AN AERONAUT KILLED.
From the Abingdon VA standard.]

From the Abingdon (va.l Standard.l
Glade Springs, in this county, was on Mon
day thronged from all parts of the surrounding
country to witness the balloon ascension. Ac-
cording to announcement, the travelling show
Of Professor H. Hoffman made its appearance
and prepared for exhibition. Their large iron
furnace was put to work. and the balloon hoised
over 1t by means Of two poles on either side,
forty feet high. The balloon was inflated by
means of wood and kerosene oil, with small
quantity of gasoline added. When 1t was filled
as usual, Mr. Hainur, the @ronaut, was In
formed, but he said, II want more gas this
time" Two pints more of Gil were put in, and
when exhausted, the damper to the furnace was
shut down, then he Jumped into his position,
and, like an arrow, the great air-ship shot up
ward, carrying its human freight dangling at
its end.
It had assembled some 800 feet, and while the
actor was performing on horizontal bar, hang
ing by his feet with his head down, waving
handkerchief to the nervous audience below,
the patched and dilapidated canvas split from
bottom to top with report that was heard
miles away. No sooner had the gas escaped
than the balloon collapsed and came shooting
down as swiftly as it had darted up. The aero
naut saw his situation, and quick as lightning
turned himself up and regained his hand-ho!d,
and commenced manobuvre to dodge teie-
graph wire and post toward which he was fall
ing. This he succeeded in doing, striking the
ground with terrible force, which bounced him
up to be caught and pressed down by the bal
loon. All of this was the work of moment.
The crowd was literally paralyzed, women sick
ening and fainting, and men unable, in their
horror, to move. The companions Of the I'M
fortunate man stood riveted to the ground, and
not until some citizens undertook to move the
canvas did they stir.
The man was found to be alive and conscious,
lr..It.. Glad In luo1
through it ali calm and cool, and described his
feelings, as, descending, he saw and felt death
staring him in the face. He was taken to the
hotel, where both Mr. and Mrs. Tho mpson did
all In their power to relieve his sufferings.
and at II 80 o'clock D. m. he paid the penalty of
death for his recklessness. His name is Frank
Hainur, from Warren, Ohio.

the recent burning of the steamer
Governor Garland in the Arkansas
river: Captain Nowland's conduct
was heroic. Finding it was impossi-
BILE to rescue his wife and two chill
dren, he was compelled to forsake
either the former or the latter. He
had no time to hesitate, for the
flames were already scorching the
passengers. Capt. Rowland kissed
his little children farewell, and seiz-
ing his wife plunged into the water.
He looked back, but the little ones
he could not see, for his eyes were
filled with tears, such as only father
or mother can know the meaning of.
A deck hand named Billy Staples,
who lives in Memphis, witnessed the
sad farewell. Selling both of the
children in his strongarms, the brave
man leaped into the water and car.

Ex-Governor Fenton, of

Ex-Governor Felton, of New
York, has communicated to the
jamestown Journal the results of his
observation during a recent tour
through some of the Southern States.
He says that the better portion of
the population cared little whether
the President was republican or
democrat, SO that the policy of the
administration was pacific and they
could secure the control of their
State affairs. Generally he found a
cordial sympathy with the purposes
of the President, and an appreciation
of the prudence and firmness with
which they were executed and he
thought the count was to be congrat-
ulated on having a President of that
high moral sense and serene intrep-
idity which the virtue of statesman.

Addresses by Senators Davis and
Oglesby,

The two Illionis Senators Wis.
tied the Legislature of that State
last Wednesday, and improved the
occasion to make addresses. Senator
Davis spoke as follows before the
Senate:
II accept with gratitude the unsol-
icited honor the Legislature conferred
on me by electing me to the United
States Senate. Thss great trust is the
more acceptable because it is the gen.
errous offering of members of both
parties, and brings with it that indie
pendence witch every man in public
life should enjoy. have confidence
that in the near future, we shall en-
joy restoration of prosperity. To
this unity and peace is indispensable.
With their establishment l feel sure
the difficulties which stand in the
way of a revival of prosperity will
be removed. III contribute to bring
this about, 1 hope to receive your
confidence"
On visiting the House he said:
For thirty years when have had &C.
casion to say anything to the public
l have sought to prove it. But
dno't see how can do so now.
don't know that l can now show you
that you did wisely in electing me to
the Senate. But seriously, 1 thank
you for the high compliment done
me. You might have elected a man
who could have served you with
greater ability. You could not have
elected man who will seek more
earnestly to serve you we'll. While
the past cannot be recalled it is now
our paramount duty to remove all
traces of the struggle which endang-
cred the life of the republic. 1t is
now our duty to labor to restore
fraternal feelings, to clothe all the
States with their constitutional pow-
ers, and to insure full protection of
all citczens in their rights. For that
shall labor"
Senator Oglesby in his remarks
declared in favor of the remonetiz-
ing of silver and conciliatory policy
toward the South. He said. 81 am
in favor of the return of the era of
good feelings. / have no more bitter
nees toward the Southern people than
l have toward the people of the
North. l wish the era of good feel
ing to come when the people of the
South shall bow respectfully before
the flag. 1t would not be in good
taste for me to go further now. If
did might get myself tangled up,
and get you tangled up"

A Newspaper correspondent writes
that two United States flags stand
alone in corner of the great hall of
the Propaganda at Rome. The story
is that in one of the Italian rebel.
lions the leader of the insurgents
planted his cannon before the Propa-
ganda, intending to destroy it. The
frightened Papal authorities begged
Minister CasS to save the building by
the power of the American flag;
neither the flag Of England, France
nor Austria would be respected, but
the American flag would. After
much hesitation, Mr.. Cass publicly
removed his consulate to the Propa-
ganda and raised the flag of our Union
over its roof. The chief of the insur-
gents swOre he would not fire on the
flag, made his cannon ready and
moved away. The Propaganda was
saved, and the flags have this honor
for the good they did in time of peril.

Bell, the Georgia Democrat who
succeeds Ben Hill in the House of
Representatives, does not follow him
in the line of moderation and conser-
vatism. In wordy letter to the
Augusta Chronicle, Mr.. Bell viru-
lently attacks the President and the
Southern men who accepted the re-
suit of the Electoral Commission,
and raises his strident voice for war
to the end. The Chronicle very SEN
sibly intimates to Mr.. Bell that he
does not in these matters represent
the people who elected him.
