Frightful Fall and Miraculous Escape
of An AerOnaut.

Rockport lind. correspondence of the
Cincinnati Commercial: GA terrible
accident occurred at the Mclean county
(Ky.) fair on Thursday last, the particu-
lars of which have just been received
here by parties witnessing the occur
renee. One l.. ID. Atchison, who has
been making balloon ascensions at the
fairs of several counties in this vicinity,
was engaged to make a daily ascension
ut Calhoun, KY, and on Thursday, while
preparing to ascend, it was noticed that
the balloon was very frail, the cotton of
which it was made being badly damaged
by the smoke and hot air used to initiate
it. In opposition to the warnings of the
spectators the ascent was made, ana
while ut height variously estimated Mt
between 500 and 1000 feet the charred
canvas took fire, the balloon collapsed,
and Atchison commenced the descent at
a fearful rate of velocity. When he first
noticed the fire he made an effort to
swing the balloon so as to fall among
clump of trees near the fair grounds,
and partially succeeded. He struck the
limb of gum tree III his descent, break
ing off the limb, which arrested his
speed and fell with him to the ground.
1" The spectators, some of whom were
so horror-stricken they could not follow
his descent, saw him as he came down
and disappeared behind the fence inclos-
ing the ground. The people made a
rush for the spot, and so great was the
rush that a large portion OF the fence was
broken down. Atchison was found lying
insensible under the slowly-burning
canvas of the balloon, al d the heavy
limb of the tree lying across his pros
trate body, which apparently struck the
earth with such force as to make deep
indentation. He was taken up and con-
veyed to hotel, where it was ascer-
tanned that his left thigh bone was badly
fractured, but no other bones were
found to be broken. He recovered con-
seriousness in short time, and told those |
around him that when he discovered the |
fire in the balloon he resigned himself |
to death, but made the effort to guide |
the balloon to the timber as q sort OF
forlorn hope. He retained his presence
of mind until he struck the tree, when
the blow stunned him, and he lost con-
sciousness. The physicians think he
will be able to get about in a few weeks,
no internal injuries having been discov-
red, but the external bruises are fear
ful, under all of which the poor young
nan, who is only about twenty-three
% old, bears up with great cheerful
ness"

In 1878 there died in Copenhagen al
eccentric merchant, once wealthy, but
whose fortune had, by unsuccessful
speculation been reduced 70 5000 rix
dollars. Two-thirds of this he invested
"for the benefit of his descendants,
and provided by will that neither princi
pal nor interest should be drawn for 100
years. Long before the expiration OF
that time the singular provision was for
gotten. About two years ago the will
was discovered by lawyer, IN the Reg
ister's office at Copenhagen. The lawyer
found the heirs scattered through all the
countries of Western Europe, and that
one had found her way to America. The
latter was Mrs. Julius Knochenduppel,
native of Hamburg, who came to New
York about twelve years ago, where she
married in 1863 Knochenduppel is a
waiter employed in Monquin's restau-
rant on Fulton street, or rather, he was
employed there until few days ago,
when an official note from the Register
of Wills in Copenhagen informed his
wife that she was heir to $4,000, and
directing her to present her claim in per
son as soon as possible. Knochendup
pei lived in INDECENT circumstances III
Hoboken, with his wife, two children
and his wife's mother, but he's gone af
ter that $50, 900 now.

The War i'm Cuba.

A late dispatch from Havana says
The police are searching houses and
arresting persons presumed to be i'll
connivance with Carlos Garcia's band or
with the insurgents. Forty or fifty per-
sons of all classes in Guanabacoa and
Reea, and as many more III San Felipe
and Bejucal, and several in Guines and
other places, have been seized in the
middle of the night, bound and marched
off to prison, among them some foreign
ers. This act of the authorities is the
basis of numberless canards.
The reinforcements from Spain are
being sent rapidly to the front and dis
tributed according to the Generals
plans, all but the cavalry regiment,
which is detained for lack of horses.
Only one squadron has yet been fur
nished with this element of equipment,
but it is said that second is nearly
supplied, and that great exertions will
be made until all are sent forward. The
difficulty, however, in finding horses, or
rather in getting money to pay for them,
is thorn in the side of the government.
The Alba of Santa Clara reports that
the work of building forts goes on ac-
lively in that region, and that several
new ones are projected. 1t also an
nounces the shooting of Don Rafael
Martinez for high treason, adding that
he met his fate with rare fortitude.

