The World It was in the power of the democrats ti defeat Logan , but bad manaRO- montpotty jealomloi andfgoneral demoraliza tion prevented the consummation , devoutly wished for by the whole country. The Sun The democrats of Illinois might have elected Trumhull if they had tried him , but were out-generaled by the republicans. The Herald Morrison's obstinacy defeated the party , which now has had onoueh of him. Wo hope that ho will not be appointed on the way and means committee again. BALTIMORE , The Sun The Illinois democrats have shown themselves to bo miserably Inefficient in management nil the way through the protracted - tractod senatorial fight which had its ending to-day. The Times After the exhibition of democratic cratic stupidity in filling the vacancy in the home , wLereby the republicans were allowed to got away with one of the strongest demo cratic districts , the democrats were out of fight by their own tomfoolery. The Chicago Tribuno's Washington cor respondent has talked with some of tlio party leaders and writes : "Well. I am glad of it , since it had to bo a republican. I nilmiro pluck , and courage , and dash , and Gen. Logan lias made n bravo fight and Is a manly follow. I like him. " And Gov. Curtlu , of Pennsylvania , brought his hand down on the tabla oa ho said this with n vigor which indicated ho was in earnest. li'o add ed : "And you can put that in the papers if you want to. I don't cato who knows it. say that if a republican had to come from 111 ! nols I am glad to know that Logan has had the good luck to be returned. " Senator Pugh , of Alabama sat next. He said : "I want to say that , since a republican had to bo elected , 1 am glad than Logon won. I waa with him in tha thirty-sixth congress. I have known him more or less over since , I admire him for his good qualities , his integri ty , and courage , and I shall be glad to BOO him back tn the senate , " Singleton of Illinois waa also in the group. Ho said : " Well , I suppose it had to bo. The election of a republican in the thirty-fourth district seemed to settle It , and I am pleased to know Gen. Logan was successful. I have a high regard for him , and ho seems to have conducted his canvass in a manly and honorable - orablo way. Ho will never do any thing to the discredit of the state of Illinois ! I think our people , however , made some extraordinary traordinary mistakes. They ouflht not to have lost the senator. Congressman Uick Townshend came up , He eaid : "Of course I am sorry that the democrats have been successful. Wo have fooled away a senator , but I have nothing tc say apainst Logan. If any republican was to come I prefer Loran to any of the rest . I am glad , in any event that the senatorial mat ter is out of tha way. The people of the state were heartily tired and disgusted with the legislature , and now they can RO to work , transact necessary business and adjourn. " Mr. Townehond said , also , ho was satisfied that the Illinois home and foreign appoint ments would bo made at once. He saw no reason for delay. Excuses which have been made have no longer validity. Ho for one intended from to-morrow to present the can very strongly to the administration. Isaac It. JDiller , one of the old democrats , who Is hero and Is confident- will bo ap pointed consul-general to Paris , thought thi democrats had lust the senator by their own inexcusable blunders. The Illinois democrats were not in a hurry to carry news of their senatorial defeat to thi white house. It was late in the afternoon be fore the president wai informed of the olec tlcnof Logan. The republicans , on the con trary , distributed the newj rapidly. Thi first priyato dispatch announcing the resul' ' was crrriod quickly to lur. Blatrio , He received ceived the news of the success of his compan ion on the intlonal ticket with enthusiasm and evident delight. "I am heartily and ( in ceroly glad to hear it , " he Broplicd to tin bearer of the news. "Jlapubllcans through out the country and nil who know of Gen Login's bravo and eo -sacrificing devotion ti his party's interests will rejoice to learn hi has secured n seat in the senate for auothc term. 'I'o-dav'o election ia a source of th greatest gratification to me nud all who kno\ and admire Gen , Logan , " At the white house no information of Lo gan's election reached the library for sevora hours after it waa bulletined about the citj No private dispatches or prest bulletii brought the tidings to the president. _ IS callers came to communicate it. The cabim meeting broke up and m'cmbcrs dispersed i ignorance of the result , Secretary Lamar wa mot after tlio cabinet meeting , and when tel that Logan had been re-elected immediate ! became silent nnd walked on. The news evidently iv subject for thought to nil tl cabinet. They are all disposed to be silen and to walk on , nnd to wonder what sort political prophets Morrison and Ober are. Tha drift of democratic opinion about us here indicated : The dem ocratio political leaders admire Logan , bu they greatly regret , on party grounds , hissu cess. They know that it means a stony ron for many of them In tbo senate , When tl report came in the evening papers and wa announced to Cleveland'ho expressed no tu price. The president had never believed tl representations that the election of a demo , crat could he accomplished by his interfer ence , and since the election of Weaver he has so reminded _ Illinois men who appealed to him that their efforts to secure Interference from Washington lad them to neglect important matters in Illinois and to sac rifice a senator. Many of the best-in formed Illinois democrats believe that from the first the president's ono doalro has been to avoid any action which could place tbo re sponsibility for defeat on his shoulders , and to escape the accusation of interference in a struggle in which the propriety of bis par . ticipation might ba ioquested on , nnd which he never regarded aa likely to result In vic . tory. Tha president bos shown a lack of con fidence In the democratic leaders of Illinois , and when taken to task for this has pointed : to their blunder ? . He has postponed ap pointments when Morrison represented it : might be injurious to him , but ho has re trained from taking steps which wore urged merely on account of their supposed effect on t e senatorial contoit.

