" rho two did a double act on the tra- KZO inside , but Mead did the outside ict alone. For this purpose A TWO-INCH MANILLA UOl'B was atrotchod across Douglas street Tom the Oaldwoll block to the roof of Woodruffs block , ubovo the Academy - emy and Gladstone's ntoro respective- y. One end was fastened to an iron liook and the other reeled , so that tlio rope could bo tightened each day. This WHS over the Academy , and it iu doubtful whether the safety of the other end was ever looked after at all or not , though a failure to take no common a precaution for safety would ficum to bo nothing short of ( IUM1NAI , CAUKLKSSNIISS on the part of the gymnast himself. llu AMIS accustomed to walking whether it was wet or dry , and is said to have walked the sixmo rope in Load- villo while a snow storm was raging. Ho hud ono serious fall in the Academy the first week , and is said to have had narrow escapes from death at Topeka , Kansas , and at St. Joe. Lie had been warned and expostulated with oovernl times for being so daring , but was utterly fourluss und was at the time wo write of negotiating for a WALK ACHOSH NIAOAltA FALLS. On the rope Ins performance con- mated of u walk from und to end , return backward to tlio center ami the execution of various ovoulutions on the rope including the sitting nnd kneeling posture , hanging by the hand and hollow of the knees and , worse still , by his toes and of ono foot only. Ilia "bost hold , " however , wna the "drop" where ho would ap parently loose his balance and while the women in the crowd weie shriek- iiujmid rAUALYKKn WITH TBKUOll ho would gracefully catch on to the rope nnd soon bo on his feet again. Ho had practiced safely holds for all pptbiblo emergencies and believed himself safe , but a breaking rope he had never provided for. There have of course been the usual prediction that the plucky tight rope walker would coino to a violent end , and small bets wore made frequently that ho would fall while here , but Ihi- was only guess-work , thouph it UnalK proved only too true. Saturday evi ning thcrovns an unusually 1. . . ciotvd , as it was thu last . - ) paranco of the ropo-walker , < < l . . . watched eagerly each atop of th > > , . . i- formauco.

WALKED SLOWLY out nbove the street and in sight of the gaping crowd. At the came time the Academy of Music band , led by Prof. Yager , struck up the first mournful strcins of the "Night Walls ! , " and all eyes wcro tixed upon the man so dohbnr.itely walking to his death , Ho had reached the center of the street , and stood balancing him self with Ilia pole , when suddenly he wiis seen to sink toward the earth with the sniftness of a meteor. llu still hold hia bar , and hia position on the rope was held exactly. Not a cry escaped from his lip ? , and his face showed no expression of fear but n thrill of horror ran through every looker on for THE HOPE HAD JIUOKEN , and the ill-fated actor was dropping down into eternity. Just before touching the ground ho dropped the polo and lit on his heels , but imme diately fell backward with fearful force upon the ground , the iron pipe striking him across the breast and bounding oil' , being bent to an ant'lo of forty-five degrees. Immediately the crowd ran from all directions to the spot. From nn upper window it looked exactly like iion filings at tracted to a magnet. As a policeman and others ran to pick the unfortunate man up , they were driven back au rapidly ns they had come. "THI : IIOI-E WAS CUT" was the exclamation on all sides almost before the victim , who rained partially on his elbow , fell back insen sible from the shock. lie was carried to Dr. J. 0. 