A Desperate Adventure.

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-A Worlds
cable from London says Baldwin bid fare
well to the British public this afternoon.
without breaking his neck. In the pres
ence of 10000 people his balloon
darted up with immense velocity. After
a lapse of about a minute it was a mile
from earth, still it continued to go upward
for nearly a minute longer, until the ad-
venturer suspended from it appeared to
the naked eye but a tiny object. He
seemed to be disengaging some cords with
one leg. Then he suddenly dropped.
There was a moment of breathless sus-
pense. Baldwin was seen descending
earthward with the parachute tapping
above him, but, after falling rapidly a con
siderable distance, the huge umbrella
gradually expanded and the aeronaut
struck ground safely. An aerial bar
ometer, which he carried with him, had
registered a height of 9.100 feet. He was
nine minutes and fifteen seconds in des-
cending. Personally Baldwin has not
made much money by his p%erilous per.
formances. He will go to the south of
France next week under letter contract.
de will come back here in the spring.

Harrison's Last.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 22.-After ad
dressing the commercial travellers Satur-
day Gen. Harrison announced that he
would deliver no more speeches during
the campaign. The same evening a tele-
gram was received from Springfield, o.,
stating that the plug hat brigade desired
to be received to-day. They were in
formed that Gen. Harrison would proba-
bly, not address them, and they replied
that they would come anyhow, and 1000
arrived this afternoon and shortly after 4
o'clock they were received at Tomlinson's
hall by Gen, Harrison. Eachof the :, 1000
visitors wore white plug hats and as Gen.
Harrison entered the hall every man
jumped up and stood on his chair and
trantically waved a plug hat in one hand
and a flag in the other. About 1000
people were presented and the demonstra-
ton lasted several minutes. Gen. A. S.
Bushnell Of Springfield spoke briefly for
the Buckeyes and Gen. Harrison re-
sponded.
At the conclusion of Gen. Harrison s
speech, Gen. Bushnell presented him
with a highly polished horse shoe man
ufactured from American steel by S. B..
Thomas, a former subject OF England.
Repeated calls for Thomas brought that
gentleman out, and there was another
prolonged demonstration as Gen. Harri-
son cordially clasped his hand and said
Il accept with pleasure this product of
the skill and industry of one who out of
his own experience can speak of the bene-
fits America offers-better wages and
better hopes [cheersl and who in his lie
here has been able to contrast the condi-
ton of working people in England and
America" Cheers.
The visitors then shook hands with
Gen, Harrison. They returned home to-
night,

the Crime.

Fort RIPLEY, Mimi, Oct. 22.-Frank
Randall, a ~16-year-old boy, has been
arrested for numbering an inofensive Ger
man named 'Ziegler, who disappeared
several days ago. Randall's cousin, John
Sumner, confessed that he and Randall
were out hunting when the latter, who
had a grudge against Ziegler, went to the
bank of the river and called the German,
who was on the opposite side, to come
across as a man wanted to see him. When
Ziegler was half way across in a boat
Randall shot him with a rife, killing him
instantly. The body fell into the river.
Sumner kept quiet until yesterday, as he
claims that Randall threatened to kill him
if he told. Randall will not talk.

W1ll Sue for Damages.

DENVER, Oct. ga New York e
cial to the Denver Necs says: Gen T..
Martin Mcmahon, Gen. Roger A. Pryor
and Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll, counsel for
Mrs. james G. Blaine, Jr., are about to
begin a suit at the instance of their client
against her husbands parents, ex-Secre
tary james G. Blaine and Mrs. Blaine,
for damages in the sum Of 800, 900 for
alternating her husbands affections. Young
Mrs. Blaine does not sue for divorce, fol
she is a rigid Catholic and her ideas or
the subject of divorce are in accordance
with the well known rules OF the church.
Besides, those who have the authority to
speak for her say that she is still attached
to her husband, and above all things de-
sires a reconciliation.
She says that her husbands parents
have come between herself and him so
that he has deserted her, refused to ans
wer her letters and kilograms imploring
him to send her some token of his affec-
ton, and in a word, has cast her off. Mrs.
Blaine's resolution to bring suit vas ar
rived at after her return last Thursday
night from Augusta, to which place she
had gone with her mother to see her hus-
band, and where she had been denied the
privilege by her husband mother.

The VERDICT.
The Coroner's Inquiry Concern
ing the Mudrun Disaster.
Two Engineers Found Guilty
Of Gross Negligence.
Other Employees of the Railroad
Severely Censured.

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Oct. 22.-The
coroner's jury which has been invcstigat.
ing the recent disaster at Mud Run on
the Lehigh Valley road, returned a YER
dict to-day finding the engineers Of both
locomotives of the seventh section guilty
Of gross negligence in failing to see the
danger signal in time and for not APPROACH
ing the station with the train under con-
troll. as required by the rules. The engi-
neer of the second engine could have stop
ped the train had he applied the air
brake, and he is censured for not having
done so. A lookout man was on each en-
CINE in addition to the engineer and fire.
man, having been placed there especially
to watch for signals. These men are found
guilty of gross negligence. The lookout
on the first engine claims that he did not
see the red light.
The other man testified that he saw it
when about l 500 feet from the station
and yet reported all right to the engineer
and claims that he did not think a red
light meant anything as nobody used it.
These men are guilty of gross negligence,
as is also the rear brakeman of the sixth
section, for while he had ample time to
go back the last half mile with his red
light he went less than 400 feet. The
conductors of both trains failed in their
duty, the one In not conforming to the
rule requiring each conductor to see per-
sonally that his brakeman protects the
rear of his train, and the other in not re-
curing his train to approach the station
under control,

BeIIew Demands an Apology.

