Congressmen Jealous of One Another's Suggestions to the Appointing Power-Marino Band Concerts Tho Illinois Senatorial Asony Finally Ended Logan Succoeda Himself After an Unprecedented Contest. LIFE IN WASHINGTON. It Flies on Angel Wings Since the Marine Hand Concerts Commenced Special to tho Sentinel. Washington, May 19. Wülle Congressmen are jealous ot their influence in makln suggestions to the appointing power, they did not take cheerfully, as a ra'e, to Postmaster Vilas circular. While the notice, eo far as I could learn, was gsnerally approved, they did not c&re to assume the responsibility of launching out as conspicuous flgcres In what might by Etyled a system of espionage. There was nothing wron?, nothing possible to critlcUo in the letter save that it imposed construed improper duties upon Congressmen, and was marked private. But that was perhaps an ingenious trlcit of his to give tho instrument publicity. A hint at feciccy gave an interest to the epijtle tbat otherwise it would not have obtained, but possibly the administration hopes for large favor from the people by moving in a mysterious way Its wonders to perform. It is to be hoped that the first Dsmocritic President in the now political order of things will not give evidence Of fearing the press. "This is the lint a imlntstration,1' was the language of a jönmalist of whose experience In Washington 19 long and repattoa is National, "that I have ever known disposed to withhold what is legitimately newt, from the public. It is impossible, and It pcslblc, it would bo impolitic In the affairs of republican Kovernmnnt, hunnn nature dMiiands to be tatao into confidence.

Mr. Winans. the defendant, was present with his lawyers. The parties to the action sat opposite each other, but Winans gave no sga of recognition, but stroked his beard nervously from time to time, while h!s alleged wife leisurely and gracefully fanned herself. The table of the refene was strewn with photograph" of Winans, taken at various times in England. On tbe back of one picture, where the defendant appears B3 a swell in a lond A&trakea coat, the following Is witien: "To Miss Sarlfield, as a help for tbe remembrance of Ilo83 It. Winans." On the olhtr side is inscribed: ''Ta Ailiefrom llcety, with the sweetest of klpue?, and the best of from Kcsjy to his little devil, Alice." The first witness examined was ths complainant. She testified that she first met Mr. Winans at the Laogham Hotel, in London, in lfeTl. She was introduced to him, and ha sent her gifts of books and 11 otvers. She loft the hotel soon after because Mrp. Hunt, by whom she was employed as a governess, failed to pay hor salary.

Nrw York, May Ji:. rnis afternoon a cab entered the New York entrance cf the Brooklyn bridge, and was driven to tho middle of the great span. Here the driver pulled up, and two men got out and began to climb, the railing, Baforc they had reached the top, a bridge policeman came running torvaid them, brandishing his clCb, and orderirg them to "gel down and thot." While he wai talking wsth the young men, a covered wagon containing ProfchEor Jtobcrt K. Odium nnd n companion, stopped about n hundred fet t behind tbe cab. Quickly diverting himself of tho blue llunnfl coat, in which he wai dnsred. Professor OJIum, clad in red shirt acd trunks, jumped from tbo enrr!nj;oand sprang lightly to tho railing. He quickly reached the top, nnd polslnc himself for a rr on:cnt, he rtocd erect and Rlanced hurriedly at thexurface of the Kaut Ulm far below him. Tho people on tha bridge rent up i; cry of horror when they aaw the ProfrMcr proparo to plungo oil the bridge into the river, feet IcntMh his feet. Tha policeman, wheco Attention had now b?cu directed from tho Boynton, tutted toward the Profcrtcr Beforo he had gooo a doxen feet Profeieor Odium, without a moment's hesitation, had leaped out from the railing into tho air. llo held ore Lund above hla head ai a rudder to gnldo htm. Tho river below at the mcment wai clear of shipping. A tng and a ichooner floated lazily Iu the stream several hundred yards below tbe brJdse. Tho tu was tilled with reporters and clnb mm. Boynton stood near the prow, on xlomly watching the bridge. The moment Profeteor Odium's body was seen to leayo the railing Harry A. Dixon, the actor, started a watcb, which he held iu his hand, in order to time tbe descent. For nearly a hundred feet the Professor came down all right, feet first, and he thot downward with tho speed of a meteor, his red enlt making him easily dlscernable for a longdistance. When within thirty feet of the water his body began to turn. As if realizing hfs danger, Professor' Odium brought down his hand with a warlike motion to aid him in recovering bis balance. The movement was however made teo lite. Hla body had now turned so far that it was impossible to change its course. Half a second later, with a mighty splash that threw up tbe water on all sides as if torn with a shell, Professor Odium's body struck tbe water on one side and sank out of sight. The tog hurriedly pushed itself forward to the place where the body fell, and Capton Boynton, after seeing that life preservers hsd been thrown out into the water, sprang over the sid3 of the beat, and waited for the body to come to the surface. Soou he saw the white face of the Prcfts'or rising from the water, and & moment later wa9 by his aide. .Seizing a lifepreserver near hy, he placed it beneath tbe body of the ipsecsible Professor. Blood, mingled with froth, came from tbe mouth of the daring man. Row boats soon came to the rescue, and Profe?or Odium was taken lrom the water. A few minutes later he was transferred to the tug, aud restoratives were applied. After considerable rubbing, tbe eyes of the Professor opened. ,4What kind of a jump did I make?" he whiaceied. "First-claea, my boy," replied Boy ton; but he was inrenslble again befora the words had hardly left his lips. The tug steamed hastily to her sin, and juntas the shore waa reached a shudder pss.ed through the frame of the Professor, and then, after breathing heavily once or twice, his heart stopped beating, and he was pronounced dead. The body was taSen ashore and conveyed to the undertakers. Professor Borbert E. Odium was formerly the Professor of a swimmiDg ichool, but latterly has been a clerk In Willard's Hotel. It has been hia ambition to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. He mads the attempt once beforo the bridge waa completed, but waa prevented lrom carrying out his icheme b the policeman. He was three and one-half seconds In the air bafore reaching the water. He was thirtythree years old and unmarried. Farm Residence Homed, Special to tue Sentinel. Mi-rcie, Ind., May It).
