 Parachute.
 WAvERI;1, N. J., June 16.-Fally 2000 he, women and children visited thosFair Groun, yesterday afternoon to see 8. c, Young, tn aeronaut, drop from 8 balloon at an altitud of 5000 feet. The balloon was inflated witl hot air, 8 fire being placed under @ funnel by which the heat was conveyed to a canva bag. Tho balloon when filled, was 150 feet ir diameter, and 1t required the united efforts O fifty stalwart men to keep 1t in position.
 While every eye was turned toward the bal loon, the parachute, which had again com into view, was seen t0 separate from the bal loon and descend with frightfui velocity fo 300 feet or more. Then, of it's own accord the parachute yielded to the air currents be heath and gradually opened, until at length swung to and fro In tho afr, in a semt-circle apparently slowly descending.
 Attached to the balloon was @ canvas bag 30 feet long, with an ordinary coal basket fas tened to the end. At about 4 30, when tn balloon began to fill, Aeronaut Young, slightly built but determined looking man O 25, placed one leg inside of the basket an' cried Let go." Straight up.shot the big can vas until it was almost hidden by Q dense cloud. But suddenly the air-ship was seen t stop in its onward course, and, amid the erie of the onlookers, 1t began to fall.
 An hour later Aernaut Young was dis covered in a tree, two miles and a half fror Waverly, busily engaged in separating tn ropes of the parachute from the limbs. H had descended in safety, without a scratch O mark as result of his hazardous adven ture.

Bad Bold Burglnrs.

ArTLEBoRo, Mass, June 16.--A'daring bur- glary was committed atthe refinery of Barber X Burlingnme last night. Isaac Lord, the night watchman, says that his dog began to bark about half past eleven. On going to the door of the office, Lord was confronted by a man who grabbed him and held revolver, or what Lord thought was one, at his head. With the help of q second man Lord was bound and laid in front of the counter. The two men. who were masked, went to work on the safe, and worked until twenty minutes of two. Then they laid Lord on the lounge and left. He got looseat five o'clock and notified Sheriff Capron.
 The office presented a rough appearance this morning. The floor was filtered with books and papers. The tools were taken from Uhlig's blacksmith shop near by, which had been forced open. MT. Burlingame, who lives in Providence, arrived at 2 80 and says there is a large loss. All the valuables were taken, chiefly gold and silver.

Had Reason to Be Annous.

IN an excursion party on which somc half dozen couples recently arrived in the city there was one pair in which tho woman was about twenty-five and the young man about eighteen. This couple procured a license and were married. Some time before the train was to leave the bride walked into the waiting room of the depot alone. She was asked = "Well, are you marriedS" "Yes," she replied; "but I wish I wasn't" "Is it a runaway" was asked of her. Mot so far as I am con- cerned," she said, "for I'm old enough, but his mother may raise objection. I ain't think ing about myself, but wouldn't1be surprised il his mother whipped him. I wish hadn't married him. We'll have to face the music but don't know how it will come out. It is too late now, however, and VIC must take the consequences" 'You ought to be ashamed of marrying that chit of Q boy. He isn't eigh- teen yet" remarked bystander. "well, am," she answered, but it is too late now. He is nineteen, and I'll have to make the best oi it." Subsequently the boy husband joined her, and each wore a look of anxiety as they took their seats in the Washington Star.

Two Boys Lost in the Sound.

The year-old son of John Robinson of Port Jefferson, accompanied by another boy of the same age, took boat yesterday afternoon and began padding about in it near the shore. They gradually drifted away from land, and when they noticed their danger they were unable to bring the boat toward the shore. The wind was blowing off shore, and as the tide was against them they were carried out into the sound. A steamer went after them, but they have not yet been found, and it is feared that the boat was swamped and the boys drowned.

FOHvFtJE-PRESlDENT.

The significant point shown. by this canvas is that while a majority of tho delegates de- clare that, Bhain0 out, Depew Is their first choice, they explained that in the event oi the latter also dropI ing out of the race, their next preference ls John Sherman. Indeed the chances of Dcrcws retirement being more than oven, the Ne4v York and Kings County delegates may be 1et down as largely Sher- manitcs.
 Aside from thfs skirmish line of B.shae forces, put out without the sanction offenders. there is strong evidence that the faction has resolved to stand together in tho convention ns q unit. Ex-Senst pr Platt, Stephen B. Ei- kins, Charles Emory Smith and Chauncey Depew are at the head of this movement. They will como hers tomorrow practically decided to be together, above all things, though they nre apart Ut president in their Presidential preferences after Mir. Blaine. Mir. Elkins, according to my information, is still for Blaine, though not inclined to press hirl on the convention. Next to Blaine ic would prefer Harrison, ard will throw whatever strength he can there Mir. Depew, on tl.. other hand, inclines Alger as his third choc.. MT. Blaine and his own boom occupying the first two places ha<Afs affections. Senator Platt stands between Depow and Elkins. He talks savorlbly of Alger and Harrison, hut so far be learned he docs not seem to have yet made up his mind to fill into line for either. . S
 When he decides after looking over tho situ- ntion here an agreement between the three will probably be reached, and they will begin some lively missionary work in behalf of ;.ir new found candidate. The effect of such a combination would bc almost impossible to | offset. Its probable influence can b. mr.,sur- 1 ed hy the chaotic condition of cverythin. here tonight.
