A PERIL0US BALLOON VOYAGE.

A balloon was recently sent up from
Lille, France, containing two occupants,
who had several very narrow escapes
before they again alighted on terra
frma. A heavy wind vas blowing at
the time, and on tho balloon reaching
an altitude of, 800 metres tho cold air
condensed the gas and caused the bal
loon to descend with fearful rapidity.
Carried along by the wind, it struck
violently against a tree, throwing out
one of the occupants, who only saved
his life by clinging to the ropes Of the
balloon and swinging himself into the
car again. The anchor was thrown out
but the speed at which the balloon was
travelling broke it off as soon as it caught
in tree. The balloon then started off
at furious pace, impelled by the gale,
and, in crossing railway, narrowly

SIT DOWN ON JOHN KELLY.

1t is about time to sit down on John
Kelly. He went to Cincinnati with six hun.
dred of his braves, determined to defeat Til.
den. He succeeded in creating the impress.
sion that Tammany would prevent the State
of New York from going for Tilden, and in
that way defeated the nomination.
Then the Hon. Henry B. Payne was pre-.
sented, but Tammany objected because he
was known as friend of Tilden's
They wanted only a pronounced
enemy, apparently. General Han.
cock was eminently satisfactory to
them and they proposed to reciprocate
Tammany was thus appeased and her gang
went about bowling the entire campaign
for Hancock. When the critical time ar.
rived John Kelly insisted on s'making up
the local ticket, and being again gratifed he
made selections which produced a religious
contest, and again Kelly sat down.
The New York city local ticket cost us the
State and though defeated we are relieved of
that dictation which has proven SO fatal in
the past.

A GREAT FAILURE.

~ b. HarUO0d d 90. SusDend-OVer Three
Hundred People 1hrOson O,st of EnaptOy-
anent.
The news of the failure of N. B. HARDWOOD d
Co.. wholesale dealers in dry goods and notions
aad also large manufacturers, spread like wild
fire through the city yesterday forenoon. 1t
was almost universally believed that the firm
was on a firm financial basis, and no one except
few intimately connected with the affairs of
the company were aware that the house was in
a shaky condition. An immense business has
been carried on by the house, and to all appear
ances there was not a sounder establishment in
the city. The news of the failure was known
by different parties Thursday night, and yester-
day morning the sheriff took possession of the es-
Enlistment The total liabilities of the firm are
not known as yet, but it is certain that they
will reach 100000, and perhaps $500, 600.
The assets, consisting of stock and bills re
ceivable. would probably reach nearly to the
liabilities if the full value could be realized.
But if the goods should be sold by the sheriff,
the proceeds would fall far short of the liabil-
tiles.
good many of the largest creditors are
fully secured. The First National bank holds
first mortgage for BAG, 625.27. Mrs. Susan
D. Harwood, the wife of N. B. HARDWOOD, is one
of the heaviest losers. She holds note for
loss.
:. In the manufacturing department 261 girls
and women were employed, and including the
clerks, book keepers, truckmen and others, 346
people were at work for the firm and depending
upon their wages for their support. 1t is a
hard blow to them. They will
all be paid off to-day, and it is sincerely hoped
that the house will resume in some shape in a
few days, and give these hands their old places.
Mr.. Harwood moved to this city from St.
Paul in 1876. He was doing large and pros.
porous business in that city, and Mrs. Har-
wood objected to the removal. This is the
reason why she held a note against the firm.
On closing up business in st. Paul the proper
ty was divided, and Mrs. HARDWOOD was given
half, 100000. This was loaned to the firm at
IL per cent.
The financial troubles of the firm dates back
to the fire of 1879, when a loss of nearly $780,
600 was sustained, and the insurance collected
amounted to only 1885,, 900.
Mr.. HARDWOOD has enjoyed an excellent repu.
tation as an honorable and public spirited man
He is well known among business men all over
the State, and the news of his failure will be
received with sadness by many outside of Min
neapolis and ST. PauI
