JUMPED TO HIS DEATH.
Otto Nnegele spEInEs from the Center
of brooklyn Bridge, Seeking
Fame and Money.

New York, July Soto Naegele,
who during his career in this country
had been an artist, butcher, storekeep-
er, steward, sailor, matchmaker and
professional gambler, jumped to his
death from the center of the Brooklyn
bridge at $3.50 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. The jump was not made with sui
cidal intent, according to Gustav Myers,
his friend. Naegele's object was to Sc
cure fame and wealth, and, as he told
his friends, he desired to test a theory
of his own as to the way in which a
jump from any height could be made
into water in perfect safety. Accord
ing to Myers, Naegele's theory as to the
way safe jump could be made was
that, while flying through the air, the
perpendicular position of the body
could be easily maintained by move
ments of the head, in a general way
using it as the rudder of a ship is used
in water. Instead Naegele struck the
water horizontally.

Murphysboro, ILL.,, July 1.-At nine
o'clock Friday morning Conductor Will
liam Bryan's train, on the Johnson City
branch of the Illinois Central, bearing
AZ negro miners from Pana, was shot
into by a crowd of miners at Lawder, in
Williamson county. One negro woman
was killed by bullet through her
heart. The negroes were brought by
Sam L. Brush, superintendent of the
st, Louis and Big Muddy mines, near
Carterville, to work in his mine, where
there is now a strike. The miners, so
in number were armed with rifles and
were hidden in the grass behind the
country depot. When the train stopped
the leader, who was an Italian, got on
the platform and commanded the ne
groes to get out. Conductor Bryan in
terfered, but was stopped by a re-
volver in his face. The train began
to move and the miners poured in
whitening fire. Conductor Bryan
yelled to the negroes to throw them
selves on the floor. All escaped serious
wounds save the woman, who was killed
Instantly Half mile further and the
negroes were unladen and placed under
charge of guards. They were then
marched to the mine. Intense excite
ment prevails in the Carterville coal
field and bloody riots are expected, as
the feeling has been intense for weeks.

Ryan, of the United Mine Workers of
America, has received n message from
Thomas ,lerpmiah of Carteryille saw
ing that the negroes there are setting

SWINDLING PAwNBRoKERs.
Some Clever Tricks Thnt Have Been
successfully Worked on
Money Lenders.

people who put faith in the tradi-
tional shrewdness of pawnbrokers,"
said veteran in the business, would
be surprised if they knew how often
they are fooled into loaning more than
the value of pledge. Most of the
big shops have experts who are hard to
deceive, but they make mistakes now
and then, while with Others of less ex-
perience generalization is distressing
ly common occurrence. A certain class
of sharpers make living viGtimizing
pawnbrokers, and they regard them as
tolerably easy prey. Colored stones are
often used for that purpose, and have
known dozens of large loans to be made
on fake rubies and emeralds. The
bogus stones are usually mixed with
good ones in the setting and are hard
to detect. A few years ago an ingen-
ious chap discovered that by dipping
an off-colored diamond in a weak solu-
ton of aniline ink he could render it
temporarily blue-white and eXtraor-
dinarily brilliant. He saw fine field
for operation in the pawnshops, and
these painted diamonds,' as they were
called, were worked off all over the
country before the trick was exposed.
A big yellow stone, worth say SIS,
would look like $500 gem, and it was
no trouble at all to borrow from $3.50
to $500 on such security. The ink cost
only five cents bottle, so you see the
profits were large. Another common
swindle is n filled watch case. reen-
forced at points where it would be apt
to be tested, and pawned for solid gold.
When these watches were first made
there were very few pawnbrokers that
didn't get one or two. The works of a
watch may also be faxed, as the say
ing goes. For years a firm in Swit2er-
land made cheap works in imitation of
famous and expensive varieties, and
forged the name on the dial and inside
plate. 1t was only surface imitation,
but it was good enough to pass muster
at many n shop. Lots of men have been
forced out of business simply because
they were loaded up with worthless
pledges. They were not blockheads,
either, but the crooks were too clever
for them. IN. o. Times Democrat.

HE is A WONDER.
Bicyclist Murphy, Paced by Loco
motive, Goes n Mile in
81 4-5 Seconds.

New York, July 1.-Charles NJ. MUIR
ply, of the Kings County wheelmen,
rode mile on bicycle, paced by To-
comotivc, in 81 As seconds Friday. His
course was two-mile board track on
siding of the Long Island railroad.
Murphy followed an engine and day
coach, the latter being provided with a
hood, which acted as a wind shield for
the rider. The board track was laid
near haywood, L. l., and extended from
that station two miles east, and was
as nearly perfect to level as skill
could make it. Fully 5000 people saw
Murphy make his daring ride.
Those on the back platform who
watched Murphy all through his won
derful ride stated that the riders ham
die bar had knocked against the rubber
buffer at least six times, and each time
the concussion sent him back fully six
feet but Murphy always had strength
enough to regain this distance. During
the last quarter of mile the rider COW
cred the ground for the greater part
fully a wheels length outside of the
hood, but as he passed the finish he was
close up. just then two strong men
on board the train reached down and
seized the rider by either arm and lift
ed him aboard the car in safety. Their
action undoubtedly saved Murphy's
life, because he was then in such weak
condition that had he been allowed to
remain on the wheel he would have
been unable to control it, and serious
if not fatal accident might have hap
pened.
Murphy rode a 2s-inch wheel, geared
to 12O, 6h crank hangers, and the
weight of the machine was 2Oh pounds.

