TIE CoFyKx HousEs YESTERDAY
The coffee houses were al closed yes
lerday. Il is said that some Of then,
admitted customers through side OF
back way, and sold liquor all day long.
As to the truth Of this We can not vouch,
lbut we know that we met many persons
yesterday who were "freezin' " for q
drink" and they declared they had
searched in vain for bar-keeper who
would even slyly violate the ordinance.
We heard of but one open violation oi
the ordinance, and that was at Turner
Hall. The bar there was kept open all
day long, but a door keeper was en-
piOyed, and no one admitted but men,
bers of the association.
We heard of quite a number Of
amusing occurrences. In the thirteenth
ward, an Irishman who had indulged
excessively until late hour Saturday
night, walked up about O'Clock yester-
day morning, very thirsty, of course
Slipping on his pants and boots, he
broke for a coffee house across the way
for his bitters. Finding it closed, and
being informed that he could obtain IL
quor upon no condition, he became so
enraged that he butted his head against
the door for some FIVE minutes, to the
amusement of large number Of by
ISLANDERS.
The river being gorged with ice, ear
ly in the day, at the foot of Fifth street,
quite an array of thirsty individuals
made their way over the ice, to White
Hall, on the Kentucky side, where they
were greeted with smiles. Two or
three broke through the ice in crossing,
but being rescued from the water, few
good doses of ardent revived them.
Over the Rhine a large number of
the coffee-houses had immense scarfs of
black Grape suspended from the knobs
at the front door. On Vine street, be-
low Liberty, where liquor is retailed in
nearly every house, the sombre scarfs
waving in the wind made affairs look
right gloomy. The reason advanced
by the cofee-house keepers for this
funeral demonstration was, that their
constitutional rights had received a
death blow. Temperance people i'm
pudently intimated, however, that it
was token of respect for the many who
had died of hard drinking.
At the roll call of the police (day and
night) at the Ninth-street station last
evening, they reported that only two
drunken men had been seen by them
during the day. They were coming up
the western end of the city, and no
doubt procured their liquor, outside the
corporate limits.
The usual rowdyism Of Sunday night
was nowhere observed last evening,
which was attributed entirely to the
closing of coffee-houses. An improved
was to be observed at some
of the churches yesterday; which may
be set down as another result of the
closing Of the coffee-houses.
The police yesterday were generally |
very vigilant in the enforcement of
Mayor Snelbaker's orders. Intelligent
keepers favor the move
nent, believing that it is better in the
ong run for themselves and the COM

ExTRAoRDINARY BALLOON ASCENSION
BY LADY AND Miraculous ESCAPE
l see that you have in your telegraphic
column of to-day's Herald, a brief ac-
count of the balloon ascension of Miss
Louisa Bradley, from this place yester-
day. Her escape from death was so
miraculous, that think you will find a
more detailed account interesting. Miss
B. filed her balloon entirely with gas
from one Of the street mains, and at
one o'clock stepped fearlessly into the
car. She is small, delicate looking
woman, and was dressed in a Bloomer
costume of scarlet and blue. The bal
loon, held by rope, was then permitted
to rise about twenty feet from the
ground, when she made a short address
to the crowd of people. 1t then rose
gently, still held by the rope, until she
was one hundred feet from the ground,
when she cut the cord, and the balloon
rose perpendicularly with great velOci-
ty, until she had reached mile, or
mile and a quarter, as it was estimated
by those present, who were best able to
judge.
1t would appear, from her own ac-
count, that she knew very little about
the business she had undertaken, or of
the effect likely to be produced upon
the balloon when it reached the rarifed
atmosphere. The balloon was an old
one, andthe silk had become so rotten
that it was wonderful that it would bear
initiation at all. When she reached this
height she states that the balloon,
which was not entirely filed when it
left the earth, expanded until the gas
began to escape at the seams, and be-
came very offensive to her. She had
been so absorbed by the enchanting
prospect spread out beneath her, which
she says was magnificent beyond the
power of language to describe, that she
had not noticed the balloon. The es-
cape Of gas alarmed her, and she pulled
the valve rope, but permitted but little
gas to escape, as she was. afraid she
would fall into the Delaware, which
was directly beneath her. In a few
moments after this, the balloon sudden
ly collapsed, and to our horror and
alarm, we saw her fall with frightful ra-
pidity for the distance of six or seven
hundred feet, her progress then being
checked, from what cause we below 4.
could not see, although we observed that
she was descending quite slowly.
. 1t seems that when the balloon burst
It was torn into ribbons, except the low
sr part or neck of the balloon. So
was the upper part torn to
pieces that large pieces of silk blew
lway. and the remainder hung down
wen below the car. When she had
allen this distance, the neck of the bal
DON suddenly blew up, turning inside {
'ut. and catching against the net work G
ormed parachute, which bore her {
afely to the ground. She came down
an open. field, and so lightly did the f
an strike the earth that she says there /

Her presence Of mind was extraordi- d

CALAMITY AT THE PHILADELPHIA
COUNTY PRIsoN-PriSoners Sufocated.
About seven and half O'Clock this
morning, as one of the men employed
to feed the prisoners in the untried de-
partment on the south side of the coun
ty prison, opened a cell door, he dis
covered prisoner lying in an insensi-
bic state upon his bed.
The alarm was promptly given and il
was soon after discovered that the pipes
connecting the heaters in the three cor.
ridors, had become detached, and all
the cells were filed with the escaping
gas.
Every officer of the prison was
promptly on duty in the effort to rescue
the prisoners. The cell doors were
thrown open and the prisoners were re-
moved into the open air.
1t was ascertained that twenty of the
prisoners were overcome, and all ap-
peared in a state of asphyxia.
But one prisoner died. His name
was John Hyder. He was a young
man and committed in the month Of
December last, and was awaiting his
trial on the charge of stealing chickens.
Three other men named John Max
well, John Meyers and VIM. Cuyler
were nearly dead when released from
their cells.
The other prisoners were rolled up in
blankets, and under the treatment Of
