aud that he would bring 1t to his house
next morning.. He came accordingly,
and on tapping at the door was an
swered by the servant. " Is the cap
tain in ?" he asked. "Yes what do
you want with him?n Tell him l
have a box for him; but | have left it
in the Piazza Monte Citorio, at Peti-
to's carpet warehouse. Come and
take it"
The servant went in to tell his
master, and was told he might accom-
pany the man and bring back the box.
He went accordingly, but on reaching
the Piazza Monte Citorio, they found
the warehouse closed. CARDINAL then
said wait here till | go to PetitO's
hOmse, in the Piazza Venezia, and get
the key from him. I'll be back i'm
mediately." And off he set at a rapid
pace. Once rid of the servant he
made straight for Capt. Fadda's house.
A moment thereafter a man was seer
running from hat house in his draw
ers and pointing to another man, also
running ahead of him. The pursuer
was Capt. Faddr, bleeding to death
from several deep wounds inflicted
by a pointed weapon. After making
a final effort to indicate the fugitive
he sank on the ground and died. On
the stairs was found a s%tiletto reeking
with fresh blood. A number Of
citizens gave chase to the fugitive,
shouting stop the murderer - till
two guards of public security arrested
him, and, in spite of his desperate
struggles to escape, took him to the
police office. He there said his name
was Pietro CARDINAL, professional
equestrian. His hands were stained
with blood. He said then. what he
persisted in saying before the judge
d%'instruction, that he was innocent,
that when caught he was running
by chance, hat his business in Rome
was to find employment in his profess
sion, and hat the blood stains were
due to his having been employed in
bleeding a horse some days before
The same day, on information re-
ceived from the clearinghouse where
he had put up, his companion, De
Luca, was arrested just as he was
preparing to leave Rome by train.
This man confessed he was privy to
CARDINALS design, of which he gave a
full account. He is now, however,
beyond human jurisdiction, having
died of consumption in Carceri
NuOye. Three days after the murder,
in consequence of preliminary inves-
tigation, Raffaelia Saraceni, or Fadda,
and Enriohetta Carrozza we're arrest
ed as ~aooomplioes. Both denied the
slightest knowledge of the crime.
Among the papers found in Captaia
Fadda's house are two-a COPY Of
verses in his own handwriting, run
ming to fifteen stanzas cOmplaing Bit
terly that he was deceived by his
welded wife and compelled to despise
her. The other document is a certif-
cate signed by Lieut.. Col. Calcaqui.
Of the Seventh regiment of infantry,
setting farth that Captain Fadda re.
ceiyed two wounds at the battle of

saw the air-ship from the moment 4
left the gardens until the accident
His story is to the effect that as soor
as the. balloon began to descend he
was conscious that a terrible accident
would happen, and, therefore, from
his elevated position he watched il
closely.
1t passed over Mission street at a
hight Of about $50 feet, and by the
time Howard street was reached it had
descended so near the earth that il
struck the telegraph wires on the left
side of that street, between Thir-
tcenth and Fourteenth, violently. The
contact was made between the gas-bag
and the basket. For a moment the
balloon remained in that position.
spinning around rapidly, both the
occupants of the basket being thrown
right and left. The wires were torn
of the poles a moment after, and the
balloon, free again, proceeded on its
way. The contact with the wires had
apparently severed some of the ropes
attaching the basket with the gas-bag.
for as the air-ship shot across Howard
street, the aeronauts were e cling
ing to the sides of the basket, which
was tipped up sideways. On the east
side of Howard street the gas-bag
struck the chimney Of a house on the
corner of Fourteenth street, and tore
it down.
Between Howard and Folsom there
is a large vacant lot, extending the en-
tire block, and after demolishing the
chimney, the balloon swept across the
vacant space like an arrow, the bag
twisting itself into every shape and
jerking the basket in every direction
with great violence. While passing
over this lot Williams was seen
standing up in the basket and cling
ing to the sundered ropes. ColgroYe
was apparently clutching the upward
side of the basket. By the time the
balloon reached Folsom street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, the basket
was hanging by not more than one
rope, and was just a little higher in
the air than the telegraph wires run
ming along the west side of the road.
Just at this moment Williams was
seen to fall like a shot to the earth,
and a few seconds after the basket
came down with Colgroye. About six
feet from the ground the latter
pitched head first from the basket.
Both men fell with ten feet of each
other. Williams struck upon the top
of his head and was killed instantly.
Oolgrove struck upon his back and
lived about an hour. The whole
affair transpired inside of fifteen min
utes.

How Far the Pleasure of SmOlx
ing is Imaginary.

LOuuOn Lahcet.l
The question has been asked VIVA
man smoking a pipe should not be
aware when the candle is put out
whether the tobacco is still burning.
There is, first, the point Of fact. II
may be questioned if any one really
finds himself in the difficulty sup
posed. We believe under certain
conditions, the doubt may exist.
Smokers are not always large con-
sumers of the weed. They often form
a habit of taking very little smoke
into the mouth and of breathing
chiefly through the nose, The con-
sequence is that the pleasure" of
smoking may consist in having some.
thing to do, and the sensation of do.
ing that something is quite as likely to
be a matter of seeing as of tasting.
In cases of this class the smoker, be-
ing deprived of his accustomed evil
dence or means of enjoyment may be
distressed. Of course, it is not al.
legged that a nan cannot ascertain
whether the contents of his pipe are
lighted when he happens to be in the
dark. That would be sheer folly.
Meanwhile the experiment. if such
it can be called, is well calculated to
draw the attention to the economic
question how far the pleasure of
smoking is generally imaginary. lift
be, a suitable substitute for the *.
pensive cigar and wasteful pipe might
be found in some permanent material
OF proper consistency, moulded into
the approved shape. 1t has long been
a mystery to some smokers how other
smokers could Systematically snake

ed three years ago, by Commissioner Cave,
that the Khedive actually got but about

European creditors. His fellahin are

Sherman and the Silver Dollar.

Secretary Sherman is a curious man;
he knows it was the intention of congress
that he should redeem subsidiary coins
under the act Of June 9th in gold, green
backs or silver dollars, as the holders of
the surplus amounts of such coins might
desire; but knowing all this,h has decided
to give the presenters of small coius silver
dollars in exchange. The law allowed
this because such dollars are lawful mon
ey, and he says they are good enough for
such purposes. And so they ere; but
why, Mr.. Secretary, are they not also
good enough for ofice-holders or bond
holders? An early answer is solicited

The Khedive's Refusal

Ismail Khedive has been informally
asked to abdicate by the representatives of
France, Austria, Germany and England
But he has positively refused to do so,
and seven hundred and fifty of his shieks
have sent addresses to him asking him not
to abdicate. AS he holds his office under
the Sultan, any general effort to remove
him must be made through his Suzerain
at Constantinople. But the Sultan is
little more than wax in the hands of the
great powers. Very likely the Khedive
has made the strongest possible appeal to
the Sublime Porte, which has golden opin-
ions concerning him, and will do so provided
1t does not cost too much But 1t is not
probable that the Sultan will risk his own
power to support the pretensions of any
body. The extreme demand Of Germany
is that the Khedive must pay all his cred
itOrs or go. As he cannot paw them all
for the excellent reason that he has moth
ing to pay them with, the demand is un-
reasonable and arbitrary. Moreover, it is
question whether king-for Ismail ia
virtually that-can be treated like com.
mon debtor and deposed because unable to
meet a claim. How would Austria or
England like to have this principle ap-