DREYFUS is In PORT.
The Noted Frenchman Is Landed
at Quiberon.
Taken by Trnin and Carriage to
Rennes nnd Placed in Prison
Lnrgc But Orderly Crowd Wit
nesses His Arrival.

Rennes, July Capt. Dreyfus ar
rived here early this morning. The
man whose Imprisonment on Devils is
land has stirred the whole world was
not landed at Brest, as official announce
ments had led the people to expect. In
stead, he was brought by the French
cruiser SfaX to Quiberon, and from
there was taken by train to Bruz. The
distance from Bruz to Rennes-about
eight miles-was covered in a carriage,
Capt Dreyfus, being accompanied by
a high police official. Ten 'gendarmes,
riding in a wagon, followed the car
riage, and the other guards followed
on foot.
Large Crowd Collected.
In spite of the early hour at which the
party arrived at the prison there was a
large crowd waiting TO get glimpse of
Dreyfus. There was no disorder. The
authorities admitted Friday evening
that they expected Capt. Dreyfus to
reach here early this morning. They
would not say, however, by which route
he was coming. The alertness of the
police was accepted as conclusive evil

reached that he would be brought by
some route least expected in order to

News Reaches Paris.
Paris, July 1.-Reliable news has
reached Paris regarding the arrival of
Capt. Dreyfus at Rennes. A strong west
wind began to blow at midnight, and
fog was reported on the coast of Brit
tany, so that it was considered impossi-
BILE to discover the approach of the ves-
sci. 1t was thought probable, there
fore, that Capt. Dreyfus had been land
cd unpcrceived.
Dreyfus' Condition Is bad.
Reports received from reliable sources
in the last few days represent Capt.
Dreyfus as being in rather bad state
of health. 1t is expected here that the
trial will occur the middle or end of
| July. Maitre Demange, Capt. Dreyfus'
lawyer in 1894; Maitre Mornard, who
pleaded for Mime. Dreyfus before the
court of cessation, and Maitre Labori,
NJ. Zola's advocate in the novelist's fa-
nous trial-the three most distin-
| guished members of the Paris bar
were in consultation Thursday. The
result is the two first will go to Rennes
to-day to see Capt. Dreyfus. The pris-
oner's two lawyers will decide whether
or not his physical condition will per-
init an immediate trial.

Testimony to show That Mr..
Barnet Died From Natural Causes.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2O-Several wit
nesses were examined today in the cor
oner's investigation into the poisoning
of Mrs. Kate J. Adams, without appar-
emily throwing any light upon the mys-
terry.
The feature of the day was the tes-
timony Of Mrs. Rogers, daughter of
Mrs. Adams. She was on the stand
when the inquest adjourned She will
be cross examined tomorrow, after
which Mrs. Molineaux will be put on
the stand. Mrs. Rogers was very much
ag1tated, appearing to be i'll and the
attorneys were not severe with her.
When Mrs. Rogers was called to the
stand she was accompanied by her
friend, Mrs. Hovey. Assistant District
Attorney Osborne invited her to tell the
circumstances Of her mothers death,
and she told almost the same story
that Cornish and Hovey had told of the
occurrences of the morning of Deem
Der %. She said Cornish was sick in
the bath room and Or. Hitchcock had
given her a tablet for him.
Mrs. Rogers told of the receipt Of the
package and poison bottle by Cornish
as told by Cornish to her. She saw the
handwriting on the wrapper, and said
it looked to her like ladys handwrit-
ing disguised.
David Murdoch, a bookseller and sta
toner, from whom Mrs. Rogers. the
daughter of Mrs. Adams, rented a pri-
vate letter box under the name Of
Miss ADDISON" testified that Anna
V. Addison" rented a letter box from
him for three years prior to 1897. She
received a great many letters. which
were regularly collected. Through g
friend Of his, DR.. Vidder, he subse-
quently learned that Miss Addeson's
name was really Mrs. Rogers. Mrs.
Rogers became indignant when she dis
covered that her identity was known.
and withdrew her patronage.
DR.. H. B. Douglass, who attended
Barnet in his last illness, told the jury
that his patient did not die Of poison
ing, though he admitted that Barnet
told him that he had taken some medi-
cine sent to him in a kutnow powder
package This package. DR.. Douglass
said, contained cyanide Of mercury.
The doctor insisted that Barnet had
false" diphtheria and that his death
was due to heart disease.
The district attorney announced, late
this afternoon, that he had not yet de-
cided when Cornish would be put on
the stand.
