Brooklyn Bridge.

New York, Aug. I'm sight Of hun
dreds of passengers on the Brooklyn
bridge, a well dressed man. whose
identity is not known, leaped from a
surface car bound for Brooklyn this

through the railing to the river below.
He was seen to turn three times in the
air, and then strike the water head

was riding was stopped as soon as he
left it, and the motorman and a num-
ber of passengers gave chase, but
reached the edge of the bridge only
in time to witness the plunge in the
river. Policemen in row boat search
ed in vain for the body.
