BALLOON ASCENSION Professor Pmsey on Hand
at the Hand Tdrern.-The ffty-ffth ascension of
this 2ronaut took place yesterday from the wagon
yard of the Hand Tavern, North Paca street. at 5
O'Clock, p. NJ. On the last occasion, at Rullman 5
Garden, there a deficiency of gas-so taking
time by the forelock, the main was turned on at ii
O'Clock, with such happy indications of speedy in
fation, that the Professor was forced to order it
off, fearing that, if the balloon filled and show
ed above the fence, the yard would not be filled by
spectators, who all had free tickets for the outside
AT the proper moment however, the initiation was
resumed, and the balloon filled much more rapidly
than the enclosure, into which not more than one
hundred paying spectators penetrated. Not liking
this the Professor went out and addressed the ex-
ternal audience from an omnibus box. He praised
the baltimore people, especially the Baltimore
roughs-who, compared with other roughs, were
gentemanly dogs and quite good Christians. There
were some volunteer interjections among his hear
ers about "gas," ''soft sosp,'' "he's after the
rocks DC. The Professor, very unconcernedly,
then started to carry round his hat but being
lame, did not succeed in overtaking enough of his
listeners, who dispersed with great aacrtv, to paw
him for his compliments. Returning to the yard,
he ordered the gas to be shut off, and an
nounced that the insiders would be addressed by
ex-ProfessOr Elliott, Baltimore balloonist, who
having made a large fortune, has retired from the
business. EXProf Il. told his 'sfeller-citizeus''-
standing the while on the head of barrel-that
he wanted to say few words in behalf of his atrial
brother from the City of Brotherly Love, who had
come here with his splendid balloon the Quaker
City. Ex-Prof. E. then followed Prof p in his
dissertation on "roughs" and "Plugs," confirming
the theory propounded by the latter from the
omnibus box, as to the comparatively mild and
amiable natures the Baltimore boys. Not half the
lies which had been told on them were true. Com
ing to the pith of his argument he said "you all
know, fellow citizens that "going up is expensive
and am going round with the hat to take up con
tributons for my atrial brother" (rhs atrial
brother is short, fat. lame, and unwholsome look
ing generally After the ceremonial with the hat,
not very productive in con-Prof p. began to
"hax around in very animated manner, giving
orders in business way and enforcing them with
certain embellishments which ought not to belong
to the vernacular of the Quaker City. Hav-
ing everything ready and taking his compan-
ions, cat, and rabbit aboard, with
bottle, some grub, and few sand bags, he cried
out, "et her CO." But when they let her she
wouldn't. The Professor, however, threw out some
ballast aud large quartity of oaths and impreca-
tons, when the Quaker City rose about 80 feet,
but not fast enough nor high enough to clear him
OF the roofs and chimneys against which he brought
up In way very nearly sending him after the bal
last and the bad words he had just let fall. He had
still more of these on hand, however, and by throw
ing over another lot finally got away in a slant
lndicular northwest direction. When last seen, he
was going through the usual performance with the
flag of our country If the atrial brother kept or
swearing at the rate in which he went off, there is
little doubt he reached the glades before sun down.
Professor Pusey descended in the neighborhood
OF Lake Rowland, near the Relay House, on the
Northern Central Railway, about twelve miles
from the city. He descended in the woods, the
balloon lodging in tree. The Professor was
slightly scratched on of his arms, but received
no other injury. He secured his balloon and car,
and arrived safely in the city about o'clock.
DRowNED.-On Tuesday afternoon about seven
o'clock number of boys proceeded to the old ferry
boat wharf, back basin, for the purpose of bathing
and accompanying them were several small boys,
who were not allowed to enter the water. One of
those on the wharf, named Reilly, seven years of
age, whose parents live on West Falls avenue, ap.
preached too near the edge and losing his balance
fell into the dock. The boys who were bathing
made to his rescue, but before they could reach
him the little fellow sunk. Immediate efforts were
made to recover the BODY, which proved successful
in a few minutes, and although every means were
used to resuscitate the BODY they were unavaiine.
1t was taken to the home of the boys parents,
where Coroner Sparklin held an inquest over it
and verdict of "death from accidental drowning"
was rendered.