NKW YonK , May 19. This afternoon a cab loft the New York ontrauco of Brooklyn bridge nnd waa driven to the middle of the great span. Hero the driver pulled up and two men got cut and began to climb the mil Ing , Before they had reached the top a po liceman came towards them brandishing his club and ordsring them to "gat down out of that , " While ho was talking with the young men a covered wagon containing Prof , Odium nud a companion stopped about ono hundred feet behind the cab. Quickly divesting him self of a blue flannel in which ho was dressed , Odium , clad in n red shirt and trunks jumped from the carriage nnd sprang lightly to the ratlin ? . Ho quickly reached tlio top and pos ing himself for a moment stood erect and glanced hurriedly at the surface of the East river far below him. People on the bridge sent up a cry of horror when they saw the professor prepare to plunge off the bridge into the river 135 feet beneath his feet. The policeman now rushed toward the professor , but before he had gone a dozen feet Odium , without a moment's hesitation had leaped from tha railing out into the air Ho held ono hand above his head as a rudder to guide him in his descent. The river below was at the moment clear of shipping. A tug and schooner floated lazily in the stream several hundred yards below tbe bridge. The tug was filled with club men and reporters. Capt. Boynton stood near the prow nnd clotely watched the bridge. Tbo moment Odium's body was seen to leave the railing Harry E. Dixey , the actor , started a stop watch which he held in his hand in order to time the descent for nearly 100 feet the pro fessor came down all right , feet foremost. Ho shot downward with tho.spped of a meteor , his red suit making him easily discsrnablo for a long distance. When within thirty feet of the water his body began to turn. As if realizing his danger , Odium brought down his hand with a quick motion to aid him In recovering his balance. The movement.how- over , was too late , the body bad turned BO far it was now Impossible to change' its course. Half a second later , with a migntyeplash that threw up water on all sides as If torn by a shell , Prof. Odium's body struck the water on ono side and sank out of sight. A tug hur riedly Dushed itself forward to the place where the body fell , and Capt. Boynton , after seeing that life preservers had been thrown Into tha water , sprang over the side of the boat and waited for tha body to como to the surface. Soon he saw the white face of the professor rising from the water and in a mo ment was by his side. Seizing a life preserver near by he placed it beneath the body of. tbo insensible professor. Blood mingled with froth came from the mouth of the daring man. A row boat soon came to tbo rescue and Odium was tikou from the water , A few moments later he was tranbfered to the tug nnd rest.ratlves administered. After considerable rubbing , the eyes of the professor opened. "What kind of a jump did I make , " he whispered. "First-class , my boy , " responded Boynton ; you'll be all right in n llttlo whilo. " But ho was insensible again before the { words had hardly left his lips. The tug 'steamed hastily to her slip , and just as the pier w/is reached a shudder passed through the frame of the professor , and then after breathing heavily once or tw.'ca his heart stopped beating and ho was pronounced dead. The body was taken ashore and taken to the undertaker's. Prof. Kobt. E. Odium waa formerly a professor ser of a swimming bath in Washington , but lately bad been clerk in Willnrd's hotel. It had been his ambition to jump from the Brooklyn bridgo. Ho mada an attempt once before the bridge was completed , but was pre vented by the police. Ho was 3.J secjnds in the air before striking the water. Odium was unmarried , nnd was 33 years df age , and a man of good habits. Prof. Odium , who jumped from the Brooklyn bridge yesterday , was born In thii city , and his mother and sister reside here. His sister ia a Charlotte Smith , well known in Chica go , from her connection with thn work of opening new fields for woman's industry. Ho has several times jumped from great heights into water. In 1880 , during tha Uanlan Courtney race 1m jumped from the aquedact bridge into the Potomac , and later from the top of the smoke stack of the Lady of the Lake , a distance of more than 100 feet. Odium's mother and slater did all in their power to prevent him from making this last jump , and are nearly urazod with grief James Huggart who accompanied O Hum on his mission to take the fatal jump , was ar raigned in the Brooklyn police csurt to-day on a charge of aiding Odium to commit an act endangering his life. Another charge against him is of outraging public decency , and aiding the net. The accused waa committed to jail without bail for examination , Kvcn DIploimitH nro 1'roy of Doctors , LOUIBVILLS , Ky , , May 20 , Dr , A , W.

CHICAGO , May 20. Early this morning n dangerous looking fire broke out in the midst of the wholesale district on State street , in the basement of the candy oitablishment ot John Kranz.

The entire stock of John Krauz' candy establishment is ruined by fire , smoke and water , also some valuable machin ery on the upper floor * .
