His During Leap at Niagara Falls. t Bib Dinplurcil hy thr Shoal I'pon Striking tin Water llonorsn Abnn* tlir (Mini* 'Ids. nin lln.i* BtTPTAl/O, November7.—“1 value toy life as highly us any one,” Lawrence At. Dntm- van, the New York pressman who matle himself notorious bv jumping from the Brooklyn bridge, said to a correspondent the other day when talking of a proposed jump from the new suspension bridge at Niagara Falls. “I won't make the jump unless i can mnke some money by 11, and I wouldn't make it at all If 1 thought that the chances were not in my favor for get ting through all right.” Larry must have changed his mind, on one point at least, for this morning, short ly before 7 o’clock, he jumped from the tiridge, and he says, "I ain’t a dollar richer Ibr it, either.” " What, made you do it, then 7” was ssked. 11 1 did it out of respect to the newspa pers of the United .Slates, which have treated me handsomely since my Brooklyn bridge jump. ” No matter how absurd this reason may appear, certain it is that the jump was ninde, and successfully, too. Donovan visited the falls a week ago to-day, and tpent a portion of the time in looking over tne bridge end rivor. His tlrst scheme was to jnmp from the old bridge at the edge of Che rapids, but no bout could bo stationed there to pick him up. Then he concluded to make the jump and go through the rap- kls, hut lie finally decided to experiment first, and so chose the new bridge for a jump. Friday afternoon J. Haley, a Buf falo sport, who has been acting us a trainer for Donovan since his stay in this city, went to the falls and mude arrangements with Thomas Hines, a ferryman, for a boat to be in readiness at 6 o'clock this morn ing. laist night at midnight 11a,’ey, Dono van and a few newspaper men, all who knew of the intended jump, went to Sus pension Bridge, where they spent the ■ight. At an early hour this morning Donovan took a light breakfast of raw eggs and ootfee, and in company with the others left for the falls in a buggy. So carefully hadeverytbing been arranged that, though rumors were afloat that the jump would be made, none knew the hour, and even the bridge tenders did not mistrust any thing when the buggy drove onto the Bridge. It stopped just at the centre from the American shore. Donovan immedi ately alighted and quickly mounted the tailing of the bridge. He was dressed in the same suit used in the Brooklyn bridge jnmp—a white shirt, blue drawers, canvas »hoes and black skull cap. The shoes had tine insoles, which Donovan said were charged with electricity. The seat of his drawers was slightly padded, that, being his only protection. At H:G7 o’clock the signal was given by the tiring of a pistol, at which Donovan jumped out from the failing. The floor of the bridge is 185 feet from the water, the railing being live feet high er, muking the jump to the surface of the water 190 feet These figures are the re sult of recent and careful measurements. No air was stirring at the time Donovan made his leap and his descent was nearly straight. Four seconds were occupied iii the descent, and Donovan struck the wa ter in an almost upright position, inclining slightly to the rent- and left. He was un der water but a few seconds, and rose some twenty-five or thirty feet from where he struck. Dovovan thinks lie went down under water about twenty feet. When he came to the surface lie swam to I lie boat overcast with dark shadows, and in grop ing about in search of relief my attention was culled to Swift’s Specific (S. S. 8.) I concluded at once to test it. and did so with the happiest results. The sore disap peared, and my face is well. My mother had a cancer on the nose, and it was eating away that organ with alarming rapidity. I sent her one dozen bottles of Swift’s Specific, wbinh she used according to directions. The sore soon eras -d to eat, and. all inflaintnntion disap peared, and the great, hole made by the cancer closed up and healed over com pletely. My mother is now well, and has neon for over a vear.

John Murray, of Sandwich, Mass., has met more than his match in a ghost. This ghost has haunted his house until he is wild with fright. His hair stood on end nightly, but ho had presence of mind enough to throw bootjacks, shoes and kitchen utensils at the apparition. They all went through her, however, as though she had been a shadow, and that settled the matter. John moved out and the ghost has possession of the premises.—New York Herald. “BOIKIII OS PILES.” Why suffer Piles? Immediate relief and complete cure guaranteed. Ask for “Rough on Piles.

Canadin'i shore, where the carriage j NKIRXY HEX. was in waiting to bring him to the Ameri- I Wells' “Health Rcnewer” restores health oan side, He was tnkon to a hotel, where j and vigor, cures Dyspepsia, Impotence, his wet clot hes were taken off and an ex amination made hy a physician. When Donovan left the boat he had n slight, attack of spitting blood, and seemed rather weak. Alter half an hour’s sleep he was able to get up and dress. A car riage took him to the station, where he drank a cup of coffee, ami then came to this city. When he reached the hotel after his jump he saiil he would not make the leap again for a million dollars, but after thinking it over he concluded Unit about a thousand dollars would catch him for an other jump next summer. After ills ar rival here Donovan had a good sleuii, after which he talked for some time with a cor respondent. Another and careful exam ination made by Buffalo physicians dis closes the fact his third rib is displaced on the left side, and that his the pleura was injured by the dislocation. The doctors think be will probably suffer from an at tack of pneumonia or pleurisy, as one lung is injured, but in case either does not ap pear he will be all right in a few days. Donovan, in speaking of his sensations, snys that as he struck the water a severe electrical shuck passed through him. It. seemed as though he would never come up again, and when lie did he was dazed and almost senseless. The water was very I obilly. As'he leaped from the bridge he took a long breat h and stiffened his mus- oles preparatory to the shock he knew war Doming when he struck the water. “I feel pretty sore, and it hurts me right, here,” he said, putting his hand on Ills I chest just above the heart. “! knew," he continued, “that if 1 made the jump sue-I eessfully there would lie money in it in the ftature outside of dime museums, which I wiil never go into if I were to get a salary of $2000 a week. 1 was figuring up Satur day the amount of money I would have made since 1 jumped from the Brooklyn bridge if 1 had accepted all the oilers I have received from dime inns inns. It footed up about *1150. No, sir, I wouldn’t degrade myself by going into a dime museum. No sporting man will do it. When I met John L. Sullivan in New York he patied me on the back and com plimeiiteci me lor not doing “it,” and tli- pride that was manifest in Donovan as he made this remark was beyond com pute. “But,” he added, “I don’t want, to he misunderstood as referring to profes sional variety shows.” Donovan 1ms a number of plans in view for next summer. He will do no more jumping this year, bid next summer he proposes to jump the Genesee Fulls where Sam Patch was killed. “I think, he says, ”it is a very easy jump, only 96 fbet. ' if i am successful at the Genesee Fulls 1 will swim the Niagara Rapids fur ther than Kendall did. I am glad my mother did not know that I jumped from the Brooklyn bridge until it was all over.” Donovan" registered at the Falls last night under an assumed name, fenring the police would interfere with him were it known that he contemplated jumping. Only one previous successful jump from the suspension bridge has been made. In 1873 a man named Bellini stretched a rope across the gorge between the Clifton house and Prospect park. lie had a rubber rope an inch thick and twelve feet long made, and one end was fastened to tin- rope. Walking to the centre of the gorge ho leaped off into space and sank into the ri er, coming to the surface soon after. He made a second and third trial, but t In- last time the rubber broke and entangled his feet so that he was almost poworle s in the water. When lie finally came to the surface and was secured lie was more dead than alive. , Mother and Son.
