fPy telegraph 20 the Dispatch

CrvcTySATI, o., August 15.--One OF the
attractions at Coney Island this afternoon
was q baloon-ascension by Miss Annie
Harkass whose home is in Terre Haute,
Ind. The young lady has acquired some
distinction as an aeronaut. and had made q
number Of daring parachute descents from
balloons. This afternoon large crowd of
pleasure-seekers throngei the grounds to
witness the ascension. At the appointed
time the young lady came forward and
stepped into the car. The ropes were
loo.ened at once and the balloon rose
rapidly. The hum of excitement grew
louder "a preparations for the descent
were made.
At an elevation of about 500 feet the
parachute was let 20. II slowly began to
unfold. Suddenly the parachute closed,
and. with its human burden, was falling
with friehtiul velocity. Then the silence
was broken by the shrieks of fainting wo-
men, of children waiting and crying. and
men turned away their faces TO shut out
the awful sight. Faster and faster de-
scended the parachute. More intense and
terrible became the strain upon the madly-
excited crowd as horror-stricken it stood
waiting the fearful end. suddenly there
struck upon their ears a dull. sickening
sound. The end had come. A life had
gono out in the midst of pleasure. The
girl was dead.

THE GRAIN TROUBLE.
NO GERMAN REDUCTION OF CORN
DUTIES WITHOUT CONFUSION.
Disastrous Results Of the Russian Prohf-
billion OF tho Expectation of Rye
Relying Upon America
Copyrighted, 1891, by tho New York Associated
Prees.l


Press.
BERLIN, August l5.-Despite positive as
surance to the contrary. it was generally
hoped that the Cabinet meeting announced
for this afternoon could resolve on some
reduction IN the corn duties. twas hoped
that the influence Of Minister MIGUEL. who
stu strongly urges reduction, would
have the effect Of persuading his col
leagues to consent to,such measure. The
result OF the ministerial deliberations, as
announced this evening in the Reichsdn-
faser. shows that although the Govern
ment's decisions are modified. still they
ere determined not 10 reduce the corn
duties until absolutely compelled 20 do so.
REDrcE FREIGHT RATES.
The Reichs0nrerger says that in view OF
uhiavorable prospects, owing TO wet
we1'her. the prohibition of the expOrta-
ton OF rye from Russia. the Government
mas decided rs an experiment to reduce
freight rates on corn and mill cereals over
the. state railways 10y making sliding
scale: There is no alteration of rates ON
;reights gong lesser distances than 200
kilometres, but great cor essions for longer
distances. The reductions apply 10 rye,
wheat, barely, oats, pulse, Indian corn,
and shells. Although this concession will
increase the facilities OF transport to dis
tressed provinces their want is an increased
stock of gain.
LARGE ISfpoBTATIoNs NEEDED.
Advices from various parts Of the coun-
try show that large importations of grain
Will be imperatlvely needed. The Govern
ment evidently relies on America to supply
the deficiency. but the public. and espe-
clally the workinemen. are not SO easily
satisfied a. to that. The Radical press in
attacking the Government dwells on tire
probability that the corn syndicates of
America are not likely 10 show much con
sderatlon 10 Germany. If by Withholding
their grain they can force the markets. and
80 get their own price. Letters from
Vienna also indicate that although the
official relations of Austria and Germany
are OF the most cordial nature. private
individuals are not disposed to sacrifice
probably exceptional business profits to
mere sentiment.
MERCHANTS HATED
Grain merchants are elated at the con-
tlnual advance OF grain here. The enor-
nous surplus Of Austria Hungary, 1t is ex-
pected. will all come to Germany, pro-
missing to exporters their biggest profits IN
many years.
Socialists are not letting the grass grow
under their feet in taking tho fullest adj
vantage of the gloomy situation TO active
