Murdered by an Insane Man.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 1S.-In a lonely spot near
Browns Canyor, on the line of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, q terrible murder was commit ed yes
terday. The victim was Pat Rush. a section boss, and
his murderer was Mike Carroll. Rush was working
with his men. ard Carroll, who had complained d of not
feeling well, had been left alone in the cabin.
The two men were warm friends, and Rush told his
men that he was going down to the cabin to see how
Carroll was. Not returning, as expected, one of them
followed, fearing something was wrong. Lying out
side the door he found Rush, dead. with every evidence
of a terrible struggle around him. The man was
frightened. and so'~ brought the whole gang to the
spot. Rush had be- beaten in a frightful manner,
AID one bullet wounG was found under his left ear.
Rushs body was taken to Salida, and an Intellectual
search made for Carroll. Later he walkedintoS alida,
and was at once placed under arrest. There is no
doubt about his insanity. The theory is that Carroll
did not recognize Rush. when he visited him, and mis-
took him for one cf his imaginary enemies. Rush
leaves wife and son at Salida.

The Story of Wandering Balloon.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Sent. 18.-The empty balloon
which descended at Monmouth ILL.,. yesterday
and created such a sensation, was one in which an
aeronaut named Williams was to make an ascent
from the fair grounds here, accompanied by a newly
married couple. A strong wind was blowing during
ure, a rent was discovered in the bag, through which
the gas was escaping. The bridal party objected to
taking passage in an unsafe balloon, and Prof. Will
Jams essayed to make the ascent alone. However. it
was found that the escape Of gas had been 80 great
that the basket was detached. The balloon would not
go up with the Professor, and descended about twenty
yards from the starting point. At this moment a man
named Geo. Pfenning. who has made several ascents,
came up and exchanged places with the Professor
The balloon slowly rose and drifted off to the north,
but came down about twelve miles above the city, and
Pfepning ~aiighted. The balloon. freed from hi.
weight, again arose, and in doing so a portion Of
Pfenning's shirt, caught by the anchor, was torn off
and this created the impression that he had beer
