Frank Donohuo, who, tinder tba name " Prof.
Arlon," had given throughout tho West exhlbl
Uods of aerial bicycling on a btcycla Illuminated
by electrictty, (ell sovonly-ftvo fcot at Wlsscl's
Rldgenool Park, Queen' county, last evening,
lie died a short time after.
Donohue's act wn to ride a safety blrjclo on
a tight wlro charged with electricity, and
stretched on pole? high abovo tho ground. Tho
bicycle wheel had metal tires with grooves
that fitted the wire. The framo ami wheels
were decorated with Incandescent lamps of va
rious colors, which blared with light a hoped
alltdaiong the wire.
I He also carried lamps on his clothing which
were connected by wires to feeders on the bicycle,
and us he rode those were lighted or extinguished
by means of switches which ho controlled.
Donohuo was engaoed to giro exhibitions at
Wool's IUdgewood Park, a resort owned by
the Brooklyn City Ilailroad Company, which
employed him. He was to rldo about 800 yards
on a wire supported by two poles, each evnty
fire feet tall, and charged with electricity from
the trolley lines which ran past the Dark.
He gave the first show on Saturday night,
riding from one polo to the other several times
and furnishing amusement for a large crowd.
Be went through the performance safoly and
without incident other than those provided In
the regular programme.
Yesterday the Hessian Volkafest held an out
ing at the park. About 3,500 men and women
were there In the evening, all anxious to see
Donohuo ride. Ills performance was put down
to begin at 0 o'clock, and as that hour arrived
the people In the park crowded to tho spot where
the two poles supported the wire.
The poles were erected In an open place so
that there might be room for the sightseers,
and the people wero kept back a distance from
them, so that the circle of front row specta
tors might bo as largo as possible. Around
the poles the lights wer extinguished
In order to Increase the brilliancy of the specta
cle, and ail that could bo scon when the people
had taken their places to watch the show were
the two poles, dimly outlined, and a white line
surrounding them where the faces of the spec
tators stood out in the gloom. The crowd was
very quiet.
Donohue was ready at D o'clock. Ho dressed
for the part In a small honse on the grounds.
His bicycle had been hauled to a small platform
on one of the poles early in the evening, and
was In readiness for the performance. Donobue
after reaching tho foot of the pole put his foot
In a loop, and was drawn up to tho platform by
his assistants. When he reached the platform he
adjusted the bicycle to the wire, through which
a strong current of electricity was flowing, and
took his seat In the saddle. He balanoed him
self by mean of the nlatform, and when he had
got his feet on the pedals and the switch ad
Justed, ho started over the wire, making the
proper connection with the wire at the same
time.
As the front wheel of the bicycle ran off the
Insulated end of the wire and truek the metal
parttheeloctricity ran through tbe wire In tho
frame, lighting the lamps and illuminating the
machine and it rider. The bulbs on the wheels
fanned circles of flre as the wheels revolved,
and the colored lamps on the frame mode the
sight more picturesque.
Donohue's body was thrown Into strong relief
by the blaze from bis wheel and by the lamps he
carried, and as be glided oat on the wire. Itself
Invisible, ho seemed to float in the air. From
the crowd a murmur of applauso arose, and
Donohne bowed slightly in recognition of the
I salute.
As he pushed his wheel along the points of
contact between It and the wire were shown by
fisshes of blue flame, which leaped to the wheel
as Donohuo rode along. By the time he had
gone 100 feet the crowd cheered him. He did
not acknowledge the shouts, but pushed the
wheel along, blazing with light.
Donohuo bad gone about 250 feet when, with
out warning, be toppled to one side. and. cling
ing to the bicycle, fell. The lights went out sud
denly. Some of the crowd saw Donobue fall.
' Every one present beard the crash when be
struck the ground. The lights were started up
at once, and Donohue's assistants ran forward
to where ho lay.
He was still alive, but they could see that he
was severely hurt. The bicycle, which lay In
pieces around him, bad been smashed to bits.
One of the assistants called for a physician, and
the others carried Donohue to the small bouse In
which he had dressed for the exhibition. Dr. C. J.
Hettenhelmer was one of the spectators. He re
sponded to the request for a physician and went
into the house. He found Donohue unconscious.
While he was making an examination Donohue
died In bis arms.
When an ambulance arrived from St. Catha
rine's Hospital, the ambulance surgeon and Dr.
Hettenhelmer examined Donobue and foand
that three ribs on the right side and ths
right arm had been broken. There was
nothing about the body to indicate that
the man had received a shock and It
could not be determined, from the superficial ex
amination that was made, whether his body
accidentally came In contact with an uninsu
lated conductor, or whether he lost his balance.
A more complete examination will be made to
4sy. Donohne was about 28 years old. He lived In
Fort Wayne, Ind, and leave a widow and a
baby three months old. They or In Brooklyn,
but were not In the park at the time of the ac
cident. Donohne had been giving similar ex-
hlbitlons for several year. He is said to bare

