Encounters "a thunderstorm

A New Haven, Conn.,, special says
This afternoon a large balloon aSccn.
sion was arranged to occur at WinSte d,
in which Professor Brooks and Fred
srick Moore were to ascend. The bal
loon was nearly one hundred feet in
height by eighty feet in diameter.
There were about five thousand persons
assembled from all parts Of Western
Connecticut and Massachusetts and the
river counties Of New York. The
balloon made ready to start about
o'clock, and assembled in excel
lent shape. During the prepare
tions ominous thunder clouds arose
and the balloon had ascended sew.
eral hundred feet when it encountered
thunder and lightning in the clouds
The seronauts became frightened and
began to descend. They threw the bal.
last out too rapidly, causing it to ca.
rsen, and much wet gas escaped. The
balloon became unmanageable, and
when it was about fifty feet from the
ground the basket upset, throwing the
occupants out TO the ground. The
seronaut, Professor Brooks, was sc.
riously if not fatally injured, and Mr.
Moore only slightly.
The latter is wealthy young man,
residing in winsted, and accompanied
the seronaut for experience. During
the ascension dove and pigeon were
released with messages to the specta'
tors.

to be either meteorite or fragment of

been originally jacinth Of dazzlln;

as ink by the touch Of sinful man,
and that it can only recover its original
purity and brilliancy at the day of
Judgment. The millions OF kisses and
touches impressed by the faithful have
worn the surface considerably; but,
in addition to this. traces of cup
shaped hollows have been observed on
it. There can be no doubt that both

Of high antiquity, and may possibly
have belonged to the prehistoric wOr-
ship which marked Mecca as sacred
site long before the followers Of the
prophet had set up their shrine there.

A GALLANT ADMIRAL.
fIc Caa the Bends OF Thirteen Moors into
Tub Of Pork.
lLondon Telegraph. j

London Telegraph
A new war-ship was recently launch
ed in England which was named after
John Benbow, q famous admiral of two
centuries ago. lie was descended from
an ancient Shropshire family, which
was reduced in fortune by its staunch
and loyal adhesion to the cause OF
Charles |. His father, Colonel John
Benbow, died when the future
admiral was very young, leaving
no other provision for the boy than
that indicated by the words that he was
'bred to the sea-" Before thirty he
became master and part owner of the
Benbow frigate, employed in the Medi-
terranean trade, in which he would
doubtless have acquired comfortable
fortune had not accident brought him
into the royal navy. In 1886 he was
attacked upon his passage to Cadiz by
q Sallee rover, against whom, though
fearfully overmatched, he defended
his ship with heroic bravery. Although
the Moors boarded him, they were
quickly beaten out of the ship
with the loss Of thirteen men, whose
heads Captain Benbow ordered to be
cut off and thrown into tub of pork
pickle. When he arrived at Cadiz he
went ashore and directed his negro
servants to follow him with the heads
of the MOors in a sack. Scarcely had
he landed before the revenue officers
inquired what he had got in that sack.
90 Salt provisions for my own USE"
CURLY replied the gallant tar. The
custom-house officials demanded to see
them, but Captain Benbow refused.
lie was then informed that the magis-
trates were sitting, and that he would
have to 60 before them. lie was
treated with great civility, and told that,
as the salt provisions were Of 10 con-
sequence, he could not object to show
them. Caesar exclaimed the stern
old sailor, turning to his servant,
throw them on the table they are
very much at the service of these gen.
tlemen, if they like to partake Of
them" The SpaniardS were so struck
at the sight of the Moors' heads. and by
the narrative of the action in which
their former owners fell, that a report
Of the Renaissance was dispatched
10 the court at Madrid. where
Charles H., then King of Spain,
invited Captain BeubOw to pay him a
visit. His Catholic majesty sent the
gallant Englishman on his way with
letter addressed to King James ii. of
England in its bearers favor. On ar
irving in London, Benbow was APP
pointed to commission in the royal
navy, and the story of his action in the
Mediterranean became so popular in
the rough times prevailing in this and
every other country two centuries since
that the Moor's Head" and the
" Saracen's Head" soon became a ia
vOrite sign for public houses scattered
throughout the length and breadth of
the islands. Such is the first of the
inspiring memories recalled by "Old
Benbow'S" name. which typitieS the
intimate and cordial connection which
has always subsisted. and never more
than at this moment, between the royal
and the mercantile nayieS of " the
mistress of the seas"

