A Cloud-Burst in Arizona.

FLORENCE, A. T., Aug 2S.-Late on Tuesday
evening an ominous looking cloud burst
with great fury on the ridge of the noun
tain northeast of the King mine. The water
divided on the ridge, part of it going on the
north side and part on the south side. If
this had not been the case the town OF Silver
King would have been a thing of the past
As it is the town was much damaged. A
miner by the name of ODonnell was washed
away with his cabin, and his body was
found fifteen miles distant. The Monarch of
the Seas was filled with water and rocks:
likewise the shafts of the Blk mine. The
men were hoisted out in great haste. The
property of the King remains intact. Great
powders weighing twenty tons were washed
and ripped from the mountain sides and
hurled into the road beneath as if they we're
but marbles or rubber balls The roadways
are pretty badly wrecked. Outside of O'Don-
nell no deaths were reported. The cloud
burst descended with great fury, and it
seemed as if all the waters in the gulf had
been concentrated and forced upon Strane-
man pass,

Al Royan, on the Gironde. there was on
Friday scene perhaps unprecedented in the
annals OF ballooning. NJ. Gratienssa we'll

several balloon ascensions was seated in ths
car, and NJ Gratien was holding in his right
hand loose coli tied to one of the cords that
served to attach the balloon. The balloon
Unexpectedly broke loose. and the cord, un-
rolling itself with lightning rapidty, caught
in a sort of running knot around the first
and second fingers of Gratien's right hand.
Gratien was Immediately whisked off into
the air 900 meters high. In vain he tried to
haul himself up on the cord and loop it over
his arm. After frantic efforts he became ex-
hausted, and hung at the end of the cord,
suspended solely by two fingers, and
suffering excruciating agony, owing to the
jerking of the balloon. The cord cut
like razor through the flesh to the bone.
In that situation Gratien was carried to the
distance of nearly four miles At the height
of 600 metres above the earth Mile. Alber-

WHEN
BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES.
Shaw Leaves Boston, Which Causes Ru
mors of CroOkedness.

mors of Crookedness.
Boston, Aug. 23.--I. Shaw, of the firm of I.
Shaw & Bros, failed has left town, which fact
has given rise to conflicting opinions as to the
cause of his departure. 1t is learned that on
the day before Shaws departure the attorney
for the National Park Bank of New York
came to Boston and made formal demand
on I. Shaw & Bros. for money which the
bank claimed was furnished through fraud
ulent representations which Shaw had made
regarding the financial standing of the firm.
The bank is a creditor to the amount of $133,-
000 This demand upon Shaw's firm was
known to be the preliminary step to the
commencement of criminal proceedings
which the bank proposed to Institute
against Shaw, and which, it is under
stood, have been since begun. The de-
parture of Shaw so soon after this
is looked upon with strong sus picion by
many interested. On the other hand Assignee
Wyman makes the following statement:
Shaw has been attempting, ever since the
failure, to find an opportunity to go to
Maine New Brunswick and Canada to find
out the precise condition of his business
there, and he started away for that purpose
on Tuesday, and is now either at the tanner
les OF Shaw Brothers & CASH. in Canada, or
on the way thither via Maine and New
Brunswick. The fact of Shaws departure,
coupled with the outcry raised by certain
creditors in New York, gave rise to some ru-
mors absolutely untrue, viz: that he left
Massachusetts to escape process. The over
whelming majority of the creditors believe
the Shaw firm acted honorably, and did
nothing criminal, and that the New York
parties are seeking to bulldozs an advantage
out of the firm.
A Montreal telegram says: Fayette Shaw,
who failed in Boston, is here visiting his
brother, an extensive merchant in leather
and hides He states that the object in COM
ing here is to have a consultation with his
brother about his embarrassment.

Report of Experts in the Hill Iuves tIGation.

Report OF Experts in the Hill Inves tIgation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Hill invest-
eating committee to-day received a report
on the condition of the heating apparatus of
the custom-house from Messrs. Robert
Russell and Albert Galloway, the experts
appointed by the collector of customs at
Chicago, at the instance of Assistant Secre.
tary New, to examine the apparatus. The
committee declined to disclose the character
of the report. 1t is understood however
that it corrobotates the testimony Of Wood
man as given before the committee. His
testimony was in effect that the apparatus
put in by the contractors, Bartlett, Robbins
& Co., did not, in several instances, meet the
requirements of the contract as regards the
quality and quantity of material to be used.
The report of Green, the other expert sent
to examine the work, has not yet been re-
ceived. Mr., New, the chairman, says the
report of the committee will be submitted
to the Secretary of the Treasury early next
week.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Aug. 23-Dr. Lewis
Swift director of the Warner Observatory in
this city, reports that he observed last even
ing what seemed to be comet in the ankle
of the constellation of Andromeda. The
Clouds however, obscured the vision almost
instantly. As there sno nebulae in the vi
cinity Dr. Swift is of the opinion that the
stranger is a comet. He was unable to de-
termine the motion. If this discovery turns
out to be a comet DR.. Swift wins the first
5000 prize for 1888 offered by Mr.. H. H. War
ner, the founder of the Warner Observatory,
who, however, made w. r. Brooks, of Phelps
a special award of $3.50 for the discovery of
comet the day before the prize for the year
was announced. DIR. Swift has won about
81, 200 by his cometary discoveries.
