The " Flying Man."

The London Daily Telegraph of the 10th
inst gives the following account of the
fatal accident to NJ de Groof, the Ely.
ing MAN.: II was announced yesterday
that at 7:20 p. m. M. de Groof, the Flying
Man, would repeat at the Cremornc
Gardens his astounding performance of
flying through the air distance of 5000
feet" True to his announcement the
FLYING Man did endeavor to repeat the
exploit which he had accomplished in
safety ten days before, and persisted in
the attempt. M. de Groof was a Belgian,
who had expended years in constructing
for himself an apparatus with which he
believed it possible to initiate the flight
of bird The general outline Of this
apparatus was in imitation of bats
wings, the framework being made of
cane, and the Interviewing membranes
of stout waterproof silk. The wings
were in all thirty-seven feet long, with
an average breadth of four feet, while
the tail was eighteen feet by three.
These wings were inserted into two
hinged frames that were attached TO a
wooden stand on which the aeronaut
took his place. Here he had three levers
which he worked by hand to give his
machine propulsion or guidance as might
be required; his theory being that haying
started from given height he could

are assured on good authority that as
general invigorant, regulating and BUR-.
flying medicine it has no equal. 1t is
stated that its ingredients obtained
from the wilds of California; are new to
the medical world; and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that it is compound of agents hitherto

there can be no doubt of the efficiency of

On the 23d Mrs. Tilton published a state

Beccher which affected herself.
On the night Of the 26th heavy storm
passed over Pittsburgh and Allegheny City,
Pa, the rain descending In torrents aud In
such quantities that II seemed as II the clouds
had suddenly met with some obstruction and
cmptied their contents In an instant. In u
few minutes the streets were converted into
waterways, and down the steep grades an
immense volume of water rolled with terrific
force tearing up the pavement, bursting sew
ers, inundating buildings and filing cellars.
The waters covered the entire city
of Allegheny and the adjoining districts, but
the most serious damage was confined to
Butchers and Spring Garden Runs in the
northeast portion Of the city, Woods Run In
the northwest section, and Saw mill Run In the
southwest portion of Pittsburgh. The great
est devastation occurred on Butchers and
Spring Garden Runs. These streams are nat
ural water.courses, but, flowing through
very narrow and thickly populated val
leys, have been utilized as sewers, most
OF the houses being built directly
over the runs. For nearly two miles
both valleys are not over $50 feet In width,
but vast areas Of hiily territory are drained
into them. The immense volume Of water
which fell was too much for the capacity Of
the culverts, and in few moments the
roads leading through the valleys were con-
yerted into resistless torrents. Buildings,
brick and frame, were swept away as II they
had been made Of sand, and the water, attain
Ing In some places to depth Of fully thirty
feet, carried everything before 1t. Dwellings,
stables, slaughter. houses and out-buildings
were lifted from their foundations and in many
instances were rolled ever and over, with
their occupants and contents. Whole
families, thinking themselves secure
under their own roofs, were In moment hur-
ried into eternity. In other Instances chill
dren we're swept away from thYarms OF par
ents. unable to make the slightest effort TO
rescue them from their watcry grave, On the
line OF these two runs nearly 100 dwellings
