The Romantic Career of Two English Jacks--The Peculiar Fascination of Dizzy Heights. Philadelphis Press. T think 1 may justly claim to be the original ‘Steeple Jack,’ as far as this country is concerned, and there were not many before my time in England.” he speaker was James Trvine, who has been engaged for nearly twenty yoars in repairing steeples in this cily and through the State of Pennsyl vanin. He i8 a wiry, determined looking man, and_evidently take groat pride in his lofty profession. Gilasgorw, Scotland, was his natal place, but bo emigrated here in early man- hood, and until 1864 followed the sea. During the war he distinguished him- self more than once as a blockade run ners. “I would sooner work on a steeple t han on the ground. I cannot real- ize any danger in it. A peculiar sen- svtion creeps up your back when you are swinging to an fro 200 feet or more above the surface of the earth, which is_pleasurable to an extent I cannot describe. Of course the slightest defect in the rope or the pole to which the rope is fastened would launch moe into eternity, but I never think of that. I have neverfelt what fearis. I canlook up or look down at will, Itis absurd to say thata ‘Steeplo Jack' dares not look down. Heo could not do his work unless he did. A man who experiences any feelings of that sort should not at- tempt the business, for he is sure to fall some day. Now I will try to describe some of ‘'my work, First I will tell you how steeples are built. From the ground they all appear to be conical, but they are, with few exceptions, octagonal. They are built, as a gen- eral thing, of wood, the structure consisting of eight legs, tapering from the base until they join each other at the summit. The spaces between the joists are securely planked and the whole is carefully slated. Not the least dangerous portion of a Steeple Jack's work is the building of these te epler, Theyj are often eorected above a square tower seventy or eighty teet, and it is no joke standing in a gale of wind placing the first joist in its place. After the first throe are in position the rest is comparatively easy. So much for the building, now tor the repairing. REPAIRING STEEPLES, ‘In 1877 the cross on the apex of the steeple of the Catholic Church of the Annunciation at Tenth and Dick- inson streets, was injured by a strong wind, so that it was feared it would topple over into the street. I was in- structed to take down the old cross and put up another. The total height was 226 feet from the ground. I was able to climb inside the steeple as far as & window twenty-two feet below the base of the cross. Through that window I inserted a long pole, which reached sixteen feet above the cross. Theipole was only two or three inches in dismeter, and near the top was an eye 'bolt, to which was fastened a rope, and at* the end of the rope was & boatswain's chair—that is, a piece of inch plank two feet long and six inches wide--and I was seated on that. And there I swung, backward and forward, for,two hours on a freez- ing day in March. I was often car- ried as much as ten feei away from the pole, but I managed to lower the broken cross to the men® below, and after a while the new cross was hoisted up to me and I fixed it in the socket and no small job it was, I assure you, for it weighed many scores of pounds. On another occasion I stood upright on the top of thecross of St. Joachim's Catholic Church at Frankford, over 200 feat above the earth, for nearly two hours, while they took my photo- h. The snow was then lyin, eral inches thick on the ground, can imagine how cold it was. Ih support whatever, but the idea of falling never crossed my mind, The photo- grapher could not obtain a good im- pression until he had taken several negatives, and thatis what detained me solong. But my" biggest feat was when I climbed up one of the wire gxy- afixed to the obsorvatory at elmont. I had the job of taking down the tower and found that the car was out of order, and I had to get te the top somehow, 8o as to place my tackle in order. I thought over that job for for three days, and at last I|} determined to climb the wire guy; and up I went, hand over haud, for 300 foet, and I reached the top in twenty- five minutes, 1 was rather proud of that job, ¥.saw an account ’htuly of a Steeple Jack who talked about three days being occupied in climbing a steeple. 1 will mount any steeple in America in half an hour, NARROW ESCAPES, ““I have never met with any par- ticular accident, although on one occasion I had a narrow escape. In finishing a steeple it is necessary to remember that you have got to get down, I fixan eye-bolt in the ex- treme top of the steeple, and pass a rope with a bowline in it, and give word to my mate below and he lowers mo down. One day I let myself go, but my mate had not noticed the sig- nal, and I found myself coming down like a streak of lightning. I nevergo up without being prepared for an accident, 8o I did not lose my pros- ence of mind, but managed to catch on to the small window as I' passed, and there I hung until a pole was sent o my assistance. I employed sevoral men on the less dangerous porticns of my work. They are all men who have d some time at sea, and I watch each man's nerve very carefully before I trust him in certain ritiom. The ewages are $3 60 a day, Onlyone fatal accident has occurred since I have been in the businesd, and that was in German- town A slater fell soventy-five feet to the ground, and was smashed to atoms, I have heard of accidents to other Steeple Jacks. Oune man ped just as he was coming down dusk of the evening, and he hung by his logs in a noose of rope till day- break next morning. He was work- iug alone and his cries for help were heard after a while, but they could np’ manage to help him until daylight - | switches appeared, His hair turned white, but he did not lose consciousness for one moment. THE ENGLISH STEEPLE JACKS, “The earlieat Steeple Jacks in England were both ~killed under rather romantic circumstances. 