TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Fearful Fall of a Balloonist.

LOUISVILLE. October 2.
The LouisyilleLedger of this morn
ing, publishes the following:
BY a passenger who came in on the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
Railroad yesterday morning, we learn
the particulars of a most terrible &C
cident that occurred at Paoli, O.ange
county, Indiana, on Saturday after
noon about four o'clock. 1t appears
that Prof. Wilbur, who has been ma
king balloon ascensions at various
points, recently, in Southern Indiana,
was advertised to go up at the Orange
County Fair Grounds on the last day
of the county Fair, which has been in
progress since Wednesday last.
At the time announced, the Profes
sor was on the ground and commenced
the imitation of his balloon, which was
in a short time successfully accom-
plished. Suddenly one of the cords
gave way, and it was evident that the
balloon was about to get away without
her passengers. Prof. Wilbur and
Mr.. George H. Knapp, editer of the
Orange County Union, who was to &C
company the Professor, endeavored to
lump into the basket, and as they took
hold of it, the other cords which were
holding the balloon gave way, and the
balloon started with the two holding
on to the ropes beneath the ca but
both failed to get in,
The balloon darted off like an arrow,
and Mr., Knapp, seeing it was impos-
sible to climb into the basket, let go
his hold and fell to the earth, a dis,
lance of thirty or forty feet, and
alighting on his feet escaped serious
injury. When Mr.. Knapp let go, the
weight detached gave increased mo
mentum to the balloon. The Profes-
sor still chung to the ropes, and tried
to climb into the basket, but in this
he failed. When the balloon had ris.
en- to the height of about half a mile
some reports give the height al
about one mile-Professor Wilbur's
strength failed him, and the rope gil.
ded out OF his hand, and he came tc
the earth with terrible velocity, killing
him instantly, as a matter of course.
A number of the spectators rushed tt
the spot as soon as possible, but life
was extinct, his head being mashed to
a jelly, and other parts of his person
fearfully bruised.
The balloon continued its flight,
remaining up some time, but eventu
ally coming to the ground about one

EN CLAM d.
THerald's Special

The Right Hon. Benz. Disraeli has
succeeded in producing a political and
popular agitation in Great Britain,
which may result in efecting most
serious and startling consequences
suddenly. The learned gentleman
has placed himself in direct commu-
nication with the Crown and its au-
thority, as it is worn and welded by
Queen Victoria. He has accomplished
the act deliberately, wilfully and pub
licly. He attended dinner to day in
Huntingdon. his country residence
and home. In proposing a toast to
the health of He Majesty, the Queen.
he took occasion to assure his friends
and neighbors that the sovereign lady
has became physically, and is moral
ly, incapacitated from performing her
public duties any longer. This as
%sertion was accompanied with senten-
ces of eulogy of Her Majesty, person
ally-concluding with the words
"Her duties are excessive. and no
Englishman is under such complete
control Of the political traditions OF
the country as the sovereign"

There. is no civilized country where
work is SO poorly paid as in Germany,
or where the earnings are in such dis
proportion to the expense of living.
The average earning of a workingman
is four thalers per week Ga thaler is
~sixty-six and two-tbird cents of Amer
lean gold), while it requires fora fam
fly of sixteen members at least eight
fthalers The result, says a Berlin
correspondent, is a series of efforts at
a cheap living, cheap enjoyment, and
general self denial. 1t is only a mas
ter workman tina. commands N tha-
Ter per day. 1 know of one who, to
secure this sum-, which is absolutely
required for his family, rises at three
o'clock in the morning and manages a
steam engine till nine o'clock at night.
Occasionally he must work through
the whole night and Sunday without
any additional wages. A common
day laborer, who has mastered no
trade, is glad to get employment at
twenty cents a day. Walters at the
hotels and restaurants do not average
this. Male ''help" gets about four
| dollars a month. A servant girl earns
fourteen dollars a year. Higher work
gets gradually better paid, yet only in
!, comparison.
A teacher in the public schools gets
from one hundred and fifty to three
hundred dollars a year. In gymna-
Sums, or what corresponds to our
colleges, the professors, who are re-
quired to be graduates of one of the
great universities, get, on an average,
six hundred dollars. A professor in
a university gets rarely more than
eight hundred dollars, besides the fees
of his hearers. OF course, the great
leading lights in science, and the pro.
fessores ordipaire generally, who belong
to q special class, of which 1 will
speak of presently, get better paid
Tutors in the wealthy families, a posi-
ton which the great Kant and nearly
every German l~iterateur has filled,
rarely get more than six hundred dol
lars a year. One, who is a graduate
of a university, who speaks, besides
his own language. French, English
and Italian, and can read not only
Greek and Latin, but also Hebrew
and Russian, and who is, besides, a
professional historian, and has made
original investigations in the litera-
ture and times of Herod, on which
subject he is no mean authority, re-
! ceives two hundred dollars q year in
addition to his beard:
The Government counsolors, as they
are called-lawyers, physicians, schooi
directors, etc.-who have the manage
ment of the matters pertaining to
their several departments in the differ
ent districts and words, and are en-
dowed for life by the Government,
get an annuity of 81, 800. This, how
ever, is the commencement Of the arts
tocracy, or of a class which, from here
ditary possessions a large perquisites,

This class, including the army and
police officers and the nobility, have
about all the wealth, while laboring

His words have been published.