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-Kyrle Bellew,
Mrs. James Brown Potter's leading actor,
was told a week ago through the public
press that the directors of the Tuxedo
Park club objected to his further ~acquaint-
ance with the interior of the club house.
the cause being his alleged immoral char
acter. Pierre Lorillard is president of the
governing board of the Tuxedo club, and
to him Bellew now looks for satisfaction.
He has had addressed a letter to the New
York World, including a letter TO Loril-
lard, stating that for the gratuitous public
insult in the libelous statement he de-
mands an immediate apology. Unless
Lorillard apologies, Bellew says, he will
proceed against him in any way he sees
fit and force him to a public substantial
ton or refutation Of the charge.

The use of the water jet for sinking
piles, particularly in sand, is interesting.
A tube, generally of ordinary gas pipe,
open at the lower end, is fastened to tho
pile; the upper end is connected by a hose
to a powerful pump, and, the pile being
placed in position OBJ the surface of the
sand, water is forced through the tube
and ~ezcavates a passage for the pile,
which, by the application of very light
pressure, descends rapidly to the desired
depth. The stream of water must be
continuous, as it rises along the side of
the pile and keeps the sand in a mobile
state. Immediately upon the cessation
of pumping the sand settles about the
pile, and it is sometimes quite impossible
to afterward move it. The water jet is
used in sinking iron piles by conducting
the water through the interior of the hol-
low pile and out of a hole at its point.
The piles of the great iron pier at Coney
Island were sunk with great celebrity in
this way.-John Bogart in Scribner's
MAGAZINE.

Morton,s Salt Trust

DENVER, Oct. pa New York spe-
cial to the NeaoS says: Levi p. Morton,
Republican candidate for vice president,
is one of the prime movers in one of the
most gigantic %monopolies that has been
conceived of in these days of trusts.
Under the Republican national admins
trations Morton, Rose & Co., we're the
financial agents of the government in
Europe. Sir John Rose, Mr.. Morton's
partner, some days ago died in Scotland,
leaving the burden of responsibility upon
Mr.. Morton. A large folio prospectus
just issued that Morton, Rose
q Go. are authorize tv luvite applications
Tor the shares and debentuIes of the salt
union, limited, Incorporated under the
companies acts of 1S62-1SSS; capital,
$4,000, 900, in shares of fifty each. The
scheme includes the combination of all the
salt product OF Great Britain and other
countries into n gigantic corporation
which, according to the prospectus, will
pay the investors at least 20 per cent per
annum.
In the board of directors Rt. Hon.
Lord Ihurlow, 7. c., stands at the head
as chairman. The price of salt at the
mines has recently been quoted as low as
IS I'd. The company proposes to advance
the price at once to los. This means an
additional tax of rs cd upon the onsum
ers in all parts of the world above the
price established by honest competition.
The exports to the United States during
ten years ended in 1877, were 2,235, 567
tons. The tax the monopoly would lay
upon this quantity would be G838, 337, or
$4,000 900 per annum. Mr.. Morton's
success in placing the shares of this salt
monopoly is testified to by the fact that
they are already quoted at G5 los pre-
MUM on El0 shares.

Great emergencies call forth the great
soul. War in the twinkling of an eye
turns village drunkards and pettifogging
lawyers into generals and statesmen.
Love transforms Cyman from a brute into
a man. Necessity makes Shakespeare a
dramatist; accident reveals to Scott his
true powers. The most commonplace
men and women have passed through the
FOOLS paradise Of love, when they were di-
vine beings worshiping divinity, and in
that FOOLS paradise they for a brief mo-
ment found their true selves-saw deepinto
the soul of their consort. That fitting
dream was in truth an awakening, the
brief opening of the spiritual eye. When
the world of facts has passed away our
dreams may remain. The man of com
mon sense asks for realities; the poet
knows that only illusions are trIe.-Lip-

Gladstone Speech by Phonograph.

IldoSIOHe opeecn DV monograph.
New YORK, Oct 2l.-A World liable
from London says Gladstone will proba.
bly, never visit America, but there is every
probability that his voice will be heard
there in a few weeks. A photograph
prepared especially for the purpose, with
an enlarged receiver, will be placed near
HIM while making a speech at a great
Liberal meeting at Birmingham, though
in such a way as not to inconvenience
him. The wax roll, in which the sound
of his voice is stored, will be sent to New
York in charge of a special messenger.
Experience shows that phonograms sent
by mail are always ruined, no matter how
carefully packed. If the Gladstone phon-
ogram reaches New York in as fine a
condition as some brought here by mes
sergcrs, the grand old mans voice ought
to lie distinctly heard in a room capable
of holding 5000 people.

that as the lips move, no matter what
sentiments they uttcr, the jewels flash
with rare brilliancy. Verify arc ones
teeth becoming objects of value. A
fad" still later than jeweling them is~to
preserve the molars as they are drawn,
have them carefull.- polished and wear
them as single chairs or, if there be n
sufficient number have them set medal
lion shape and made into bracelets. The
wearing of human tooth is said to be
unequaled as carrier Of happiness and
insurer of personal safety.
This queer fancy may really be claimed
rs belonging to our century, as no record
is found Of it in the '1usty pages Of long
