Perilous Position OF AN Brouaut nj
AT the omaha Fairtirouuds.


OMAHA, NEB., September PRO
fessor Oscar Hunt, an seronaut, was en-
gagged by the managers of the Omaha
Fair to give aseensions during this week.
Atnoon to-day, when on the eve of going
up. and while sitting on his trapeze,
one of the stay-ropes was prema-
turely'cut. The big air.ship swayed
around in such way as to break
the other rope and throw the bal
loon out Of its course. Efforts Of the
aeronaut to regain control were fruit
less and the balloon went bounding up.
ward, striking first one building, then
snother. The people below stood with
bated breath. when the flagstaff on the
cupola struck the Professor on the back
of the head, rendering him insensible,
so that he fell from the trapeze. His
body shot downward through the air,
and twenty feet below stuck the cor
nice Of the cupola, projection less than
a foot wide. He struck so that his
body fell upon the ledge, and was held
by sprig Of iron which pierced his
clothing.
Relief was sought at once, but some
minutes elapsed before the unfortunate
man could be released from his peril
GUS mid-air position and landed safely
upon the ground. In the course of
time he regained consciousness. The
balloon arose high, iloated around for
awhile, and then landed in the city
about two miles from where it broke
away.

THE SHAKE OF 1912.
Tho Effects OF IL kiiII Visible Near
Nashville.

1t may be OF interest to the reading
public at this particular time to recall
the effect of the earthquake Of 1872,
felt in Davidson county. 1t was quite
a severe shake, but the only effect now
TO be seen in the county is on Mill
creek, near Morgan's mill. A strip Of
land containing about forty acres was
sunk to depth Of twelve or fifteen feet
below the surface. This ground is in cul-
tiyation, and is one of the richest spots
in the county. Another feature of in.
terest about this spot is that it is about
the lowest geological point in the State.
AS an evidence Of this the highest
stratum of rock in the place shows it.
self in the bed of the Cumberland river
about twenty feet below low-water
mark. When the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Science
met in Nashville, the Association visit
ed this piece Of ground in body and
made critical examination of its sur
roundings.
AS a result Of the shock of 1912 we
now have the famous Reelfoot Lake in
0bion county, West Tennessee. Instan-
taneous with the shock hundreds Of acres
of land dropped out of sight, thus form
ing one of the most wonderful lakes
in the world. Some Of the trees re-
NAMED in their natural positions, but
their tops are now under water. Ten
nessee was sparsely settled in those
days, and little is known Of the true
history Of this lake. In the fall Of 1861
an earthquake passed over the country,
and, although a more decided shake than
this one, did no material damage. 1t
occurred about sunrise, and was so Sc
we're that it threw people down and
cracked a great many buildings, some
few falling. TWAS uniform all over the
Union in its severity.

large numbers Of colorsd persons were
applying for passes which they used 70
make excursions to the country. II
was also found that . number Of peo-
ple-not large number, 1t IL true
who could afford to pay were using free
passes. Free transportation will be
given hereafter to those women and
children only who have no home or
shelter here.
SOME OF THE DAMAGE DONE.
When the Circular church, in Meeting
street, was destroyed in the great fire OF
1861 number Of monuments aud head
stones in the church-yard, some Of them
dating back to colonial times, were
shattered. One OF the marble columns,
which stood on the south side of the
church within few steps Of the street,
survived the fierce flames. The intensity
Of the heat, however, caused the north
face of the shaft to warp out until the
marble slab was bent like bow. Since
that time it has been regarded as great
curiosity by thousands Of people.
During the earthquake it was completely
demolished.
The Sailors Homo in Charleston is a
complete wreck, and will have to be re-
built from its foundations. The matron
barely escaped with her life. The
chaplain, Rev. C. 4. Chichester, and
his wife were providentially out of the
city, or they would probably have been
fatally injured. The Mariners church
is so seriously injured that it cannot be
used, and may have to be rebuilt.
1t will require at least $751;
600 to replace these buildings.
An appeal is made to seafaring men
everywhere. The work among sesmen
goes on, and services will be held on the
wharves and on shipboard. Contribu-
tons can be sent to Rev. @. E. Chiches-
ter, sesmen's chaplain, Charleston. Re-
ports of great distress in the colored
yillsges on the line of the South Caro-
lima railroad are reaching this city.
There will be speedy action, and what
relief is needed will be given out Of the
Charleston fund.

