death-as the constant flashes showed
and. SO, it was afterward learned,
was Moore. No void was spoken; in
deed talking. even II they were inclined
to talk, would have been difficult in
that situation. with the deafening
crashes OF thunder following each
other 80 constantly. To double the
danger, the heavy fall OF rain had
thoroughly saturated the balloon
which, OF course, increased its weight
and put them in danger OF being DASH
ed to the earth. Occasionally they
were obliged to open, by pulling down
the valve at the top, in order to let
down the water which had collected
there so heavily as to sag down the
balloons top. This, OF course, would
empty the water down through the
balloon and into the basket-not on
ly drenching the aeronauts, but near
ly strangling them with the gas it
brought down with it. In this way,
amidst a frightful tempest, and feeling
the imminent peril OF the light
ming, to say nothing OF the
gale, they were swept on their
trackless path through darkness
illuminated only by the constant
lightning flashes, Mt n terrible rate OF
speed and at height unknown, but
believed to be q mile above the earth.
Sometimes the balloon caught in con-
iiicting currents, would be whirled
around in q large circle; then it would
dash straight ahead. After what
seemed an eternity in this bowling
Phlegethon OF the Inferno transported
to a still blacker than snative realm
but above, instead of beneath, the
earth where mankind dwelt-a period
OF probably about forty minutes, DUR
ing which they both expected every
moment to be wrecked and lost--they
noticed by the barometer that they
were descending, and at tremendous
rate. One sandbag after another was
hastily thrown out, until all thor
ballast was expended, without mate.
rally diminishing the speed OF their
irightful descent. The weight OF the
water-soaked balloon still took them
down. They threw out everything
portable, even to a part OF their wa
ter-soaked clothing. Still they fell, to
use Captain Moore's own language,
almost as swift as the drops OF rain"
Suddenly. when they were at aheight
of only 500 feet, the earth came in
sight-a revelation through the open
ing of the storm. Instantly the an
Choir was thrown out. But it did not
catch, and they were carried along at
q tearing rate over fences, stonewalls
and bushes, sometimes striking the
ground, then bounding up forty or
fifty feet in the air. In this way they
went almost half mile, expecting
every moment to be annihilated. AS
soon as an opportunity occurred in
their bounding and knocking about
they pulled the ripcord, which instant
ly parted the balloon from top to bot
tom, letting them drop to the ground.
They were badly bruised and scratch
ed, but fortunately not seriously hurt.
The balloon was q total wreck. Prot.
Brooks says in all OF his ITO ascen-
sions be never has witnessed such
storm, and hopes never TO be III
such q one again.

A Republican convention for Brown

The Republican nominating conven-
ton for Brown county will be held at
the court house in this city next Satur-
day at one o'clock p. m. A full county
ticket will probably be nominated,
though at the present writing no candi-
dates for Auditor, Treasurer and Sheriff
have yet materialized. Mr.. A. F. Wal
ton has been talked of some for Auditor
but we do not know that gentleman's
wishes in the matter. We presume,
however, that he can have the nomina-
ton If he wants it. Horatio Werring
of Golden Gate is the only candidate
for Representative that has been mem
toned in connection with heRepublican
nomination. and he will probably be
the nominee. For Register Of Deeds,
Attorney and Judge of Probate the pre-
sent incumbents appears to have no ep-
position. Albert Blanchard seems to
have pretty clear field for renonina-
ton. though we have heard it stated
that Hans Mo Of. Sleepy Eye was casting
a longing eye towards Blanchard's seat
in the clerk of courts Office. For Su-
perintendant of schools Mr.. Velikanje,
the present incumbent, appears to be in
the lead. The other candidates for this
position are Mr.. B. Juni of New Ulm
and Mr.. Z. G. Davis of Sleepy Eye,
both good men, but as Mr.. Velikanje
has had the Office only one term, and
has given quite general satisfaction, he
will probably be renominated. In the
minor positions but little Importance
attaches $50 far as emoluments are con-
cerned) and the Offices generally seek
the man. Taking it as whole the
prospect is good for harmonious con-
Yention.

DIED-At the Union Hotel, New Ulm
Sunday, Sept. 10, 1886, at 6:45 o'clock
p. m., Joseph 6. Schneider, aged 20
years, months and days, after an ill
ness of only seven days.
Deceased was the oldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jos. Schneider, formerly of
this city, but now residing at Spring
field. He was in the employ of the editor
of the Revies0 for the last-.six years, and
has been foreman in the ReVieaO Office
for nearly three years. From the day
he first entered our employ until the
day he set the last line he was ever obe-
dent, industrious and painstaking, and
his many good qualitiesTendeared him
to all his associates. He was an honored
member Of Co. A, 2nd Regt. M. N. G.,
for over two years and held the position
Of corporal at the time of his death.
Although feeling unwen, he performed
some urgent work in the Office Sunday,
the 10Th inst, but the next day he took
to his bed which he never left alive.
His first ailment was lung fever, but
the second day of his illness typhoid fe.
yer set in and he grew rapidly worse.
Drs. Berry and Stricken were almost
constantly in attendance and everything
was done for him that medical skill
could suggest and loving and willing
hands perform, but all TO no avail. His
father and mother and Oldest sister and
brother were with him at the time Of
his death. In his demise his parents
have lost loving and dutiful son ; the
Reviea0 one of the best workmen ever
employed in the Office, and company A
an honored and respected member. The
bereaved have the heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community.

Jacob kelly and Michael Kavanaugh
came down from Sleepy Eye last Wed.
nesday, ostensibly to take look at the
fair, but had hardly struck town when
they commenced filling up with booze
and were soon "gloriously full''. They
staggered around in Regular cowboy
style and seemed to be aching for row.
During the afternoon they staggered
into the Union Hotel and in boisteroue
tones demanded dinner. It being long
after the dinner hour and the uncanny
condition of theme being noticed they
were politely requested to betake them
selves somewhere else. Marshall Win.
kelman was finally called in to prevent
a disturbance. Kavanaugh laid self
cooking revolver on the counter and
asked the bar keeper whether he wan
ted anything out of that. On being told
to put up his revolver and keep quiet,
Kavanaugh turned around and drew
the revolver on the marshall. The latter
struck the point of the weapon down
ward just as Kavanaugh pulled the
trigger. The ball just missed the mar
shall and entered the floor. Kelly then
attempted to take hand in.the melee.
but a Mr.. Schumacher came to the as
sistance ofs,the marshall and Kelly and
Kavanaugh were both arrested and
marched to the Jail. The next day they
were brought before justice Fischer and
Kavanaugh was fined $4,000 and costs,
and Kelly s1,o0 and costs. They paid
their fines and departed for home on the
first train. There are those who think
that justice Fischer would have beer
justified in imposing heavier fines ane
it does look a little that way to us.

the purpose of placing in nomination a
county ticket. For Auditor, Treasurer

encounter no opposition in the conven-

with the office Of Judge of Probate.
Andrew j. Domeier, we understand,
is an aspirant, for Supt. of schools and
he will probably be the nominee. We
understand that it is probable that no
nomination will be made for register of
