Brown was in town the other day, says a Middletown letter to the New York Times and fell to giving reminiscences of Pater- son as he remembered the places sixty years ago. “I was born on Manhattan Island,” he said, “when all the upper part was nothing but farm lands, and I went to work in a cotton-spinning factory in Pat- terson as sweeper and errand-boy when I was 11 years old. Paterson was a small place then, and the factory was a small affair, too, but one of the owners was Sam Patch, who afterwards became famous as a high jumper. I saw him make his first jump__at Passaic_Falls. ,, L1..'... GE,“ J“'“t’ "‘ "' "““" *‘ ’ ' ' “The story of the jump is thiszâ€"Sam Patch and and a man named Brannigan were partners in the factory, and they fail- ed in business. Sam was a. Cape Cod man by birth, and had been a. sailor from a. boy up till he come to Paterson. He was a. dur- ing and reckless fellow, and could swim like a. duck. It was said that while he 11118 El. uuun. .uJ nun can... on... u“--- -_- was a sailor he often exhibited his skill and daring by jumping from the high masts of ships into the sea. After the fail- ure Sam Patch hung around Paterson with nothing to do until he got pretty hard up. Then, I suppose. the thought occurred to him that he could make a raise by jumping off the rocks at Passaic falls. So notice was given that at a certain day and hour Sam Patch would jump off the cliff at the falls into the river below, a distance of about eighty feet, for a. purse of $50, made up by some of the‘sports of tho "ma..- *1. ~ town. Few; pébbié believed that he would make the jump, but there was a. big crowd on hand to see it all the same». Sam Patch-His First and Last Leaps. “Sam came to the falls stripped to his l undershirt and drawers. He showed no, fear of nervousness, but his face was flushed. as I thought, by drink. . He took a. couple of small stones in his hands, and went to the brink of the clifl‘ and dropped them off one after the other, and watched where they struck the water down below. Then he walked back a few yards and turned and took a. little run to the brink of the cliff and jumped off, clearing the rocks about ten feet, He went down feet first, but with his body inclining consider- ably to one side, and in this shape he struck the water and disappeared. A few 1 seconds later his head bobbed up at a point down stream, and he began paddling for the shore. Then the crowd gave him a. big cheer. .1 h , ', 73,11“ .._._.. “Sam’s jump at the Pussaic Falls was considered a marvellous feat in those days and made him famous the country over. So he took to jumping for money from the masts of ships, and from bridge and other high places, and went about the country giving exhibitions. Unfortunately for him, too, he took up another practice that soon cut his career short. I didn’t see him make his last jump at the Genesee falls ‘at Rochester, Nov. 13, 1829, but those ‘ who did see the tragedy tell me that when he approached the brink to make the leap of 125 feet into the seething pool below he was dazed and unsteady from drink. He made the jump so bungingly that he struck the water flatwise instead of feet first, the concussion crushing in his breast and sending his dead body to the bottom like a stone.” Reports of iniury done to vegetation by grasshoppers st’ 1 some from parts of Min- flesota.

A Letter from W. J. King. Blinke Mo , who was hanged in Co- lumbus 3. on fifisdny last was wallknown in police circles in Toronto, having on the night of August 7, 1888, without smoment‘s.‘ warning, murdered James Maroney near the Revere house. When arrested he gave his name as Charles Andrews, and under that alias was arraigned betore Mr. J nstlce Galtatthefall assmessu uent tothe date of the murder. He pl ed. not ilty and in his pleading maintained the. the shot which produced the death of the in- offensive man was through self-defence. The jury evidently relied to a certain ex- tent upon this testimony and brou ht in a verdict of manslaughter against 13 e ri- soner. The verdict did not give satis ac- tion, as the eneral opinion was that Mor gan was gui ty of the higher crime, and that Maroney was foully and feloniously put to death. The court sentenced the prisoner to five years in the Kingston peni- tentiary, and on a charge preferred at the same time of shooting at an oflicer with in- tent to kill he was given four years, but the sentences were made to run concur- rently. AT THE PEXITENTIARY. At Kingston Morgan did not show any vicious disposition, being always content if left alone and not compelled to do too much work. He was meditating escape ‘ all the same, as the s uel will show, and ‘the manner in which e efi'ected his pur- pose was in keeping with his criminal in- ; genuity. After considerable toil he made a hole through the thick wall, and while ‘ the prisoners were engaged in a general f muster, Morgan and a fellow- risonernam- ed Kennedy bade farewell to ingston peni- tentiary forever. Nothing transpired at Morgan’s trial to show that he immediately, on arriving in the States, commenced open and active criminal operations. He was taught a. les- son in Toronto. e escaped with his neck and life, and su se uently freed himself from the thraldom 0 law by fli ht to an- other country. But the crimin instincts of such a brutal nature could not belong re- pressed, if they were at all.

Police aptain Henry Hoehn and Detective Hull- igan, of the Cleveland force, were despatch- ed Pittsburg to bring the “ kid" back. THRILLIN G RESCUE. . McMunn was accordingly placed on a. train bound for Clevelan , sitting beside ‘ Detective Hulllgan, and securely shackled ‘ ; to him. Hoehan sat opposite, always keep- ‘ ing an eye on a character of such a noto- rious record. Everything went on all right until the arrival ol the train at Ravenna, a small town in Portage county, and distant from Cleveland about 30 miles. Few pas- sengers were in the car, the majorityr of them being shabbily and dirtily clad. wo of them rose to leave the car. and when opposite the officers, stood, and fora mo- ment looked at their victims. In the twink- ling of an eye revolvers were levelled at the heads of the officers, but no effort was put forth to fire the contents. Hulligan. iowever, was viciously struck on the back of the head with a coupling pin, sinking to of the head with a. can ling pin, smng to the floor as irffldead, T en {glloxyed an} my: vuv uvv. m -- ..-.v._, ful and thrilling scene. Revolvers were fired, lamps were broken, and 1i hts were put out, while the curses and oat s of the assailants lent their own si ificance to the awful tragedv which was cing enact- ed. In the midst of all this, McMunn dragged Hulligan, still unconscious, to the railway platform, and taking from the officer‘s pocket the key of the manacles, the prisoner was instantly freed from his chains. He plun ed with his rescuers into the darkness. am disappeared as quickly as they ell‘ected the rescue. MORGAN CA UOET AT LAST. Hulligan di'ed four days afterwards and for months not a trace of his Slayers could be found. They were, however, identified by the detectives. the general opinion be- ing that Blinkey Morgan was at the head of the bloody %ng of ruflians sought after. In June, 1887, linkey, after makin a. des- Rerate resistance, was arrested at pena, Iichigan. “With him were two other bad- ly wanted characters, .who gave their names as Charles Robinson and James Coughlin.

Butler succeeded in-an- gering her by a sharp and irritating cross examination. After many interruptions the witness said that the defendent had been seen to “shy a book at his wife’s head.” “ Shy? Shy a. book? What do you mean by that? Will you explain to the court what the word “shy’ means? The young girl leaned over the railing and asked her sister’s counsel for a copy of “Cushing’s Manual,” which lay on the desk before him. She hurled the volume at Gen. Butler’s head with all the force she could command. It was a good shot and had not Butler divined her purpose in time it would undoubtedly have hit the mark. “ I think the court now under- istands the meaning of the word ‘ shy.’ ” ‘said the judge, and the girl was allowed 1 to finish her testimony without further interruption.