His words have been published
The utterance has produced the most
tremendous excitement among the
people. 1t is canvassed by the high
est of the ~aristocracy, and talked of
among the most humble of the de.
mocracy. Disraeli has o~vershadowed
Gladstone almost completely in the
eyes of the people, who have been ac-
c~urately informed of every word of
his remarks, dispite a very vigorous
effort which has been made by some of
the metropolitan journal to suppress
them by non-publication. The sub
ject of the propriety of an %abdication
by the Queen is spoken of in the clubs,
and very many Of the most extreme
loyalists now regret that Her Majesty
did not Hearken to the advice which
was given to her by the late Lord
Pamerston years since, when he coun.
seled her to delegate q part of her
monarchial duties, such as the signing
of acts Of Parliament by Royal war.

Gil, and thus begin of her own free

ance from the throne years before her
death.
The Queen rejected Palmerston's
advice, and has since Held on to a
rigid assertion Of every essential of
the Royal prerogative with that spirit
of tenacity or obstinacy which has
been ever characteristic of the reign
ing members of her family. Disraeli
is likely to master the public crises,
Notwithstanding his bold ~diagOnsis of

lowered and irritable during many
months. She has been lately afflicted
with infammatory sore throat and
most painful glandular tumors, and
has only just shaken off a severe at
tack of general illness. The people
speak of the tendency to insanity
which is HEREDITARY in her family, and
there remains on the whole not the
slightest doubt that Disraeli has ex
pressed a sentiment which is already ma,

Death in a Dentists Chair.

The fact of the sudden death of a
lady from the effects of c~hloroforni
employed as an anesthetic, was brief
ly telegraphed from Brooklyn yester-
day. The particulars of the case, as
reported by the New York papers,
contain some interesting features.-
Miss Julia W. Doolittle, aged 81
years, called at r. G. Brewster's den
tai establishment in Brooklyn on Mon
day morning to have a number OF
teeth extracted preparatory to getting
a false set. She had been there on
the Saturday previous, and said that
she would be unable to submit to the
operation without taking laughing
gas or chloroform, but the dentist
hesitated about administering chloro.
form. He finally administered gas,
but did not have the desired effect
She wanted to take chloroform then.
but Mr.. Brewster refused to use it
He told her, however, that if she
wished to take it she must bring q
physician to the Office to administer
it to her. An engagement was &C
cordingly made for Monday morning,
and at that time Miss Doolittle called
at the office and met DR.. q. S. Little,
of Brooklyn, one of the most expe-
rienced physicians in the city. The
doctor asked Mrs. Doolittle if she wa:
perfectly healthy, and she said she was
but that she had once had slight pal
pitation of the heart, which she die
not view as anything serious. Dr.
Little then administered four drachm:
of ch~loroform to her in the presence
of Mr.. Brewster and. his assistant
who were in readiness to extract thu
teeth: After the latter had drawn tel
teeth, the doctor suddenly announced
that the woman's pulse was becoming
weak, and that she was sinking rapid
ly. They became alarmed and bega1
to apply restoratives, but without EFF
feet. Several other physicians wer'
summoned, and a galvanic battery wa
used for more than an hour, but all Ell
forts to revive the woman failed, ant
she died. DR.. Little was shocked a

searching discussion of the issues oil
the campaign. He successfully refut.
ed the pretended claims of the Repub.
lican leaders for a continuance of pow.
err in their hands. Sherman, Delano,
Garfield, Noyes and others base their
demands upon the alleged successful
suppression of the rebellion and the
restoration of peace. Mr.. Pendleton
demonstrated, according to their own
declarations, that peace did not exist
in the South although despotic powers
had been conferred upon Gen. Grant.
The next claim was, that taxation had
been reduced, and the National debt
was being rapidly paid. 1t was shown
that since the inauguration of Grant,
Eleven hundred millions of dollars
had been collected from the people
and only Two hundred and thirty
millions of the public debt paidI-
What has become of the balance! It
has been squandered by the admins
tration of President Grant in q little
over two years. This is reducing the
burther.s of the people with a ven
gesnce, and they should be very CRATE
full to the Republican leaders! The
financial policy of the Republican lead
ers is O failure. While hundreds of
millions hive been wasted and stolen
by faithless officers, very few. have
been punished. The public lands
have been donated to ~stupendous cor
ora tions, while sixty-four millions of
bonds have also been presented to rail
road companies. Thus, the country is
being oppressed and plundered with
out hope of change, unless the people
rally and place honest men in power
He appealed to the patriotic men of all
parties whether such a change was not
urgently demanded by the public e
cessitiesI Many Republicans we're
present and gave the utmost attention
to his remarks. Mr.. Pendleton has
few equals, and no superior as a pub
lie speaker in Ohio, and his bearing
was gentlemanly, truthful and candid.
His speech produced an excellent i'm
preston and was well received by all.

