A rOUXG HAN JUMPS FROM THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE, Plunging Headlong Down ISO keel Into the East River* “Stcve v Brcd : e, tin ex-nowaftcy and pe-les trian, jumped from the Brco.dyn Bridge Friday afternoon, tha 2’d, and was taken from the water uninjured. Shortly before ! o’clock an open truck containing three men drove upon the New Yelk roadway of th: bridge and paired fella pUliceman stafoned there unnoticed. The truck waa about 250 feet beyoad that War, at a paint where the bridge is fully 120 feet above tho watar.when Brodie jumped to tha roadway nn.1 ran to¬ ward tha side of the bridge. Only an instant did ho stop to th:ow o f his ccat, and clad, in a red flannel shirt with boots, hat and trousers on, ho climt ei over tha low iron lattice work which srrves to protect the roadway from the dizzy depth below, and with the agi ity of a (at, t lambsred down and hung by his arms from one of the iron girders dri which run along below tho bridge. I he ver of the tru :k and a policeman rushed to the spot The/ were too late to accomplish cohered anything. The jpolicenmu wildly had a printer named Waterman, who •M accompanied hat Brodfe in the tiuck. are you grabbing me for?” cried Waterman. “There's the man who’s trying to this jump,” «nd he pointed to Brodie, who by time Was climbing-down the railing. The poiicsfrau made a dash'.Ur bim, but to catch Brodie it would have bcea nece-sevy to fol¬ low- him, and for this the officer ' had no stomach. as “My he leaned God, he's going the to railing, drop!” wildlv he exclaimed, over brand¬ ishing below his arms toward the man who hung him. Nothing could have been nearer the truth. Brodie hung for a second or two from the girder, until he was sure of his bal an e: then his body shot downward, and, whether for life or cleat ft, the leap was made. A. le w °f Brodie’s friendy were in the secret xrf his intended leap. Three of them—Paul Butler, “Jerry” Kane and “Tim” Brennan y» T ere haul in a rowboat below the bridge, waiting to him out. About thirty other persons stood on one of the piers. They had been watching last they for Brodie’s appearance, and when at saw him suspended in the air far above ;heir head.,they brcaVand —d. Until he was within fiftvfeet of tho water, the foolhardy man frll straight as an arrow, his arms extended above his head. .Ihea ns if by a great effort, like amau who is .’raiiihg Ins himself upon a horizontal bar,he drew arms downward until his clenched fist? “ n « level with his breast. His legs, wbiSi had until now remained straight and stiff; 1 arted and bent at the knees, and he struck rhe water in the position of a man who is seemed gathering impossible his forces to stort tt?* in a race, lt could that in ■ tion - - L water. successfully The-two sustain thl fSSZnijf 01 three 1 w i w wai w eternity!. safety, Yet be came to ibe surfact-iu with an extremely red face, it ls true, but apparently uninjured, and blowing the water from his mouth with a long breath, he edly styuck out to swim on his back as unconcern¬ as if ho had only dived from one of the piers. His friends. in the boat immediately pulled and toward him. He caught sight of theip “Bully greeted boy,” them with tho cheery cry of which under the circumstances *nnst be looked upon as a piece of excusable self-appreciation. managed While “Tim” Brennan the oars, Faul Butler and “Jerry” Kane jumped overboard and swam toward the hero. Butler al nost reached him, but his assistance was not needed, aud Brodie and Kane clambered into the boat and p ulled away for the Bridgi pier, leaving Butt er to liis fate in the water, Once in the boat and in safety, Brodie rather “went to pie "os. ’ His friends, how¬ ever, had a bottle of brandy, and they made liberal applications of the liquid, both inter¬ nally mfllionces and externally. Under these reviving Brodie soon < nme around, and when the pier was reached he climbed out of tha br at and walked about as if jumpiug 120 feet had never kdled anv ODe before. A po ii emati whose attention had been called to th • jum 1 had-rushed madly through the crowd on the Dover sh eet pier, and was ges little liculatiug Fourth like a malman at Brodie.

He was perfectly sober at the time he jumped, but since he had been hauled into the beat a formidab 0 amount of stimu¬ lants had been poured into him, aiid the ex¬ cited condition in which hi was probably rendered the effect of the alcohol more sud¬ den and more strikiug than it would other¬ wise have been. As the doctor was exam¬ ining him, Brodie writhed and shouted as if in g eat agouy, but the' physician finally pronounced him uninjarel, save for a tew bruises on the chest, which were probably made « bile he was clambering into the boat.
