Four Minutes, Eleven and & Half Seconds Under Water Blatt, the Man- Fisb, Beats the Record, But Oomes Out of the Ordeal Apparently Lifeless. 8t. Louts Glob s Dsmocrat. cene at tho dime wu- seum yestorday afternoon which made the blood run cold, and for & few mc- ments filled the spec! rs with em) tlons of agony. For a brlef timeit was feared that Prof, Blatt, the ‘'fish man,” who had essayed the hazardous feat of staying under water 4 minutes, had taxed his powers of endurance too far, and bad probably pad the forfeit with his life. As previously an- nounced, he was t me the task under the condltions of a wager be- tween Mcssrs, J. A. 8t. John and Frank Gregory, the stakes belng $250 & slde, Mr, St Jobhn betting that Blatt could not remain under as long as 4 minotes, Tae trial was to otween 3 and 4 at 3 au eager orowd was on hand to get & glimpse of Blatt and witness the exhi- bitlon, The water was found to be quite cold, and & half an hour was spent in warming 1t At 3:30 all was in readiness, Gregory and 8t. John belng present with thelr tlmakug;n, oto. The judges were: Mr. Wm. Steigers for Mr. Gregory, and Mr. Eugene Werthelmer tor Mr, 8t. John; Wm, Chrlsty, time ocaller; John W. Parle, referee. Darlng the proceed- ings, however, things got a little mixed, and Mr, Stelgers did the time calling. Referee Parle examined the tavk and pronounced the water all rlght and the arrangements proper. Mr. Stewart, the museum orator, ex- plained to the audlence all about the feat which was to be attempted, At 3:40 o'clock Prof. Blatt made his appearance in & handsome scale sult, and after belng applauded, sald he would do his beat to win the money for Mr, Gregory. He would first make & preliminary trial to got himself in readiness for the great struggle. He would ask that when he went under water time be called at the end ot the first minute, and then at the end of each hulf minute thereafter, THE TANK in which the trial was to take place is aglass compartment ab ut six feet in length and five faet deep, contalning three feet of clear, transpareat water, affording a good view of the exhibitor and all his movements, On the preliminary trial he remaic— ed under one minate and fifty-nine seconds, and when he came up he looked 50 ved in the face, and his eyes were 80 bicedahot that many saidthey did not bhelieve he oould stay under threo minutes, When the moment arrived for Biatt to go under for his four minute irial he moved gracefully to the left, falling vpon his right knee, his lef: log beirg extended down the tank and his chin just touching the water, Then be rawsed his chin a fow fncliee, opencd his wmouth wide, drew a long, big bresth to fiflate his langs with us much air as poesible, and sank into oue corner, fuctig the andience, with hi« head resting in the angle of tho plase caso. His oyes wore olcsed, and ed like one asleep, For a wminute & inot move a mauscle, there not butag o perceptible move- ment of the body. When Mr, Stelgers called ‘‘one minute,” there was & movemeut of the right hend, and then of the body, aad shortly afterwards the chest began to rise aud fall, At two minutes it was apperent that the man fish had begun to suffer. One foot was first drawn up, and his right hand clatched the water convulsively. At three minutes the spectacle became one of extreme agony to most of the lookers-on. The man’s lungs were fighting for oxygen. His broad chest rose and fell like those of a person making a last grand strog- gle for one more breath of alr, Bub- bles were coming thick and fast from his nose to the surface of the water, denoting the eecape of the last of the life glving remnant from his body. His form writhed and his legs trembled like those of a victim on the gallows. As the seconds piled up THE HORROR OF DEATH from asybyxia gathered on his face, his mouth opened and shut qulckly, snd two white eyeballs glared from the water. On thelr faces were reflocted the agony of the man in the tank, An artist who had hold of the reporter's srm olinched it as if he would tear the flesh off, and sald: ‘‘Good God! why don't they take the man out.,” The faces of the time-keepers and judges were livid with horrible exoltement, and when Mr. Steigers called out wildly, “‘Three minutes and a half!” Beveral exclalmed, ‘‘That’s eneugh!” and Manager Gregory crled, ‘‘Take the man out; I'll give the money up!” But the man stald, plling one second on another In his terrible feat. The whole museum was in a stite >f unut- terable suspense. The Madagascar woman and the Alblno man, the spotted boy, the armless and leg- less man, the lady vocalists and the male gymnasts were walting in breath- less horror, the ladles saying, ‘‘Oh, why don't they take him out?’ At three and three-quarter minutes there were significant indlcatlons that na- tare had surrendered. The body ceased to move, there were no more contortlons, the head was limp upon the breast. For the past minute the spectators had been sustained by the hope that the dlstortions were the slmple Incidents of prolonged holding of the breath, but new they were cer- tain that the man had given up the ghost, “Take him out!” ““Take him out!” was the generalcry. Bat noone moved, ‘‘Five seconds more, if he can live throngh {t!" called out Time- keeper Stefgers, his eyes flashing with mingled excitement and terror. How those five seconds dragged! ‘'FOUR MINUTES!" called Stolgers, but the man In the glass case did not move. Ha laid like one asleep In death, Then there was fearful orfes of ‘‘Iake him out!” and sitendanis rushed to the tank, His cost of mail weighs over twenty hmudg and one man conldnet handie im, and when the asslssant got over the tank and Blatt was drawn ap four minutes eleven and a half seconds had explred, He was as limp as a rag. His body and limbs fell around like a man just dead. Orles of “Take him to the platform!” “Roll him on the floor!” were heard on all sldes. For a