Sutlirau'* Flyiny Trip to the Top of the Electric Tower on Bridge Square—He on On En-: of a Rope and 000 Pounds on the Oth'r—Tlte Fastest Time oh Record — Is Xot Injured. Con. Sullivan is the hero of one of the most novel and thrilling adventures which ever occurred in this city, in which he dew threw space to the very top of the electric light mast on Bridge square, 257 feet above terra firms. A small crowd of men were engaged in making certain alterations in the mast. While this w.-is being done Con. Sullivan and James Campbell were given a rope to hold. The rope was attached to the 600 poun.l weight inside the tower, which is used as a balance for tho car in running up and down the outside the mast. The weight to perform the necessary work had been detached from this car and was being held in place at the very top of the mast by means of the rope, which was held by Sullivan and Campbell, running over a pulley or wheel above the weight. Some movement of the men set the weight in motion and it slowly raised the two men from the ground. Sullivan had the rope wound around his right hand and wrist, while Campbell grasped it a little higher up. As soon as the men were free from the ground, Campbell not relishing the idea of a trip up the mast in that style suddenly released his grasp, and Sullivan, who was ■ unfortunately made fast to the rope, went up. The coil on the ground entangled Campbell's legs and carried him feet foremost about twelve or fifteen feet, when the rope slipped and he came down headlong, while Sullivan shot up as though from the mouth of a 'cannon, as tho 60J-pound weight on the inside of the tower came crashing down. When the weight struck the ground there were, fortunately for Sullivan, still a num ber of feet of rope between his hand and the pulley, a'.ul he snot up past the pulley out into the air. but fell again across one of the stays or gny ropes. Clutching this he on, with remarkable coolness and presence of mind, unwound the tape from his wrist and came down the ladder upon the :le of the mast to the groan,'!. nearly freezing his hands in the descent. Sullivan escaped injury further than a painful wrenching of his arm, which was soon somewhat swollen, while Campbell in bis fall of twelve feet was pretty badly bruised.

KEENE IN TROUBLE. Rumors of the Financial Kinbarrassni'nt •f the Great Financier—His Newport House Mortgaged. [Special Telegram to the Globe 1 New Yoek, Jan. 21. — special dispatch from Newport, R. 1., said James R. Keene had mortgaged his entire property there for $75,000, the mortgage to run two years. The significance of the dispatch was not understood, and gave rise to rumors in many places that the great Wall street op erator was financially embarrassed. No lit tle excitement was created in distant cities, and many inquires were made con cerning the matter. It was rumored here that Keene had been very bearish on the stock market, had lost heavily in his spec ulations, was unable to meet his liabilities, and had sailed \ for Europe, leaving his brokers and creditors in a disastrous con dition. There was no foundation, how ever, for the disquieting rumors. Mr. Keene and his brokers were at their offices yesterday, and trans acted business as usual. Rumors that they were in trouble were ridiculed on Wall street. Well informed parties say that Keene was never stronger than he is at present, but no definite explanation of the Newport mortgage was made. It is thought though, that Keene may be in a position to use cheap money to advantage and was taking the opportunity of doing so. It will be remembered that Vanderbilt some time ago borrowed millions on gov ernment securities, not. . because he was embarrassed, but because he could use the money to advance in stock operations, but Vanderbilt wanted money to make purchases while Keeno may want funds to make sales. It is claimed that Keene's failure might be a good thing for a bull stock market, as his bearish influence is the only . considerable obstacle to a boom. Keene denies that he is long of a single share of stock.hut says he is now short of between 200,000 and 300,000 shares of various securities. .V^'.mjh Fifth Story. The Bvdie (Cal.)

