correspondence Hartford times.

Correspondence Hartford times.
One OF the Winsted people-and not
the least notable one, perhaps-is
Captain A. E. Moore, an enthusiast in
ballooning. Captain Moore never
made more dangerous journey than
that OF which now tell you. He was
with the veteran Prof. S. NJ. Brooks,
who has made more ascensions than
any other aeronaut, and the time ad-
vertised to start was 1 o'clock p. m,
but, owing to the appearance OF q Sc
we're thunderstorm coming up from
the west, they decided to go earlier, in
order to keep ahead OF the shower.
But, unfortunately for the voyagers,
tneir calculations for keeping ahead
of the storm failed. Within fifteen
minutes they found themselves %
mile above the earth, IN the midst
OF thick clouds and terrific
hurricane. The account OF their ex-
perience is certainly thrilling. After
entering the cloud they could not see
ten feet in any direction. The rain was
pouring in torrents, the wind blowing
gale, and constant flashes OF light.
ming all about them, were accompan'
led by tremendous crashes OF close.at-
hand thunder. The binding flash close
by them was all one with the crash
no interval between the flash and its
report. They were in the home and
path OF the lightning itself. AT times
the balloon and car with its occu-
pants were whirled around like top;
then, suddenly the monster air vessel
would be blown over on its side,
throwing its passengers on to the low
err side of the car, where the network
covering alone kept them from being
dashed to the invisible earth a mile
below. In a moment more the weight
of the car and its occupants would
drop it suddenly down the length OF
the ropes with force that seemed as
il they must break and let them iall
to the ground. Even the
veteran cloud voyager, Brooks,

Rabbits Foot.

Rabbits Foot Oil is rapidly coming
to the front as linimept and cure for
the many aches and pains to which
man is heir. 1t is proprietary medi-
cine, it is true, but it is wonderful
medicine for the cures it is intended TO
make. 1t is not a jumped-up cure-all
to run an ephemeral course, but is a
scientific combination of the best
medicines used in liniments, and so
blended together that no other medi-
cine has ever equaled it in the happy
effects it produces. w. ii. Patterson
4 Co. are its manufacturers, and it has
to be tried but once to satisfy one of
its true merits. Mr. Patterson took
the blue ribbon upon his Rabbits
Foot Oil and his display also quite
an honor achieved and worthy his
wonderful medicine. If

Silver Mines.

Several gentlemen of this city are
interested in silver mine near Mon
terey, and have contemplated taking a
trip int that land that lures men
from legitimate channels of business
and sometimes swamps them; but of
course these gentlemen see millions in
it, just like all the rest of the "boys"
that have been there and come back
most Of them without the millions.
One of the parties informed HER
AID man yesterday that they were
waiting for Ex-Gov. Brown to return
to the city before they started out on
their trip. Gov. Brown is now in the
city. and the probabilities are that
preparations for an immediate start
will be made. The HERALD wishes
them fabulous wealth aud a safe re-
turn that is, if they go.

Dallas and Fort Worth.

A gentleman yesterday remarked TO
your reporter that Dallas was grow
ing. The remark did not startle the
scribe. He knew that; every child
knows that. Even the people over at
Fort Worth know that; but the gentle
man was serious. He said he had not
been in the city for four years, and the
change from that time to the present
was simply marvellous He could not
realize that il was the same town he
visited four years ago. "Why," he re-
marked, 1.-THE great towering stone
and brick blocks everywhere you look
fairly startle ire. 1t reminds me Of
Kansas City several years ago.
Your people must have
come from that pushing town.
1 have just come from Fort Worth.
That town has grown also; but there
is great difference, it seems to me, in
the character Of the growth. The
buildings in Dallas are more substan-
tisl, and the people seem to have come
to stay; while it seemed to me there
was a restless desire on the part Of
some people l met in Fort Worth to
make their pile and get out of the
town. Dallas isgrowing; Dallas must
become the great town of the State, as
far as see, and have been around a
good deal in my time"
The gentleman who thus relieved
his mind is man of much intelligence
and extensive travelling acquaintance

The eclipse OF the sun, which occur
red August 20, was observed i'll Gren-
ada. where it could be seen to best add
vantage, by Prof. Pickering and assist
ants of the Harvard astronomical
observatory. In private letter re-
ceived in Boston from Prof. Pickering
the following account OF the event is
given: "The eclipse passed off success
fully, and we lost only forty.tive
seconds out of the 226 through clouds.
| had eighteen assistants selected from
the islanders, and they all did very
well. think my results will be very
satisfactory. We observed the eclipse
from the tort, and had policemen to
keep off the crowd, which numbered
about 300. 1t was, of course, very
oppressive, and a boy up there had a
fit, and a dog tried to cast self
over the parapet, perhaps thirty to
sixty feet, and had to be restrained.
People in the outskirts OF the town
were frightened and ran and hid under
their huts. Others fell on their knees
and howled, and altogether had quite
a time. There had been numerous
superstitions ailoat befor' the eclipse,
such as that a portion o. the island
was to disappear"
