New York, June 5-Robert Bidwell. 80
years old, who recently came to New
York from Jacksonville, Fla, leaped to
death from the brooklyn bridge yester-
day afternoon. Many people saw him
jump. He had an American flag in each
hand. His body was recovered He
had evidently prepared for the jump for
he wore a life preserver and his body
was swathed with towels, which were
evidently intended to lessen the impact
when he struck the water. A number
of newspapers were stuffed between his
body and the life preserver.
BidWelFs father was, fifteen years ago

GOVERNOR GREGORY DEAD.
Rhode Island Chief MagiHtrate Suc-

Rhode Island Chief Magistrate suc-
cumbs to Dright's Disease.
WEXFORD, II. l., Dec. 17.-Wil-
liam Gregory, governor Of Rhode Is-
land and Providence Plantations, is
dead at his home here of acute Bright's
disease following a succession of III.
nesses. After an indispositi0n of nearly
two months he returned last Friday to
the state capital. and his death was
the indirect result of a cold contracted
then, which brought on ur;smic c0nvul-
sions. Governor Gregory was the first
governor of the state to die in Office for
nearly century and half. Under
the constitution Lieutenant Governor
Charles Dean kimball of Providence
becomes the acting governor for the
remainder of the term and on Jan. Z,
1902, will be sworn in as governor Of
the state for the term to which Gov
ernor Gregory had been elected on the
9Th of last month.
William Gregory, the twenty-ninth
governor under the constitution, was
an example of self made man. From
a loom tiXer he became mill superin-
tendent and finally owner of two
WOrsted mills. He was president of
national bank and a director of several
Of the foremost banking institutions in
the state.
Governor Gregory was born in Asto-
ria, N. u, Aug. 3, 1S49. and received
his early education in Westerly. In
1875 he married Harriet Vaughan, who,
with her two children, survive him.

In a manner to insure the acceptance

ate, and 1t Is even possible that the

body before the holiday recess. The de-
cision Of the supreme court in the in
