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. T. S. Maiien.

nightly, but ho had presence of mind
enough to throw bootjacks, shoes and

the matter. John moved out and the

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.
