The rumor was current on our streets
yesterday, that [ r. VIM. q. Allen, of Wash
ington county, had been killed the day be
fore at his home near Lake Washington.
| DIR. Allen was once resident of Jackson
and his reported death caused great sadness
among his many friends. We have learned
since the first news came, that the report OF
the killing is incorrect, and most likely
without foundation.
We regret to learn of an accident which

/ The City Hall square and the street:
and sidewalks in It's immediate vicinity
were thronged last night by large GROVE
assembled to witness the ascension of Prof
Harris Illuminated balloons. Our citizen:
have seldom enjoyed such rare tIeat as was
furnished them, and their approval and de
light were expressed in various ways. Thu
first balloon was sent up at 1880 O'Clock, ant
about fifteen minutes afterward No. 2 wa
inflated and go, The last one was simply
magniicent-as it assembled signal balls
were fired, rockets were discharged, and ;
shower Of gold rain, flashing meteors, snakes
ETC., filled the air, Illuminating the heaven
with their bright and varied colors. The
sight was a grand one and will be long re
membered by those who witnessed it.
Friday night last the room at the depo
in which the mails are deposited for saf
keeping over night. was entered, during tn
temporary absence of the local transfer
agent. Isaiah Mitchell, and the iron safe
containing registers and other valuable
letters, was broken open, and twenty regis
tered letters, containing, it is thought, abou
5000, stolen. In a short distance from the
place of the robbery, the envelopes wer'
found scattered about On the ground, but
entirely free from cash. 1t is suppose d tina
the object of the burglars in doing this, wa
to DISPOSE of all evidence that might Leaf
to their detection. As soon as the theft wa
discovered search was instituted, but with
| out discovering the guilty parties. Th'
Penitentiary dogs were put on the trail an
for mile or two up the railroad they KEEP
it without difficulty, but after that become
confused and lost the track. 1t is though
from this circumstance that the burglar
i must have boarded a north-bound freigh
train and departed. Special detective inc
A. Galbreath has the cage in hand and
; vigorously working it up, but his labor
have not been rewarded yet.
