doctors daughter, who that lady was that

said, They had a nice carriage, and
wrapped her up so that she could not take

until this excitement took place After
the lady came to the house, Rosie went
for some time, then she returned to the
kitchen. In the evening Mrs. Rosenz-
weig called to me from up stairs to make
n cup of tea, and have Rosie bring it up
to her. | thought this very queer, rs

ARREST OF ROSA ROSENZWEIU.
The police authorities laboreI yester-
| day to obtain further evidence Of the
guilt Of Roscnzweig, and especially Of
the presence in his house OF Miss Bowls
| by. The detectives had become convinc-
ed that Mrs. Rosenzweig was an accom-
| plice Of her husband i'll His crime. and
that the officers who first entered the
house grossly neglected their duty in not
| n, LOT in,
the house for hours, and doubtless during
the murdered girl and burned up papers
that would criminate her husband.
Mrs. Rosenzweig was also allowed
for four hours. The missing watch of
Miss Bowlsby was perhaps disposed of
during this time. Capt. Cameron be-
came 50 convinced that he had made a
mistake, that early yesterday morning
he caused Rosa Rosenzweig, aged II, to
be arrested upon her coming with her
fathers breakfast The little Girl was
ross-questioncd, but no information could
be obtained from her, she denying that
there had been any strange woman in
the house
When asked concerning the handker-
chief of Miss Bowlsby, she replied that it
was nothing strange, her father often
picked up handkerchiefs in the street, and
that was no doubt one he had found.
The jew peddler who occupied q room in
the house, was re-arrcstcd and placed in
u cell of the station house. An effort
was also made to arrest Mrs. Rosenzweig,
but she had disappeared from the house.
SUSPENDED FROM 4 BURNING BALLOON.
At the close of the afternoon performances
oi Grady's circusiin Columbus. Ohio. on
Thursday, Mr. Charles Fisher, made an
ascent in q huge hot-air balloon, or rather
the balloon went up with Fisher dangling
to couple Of ropes suspended from be-
low. Immediately blue smoke was seen
10 issue from point on the side OF the
balloon, about one-third Of the way NJ
from the mouth to the top. Experienced
eyes at once detected that the balloon was
on fire, but the aeronaut, all unconscious
of his danger went on with his trightful
performance on the trapeze. When the
balloon was about 1,50O feet in the air.
the flames We're seen to burst suddenly
, from its side, and simultaneously Il cry OF
horror went up from the crowd below
Many turned away their eyes and one
woman tainted, all expecting that Fisher
would at once meet Il horrible death But
whether it was that the material of the
balloon was not very inhammable, or that
the hot air near the flame was not favor
able to combustion, certain it is that the
balloon did not burn rapidly, and tlic
aeronaut landed in safety upon the top Of
u slaughter-house, near the end of the
Hooking Valley bridge over the Scioto
while the burning balloon lit in the river,
the waters Of which speedily extinguished
the flames.