Worthy OF Praise.
IPbiladeIphIa North America

lPhlladeIphla Nortn Americana
A dispatch from Richmond, Va,
states that the people Of that city are
very indignant because the Council has
refused to vote an appropriation OF
IS. goo for the benefit Of the Charleston
sufferers. Their indignation is natural,
and, TO a certain extent, it does them
credit, but il illustrates mistake which
kind-hearted people are very apt to
make at such times as this. As soon
as o disaster like that at Charles
ton occurs they call upon the
National or the State or the city
Government to make a distribution Of
public property for the relief Of the
distressed. OF course there is no war
rant for that. Works Of charity arc
not within the province Of republican
Government. They should be left TO
private munificence. No Government
in this country, whatever its character,
has the right to spend public moneys
for any other purpose than the maints-
nance of the public service, and the
Richmond Council, so far from being
censurable, seems to US worthy Of
praise.

Serious Trouble In Syria.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, September s.
The population Of Syria is almost in a
state of instruction because Of the
active efforts Of Turkey to force Syrian
recruits into the Turkish army. The
Syrian reserves have been called out,
and general CONSUMPTION is being en-
forced. Several thousand recruits have
been sent to Damascus. The people
generally are much excited. Trade is
stagnant. Most of the people are very
poor. and the recruits who are sent
away from their homes, as rule, leave
their wives and families destitute.

All HeDe or Compromiss Abaooe"s
Fight Over Parnsil's Bill
fBy Aneio-Americau cable TO the Dispaten.l
LONDON, September 8.-Since the
interview between Lord Harrington ana
Lord Salisbury all hope Of compronls,s,
between the Government and Psrne.i
has been abandoned. Lord Randolph
Churchill is disposed to bargain win
Parnell on the basis of Government
support Of the single clause Of Psrneiis
bill relating to the suspension OF evic-
ton. The majority Of the Cabinet are
opposed to any Irish legislation until
next year.
Lord Harrington insisted that there
should be no tampering with the Par
nell bill, and promised Lord Salisbury
the vote Of the Unionists il the Gov
eminent absolutely opposed the bill.
The Chamberlain section will not
vote on the bill. Mr. Chamberlain,
who has gone to the country, says he
will take no part in the debate. lie
adheres to his determination to do no.
thing to embarrass the Government in
dealing with Ireland.
Lord Randolph Churchill will offer
Parnell facilities for q second reading
Of his bill on the 18th instant on con-
dition that the Parnellites offer no OBJ
struction prior to the passing OF the
whole Of the estimates. The Parnell-
ties, acting to retain control of the
Government, insist upon the considers-
ton of Parnell's bill before the esti-
mates. The probable issue will be that
Parnell will accept Lord Randolph's
offer, knowing that the defeat Of his
bill is certain. Parnell has sent draft
Of his measure to Gladstone. The first
clause provides that lease-holders may
apply to the Court to fix the judicial
rent second, that tenants whose rents
were fixed year ago may apply to the
Court for retaliation and, third, that
the Court, pending decision on appli.
cations, may suspend an ejectment on
the payment Of such a proportion Of the
rent as the Court may decide to be pro-
Der.

A Fatal Burning Accident.
(By telegraph TO the Dispatch.l

PITTSBURGH, September S.-The
residence Of L. L. Matthews, check
master at the Imperial coal-mines at
Montour, Pa, was burned last eve-
ming, and his wife and two-year-old
child fatally injured. The fire origi.
mated, it is supposed, by Mrs. Matthews
attempting to start fire by the use OF
carbon oil. A loud explosion was heard.
when the neighbors arrived the struc-
ture was in flames, and the screams OF
the woman inside could be heard. She,
with her child, was gotten out, but
they were horribly burned, their clothes
being almost consumed. Medical aid
was summoned and all possible done
for her, but without avail.

ANII.sALOON REPUBLICANS.
They Aseribo all Political Corruption
TO the Iiquor-Traiiic and De-
mand Prohibition,


a Binghamton special of the 7th
says: The Anti Saloon Republican
Convention. which met here to-day,
chose the Rev. George ii. Ball, of Buff
falo, to be permanent president, and
elected delegates to the Convention to
be held in Chicago.
General Conway, Of Brooklyn, was
chairman Of the Committee on Resolu-
tions. He read a report from his COM
mittee, which was adopted. The reso-
lutions set forth that the saloon in
politics is the chief cause Of corruption,
and that therefore the State shall abolish
the sale of liquors as a beverage. The
politics Of the new party is thus de-
claIed:
"Psst history has proved that the
only efficient sources Of political power
are the two great established parties,
and there is no case on record where
any reform has been accomplished by
separate party organized for that pur-
pose except as it combined with others;
we therefore demand of the Republican
party, to which we are proud to ac-
knowledge allegiance, that it shall take
q firm and decided stand in favor OF
temperance and against the saloon, and
that when in power it shall adop. and
enforce measures for the restriction and
at the earliest possible moment for the
prohibition Of the liquor traffic"
The resolutions also declare that the
best method of dealing with the liquor
traffic is to let the people decide the
question whether it shall be permitted
by voting on a constitutional amend
ment.
