He is accused Of taking small sum
from the pocket of an oil man and Civ
ing him bogus check when he threat
ened to make trouble. He has several
aliases. He was held for court in de-
fault of $500 bond.
Bell was taken before United States
Commissioner Geo. Boyd, Jr., and
charged with attempting to pass a
counterfeit coin. His bond was fixed
at 5000.
