HIS LAST LEAP.

Bridge Jumper Stanley Probably Fatally Hurt.

A FOOLISH LEAP FROM A HIGH BRIDGE.

Spring-* from the Structure Hetween CiuolmiMti nnd Covington I)ln« tttuoe of Over 100 Feet— llftdly Injured.

MAY END IN DKATU.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.—Meredith Stanley, the bridge jumper, made what in all probability will prove a fatal leap Saturday morning from tho Ciuciuuati I and Covington suspension bridge, a distance of over 100 feet, into the Ohio river. Only a few weeks ago Stanley and his wife mado a successful double leap from the Chesapeake & Ohio bridgoSince then they liavo been on exhibition at a dime museum hero. Stanley is now lying in his bed iu his room at 1000 Vine street suffering intensely and unable to talk. Ilis side Is badly hurt and it is feared he has received fatal injuries.

Jtlnkeit Liro for 820.

A party of men a few weeks ago raised a purse of 825 which they offered to Stanley and his wife to leap from the bridge together. Saturday morning she refused on uccount of the purse being too small and the water too cold. She accompanied her husband down town and then went to see her mother while he went to the river, telling her he intended making the jump. Three hours later she was informed that her husband was seriously hurt and hurried home to find him in bed suffering.

Once Too Often.

All knowledge of the proposed jump was confined to those who had subscribed to the purse. At the hour named ho walked out to the center of the bridge and hastily divested himself of his coat, vest and pants, jind in his shirt and a pair of red tights mado tho leap. As he jumped he saw a piece of wood floating in the water and turned his body in tho descent to avoid striking it. In consequence ho fell on his side and when he sank into tho water he did not reappear very soon. When ho did come up it was seen that he was hurt. A boat took him to shore where he was dressed and taken home.

Itan Away with the Tursp. Those who subscribed to the pnrso were alarmed at the result and made themselves scarce without handing over the money. "We needed the money so badly," said his wife, a pretty, black-eyed young woman, "or ho would never have made this jump Stanley has made altogether over twen-ty-five leaps from bridges.

A CONFERENCE ON WOOL-

Agrecment to Reduce Rntea of Duty on Manufactured Goods. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The democratic members of the ways and means committee held another prolonged conference on the Springer wool bill. The result was an agreement of the rates of duty on manufactures of wool, which is favorable to the low tariff members tho committee reducing nil duties below 40 per cent, under the prenr.t law as well as those above 4U per cent The agreement reached has yet to be voted on as a whole, the action being on each paragraph of the wool and woolea schedules separately.

The greatest rate of duty provided for is 45 per cent, on ready-made clothing, dolmans, jackets, ulsters and wearing apparel, on which, under the present law, 00 per ccnt. duty is imposed. The greatest reduction made from this 40 per cent duty under the Mills bill is in cheap blankets, woolen hats and flannels for underwear, the duty on which is cut down to 25 per cent.
