DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

THAT THOUSAND DOLLARS CAN'T BE USED
In the District appropriation bill for last year
there YRS an item of $1,000 for the improve
ment of Howard avenue, Mount Pleasant This
money, however, was never applied as the road
for which 1t was intended did not need any i'm
provement, and the appropriation was evil
IDENTITY made by mistake. 1t was thought that
the appropriation would lapse, but another
question arose with the passage of the new APP
preparation bill which made the application of
this money probable II was the provision
made for the improvement of 18th street ex-
tended. In the improvement of 18th street it
was thought probable that some work would be
necessary at the intersection of Howard ave-
nue. and 18th street, and a contract was accord
ingly made for Howard avenue. with the pro-
vision. however. that if the controller objected
to it the contract was to be void. The con-
troller has decided. holding that the contract
is void in view of the fact that an apprupria-
ton must be used during the fiscal year for
which it was intended.

Tho Independents Capture the South
Carolina Convention.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 13.-The democratic
state convention met at noon today and was
called to order by James A. Hoyt, chairman Of
ths state democratic executive committee.
The convention is called for the sole purpose
of determining whether the nominating con-
yention shall be chosen by primary elections or
by the county conventions.
There are 800 delegates present--261 of whom
are Tillmanites and SO straightouts, democrats
or anti illmanites. Notwithstanding the fact
that the convention was called for q
special purpose, the adherents Of Till
man, finding themselves with such
overwhelming majority, seriously contemplate
the nomination of their candidate and full
state ticket. After calling the convention to
order Chairman Hoyt named G. L. Buist, q
straightout, for temporary chairman of the
convention.
A Tillmanite delegate thereupon nominated
W. J. Talbert, q leading alliance man of Edge
field county, as temporary chairman. Chair
man Hoyt claimed that, as the convention was
not organized. he had no power to entertain any
this announcement, the Tillmanites insisting
upon their right to nominate temporary
chairman and the straightouts protesting
against such action.
Pandemonium relgned for fully half an hour
up in a row before it could be organized.
Finally Chairman Hoyt decided to entertain
the motion and amid great confusion and the
wild protests Of the straightouts Talbert was
declared elected temporary chairman.
Temporary secretaries were then elected in
the same manner and the roll call of delegates
WAS proceeded with.

a row Oh the hotel verauda and gazed at the
rolling deep for fully five minutes before a word
was spoken. Then the old man turned to his
wife and said:

High Flying.
From the New York ledger.


The most remarkable balloon ascension on
record was made in 1894 by Blot and Cav

dowed science with series OF new and i'm
portant facts, questionable before that time.

set of suitable apparatus and. moreover. an un-

pertinent They assembled to a height OF IL 600

Three weeks later Gay Lussac went up alone

and, after an aerial voyage OF six hours, de-
scended near Rouen, 100 miles distant
The result OF this ascension on Cav Iussac's
health was very injurious, particularly by want
OF AIR for respiration, combined with the sud-
den cold, but chiefly by the absence Of the
accustomed pressure. At the extreme height
Of $4,000 feet his face and neck were swollen
enormously, his eyes protruded from his head,
blood ran from his lungs by vomiting; in short
his system received a shock from which he
never fully recovered during the rest of his life.