While out fishing in the lake one of the ladies dropyed a small ear-ring overboard, and it immediately disappeared. She mourned her loss, of course, and never .expected to see the piece of jewelry again. On Mon day last John Murphy, a Mill Creek minor, caught a three-pound trout in Lake Lundy while, fishing through a hole in the ice. When the fish was opened the lost oar-ring was found imbedded in one of its giils. When the ear-ring sunk in the water the trout evidently grabbed it, and in trying to swallow it the piu pierced the gill. A. Wesson to Kleptomaniacs. About Christmas time a Toronto lady was seen to steal a reticule from a store where she had been in the habit of trading. On Christmas day the daughter of the owner of the same store received as a Christmas present from the lady thief the identical reticule that had been stolen. The gift was accompanied by a note say ing that the article had been purchased in England daring a recent visit there. The merchant, having observed the theft, had taken the liberty of charging tho reticule to the generous lady's account. When the bill was presented, which was after the be stowing of the Christmas gift, the lady saw that she wa-» exposed and was so mor tified that she left the city tor all time. Suit tor Damages.

COST OF MR. CHANDLER'S NAVY. The Scheme That is to Give Him Cruisers and Pay Jtobeson's Old Debts. [Washington Special (Jan. 16) to N. V, Sun.] Secor Robeson's naval bill was reported to-day. It is the handiwork of Robeson, with some unpalatable amendments by the committee. It also bears some of W. E. Chandler's finger marks. The bill ap propriates $378,023 more than the bill last year did, but this comparatively slight increase was reached by tinkering with the appropriation for the monitors and steel cruisers. Tbe appropriation of last year fc£ the construction of the monitors and the engines for them was cut down §1,350,000, while the appropriation for the steel-cruis ers was increased $250,000. This looks as thougti Robeson had given up his monitor jobs. But it is all a blind. The estimates for these monitors, for repairs and the en gines, for this year were .52,950.000. The appropriation for the same purpose last year was $3,370,000, while the bill this year calls for only $2,000,000. But the bill also provides that the secre tary of the navy may take possession of these monitors, and remove them to the navy, yards, and shall determine the amout which ought to be paid tho old coir tractors for the use and occupation of their yards by the monitors, and for the care of them, and report the same to congress. If this clause, which is the milk in the cocoanut, passes, then congress will endorse the supremest piece of assumption that has been forced upon it for many a day. The clause authorizes Chandler prac tically to validate the illegal contracts that Secor Robeson made on the last day of his service as secretary of the navy, contracts which Secretary Thompson repudiated, and for which congress refused for four years to appropriate a penny. If this clause is in this bill when it passes, Robeson will have accomplished all that he came to congress for. Besides, Chandler was the chief of John Roach's lobby when these il legal contracts were made. This clause plays well into the hands of the contrac tors, Wm. E. Chandler and Secor Robeson; The bill appropriating §1.300,000 for the construction of the steel cruiser now authorized, two cruisers of not more thin 3,000 tons, and one despatch boat. It al-o authorizes the secretary to contract for tlie construction of all these at a total cost of not more than that estimated by the naval advisory board and he may apply to the construction and finishing of that cruiser any balance of the appropriation made to the bureau of construction and repair, that is, having got authority to pay for the use of the shipyards of contractors for the monitors, he can use just so much of the appropriation of $2,000,000 for these two bureaus as possible for the com pletion of the steel cruisers, and if William E. Chandler doesn't save a very handsome part of the sum and pat it into the cruis ers, he is less prudent than he is given credit for being. ~Fj'£.;-~. The bill is worthy of the cunning of Robeson and Chandler. It appears to give up the fight for big appropriations for the monitors, but if the contractors do not get a very handsome profit for the work on them thus far, it will be because Chandler does not know how to figure. Meanwhile, by indirection, he will get a considerable part of the sum estimated as b^ing-neces sary to build the cruisers by taking a hand some balance from the sum appropriated for the repairs and engines of the moni tors. He will then have the monitors in the navy yards, and the old contractors handsomely paid for their illegal work on them. Then when the cruisers are well ad vanced toward completion, he can next year say to congress that he has the moni tors in his hands in the navy yards; that a good deal of money has been spent on them; that they are no longer in the hands of contractors; and that congress might as well vote the money to complete them. That is Secor Robeson'd and Win. E. Chan- j dler's scheme. . : He Cornea from iFa&htntfton .*•> >«:• the "Feeble Minded."