How He Wanted His Picture Taken.

Yesterday young man with a wart on
his nose dropped in Mt the Sherman pho
tograph gallery, and remarked that he
wanted some pictures taken.
"Will you have it standing or bust Z"
querled the artist.
Bust !" exclaimed the fellow, as he
picked up his hat. BUST Mister, do
look like man who would come into
picture gallery to get on bust r.
They explained to him, and finally
persuaded him to sit long enough for a
negative. The picture was good one,
and the nose stood out like black cat in
bay window.
The fellow looked at it, and as he
handed it back said, "Shoot again, old
pard, and see if you can't make the wart
look like piece of chewing gum"
They told him that it couldn't be done.
"Well, see here, now, pard," he
pleaded, "my names Trufiles, and I'm
engaged to girl back in Injiana, and
she wants my picture. She don't know
I've got this wart; it's growed since l
left there; and if you could just rub it
out of the picture and make it look like
something that she's familiar with-a
slice of bacon, for instance-Pd feel bet
ter"
They fixed it up for him, and when he
went out he chuckled:

rally think I'm hoatin' round in solid
comforts, like bacon and string beans

THE VIRGINIA CITY FIRE.

The People Hopeful and Happy, and Pre-
pairing to Rebuild--The situation at the
Mines.
A press dispatch from Virginia City,
New, says:
Matters are much more cheerful. The
women are doing noble work in relieving
distress. Large numbers of men are al
ready at work clearing the ground and
rebuilding. Work has commenced on
the Ophir shaft. Men are clearing away
the ruins of the Consolidated Virginia
works. One engine is found to be good.
The record vault of the Court House is
being dug out. The ruins of the Bank
of California are being cleared away, be-
sides a great many workmen are engaged
for private parties. A number of firms
have resumed business. The insurance
adjusters are hard ut work. Their liza
bilities, as far as can at present be ascer-
tanned, are about 81 800, 900. The pris-
oners held for petty offenses are set free,
and others are removed to Carson and
Gold Hill. A meeting of the lawyers
was held to make such arrangements
as the necessities of the case demand.
A committee was appointed to call a
meeting of the county on next Thursday
to consult with regard TO reconstructing
the county buildings, and petition fo.'
an extra session of the Legislature to
provide for cases arising from destruction
of records and municipal institutions.
L have just had an interview with
John Mackey. he says he has been
through all the mines, and they are all
right. There is no gas or fire in any
way connected with the Gould K Curry
mine When the old side shaft now
used as an air shaft for the Andes was
burned, the gas went through the La
trobe tunnel, and worked its way into
the mines. The gas is now all gone.
Work will be commenced in the way of
haisting ore In the Consolidated Virginia
witIain sixty days. Mean while about 800
tons will be hoisted daily through the
Gould & Curry shaft from the Consol-
dated Virginia mine. About 300 men
vail be employed Immediately. -Four
hundred men, together with those en-
ployed at the Consolidated Virginia mill,
must remain idle. If the Ophir mill
had not been burned the Virginia peo-
pie could have hoisted through their
shaft as well as the Gould d Curry.
| Things look more cheerful to-day
than they did on yesterday, and by spring
everything will be running as well, If
not better, than it did before the fire.
Many mechanics and laborers will have
to go to California and return in the
spring This they probably would nave
done even if no fire had taken place.

Tho Agricultural Department crop returns
for October show that the wheat crop of the
present year is a short one am that there is a
marked deterioration in quality. The average
thus far reported is about 80 per cent. OF last
years production. If this indicates the total
depreciation, it amounts to nearly G2,000,O00
bushels, and gives the crop at 246, 000,0
bushels. In quality the crop averages IA per
cent below a sound condition. The condition
of the corn crop is exceptionally high. The
product reported this year falls short Of 1874
about per cent. The oats product il per
cent greater than last year. The potato crop
promises to be extraordinary, both in yield and
quality. Tobacco il 2 per cent above the aver
age. Barley is 81 per cent. Of last years crop,
and buckwheat not far from the average.
The October report of the Department OF
Agriculture contains accounts from New Jer-
sey, Wisconsin and Minnesota showing a large
decrease in the cranberry crop Ivy insects and
frost. The rice crop of the South il larger
than usual. The sugar cane crop promises
poor yield. The sorghum crop is represented
az generally fine. The hop crop is quite good.
The hemp crop is very fine. The number Of
fattening cattle in the country is somewhat
greater than last year.