mo- ment they reeted the body onthe frame of the tank, lth.n :,l '"u dragged down, hittln, oavily Im!l! the ralling e of the stalrway leadlng to the latform, Many people rushed out as rl thoy wanted to escape the last act of atragedy. BatIn the midst of a wild uproar and excitement, when every one was filled with a horror that s life had been wantonly sacrifized, Blatt began to show signs of vitality, and all at once he struggled to his eat, rubbed his eyes and head vigor ously, looked wildly about him, sud sald, “‘Ladles and gentlemen, 1 ocan beat that time.” Then everybody was happy. People went up to him and shooks hands, a little mles who slogs at the museum patted him on the shoulders and crled, and Referee Parle declared that Mr. Gregory had won the bet. Prize Fightiog in Obicago. Chicsgo Herald, A desperate priza fight took place at the stock yards vesterday, the prin- cipals being two local bri rs named vohn Kelly and James, allas Yauk, Conningham, The mill was for & purse of $60, made up by sports of the viclnity, and ,came cff without the knowledge of the police. Both men were about evenly matched, but the betting was in favor of Kelly. S>me dsys ago they fell out over a dlspute and sgreed to settle thelr differences according to the oanons laid down by the Marquls of Quaeensbury. The affair was to have taken plsce Morday but the police got wind of it and surprlsed the party at the corner of Wood and Forty-fourth stroots as they were engaged In put- ting up the ring. No arrerts were made, and the seconds and prinolpals agreed to have the matter out yester: day. Late in the afternoon they met south of the packing house distriot, near Ashlanc avenue. The event was » mere slugging affair, neither party showlng any sclenca: Kelly won first blood, and had the best of the fighting all the way through. In the third round Canningham was knocked clean off his feet by a power- tul right-hander in the jaw, and inthe next two rounds he was so badly pun- ished that his friends tried to dlssuade him from continuing the fight, He perslsted, however, and was badly punished. In the seventh round Can- ningham fsiled to come to time and Kelly was declared the victor, The vanquished man was so badly used up that, for a while, it was fear- ed he would dle. He was conveyed home by frlends, while Kelly at once disappeared, Those who witnessed the affair, sald nothing of it, for prudential reasons, and it was not un- til late hour last evening when the police got hold of the facts, A phyal- cian stated Cuaningham’s life was out of danger, and a frultless search waa made for his antagonist, Up to 2 o'clock this morning Kelly was stiilat large. He is known to the police as a tough Bhoodium, an oocasional em- ploye about the packing hovses. Cun. pingham le a brother of ‘'Spot” Cun- ningham, the politician, and also bears & hard name. HOURKIBLE CRIMES. The Police of Hoston Startled by the Revelations of a Police Court. Foston, Maes, Aprll 30.——A woman named Mary Walcott, but styling her- self Mme. Walcott, a medlum and clalrvoyant, 45 years of age, has kept a house of 1il repute at No, 133 Pleas- ant street for some Lisme past, previous to which ehe was locaicd at No, 27 Carver street, and has been in the habit of entleing young girle whose ages aro between 14 and 16 into ne- farious business, The police have on several occaslons attempted to break up this den, but upon securlng war- rants could not use them, owing to inability to secure witnesses to testify. Last Saturdsy one of the girls was srrested, and upon Information re- ocelved from her sufficlent to conviet Mrs. Walcott a warrant was procured, but she was foundto have deeerted her quarters at No, 133 Pleasant street. After watching the house nearly all Saturdsy night, a little girl who had been seen to enter the house twice during the night was arrested, and divulged the woman's quarters to be at No. 19 Oxford street, whither the officers repalred, and with the assist- ance of Officers Connors and Hudson arrested Mrs, Walcott and the remain. ing six girls in her employ, whose ages vary from 14 to 16 years, To-day the case of Mme, Waloott came up o the police court, and she was held In the sum of 4,600 on six charges of abduction and of keeping a house of lll fame, The testimony at this woman's hearing was that of six school girle, ranging from fourteen to sixteen years of age, whom she had entloed from good homes. The testl- mony was siokening in the extreme. The girls had been In the woman’s power since September last. Some of the girls attend school dally, golng to the house after echool hours and about 9 o'clock In the evenlng returning to thelr homes. They are kept In school for the pur- pose of provuring other school-girls for llke purposes. An employe of one of the northern rallroads, who was called away from home recently, leav- ing his slck wife in charge of his little glrl, returned the other day to iind his wife dead and his girl an Inmate of Mme. Walcott's den. The developments I the caso to-day nave served to create great excltement throughout the city. With poasibly three or four exceptions the young kirls are members ot respectable fami lies, aud some of the families are held in high esteem. Much indignation prevails, and threats to burn the house of Mme. Walcott are freely ut- tered. Detectlves have been evgaged by the families of the school girls, and thelr despollers will be hunted down. Then a serlos of sults for sedaction will be begun, It is stated that many schools of the city have been cor- rupted in & like manuer during the last year, How Chligren Had * Fun,’ On & summer day they went to play, Dawa the road 10 Deacon J asture; Dick climbed the tree, Vie The hours were speat in That night, those youngsters yelled Yes, the funny D'ckesnd Vietori The gripes were of the green apple, Butquickly oured by Castoria, I'HE DAILY BEE-MONDAY MAY 7 TRAGEDY IN A STATEROOM.
