Store Full of Women. ’A despatch from: New York says: When Joseph Liston, alias James O‘Brien, was sentenced last September to nine months on Blackwell’s Island for hurling a'stone through the plate glass window of the Berlin department store at Broadway and Willoughby avenue, Williamsburg, he swore he would be revenged. "On Tuesday afternoon Liston walked into the store, his term having expired at noon time. He went to the lace cur- tain department. He did not look like a man who knew anything about lace curtains. He asked one of the salcswo- nzcn to show him some curtains. The suleswoman turned around to take from a. shelf a box of curtains when she heard the noise of the striking of a match. It is against the rules of the store to smoke, and thinking the man CONDENSED NEWS lTEillS HAPPENINGS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE. ._...._ Telegraphic Briefs From Our Own and Other Countries of Recent Events.

A dcspatch from Niagara Falls, 0‘nt., says: More than 2,000 people who had gathered at Niagara Falls on Wednesday witnessed a sight never before seen at Niagara. This was the plunge of Rob- ert Leech. of Chipprwa, Ont., from the upper 51ch arch bridge lo the surface of the lower river. It was just 1.10 o’clock that l..e.‘ch sprang out from the (railing of the bridge and dropp-fd swift- ly towards the current 200 feet tel-ow. As he felt he outincd a large parachute, which checked his speed and in less than a half minute he had made the descent and he struck the water with a softness that hardly causxl a splash. That he was in no way overcome was cx'idcnt from lhc‘ fact that he quickly 1 struck out to swim, and within a few minutes friends in a row boat had picked him up and taken him to the Canadian shore, where he was greeted with cheers. Leech is 1-5 years old, and about 10 years ago attempted to win fame here by the rapids trip. He has since been abroad. Those who knew of his rapids performance did not think he Would make the flight on Wednesday. It is said he will repeatit, if permitted, on the fourth.

Captain Louis Allan, who sails a liner on the upper lakes, had taken Collette, his nine-yearâ€"old daugh- ter, ou‘t bathing. He was teaching her to swim when she slipped off his back, disappearing.

Nova, Ont, says: An epidemic of hydrophobia which is killing off the stock in Norfolk County, is causing consternation amongst the farmers in this district. Many farmers. have lost cattle and pigs and the danger is so serious that Dr. Burt, a veterinary surgeon of Simcoc, has telegraph-ed to Ottawa for the assist- ance of an expert in fighting the dis- ease. The trouble. was started by a. dog belonging to Valdo Olmstead, a former living a mile east. of this village. The dogr suddenly went mad, hit three of the cows and started towards Simcoc. Olm- ,stead’s cows died, as did three belong- ing to a neighbor named Graig, and thrce pigs belonging to Wm. Honey. At 'l‘yrell and farther south towards SirIIn- coc the ravages. of the disease are worse; it is feared that other dogs have been infected. So far no one has been able to capture or kill the dog which start ed the trouble- and the community is in a state of terror for fear of the chil- dren. _ â€"â€"-"1<â€"â€"â€"â€" C. P. R.
