A Model Jury System.
The United States District and Cir-
cuit Courts of Philadelphia have a
model jury system which should be
followed by Connecticut.
The jurors for these courts are ob-
tained by information {sought and ob-
tained from intelligent men in every
county of the district. A circular,
signed by the commissioner and the
clerk, is sent to men of high character
and intelligence, who are requested. to
furnish a given number of names of
“sober honest and discreet persons of
your county whom you deem suitable
for jurors, having regard to health and
age as well as other qualifications, and
to whom you would be willing to sub-
mit a case for arbitration.” These cir-
culars are sent in a confidential way to
men who are known to be disinterested
in the selection of jurors. The names
are furnished in confidence and when
received afe placed in the wheel under
the immediate inspection and approval
of both a jury commissioner and a- clerk.
Thc result of this system has been to
establish jurors in both the United
States Circuitand District Courts of
the highest standard of intelligence and
character. Indeed, so generally im-
partial and well qualified are the jurors
in these courts that counsel seldom in-
quire about them or strike names from
the list when calling a jury. It is just
such a jury system as should be had in
every court of Connecticut, and it
pointedly illustrates what could be at
trained in the way of jury reform to cor—
rect the present system and place none
but good men in the jury box. By this
system the jurors are placed above all
political and personal control and jus-
tice is judicially administered in the
courts.

A Religious View.
The religious war which has been in
progress at Danielson for some time
developed last night rate a riot of quite
serious proportions. Shortly after a
portion of the French Catholics severed
their connection Wltll the local church,
two evangelist preachers began to ad-
minister to the spiritual wants of the
dissenters in open air meetings. At al-
most every meeting the speakers have
received rough treatment. Last night,
however, the mob was so violent that ,
the borough police was summoned.
The preachers were stoned, and the
lady singers were insulted. A large
number Of arrests were made and a cru-
sade is on foot to prevent another out-
breik.

Ofthe Sentinel Edition of the En-
cyclopedla Britannica.
Editor of Sentinel.
DEAR sz—In writing a letter of
commendation of the Johnson Cyclo-
pedia it was not my intention to cast
any reflection upon “Britannica.”
Iliave owned and used almost daily
for years the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its merits and worth are beyond ques:
tion. Isis a vast storehouse of know-
ledge and a library in itself. Any—
one who buys this edition of Britannica
which the Sentinel is chiming for
349.50, will make no mistake. They
will thus secure a rich treasure for a
small amount of money.
In answer to your questions—Dc you
consider a condensed Encyclopedia, in
any form of as much value as this new
edition of Britannica to a family who
owns butfew books and who are un-
able to buy books on all twice?
I can say with Dr. Dunning that, in
my opinion the great majority of peo—
ple would undoubtedly find this new
edition of the Britannica to be the
most valuable investment.

He Had 9. Fit.
A party of Danbury “salt. air seek-
ers” had an experience yesterday, that
they will notsocn forget. Tari- had
visited Ball island, its‘ron Point, and
other points of int:.~rest on our saline
lavcd shores. After having enjoyed
themselves in the moist arms of the
sound, their attention was alirxcted to
what they believed to be a sin serpent
swimming"lilong (sub road, it was an
oar which “Specie!” Smith lost from
his yacht, Iz'l'l‘ff 1)., about two weeks
ago.) So intent were they in watching
the bobbing in and out of the water of
the reptile, they lost all all calculation
of limo and the hour of the train’s de-
parture which was to take them home
was forgotten.
The fact that the train had gone was
rought to their attention by a lad
from Eist Nor-Walk who swam out and
captured the “serpent.”
A member of the party telephoned to
Solmau’s stables and a four-horse car-
ryall was sent to the rescue, The con-
veyance was quickly loaded and the
party started off in high glee for Dan-
bury.
When on South Main street, and in
front of Expressman Hunt’s residence
several of the party were seen to hur-
riedly leave the vehicle which had come
to a stop. It was then learned that one
of the party had been taken with a. fit.
Mr. Hunt rendered valuable aid and
Dr. Bohannan was summoned. ‘
The patient was taken to a hotel after
which the party proceeded on their
way. The man was reported as being
all right this morning.

JOHNSON’S ENCYCLOPEDIA.
Opinion of a Norwaik Expert. .
After a careful examination of J ohu-
son’s EncyOIOpedia, I can frankly state
that it is a most valuable and excellen
work. I was particularly pleased with
the manner in which the scientific
items were written, seemingly with the
express View of giving concise and ac-
curate information in such a simple
way, or. the most complicated subjects,
that they can be comprehended by the
laymen as well as the scholar.
The happy combination of brevity
and completeness of the descriptions is
noteworthy in itself, and one is im-
pressed at a glance that all matters
treated are up to date.
I greatly enjoyed renewing the ar-
ticles treating the subjects of electri-
city and steam, in both of which I am
deeply interested. In each instance
the reading matteris simple and cor-
correct, havmg been gleaned from
sources with which I am familiar, and
the illustrations are drawn with as
much care as those of the modern
text-books.
The general make-up of the work is
elegant and I consxder it a most neces-
sary adjunct to a complete library.

