A Fatality Attending /. Balloon Ascension.


OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. GA balloon
ascension and parachute drop were ad-
vertised at the exhibition grounds yes
terday. Among the volunteers to hold
down the balloon was Tom Winsley. a
young butcher. who, with others,
grasped u stout rope running around
the base of the balloon When the or
der TO let go was giyen all released
their hold with the exception of Wins
ley, who, retaining his hold was borne
swiftly upwards. The ereonaut was
unable to help him. Winsley was
called upon to let go, but still chung to
the ropes. The balloon had now gone
one thousand feet upwards and the
spectators stood paralyZed with fear.
Winsley finally let go with one hand,
but chung to the rope with the other.
1t was only for a moment, however,
that he supported himself with his one
hand, then that was released and down
he came like a rocket, executing a Sc
ries Of somersaults in the air as he fell.
He struck in a field, one hundred rect
from the grounds and. with the excep-
ti0n Of his face was terribly crushed
The balloon collapsed a few minutes
later and the Rreonaut descended in
in safety with bis parachute.

Hsbrsw CONGREGATION Shocked.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Sept. 81
There is much excitement in jewish
circles in Oakland over the action of
Rabbi Levi, who last Saturday per-
formed the rite OF circumcision public
ly in the synagogue. IL seems that ac-
cordiDg Ia Jewish sacred law it adds to
the solemnity of the rite to perform it
before congregation, but of late years
this practice has fallen into diSuse.
The rabbi, however, decided to revive
it, and last Saturday, when an unusu-
ally large congregation was present,
circumcised an 8-day' old infant. Many
of the congregation were shocked, and
of these numbers are now trying to Sc
cure the rabbits deposition. The rabbi

Trouble Over a Camp Of Refuge.

jackson, Miss, Sept. 27.-The great
est Indignation prevails throughout the
city on account of the treatment re-
ceived by DIR. Todd, health officer, and
DIR. Hunter, member OF the board of
health, by the self-constituted quaran-
tine at Livingston crossing. The gen.
tlemen named started Tuesday even
ing to go four miles into the country to
negotiate for the rent of piece of land
on which to establish a camp of refuge.
They were met by State Auditor Stone
and State Treasurer Hemingway, in
charge of an armed posse, who refused
most positively to allow them to pro-
coed. Such actions are unwarranted.
and appear much worse when prompted
by those holding high official positions.
The medical gentlemen returned to the
city. A meeting was held by the
Livingston crossing men and one OF
them, prominently spoken of as a can
didate for gubernatOrial honors, adj
dressed the meeting and advised re-
sistance ut the muZzle OF the shotgun
to the establishment of camp OF
refuge. As consequence of the
meeting the engine that we have here
to meet trains at our quarantine sta
ton above the city, and which left
here at 1920 in the morning in charge
of Engineer Redmond, was tagged
when it went out and when Redmond
stepped from his cab he was confronted
by twelve armed men with presented
guns. They demanded who he was
When told they informed the railroad
men that they could not pass and il
they attempted it they would
kill them, and further, if the
engine passed they would burr
the bridge behind them. Three rapiC
shots were then fired to summon the
entire crowd and in five minutes

Waite SAID; II do" and added. ''B,
God, you all cannot pass here" The
party drew back and leveled their gum
on the engine. Mr.. A. G.. Jones, WIN
showed more good sense than tn,
others, said: LET the train go by, al
it is after supplies His advice pre-
vailed and the crew all went down Il
the engine except engineer Redmond
The latter was then informed
morrow the bridge would be burneC
and everyone on board would be killed
Mr.. Redmond replied that he wa

road company and had to obey orders
He continued: II have to come witt

THE ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE.
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 27.-From
various letters and kilograms received
by the governor on the subject, 1t APP
pears that the trouble at Rio Grande
City has been brewing for a long time.
Sheriff Shelby some time ago, in the
course of his official duty, came in con-
fiict with the MeXicans, who comprise
large portion of the population. The
opposition to Shelby in the race for the
ONCE OF sheriff, worked on the race pre-

by the revolutionary element on the
other side of the river, anxious for
trouble. or was, and ready for an upriS-
ing at any time. Editor Cara, who
prints a paper at Carpus Christi, tool
sides against Shelby and when the lat

For this Deputy Sebree had Cara in

these two resulted in threats, anC

the meantime, took possession of tn
streets in the town. Colonel Clenden

cans with 1876 armed men. With tn
Mexican crowd are two American
who are said to have been working then
up to the fighting point in order to rul
the Shelby party out OF the county
One of the men, IL is presumed, ha
telegraphed the governor that tn
town is quiet and in no need of rang