The J~udgship.

On Tuesday next the electors of
Ashland county will be called upon
to select a Judge for the Court of
Ceamoa Pleas for this Sub division.
When the Legislature was petitioned
for the creation Of an additional Judge
it was represented that such increase
was really necessary to transact the
business of the Courts of the District.
For the accommodation of the Bar, it
was presumed that the Judges, as far
as possible, would be selected from
different parts of the District, 30 that
litigants and Attorneys might be ac-
commodated without being compelled
to travel twenty or thirty miles to md
a Judge when papers are to be S!gneo
or other business transacted. Presum-
ing this to be the object of appointing
an additional Judge, every part of the
District yielded a ready assent. The
question o to be determined is
whether the Bar at Ashland really
desires for its own convenience, a
Judge in this County. If SO, would
it not be policy to vote without refer
ence to politics, for the man nomina-
ted in this County, who is admitted to
be legally competent? Or would ii
be wise, out of mere political spite, tc
dis-cblige the whole Bar and County
that a political opponent might be de
feated? We regard the question as
being above and out of politics. 1t i:
purely a question of who shall admin
lister our Courts without being inhu
-enced by party bias or prejudice. Tha
the people of Mansfield have any lie
ultimate claim for an additional Judg
we wholly deny, and regard such
claim as preposterous. That the Ike
publican, or any other party, shoul'
request the people of Mtorrow and ASH
: land counties to eeneede an ADDITION
al Judge to Mansfield would be tn
grossest injustice. Will the hepubll
cans of Ashland county, after having
: been snubbed by the greedy wire
workers of Richlsad county tamel
submit to injustice and cast their vot
for Mr. Dirlam, and thus do all the
can to dis commode themselves an
Others, in case he shall be elected fc
fhe next five years, and by SO doin
admit that no man of either party i
Ashland is capable of presiding in on

trust this injustice viii be resentet
and that they will support an Ashlan

Who Shall be Judge?

didates for that office before the peo-
ple--Mr. T, J. Kenny, of this place,
aud Mr. Dirlam of Mansfield. The
qualifications of either as far as regards
their legal attainments and. abilities,
make them eminently fitted for the
position !; but there are other qualih-
cations, which We deem essential to
the fulfllment of the position in strict
accordance with the claims of justice.
Men should be elected to this position
whose honesty, and integrity, are
above ~reproach, who are noted for
their independence of character, and
who are the lovers of right and JUS
tice at all times. Which of these two
men fill the bill? Certainly not Mr..
T.. J. Kenny, whose character through
out Ashland county is too well known
to need any ventilation from us at
present; on the other hand, Mr.. Dir
lam has the requisite qualifications
and the uprightness of character,
which will honor the bench, and not
drag the judicial ermine in the dust,
and stain it with the filth of political
strife. Let every man in the district
throw aside his political prejudices and
vote for the man who will dispense
Justice on all occasion, which man, ev-
erybody knows is not I. J. kenny
Times.
1t is here insinuated that Mr.. I. j.
Kenny is destitute of honesty and in
tegrity-that he is not above reproach
that he does not possess independ-
ence of character-that he is no lover
of right and justice!l
This reminds us of a little incident
that occurred in the Town Hall, about
the year 1865. 1t was in this wise
TIE people of Ashland, and especially
of Montgomery township, had beer
called upon by the Government fol

pendous effort to put down tie greai
rebellion. After much effort anu
many weeks of labor, an amount Of
money sufficient TO procure the men
was raised. Certain 'loyal agents
pushed themselves to the front, and
succeeded, as was alleged, in gobblias
large sums of money, which went into
their pockets in leu of the pockets o
the young men who were ready t.
hazard their lives for the restoration
of peace and order. When these al
legations came before the public, grea
indignation was aroused, and persona
violence threatened against the al
legged peculators. A meeting wa
called, in which all parties took part
Many short speeches were made, an
summary vengeance was about to b
wreaked upon the bounty thieves