THE BANNOGK INDIANS.
The Braves Are Angry, and a. General
Massacre of \Vliites Is Feared.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 24.—Advlces
from Jackson’s Hole indicate that the po-
sition of the settlers is becoming very crit-
ical, and unless the troops get there quick~
ly it is probable that a general massacre
of whites will take place.
Thirty-five men left Jackson Hole for
Hobuck canyon to arrest Indians for kill-
ing elk cows and otherwise breaking the
game laws. Thcy took 17 Indians prison-
ers. On the way back the reds attempted
to escape, and a fight ensued in which all
the Indians were killed but one papoose.
Several of the whites were severely
wounded, but none will die.
The Bannock Indian warriors are as-
sembling in force on the Hoback river and
are sending away their squaws and chil-
dren, which indicates that they mean to
fight.
The Indians are greatly incensed at the
killing of‘ the prisoners, and the situation
is so critical that a general rising may oc-
cur at any moment. ‘The Bannocks are
said to be 400 strong.
Latest advices from Governor Richards
state that it is believed that the Princeton
geological survey party is s~"‘.-.'o Ian, The
cavalry troops are pushing no the scene of
hostilities with all possible speed. VMean—
time the settlers are intronchcd and await-
ing an attack by the Indians.
POCATELLO, Ida, July 24.—Reports re.
garding the conflict between the settlers
in J ackson’s Hole country and the Indians
differ. It is said that the actual news of
the fight has been suppressed, and that at
least four Indians were killed. White
Bear, captain of the Indian police, has ad-
mitted that he took care of the bodies of
the four dead Indians.
Indian Agent» Tetcrs felt so alarmed
that he left for the scone to assist in start-
ing the hunters home. He will, it is said,
request that the Seventh infantry from
Fort Russell, at Cheyenne, or the Eighth
cavalry, from Boise, be sent to the place
of trouble.
About a week ago word was received at
the Bannock agency that several hundred
Shoshone and Bannock Indians had a fight
with the settlers,'and Indian policemen
were dispatched to send back the hunters.
They returned to their reservation, but
were not in a. peaceable state of mind.
' J . C. Houtz, a ranchman and one of the
borders, was molested while crosSing Salt
river. The Indian police brought them to
a halt With rifles. The ranchman said that
the Indians had killed a White man, his
'Wlfe and child, and that the settlers had
killed six Indians.

