Filled List WAS PICKED UP UNCONSCIOUS ‘Soon Recovered, but Was Taken to the Hospital Perhaps In- ternally Injured, SAYS IT WAS FOR A $1,700 WAGER Struck the Water Feet First at an Angle and Rescued by Men In a Boat. ‘There is & revival in the bridge-jump- ing industry. Yesterday three men called at “The Evening Worl® office and volunteered to leap from the big span for fame or money. They got lit- | tle satiefaction. The city is full of men who have either leaped or who claim to ‘have done so, but new aspirants for the , 4oubtful honors crop up daily. The latest addition to the ranks of ;Jumpers ts Patrick Callahan, twenty: \#even years old, of 454 Third avenue. !He jumped from the structure early this morning, and ‘s now in the Hudson street Hospital, where physicians are | @ndeavoring to ascertain whether he re- | cetved any internal injuries, Callahan is a bartender in McGorry's ; saloon, Spring street and West Broad- jway. He isa single man and has some jlocal reputation as a swimmer and diver, and has frequently stated that he could successfully jump from the bridge | to the water below. At 6 o'clock this morning Callahan and Edward McGorry, brother of the saloon | Man, stood beside a cab at the corner of Broadway and Chambers street. Cal- Jahan said he would make the jump as Soon as the witnesses were in position to see that the feat was successfully and fairly accomplished. The witnesses chosen were Messrs. Fred A. Wilson and Samuel Austin, Callahan appeared to be in good spirits and said there was no doubt about the success of his attempt. He had ar- ranged two full-sized bull bladders, thor- oughly inflated, to his shoulders and id he would jump without weights. "ll make the jump before 6 o'clock,” he said, as he stepped into the cab. had heen notified that the jump would be made, got into 4 boat and selected 4 position from which a good view could be obtained, About 5.55 the cab containing Callahan passed the New York tower, and a few minutes later drew up for an instant at a point about twenty feet from the cradie in the centre of the structure. Callahan climbed to the top of the railing. He looked down an instant and w the two boats below.

The bridge jumper had his back towards them and if he did not leap striking them. He wavered only an instant. It was then exactly 6 o'clock, “Look out!” he yelled, and then leaped out into space. As ho flew through the air he assumed a perfectly straight po- sition, with the small balloons fluttering above his shoulders, Then he seemed to lean backward and struck the water on his heels at an angle of about 20 degrees. The concussion could be heard on either side of the river. Callahan looked as if he was being rocked in @ cradle of water for an in- stant and then sank from sight. Finally one balloon appeared and a moment later the jumper’s head could be seen bobbing with the waves as the boat made towards him. He was partially paralysed and did not appear to be able 0 swim. When the boat reached him and McGorr; caught him by the collar of nis coat ‘allahan lost consciousness, was being rescued, some wh! hey, into the jumper’s mouth and ordered the noatman to row to the de street wharf.