1 will not vouch for the truth of the story: 1 will simply relate it as it was told to me. There were two broth ors, twins, Tom and Harry, who from early boyhood had been in the habit of climbing everything they came acroas, from the trees in their father’s orchard to the flagstafl on the village green. They were natives of a ham- let in the vicinity of Yorkshire, England, and their parents used to take the boys to all the fairs in the neighborhood, until at last they won sufficient articles in the way of shirts sum have from the poles to and handkerchiefs mits of groasy stocked a hosiery stc Both were sent to sea on reaching the fourteenth year in the same vossel. Howaever, the lads grew tired of the sea; the masts weren't high enough for them, perhaps, so at the end of their apprenticeship they decided to remain at home, and for awhile they diligently followed the plow on their father's farm, Their favorite recrea- tion was climbing up the water pipes alongside the house; in fact, that was their usual method in mounting to their bed-room in the attic, for they regarded stairs with contempt. About this time, and I am speaking of 40 yoars ago, the weather-cock on the top of a steeple of a certain church in New York City fell to the ground. The authorities began to con- sider how tho damage could be re- paired, for in those days Steeple Jacks were almost unknown, and steeples were built on the ground, and when fitted with weather vanes and other- wise completed were hoisted by means of pulleys to the square portion of the tower and there adjusted in position. Well, the town council were cogitating the expediency of taking down the steeple and repairing the weathercock when the brothers volunteered to climb the steeple and do the necessary patching. After some hesitation the offer was accepted, and, watched by thousands of the citizens, the twins climbed the steeple, using, no doubt, similar means to those I have describ- ed to you, It took them four days to complete their work, each ascending in turn, and a very handsome sum of money was the reward in addition to the local celebrity. - ‘““After this there were not many church wardens left in New York city who did not soon discover that the towers of their churches were out of order, so the brothers soon had ! prit on the seaflold, the red marks to testify the innocent blood of his vie- tim. They now form a part of the District Attornoy’s museum. From Ohio came a liggle wooden box, opened an one side. It contain- od u miniature scaffold, on which a paper image of a man was hanging, while ascoreof paper women were nauling on the rope, Theso were, according to the inscription on the box. “‘The women of Ohio,” Among other curiosities saved by the District Attorney is a miniature scaf- fold and coftin, neatly con structed, and a gallows tree, with an effigy six orseven inches long sus- pended upon it. There is also a little coftin, the open lid of which exposes a death’s head. The coffin is inscrib ed “Strangulatus pro diabolo, 1882," All sorts of pictures, cartoons and letters have been received and de stroyed. During the early part of the trial a great many gags of various patterns, the common form being a corncob with a string tied to each end, were received, with a request that they be appli:1 to the prisoner, Some of t' e ¢ have been preserved In th:same connection may be men- tioned various pots of glue and muci- lage, sent with the suggestion that the villian’s mouth be glued up. Many patent medicine firms, doubtless with an eye to an advertisement, sent the District Attorney samples of their wares, proposing that he dose him- self with the mixtures so that his health should not fail him until he had convicted the prisoner. The District Attorney has also re- ceived a large amount of Confederate money to be turned over to the pri- soner. One imposing testimonial letter signed *‘Citizen” contamned one copper penny to be given to Mr, Scoville to aid in the defense. A letter received from New Waterford, Conn., yesterday, from a rope maker, proposed to make for the assassin a red, white and blue rope out of silk, or any material the District Attorney might select. One of the most ghast- ly curiosities in the museum isa black cap sent by an unknown friend of jus- tice. A paper mted in Italian, re- ceived by the ftrict Attorney yes- terday, coumird a portrait of thav official, with a sketch of his career over the title, “Il Colonello Giorgio B. Corkhill.” '0-day another rope was received by the District Attorney. This was from Versailles, Ky. A letter that came to-day from Chicago suggested as a proper mode of execution that the assassin be fastened to a rope 300 feet long, the other end being attach- ed to a balloon, which would give him a veritable *‘flight to glory.” plenty of work on their hands. One day, it was the anniversary of their birth, the twins arranged with eacn other to climb the steeples of two churches half a mile apart, and when thero to exchange greetings by sig- nals. Tom, the elder, did not arrive as quickly as his brother, but to make up for his defeat he attempted to stand bolt upright on the weather- cock, and to the horror of his brother, who probably was prepared to do the same thing in imitation, he suddenly lost his balance and fell headlong to the earth. Harry descended as quick- ly as possible, and had the mourn- ful task of conveying the mangled remains home. The surviv- ing twin could never be induced to climb mithing again, and within a year of the fatal occurrence he became -;;Pelm lunatic, and the sight of a scaffolding pole or a steeple would fill him with such paroxysms of rage that he was oonflnecf most of his timo in a darkened room, or when taken out for an airing a bandage would be placed over his eyes. Ten years afterwards he appeared to grow better, and by degrees reason seemed to be return- ing. He begged to be shown the streets of the town once more, and spoke of the church steeples he had repaired, One day he disappeared from home, and a few hours afterward he was brought home dead on a shut- ter. He had wandered to a fair that was being held in the neighborhood where he waited his turn at the greasy pole. He climbed it with all his for- - | mer agility, and on reaching the top he balanced himself at his full height on .the summit, and then, with a wild shriek, threw himself headlong to the round. Such was the euding of the rat Steeple Jacks ever known in Eng- land. Neafly a Miracle. E. Asenith Hall, Binghampton, N, Y., writes: “T uffered for severa] months with a dull l’m(n through my left lung and shoulders. 1 lost my pirits, appetite and color, and could with difficulty keep up all day.

These ropes began to come by express and mail before the trial, and are still coming in. They haye been sent to the District Attorney, to Scoville, to the Warden of the jail, and to the assassin himself, A little room at the jail is strewn with ropes received from various parts of the country, Some of them are ropes such as are generally used in execu- tions, with the conventional hang- man’s noose skillfully made. Many other little remiuders of the fate that awaits him come in the mail of the as- sasin but the Warden as a rule keeps it from his eyes. _ Cheap comic valentines represent- ing the gallows with a dangling.vic- tim are also sent to the assassin, In overy nookin the District Attorney’s of - it fice can be found some testimonial of popular feeling respecting the assas- sin, Many of the things received have been” destroyed, In one corner of Mr. Corkhill's private office is a little heap of ropes.
