DEATH OF CASPER STUMP.-Caspef
stump, one Of the most prominent
citizens Of the county, who was born
near Darksville in 1916, died at ms
home in Gerardstown on Monday
morning, June oath, 1889, at 8 O'clock
at the advanced age of 10 years. His
death was caused by dropsy, from
which he had been sufferer for many
months. His aged widow survives
him, and he leaves besides, two chill
fdren. Rev. j. p. Stump, of the Nj. +.
Church, South. of Moorefield aud Mrs.
III. Virginia Bowers. and number OF
grandchildren prominent among
whom is Mr.. Geo. NJ. Bowers
Mr.. Stump was well known to the
citizens of this county, having been
Deputy-Sheriff both before and since
the war, and filled a number of other
positions of public trust. He was uni
versally recognized as an honest, up
right man, an excellent citizen, and in
his long life perhaps no man, in this
section. has been kinder. more gener-
GUS and liberal to the helpless and
needy. In fact, he had one of those
peculiar natures that it was almost
impossible for him to resist an appeal
made for any charitable or benevolent
purpose. His life and acts gave him
a strong hold upon the people of his
section, and no man within the last
forty odd years has exercised great
er influence there than Mr.. Stump.
The affection in in which he was held
by the people was manifested by the
large gathering at the funeral. The
services were held at the NJ. E.
Church, South, of Gerardstown, to
which he was strongly attached, con-
Quoted by Rev. Jones, assisted by Rev.
E. l.. Wilson, and although the wealth
er was very inclement, the church
was far too small to accommodate the
large number who sought admittance.
Friends were present from Martins
burg, Smithfield, Charlestown and
other points at no inconsiderable dis
lance from his late home. His re-
mains were inferred in the Presbyter-
ian cemetery at Gerardstown on
Observation-Disclosures.

The answer of the Baltimore and
Ohio Employees Relief Association to
the bill of complaint of Isaac S. Con-
ley, who recently applied for the ap-
pointInent of receiver of the associa-
ton, has been filed. The answer adj
mits that Isaac Conley contributed
1924 to the relief features of the asso-
citation, and has received a benefit of
S33. In March, 1889, the members of
the relief feature numbered 20,626;
claims for large amounts are outstand-
ing and many suits are pending. The
assets of the relief features over liabil.
titles approximately stated amounted
on March 81, 1889, to S97, l45.4S. If
the assets of the association had been
distributed on that date the share of
no member would have exceeded $40.
The answer states that 1924 men,
bers of the association have joined the
relief department of the road and
transferred their interests to it, not
more than 50members having refused
to do so.

questions relating to the workings of

advisability of carrying out the con-

separate school districts, the question Of
the pay Of teachers, the text books,
school buildings and such questions.

DOWN FROM A BALLOON.
The Fearful Fall Of Prof. Perry Near
Charlotte.

Especial to the News and Courier.
CHARLOTTE, August 9.-fhere was
an exciting scene at the Mount Holly
Fair Grounds this afternoon. Prof. w.
K. Perry, the celebrated aeronaut of
the American Balloon Company, was
to make his marvellous leap to earth
after ascending to the height Of three
quarters mile, descending by aid Of 4
parachute. At o'clock, everything
being in readiness the feat was attempt
ed in the presence Of fifteen hundred
people.
The crowd with bated breath watched
the man rising in the air. When the
balloon had travelled upwards about
seven hundred feet, the crowd discoy-
cred that it was bursting. Gas could be
seen shooting out and soon the canvass
began TO drop. AS Prof. Perry was
holding on under the parachute be was
not aware OF his terrible situation. The
crowd became>frantic with excitement.
Yells went up and pistols were fired to
attract his attention, but to no purpose.
Soon, however, all the gas in the
balloon was exhausted, and twitching,
fall downward. 1t was too late
to loosen the parachute from the
wrecked balloon, but for some distance
it was successfully engineered. Finally
the balloon causing the parachute to
capsiZe, all came down with u terrible
crash to the earth.
The crowd rushed around the unfor-
tunate man and every attention WAS
given him, but for twenty minutes he
did not move or show signs of life. The
fall is variously estimated at from 100
to 400 feet.
Prof. Perry was brought here to-
night and is being treated by the best
medical skill in the city. Many of his
bones are broken. He weighs $50
pounds.
At II p. m. the chances for Prof.
Perry's. recovery are not good, and
physicians think it hardly probable
that he will recover.
THE AERONAUT WILL RECOVER.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., August l0.-Prof.
w. K. Perry, the aeronaut, who ex-
perienced such terrible fall FROM his
balloon yesterday at Mount Holly, as
was telegraphed last night, has rested
we'll to-day and, as strange as it may
seem, his physicians now pronounce
him on the road to recovery. Your
correspondent called on the aeronaut
tonight and found him in rather a
cheerful mood. His rib bone is broken
and he is otherwise injured internally,
but unless some unknown symptoms
develop he will very likely recover.
PROF. PERRY HAS A CHANGE FOR
THE WORSE.
CHARLOTTE, August 12.-Prof.
Perry, the aeronaut, who experienced
so terrible fall near here last Friday,
suddenly took change for the worse
to-day. Besides other unfavorable
symptoms, pneumonia has developed
and it is hardly possible that he can
recover. His physicians now pronounce
his case All extremely doubtful one
Prof. Perry's wife, who is at Birming
ham, was telegraphed for to-day and
the worst is feared at any moment.

Summer Excursion Tickets.
observer. Sth Instant

Editor Observer: Will you kindly
allow us space in your columns to cor
rect erroneous statements made by the
Herald and News of July 25th, under
the headline "Referred to the Railroad"
This editorial says that "severai per-
sons" have tried to buy summer eXcur-
sion tickets but no such tickets have
yet been offered or put on sale at New
berry"
Will the Herald and News name the
'several parties'':: We cannot recall
even one who has been refused such
tickets.
The factis, the tickets in question
have been On sale, and quite num-
Der have been sold to Newberry citi-
zens; not only to SparGanburg,, but to
all principal summer resorts.
The Herald and News says further,
that "the fare to Spartanburg is $3.50
for the round trip" Erroneous again
The fare is only S4.55 for round trip,
and good to return at any time before
3lst October.
In justice to the ticket agent, rail-
road company and the public, we
think the Herald and News man
should have been less hasty, and ap-
piled to us and gotten his information
from official authority.
To the public we Will state, that We
have a idll stock of tickets to all sum-
mer resorts and will be pleased to ac-
commodate them with through tickets.
Newberry has equal advantages in this
respect enjoyed by any town in Caro-
