SWBLIING THE NAVY.
Uncle Sam Losing No Time In the Matter
of the New ‘Varshlps..
WASHINGTON, June 15.—Within ten days
the navy department will put out adver-
tisements calling for proposals for build-
ing the three great battleships, three tor-
pedo boat destroyers and ten torpedo
boats, for which congress has provided in
the naval appropriation bill.
This is an unexampled record of fore-
handedness in the preparations of designs
and the fixing of the features of the craft
to be built. In their main features the
battleships will be madefiup of a combina<
tion of the plans of the Massachusetts and
the Kearsarge, but many important
changes have been made in the details
. and especially in the batteries. The great-
est novelties will be the three 30 knot tor-
pedo boat destroyers, which will inaugu-
rate a new class in the United States
navy.
The tonnage will be fixed closely in the
neighborhood of 300. This, it is expected.
will lead to the submission of plans
closely resembling those of the famous
Russian torpedo destroyer Sokul. which
easily ran over 30 knots on trial. This
means that the boats will be about 250
feet long by 20 feet 9 inches in breadth,
T0 at-
tain the great speed required it is esti-
mated will oali for the supply of ma-
chinery equal to the development of near-
ly 5,000 horsepower.
The ten smaller boats will not tax the
constructors so greatly because the speed
requirement is more reasonable. being
fixed at 20 knots.

ly agreed upon.

HEB. RELATIVE ON THE JURY.
A Discovery That May Cause a Retrial
In the Fleming Case.
NEW YORK, June 15. —Discovcrics have .
been made known to Recorder Gofi‘, As-
sistant District Attorney McIntyre and
Charles W. Brooke, counsel for Mary Al-
ice Almont Livingston, better known as
Mrs. Fleming, which may result in the
ending of the present trial and of the
.’ starting of the case afresh.
According to the evidence which has
been placed before these gentlemen, juror
No. 6, Richard M. Montgomery, is related
to Mrs. Fleming. The relationship is re-
mote, but is said to be distinct, existing
through marriage ties.
Both the assistant district attorney and
Lawyer Brooke express themselves as be-
lieving the connection too remote to count
for much, but the matter has been left in
the hands of the recorder, who will decide
what action he will take.
Not Guilty of Heresy.
MCPHERSON, Kan. , J une 15.’-—-The Dunk-

their assertion of the church doctrine in
public discussions and compelled each to
put himself on record before the court
concerning the tenets of the church which
it was charged they had repudiated.

luuruu lulu HIS ulu
An Intoxicated Man'Tumbled Himself
Oil‘- Brooklyn Bridge.
HE ESCAPED WITH A SPRAIN
His Hip Was Slightly Injured In the
Terrible Fall, During Which He
Turned Several Somersaults.
A Rival to Brodie.
NEW YORK. June 15. —Patrlck Sulli-
van, 27 years old, a printer of 172 Wil-
lbughby street, Brooklyn, took his degree
as bridge jumper yesterday. When this
was suggested to him as he lay on a cot
in the prison ward of Bellevue hospital
last evening. he said:
“Yes, an b’ 366 I’m more entitled to it
than Brodie, who only dropped from the
bridge, if he ever went off at all. ”
Sullivan is a slender young man with a
face warranted not to break. According
to his own story he had been on a two
Weeks’ spree when he decided to jump
from the Brooklyn bridge last evening.
He spent yesterday wandering around the
saloons in the Bowery, picking up a drink
wherever he could get it, and a little be-
fore 6 o’clock he started for his home in
Brooklyn. Being “broke,” he had to
walk across th‘bridgc. When he reached
a point about 200 feet beyond the New
York tower—
“I tort I’d jump,” he says. “Do water
looked nice an cool, an I was hot in me
head. an quicker’n a wink I tort I’d do
it.”
Nobody took any notice of him as he
climbed up on the girders over the north
car track. He looked enough like a bridge
Workman to pass unsuspected. He climb-
ed down to the roadway and was climb-
ing up again on the parapet when Bridge
Policeman Thomas Brady caught sight of
him.
James Marshall, one of the guards on a
train that happened along at this moment,
spied him also. Both guard and police-
man yelled at the tap of their lungs, and
the policeman came running up. Sulli-
van scrambled on to the parapet. wavered
for a moment and then toppled off, tum-
bling over and over in his descent.
Pulled Out Uninjured.
The policeman got there and looked
over just as Sullivan’s body struck the
water, sending spray 30 feet into the air.
Dr. Edwin Palmer of 1342 Lexington
avenue happened to be passing under the
bridge in his steam yacht as Sullivan
jumped, and he ordered the captain to
make for him as he came up.
A life line was thrown to Sullivan, but
he was apparently unable to grasp it, and
he struggled in the water until one of the
crew of the yacht managed to get hold of
his coat with a boathook. He was held
up against the side of the yacht in this
fashion while a ladder was run down,
and then he was carried aboard. The
yacht put him on the tug the state of New
York. The tug was bound for the foot of
Jay street, Brooklyn, and the captain in-
tended to land his charge there. But Sul-
livan. who was half conscious, seemed to
be suffering. and the tug captain thought
the best thing to do was to take him to
Bellevue hospital. So, after touching at
Jay street, the tug set out with all speed
and within 20 minutes was at the foot of
East Twenty-sixth street.
The crew of the tug had been pouring
more whiskey into Sullivan. and when he
was carried into the hospital he was feel-
ing ‘Wcll enough to be able to tell who he
was and why he had jumped from the
bridge. Maybe he didn’t express himself
very clearly, for Ambulance Surgeon Mil-
ler put his age down as 27 years and also
recorded him as “28 years in the country.”
Sullivan was examined, and it was dis-
covered that his hip had been wrenched a
bit, but otherwise he was all right. He
said to a reporter:
How He Felt.
“How did I feel when Iwas goin down?
Why, have y’ ever felt as if yer got struck
wid a thousand of brick or a sandbag?
Well, it was like that. The whole eart'
seemed tor drop just away from me. I
turned seven summersets—that is, I turn-
ed seven that I know of—but, hully gee,
it seemed as long as a sixer on th’ island
before-I struck the water! I didn’t know
nnthin when I struck, an I tort me lamp
had gone out for good when I remembered
I couldn’t swim. Say, I orter know how
tor swim, but I never learnt. I wuz par-
alyzed full when I went over and was dat
weak dot when dey trun de rope from dc
boat I couldn’t grab it.” '
Then he philosophized with drunken
gravity, “Dat shows how near a feller
may be tor death an ter life at th’ same
time. '
“But say,” and here a smile brightened
Sullivan’s face. “don’toher t’lnk I’m a
better man dan Brodie, on th’ level? My
jump was dead on th’ square. wasn’t it?
Say. I never knew it was so easy ter chuck
summerscts before, an if I get out 0’ this
all right I’m goin into th’ circus busi-
ness. Don’tcher think I’ll do? But say,
young feller. I’ll tell yer one thing, on th’
dead, an that is that Pat Sullivan jumps
no more bridges if he ever gits out 0’ this. ’ ’
Sullivan was rather weak. and the doc
tor told him to try and go to sleep. He
tried, and in a few moments was fast
asleep, and he was slumbering peacefully
when the reporter came away.
He is a single man and had evidently
been discussing bridge jumping under
the mellow influence of Brodie’s mixed
ale, as a business card of that enterpris-
lng person was found in his pocket. He
is the first bridge jumper of the season
and is No. 20 on the list of bridge jump-
ers. The last man who jumped the bridge
was drunk, too, and he also escaped un-
injured.