LONDON, July 3O.-Lord Randolph
Churchill, Secretary Of State for India,
and the Earl Of Iddesleigh (Sir Stafford
Northcote)' First Lord of the Treasury.
both remained away from the banquet
to the Ministers last night. Their alb
sence has caused much comment, and
has added to the sensation produced
by Lord Randolph's decision at the
last moment to not attend the great
Tory meeting yesterday in Liverpool.
where he was to be the principal
speaker.
The Times, commenting on the Liver
pool incident and on the explanation
that the Indian Secretary resolved not
to 60 to Liverpool because two Tory
members Of Parliament from that city
had refused to support his Irish policy
in the House Of Commons. says
THE whole affair is an illustration of
lack Of unity the Conservative party"
The first reports about reasons for
Lord Randolph'S absence from Liverpool
are confirmed. lie telegraphed to the
meeting an expression of sympathy
with the objects of the meeting, aud
plainly stated that he must decline to
take part in it because two COnServa-
tive members from that city had in the
House Of Commons voted on the dis
approval of the Governments policy in
Ireland and on the medical relief bill.
The Liverpool meeting was post
pOned because Of Lord Randolph'S re-
fusal to attend. He has agreed to 20 to
Liverpool month from now and adj
dress a meeting of Conservatives there
on his own account. The excitement
in Liverpool over last nights occur
renee is very great to-day. Delegates
from all sections Of the Conservative
party in England have been aroused by
the incident. and have united in en-
powering Arthur Il. Forwood, one Of
the Tory members from Liverpool, to
proceed to London in The name of the
party and interview Lord Randolph and
other Conservative leaders, and arrange
to secure an address in Liverpool from
the Indian Secretary upon his own
terms and at his own convenience.
The Standard this morning bitterly
attacks Lord Randolph Churchill. 1t
denOunces him for refusing to speak at
Liverpool because borough members
Were diSplea>ed with his Irish policy.
and describes him as a much over
rated, impudent, Oyergrown school
boy. 1t says that he is only good
at insulting his superiorS, and that
his very ordinary talents are Landed by
an interested clique. The article con-
tinues " 1t is time to speak out. We

IN OREGON HORROR.
A Number of Prisoners Cremated Alive.

lBy telegraph to the Dispstch.l
PORTLAND. OREGON, July 90
The county Jail at Baker City, Oregon,
was burned Wednesday morning, and
five prisoners were cremated alive. a
sixth was severely Scorched. One of
the prisoners complained Of being
sick, and the jailer stepped across the
street TO drugstore to get medicine.
A moment later an alarm of fire was
given. The building was Of wood,
and the fire spread very rapidly.
The doors were broken open, but
the flames and smoke rove the
crowd repeatedly back. With great
difficulty Fred. Winkelman, a half
witted murderer of Allen Rivers, was
dragged from his cell inSensible and
badly burned. Five other prisoners in
the jail were abandoned to their fate.
The names of the victims are Louis
Miller, George Plumb, Samuel Brown,
William Lamb, and John Cooley, the
confessed murderers Of James Layery.
Every appearance indicates that the
Jail was set on fire by Winkelman, who
doubtless expected to make his escape
during the excitement.

The black Stone VA the Kanba.

In the Kaaba, the most ancient and
remarkable building Of the great
Mosque at Mecca, is preserved mirac-
ulous stone, with the print of Abra-
hams feet impressed upon it. 1t is
said, by Mohammedan tradition. to be
the identical stone which served the pa
triarch as a scaflold when he helped
Ishmael to rebuild the Kaaba, which
had been originally constructed
by Seth, and was sfterward de-
stroyed by the deluge. While
Abraham stood upon this stone it
rose and sank with him as he built the
walls of the sacred editice. The relic
is said to be fragment Of the same
gray Mecca stone Of which the whole
building is constructed, in this respect
differing from the famous black stone
brought TO Abraham and lshmael by
sbc angel Gabriel. and built into the
northeast corner Of the exterior wall Of