Callahan the First to Leap In the
Presence of Witnesses.
PIGKED UP unconscmns.
The Latest Sam Patch Declares That He
Bisked His Life on a. Wager of $1,700
Made by His Employer, a. Sa-
loon Keeper of New York.
NEW YORK, July 24,—There is a revival
in the bridge jumping industry. Yester-
day three men called at anewspaper office
and volunteered to leap from the big span
for fame or money. They got little satis-
faction. The clty is full of men who have
either leaped or who claim to have done
so, but new aspirants for the doubtful
honor crop up daily.
The latest addition to the ranks of
jumpers is Patrick Callahan, 27 years old,
of 454 Third avenue. He jumped from
the structure today, and is now in the
Hudson Street hospital, where physicians
are endeavoring to ascertain Whether he
received any internal injuries.
Callahan is a bartender in McGorry’s
saloon, Spring street and West Broadway.
He is a. single man and has some local
reputation as a swimmer and diver and
has frequently stated that he could suc-
cessfully jump from the bridge to the W8:
ter below.
At 5 o’clock Callahan and Edward Mc‘
Gorry, brother of the saloon man, stood
beside a. cab at the corner of Broadway
and Chambers street. Callahan said he
would make the jump as soon as the Wit-
nesses were in position to see that the foot
was successfully and fairly accomplished.
The Witnesses chosen were Messrs. Fred
A. Wilson and Samuel Austin.
Callahan appeared to be in good spirits
and said there was no doubt about the
success of his attempt. He had arranged
two full sized bull bladders, thoroughly in-
flatcd, to his shoulders and said he would
jump without Weights.
The witnesses started for the Dover
street wharf, where- a boat was in wait-
ing. Edward McGorry boarded it and
took a. position almost immediately under
the huge struCture.
No “Fake” About This.
A reporter, who had been notified that
the jump would be made, got into a boat
and selected a position from Which a good
view could be obtained.
About 5:55 the cab containing Callahan
passed the New York tower and a few
minutes later drew up for an instant at a
point about 20 feet from the cradle in the
center of the structure.
Callahan climbed to the 'top of the rail—
ing. He looked down an instant and saw
the two boats below. ' A fevw'hundred feet
away was a tug having a couple of mud-
scows in tow. They were coming down
the river and in a. moment would be un-
der the bridge. . ,
The bridge jumper had his back toward
them, and if he did not leap at once the
chances were in favor of striking them.
He wavered only an instant. It was
then exactly 6 o’clock. -
“Look outl”, he yelled, and then leaped
out into space. As he flow through the air
he assumed a perfectly straight position,
with the small balloons fluttering above
his shoulders. Then he seemed to lean
backward and struck the water on his
heels at an angle of about 30 degrees. The
concussion could be heard on either side
of the river.
Callahan looked as if he was being
rocked in a cradle of water for an instant
and then sank from sight. Finally one
balloon appeared, and-a moment later the
jumper’s head could be seen bobbing with
the waves as the boat made toward him.
He was partially paralyzed and did not
appear to be able to swim. When the boat
reached him and McGorry caught him by
the collar of his coat, Callahan lost con-
sciousness. It looked as if it was a dead
body that was being rescued. McGorry
poured some Whisky into the jumpcr’s
mouth and ordered the boatman to row to
the Dover street wharf. By the time the
boat reached there Callahan had recovered
and was able toclimb up to the Wharf unn
assisted.
The Bridge Jumper Arrested.
“I have a pain here,” he said, placing
his hand over his heart. “Great Scott,
but that was a jump!" Then he began
expectoratlng blood.
In the meantime the bridge policemen
Were running frantically about. They
yelled. to each other and pointed to the
Water below. ..~-.
Finally Officer Patrick' Dole telephoned
from the tower to Patrolman John T.
Farrell at the New York entrance, and he
made rapid strides down Frankfort street
and arrested Callahan and McGorry as
, they were about to enter a. cab. ,
They Were taken to the Oak Street po-
lice station, where Callahan was exam-
ined by Ambulance Surgeon Sanger of the
Hudson, Street hospital, who ordereddiis
removal‘to the hospital.
”No bones are broken,” the doctor said,
“but he may have received some internal
injuries, and I will keep him in the hos-
pital until tomorrow. ”
Callahan complained of severe pains in
the region of the heart and lungs, but oth-
erwise seemed to feel all right.
“I made the jump on a wager of $1,-
700, ” he said, “and have fairly won it. It
Was a funny feeling going down. Iliad
lost my breath by the time I struck the
Water and remember nothing after seeing
the boat coming toward me. ”
Callahan is a well built young fellow,
stands 5 feet 7 inches and weighs 165
pounds. He has black croppy hair and
dark gray eyes. The height he jumped
from is 125 feet.
There has always been doubt as to
Whether Steve Brodie eVer jumped or not.
“Toronto Red” droppedfrom the bridge
a few months ago. Callahan’s feat is the
first in'which any one has jumped in the
presence of Witnesses.
McGorry was arraigned in the Tombs
court on a. charge of violating a bridge
ordinance in aiding and abetting in the
bridge jumping. He was discharged.
Callahan is the nineteenth man who
has claimed to have made the great leap.
Of the 18 other men seven died from the
jump.

While on route to Norwalk and where
changes are being made in the tracks,
a car on the Street Railway jumped the
track last night. It occasioned only a
short delay. The car was not under
full motion at the time.
Several hoodlums created a dis-
turbance last night, near the tent where
Elder Parsons and others are holding
revival meetings in Broad River. Such
acts are reprehensible and the guilty
ones are deserving of arrest. '
When James Nugent of Stratford
was arrested for violating the liquor
law, it was developed that James
McElroy, who formerly owned the
saloon, had willed his wife to Nugent
when he (McElroy) was dying.
Burglars forced an entrance to the
Lakeville post office shortly after mid-
night yesterday and stole $5 in stamps.
They also entered Rev. Father Ban-
non’s house and escaped with $38.
There is no trace of the thieves.
The early closing movement went
into effect with the grocers and butch-
ers last evening, to the great satisfacv
tion of,the'grocérs, butchers and clerks,
but to the disappointment of several
customers who had neglected to make
note of the fact. -
Constable Hunt, yesterday, served
papers on the Norwalk Tramway com-
puny in the suit of Gilbert Horton to
recover $500". damages by reason of an
accident to his wife some months since
while' riding on one of the company’s
cars. Mr. Horton seeks to recover for
loss of service and nurse hire.
A “scoop” story in the News, yes-
terday, to the effect that a lad named
English was chased off from the bridge
and into the water by a locomotive,
near Mechanic street, is pronounced as
being a lie from start to finish. Gene
allowed himself to be ' “faked” by a
ten year old boy.
A lady boarded atramway car on.
Belden avenue this morning, and soon
after, found that she had lost her
pocketbook. The conductor kindly
had the car backed up to the point
where she thought she had lost the
pocketbook, and at the same time it
was given to her by John Ward, who
had picked it up on the street.
A row in .St. Matthew’s German
Lutheran church, Collinsville, was
stopped by a deputy sheriff Sunday. A
clique opposed to Pastor Ebert, whose
term expired Thursday, had brought
Rev. Mr. Jaeger of Hartford to Collins-
ville to conduct the services. TLe
clergyman, with their backers, met in
tumble fight was narrowly averted. J
