 Escape of a Captive Banoon-Two Coun-

 YOUNGSTOWN, Aug. 2.-An imprisoned bal loon that had been used here for short excur- sions by man named Henry, broke loose from the guy-ropes at 5:30 o'clock last Sat urday evening and started skyward. In the were two persons, man and @ woman, who had come into town from the neighboring country. There was large crowd of people standing around the guy-ropes at the time they broke, and Q cry of terror rose from them all. The balloon darted upward with marvellous rapidity. At first the occupants of the frail car did not realize that the bal loon had broken away from it's moorings, but when they glanced down and saw the earth rapidly receding, they gesticulated pit eously to the crowd as if imploring assist ance. When tie balloon had reached high altitude 1t drifted in northeaster1y direc- tion. It was followed by many people with telescopes, and finally disappeared in that di- rection. The man and woman in the balloon came into town Saturday from the country, and thought they would hazard a balloon ride. Word has been sent to all towns lying to the northeast of the place, and lookout will be kept for the balloon in case it should drift near the earth There was a great amount of gas in it, and it is feared that it will drift up to the lake. The couple who took this involuntary ride knew nothing about the management of balloons. At last accounts no word had been received at Youngstown as to their fate. It is hoped they have reached ground in safety further north.

No Hope for Balbo-Governor Cornell Re-
 fuses to Interfere.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Pietro Balbo, the Italian who cut the throat of his wife in their residence in this city, and who was arrested while fleeing from justice in Wheeling, W. Va, will be hung at the Tombs prison yard Friday morning. Every effort has been made to save him from the scaffold by his counsel. A monster petition for commutation of his sentence signed by 45,o0O persons was pro- cured and the Italian minister at Washington was enlisted in the lawyers service as were also the Catholic fathers. Their hopes have been dashed by the following dispatch ceived by Balbo's counsel:
 ALBANY, Aug. ?.
 The Governor is unable to justify himself in finding any just ground for interference with the execution of the unfortunate Balbo. It was learned that Governor Cornell made a personal examination of the case at the sug- gestion of the Italian minister Baron Blanc, and learned through Detective Carr, who ar rested Balbo, facts which, owing to neglect of the prosecution, were not developed at the trial. For instance, on the day of the mur- der Balbo sharpened his stiletto a grind stone at the Brooklyn bridge works, where he was employed, and after he had hacked his wife almost to pieces he stole the earrings from her ears and gold chain from her neck Balbo will be informed of Governor Cornel's decision tomorrow morning.

 LONDON, Aug. 2.-In the House of Con- mons to-day the Marquis of Harrington an- nounced that the Government had decided to recall Governor Sir Bartle Frere on account of the rejection of the confederation policy by the Cape Parliament. Lord Harrington said that the Government did not wholly agree with the Governor of Cape Colony in his statement attributing the failure of the confederation policy to the annexation of the Transvaal and the condition of affairs in Zu- luland, but that in any case it was deemed wise to try the experiment of new admins tration.

Woman Worried to Death.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Notice was given at the coroner's office to-day that Mrs. Annie Kennie had died suddenly this morning at that six weeks ago Mrs. Lizzie Cooper Cor don, the sister of Mrs. Kennie, died leaving a fortune of several thousand dollars. Mrs. Kennie was the next of kin and had expected that will would be left bequeathing her the money. On examination of the dead wo- mans effects no will was found, and the property went into the care of the Surrogate pending the rightful heir proving her claim. This greatly worried Mrs. Kennie, who was sick and nervous, and led her to fear that she would not get the money at all. She lost her appetite and her friends and sister-in-law say died of anxiety caused by the inheritance. Mrs. Kennie was thirty five years old, wid- ow. She leaves two children.