II. P. Flower, Mayor of New Orleans, who ha
been to Paris to study tho Berttllon system for
tha Identification of criminal, returned yeter
day on the steamship La Champagne. He said
that, through the kindness of M. Bertlllon, he
had had an opportunity to master the system,
which villi be adopted by the Police Department
of Now Orleans. Tho Mayor will teach the
system to the polico Captains.
Former United States Senator John H. Mitch
ell, who has boon In France with his Invalid
wife, wss also a passenger on La Champagne.
Other passengers were Secretary Sylvatn of tho
Haytlan Legation at Paris and Juan Rlcon
Navaretto, champion Spanish basketball player,
who Is going to Mexico to engago In contests
with the talent there Thero wero several mis
understandings between the custom Inspectors
and the foreign passengers on La Chnmpagne.
M. Charles Tardaln and his wife had a big
trunk filled with curios, bric-a-brac, and trink
ets. As the appraiser told off the duty on each
set of articles, jumping from $50 to (00, to
$117, to $210. to $350. the eyes of the Tardalns
opened wider and wider and Mr. Tardaln ex
claimed In consternation, " I cannot pay that."
Incidentally, he remarked that he was bound
for the City of Mexico.
" Why didn't you nay that at first I" asked the
Inspector. "Goods In transit do not pay duty."
Mr, Tardaln gave a bond and was allowed
to go.
A young Frenchwoman was seen passing a
package to a man. She was asked what It was,
and she said It was her grandfather's watch. It
looked like It. This suspicious act prompted
two of the women Inspectors to tackle mademoi
selle. She blusblngly confessed that sbo had
something else that she feared was dutiable.
Sbo fumbled under her skirl and brought out
several packages of cigarette tobacco, worth
about SO cents. She acknowledged that It was
for her own use. Sho had brought It over be
causo she feared that she could not grt here tho
kind of tobacco that she bad been accustomed
to use. The Inspectors decided that the watch
and the tobacco need not pay duty.
Henri Creango had several sample flsnnel
Tests which he said he paid $7 for on the other
side. He paid $0.50 duty. Most of the passen
gers were French travellers and not subject to
the law, so the amount of all the duties collected
did not exceed $700.

It Only to tie Captured.
Jor-i.iv, Mo., Aug. 1. While resisting an at
tempt to rob htm at midnight Ebon M. Brewer,
a Main street grocer, was shot and probably
Injured mortally by James McAfee.
The miners are paid off on Saturday evening,
and most of the stores are usually kept open
late to do a big business. McAfee proposed to a
companion, Sam Shoemaker, to hold up Brewer
when he closed his store. Shoemaker agreed to
assist in the roDbery. but reported tho matter to
tho polico, who notified Brewer.
Upon closing his store Brower. accompanied
by bis father-in-law. Joe Shelver, started to the
sceno of the proposed hold-up. Brewer had a
pistol and Shelver a handful of pepper to
throw Into the robber's eyes. Ignorant
of the fact that he had been betrayed,
McAfee ordered Brewer and Shelver to
throw up their hands. Shelver threw the
pepper at him, but a gust of wind blew It Into
bis own eyes and he ran. McAfee fired at him,
sending a bullet through his bat. llrewsr then
tired at McAfee, whereupon the latter returned
the flre, shooting Brewer In tho left side.
Shoemaker and two policemen, who were
lying In wait to capture McAfee, opened flre
upon him as he ran. but he escaped and was
supposed to be unhurt. He was subsequently
captured coming out of a saloon, and denied
snooting Brewer.
He said he hod been asleep and was awakened
by the shooting, and unconcernedly asked the
officer what the shooting wa about. McAfee
was taken to Carthago to-day and put In jail.
While on the way City Marshal Morgan
noticed a bole In hi coat and asked
McAfee If he wa shot. The answer was that the
hole was caused by a crowbar falling and strik
ing hlra while In the mines. Morgan hand
cuffed his prisoner and examined him, and a
bullet wound was found In his shoulder.
Further examination showed another wound
In the thigh, the bullet haIng passed through
the flesh and muscle but missed the bone. For
nearly twelve hours McAfee had suffered from
his wounds In a hot Jail without a murmur.

who reside In this village. Coroner Peterson of
Waterloo was notified, and he came and vlewod
the remains. Trowbridge's noe was broken
down, and the left eye was badly contused and
swollen. Tho nature of the wound was such
a to show conclusively that the man bad
been, murdered and thrown Into the water.
The remains were later vlownd by several phy
sicians, who expressed the opinion that the
blow in the face was sufficient to cause death,
even If made Just before or just after tho body
got Into the water,
Edward Trowbridge, the murdered young
man, was sober and industrious. He was last
soon at about 5 o'clock on Thursday lot by his
parents. He hud not been driukiug. The
young man's father says that the boy could

believe that be was murdered.
The case is being investigated by o Ulcers and
detectives, and developments aro expected. It
is rumored that a man wbo Is uicted ba
left town, but the officer refuse to state what
clue they have obtained.
Young Trowbridge had been working all
summer on a canal boat, anil when last seen
said that the Captain of the boat was going to
Geneva with a cargo. Ho also made some mys
terious remarks about aumr trouble with a
man who insisted that he, Trowbridge, owed
him some money. Ills father, to whom the
words were addressed, did not think much of
them at the time, but the whole thing now

ceived by tho Chlneso Society of English Edu
cation that unless Its efforts to prevent the Im
portation of Mongolian girls for Immoral pur
Doses shall cease, six of its prominent members
will not lire beyond thl month. Tho notice
says:
"Lately we have learned that tho Chinese So
ciety of English Education ha retained an
attorney to prevent girl Imported for Immoral
purpose from landing, and has made efforts
to deport them to China In consequenco of
which there Is great loss of our blood money.
"As you aro all Christianized pcoplo you
should do good deeds, but It you keep on going
to the Custom House trying to doport girl and
prevent them from landing, six of you will
not live longer than thl month. Your dying
day Is surely st band."
Thl threat was caused by tho recent action
of the society In rescuing a girl who was
brought over In the lut China steamer. This
girl Is claimed by a man and woman In China
town as their daughter, but tbe customs of
ficers have proof that she wo bought in China
and that the couple wbo swear they are her
parents are not her relatives. The police will

Captain when asked to explain this, replied:
" All these food supplies are from Spain, the
rice from Valencia, sausages from Arragon, and
beans from Castillo. Wo don't want anything
Spanish, even In our food."
The four large grocery store in the suburb were