1'antor'a Millard hotel pharmacy and Dr. llertzman was culleu , followed noon after by Dr. Mercer , both of whom had seen the awful descent. The crowd surged.for- ward but the door was cloaed upon them. As a reporter placed hi'j hand over the heart of the dying athlete , which still tluttercd feebly , A WOMAN who had come in nlao placed her hand on his breast , but some ono thinking her out of place invited her to leave thu room. NVho this woman was is not known , but there may bo more ronmnco connected with the tragedy than is known yet. Ilarry Mead's soul had passed away before many secondo elapsed from the fall nnd Coroner Jacobs was sum moned to tnko charjio of the remains , which were taken to his rooms and an inqunat hold at 9 o'clock , lasting about an hour. The jury wna composed of the following : Lu isW. U ill , Thus. Swift , Louis Bradford , D. Hanson , K. Davis and P. II. Luary. The witnesses were Dr. llertzman , John Kelly , Edward Galligan , John Maloney , Robert Glenn , A. 11. Glad stone and Frank Fowler. But httlo additional waa learned. It appeared that MIAI : > V > I'AUENTS reside in Allentown , Pn. , nnd that he haa relatives at West Point , Nob. , to both of which places telegrams were immediately dispatched. In the meantime the manni/ora of the Acade my notified the coroner that in case his trionds did not interpose they would take charge of and pay the expenses burial At penses of a respectable the timij of the accident the houao was opened and a largo number of tickets sold , it being Saturday night , and after consultation it was sensibly deter mined to Ict lllli KVKNINd VKliriWMANCK the to the go on nnd devote proceeds tmrml of the deceased. i There was not a little talk of the probability that the rope had boon cut , and tha jury investigated the matter pretty closely , ends of of the rope wcro both secured and looked strangely - unlike a genuine break , nnd decidedly like a square cut. It was impossible to get at any clue to a motive or villain that would originate such A riKNDISU 1'ltlME. The verdict of the jury , therefore , was "that the sniil flenry D. Mead had come to his death on the first day of July , 1882 , by the parting of a ropa vhilo practicing his profession as a MIB walker , uaid rope being extended from the roof of the Academy of M > sio to the roof of Gladstone's . coiy , opposite , on Douglas street. " I'ho" remains were put on ieo , and ' 10 dead man , us ho lay dressed in his 'i/lits partly , thrown biok from the breast , showed not a emglo mark or horatch on his face and body. Ho was , in fact , uninjured outwardly , es- cept breaking ono ankle , his death resulting from tha shock of the full , lie looked like a perfect marbo ! tutuo , and was handsome oven IP death in his I'JIYSIOAL I'EUFECTION. The remains were not exposed to the public until 3 p. yesterd y , when these wjio wished wcro permit- tsd to view the face. Over COO pur. sons passed through the room in throe quartern of nn hour , and had the privilege hecn accorded all day long , thousands would have availed themselves of it.

At the cloao of the performance last evening a meeting of the company , management nnd attaches of the Ac- ndfmy was hold. Andy McKee WHS chcsun chairmar , and stated the ob ject of the meeting to bo to unite in an expression in regard to the sad death of Htmy J. Mead. Several members of the company expressed their fcolinga m regard to the char acter of the deceased and the esteem in which ho was held. The following sentiments were adopted as u general expression of feeling on the pnrt of nil prcnent : Wo. the professional associates of the late Hft'ry ,1. Meail , of lli'e "Fcwter DJrothcrs , " desiring to express ourselves rcjjanling the startling trnRcdy of this evening , by which onfc'of our number has been so suddenly bereft of life aud launched into eternity by the will of } lini before whom nil must bow , be it the king on his throne i > C earthly power or the liiimWe actor who pluys welt nis pnrt on the mimic btage , have here moun fully apsan bled , We take this occasion to bear tribute to the exemplary life , genial compauiunrliip and hunoinblc character of ourdecea'ed brother. Though constantly exposed to temptation , ho maintained n reputation that in his young inanbond guaranteed moro meritorious things in the future hhould life- have been tpared. His every act commanded the respect of his employ er. , and won the fcinceio friendship ot his associates with whom ho was a favorite t > tar , n in his dating- acrobatic acta ho was thu pet of tlio public. Wo see in the shocking nnd unexpected occurrence another proof that "in thp midst of lifo v/c are in death , " and are inexpressibly - oxpressibly giieved that oue who was in thr llower of rnanho tl hab been laid low at tlio thicshhold of a career which promised to be most brilliant.
