dull and weak at the opening today, first prices
showing declines from last nights closing
figures from Is to Il cent, and in some cases
further losses were sustained, sugar refneries
leading with decline Of n per cent. A good
demand appeared. however, and with consid-
cradle increase in the amount of business done
there was a marked upward movement in the
entire list, though only few stocks at the top
figures showed material advances over
opening prices. Rock Island led with gain of

the gains in the rest Of the list being generally
slight. Later in the hour the feverishness and

Louisville and Nashville and Chicago gas were
most prominent in the downward movement,
while the gains in the general list were gener-
ally wiped out. Sugar was the feature, its net
decline from last nights price being nearly 2
per cent, while it changed hands in large
amounts. The market at II O'Clock was fairly

for that department., which the committee In
tends to make one of the features Of the

A letter was read by Chairman Bullock from

expense until after the meeting Of the national
commission. which is to be held in Chicago on
November Is, and which will then be fully pre-
pared to arrange and classify the necessary
appropriations.
The only application before the committee
arts exhibit was that Of Miss Sara Holloweil,
who presented quite large list Of recommen-
dations. After many complimentary words
had been spoken in favor OF Miss Hollo-
we'll q motion was adopted referring
the selection Of the manager Of the fine arts
department to q committee composed Of Chair
man Bullock and Messrs. Ellsworth and Wilson,
who will report to the full committee in Chi
cago on November Is.
After discussing various matters Of detail
the committee adjourned 70 meet tomorrow

A PERILOUS BALLOON VOYAGE.
Three French Aeronauts Have a Mar
row Escape From Instant Death.

Three aeronauts, Wales. Lelce and Truelle,
have just met with an exciting adventure which
very nearly had a fatal termination. They left
the gas works at La Villette at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon in their balloon, the Mozart, intend
ing after brief ascent to return again to the
ground just outside the Notifications.
When they reached an altitude Of 5000 yards
hurricane commenced to blow and drove the
balloon on furiously to the northeast. For
some hours the aeronauts had dreadful time,
the wind causing the car to sway so violently
that the occupants were obliged to cling to the
edge in order to avoid being thrown out
Instead of being able to be in Paris in time
for dinner, as they had intended, they found
themselves after dark above the village of
Bourcy, $50 miles from the capital. Then
they resolved to land at all risks. The CRAP
ping irons were therefore thrown out, but they
broke of and the wind got into the envelope
and burst large hole in it. Then the balloon
began to sink rapidly, and very soon the car
struck the ground and rebounded, throwing
ont Lelice, who fell on the telegraph wires,
and then on reaching the ground he remained
insensible for some time.
His companions were also thrown out Of the
car and fell distance of fifteen feet. Lelice,
whose collision with the telegraph wire broke
the force Of his fall, was the least injured Of
the trio, and when he recovered consciousness
he looked about and eventually discovered his
friends being directed to them by their groans.
The balloon and the car are damaged beyond
all possible hope OF repair.

The Views Of The Civil Service Reform
Commission Promised Tomorrow.

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt said
today that he did not feel at liberty to talk on
the subject OF the estate Clubs" now being or
ganized in the several executive departments
for the purpose Of taking part in the campaign
He had given the matter consideration, but had
not yet reached the point where he could in
telligently discuss his opinions and conclusions
in regard to the new phase OF the political
methods Of the administration. He would
probably give the public the views Of the COM
mission on the subject tomorrow.
1t is learned, however, that Mr.. Roosevelt
has drafted letter on behalf of the commits
sion to the chairmen of these estate clubs" in
which their attention i, called to certain con-
siderations in connection with the exist
ence in this city of political clubs,
which they assert are mainly composed Of
The letter will say that it appears that both
parties have these organizations, and the usual
course is to get all the government employees
from q certain state who belong to one political
party or association which is then known by
the name of the state to which they belong
The commissioner says it is noteworthy
that at present the activity in these associ-
atoms Is almost confined to those who are
avowedly republican, whereas they are in
formed that the direct reverse was
the case under the last administra-
ton, and that these political clubs do not dare
to openly exist when the party TO which they
belong is not dominant. The letter warns
these clubs that criminal proceedings will be
instituted against their members il they break
the law.

ailments last winter. No less than $50 900 per-
sons, or 80 per cent Of the population Of Mas
sachusetts, were attacked by II during
q run OF seven weeks, from December
20, 1889, to February 1, 1890. The ratio Of
persons attacked in industrial and other estab-
fishments employing large numbers was about
85.5 per cent, or less than that Of the popu-
lation at large. That Of the inmates Of public
institutions was still less-29 per cent The
ratio Of persons who were obliged to leave
their work was about "a per cent Of the whole
number employed. In this ratio applied to the
wage Farmers Of the whole population (this class
constituting about one-third OF the population,
o. about 10000 persons), the number obliged

the disappearance Of one of the most famous
portraits in the Louvre. 1t is now announced,
without explanation, that it will be rehung in
its former position. The picture is the por-
trait Of Marshal Prim, painted by Henri Reg
naut, and regarding which a curious story is
told. 1t appears that the artist painted it en-
tirely from photographs and without sittings,
the marshal not seeing the picture until it was
finished. He then called at the studio in
Madrid, inspected the picture and asked why
NJ. Regnault had made him look so much like
coal HEAVIER. This query SO enraged the
painter that he Immediately left the city, taking
