A THRILLING SPECTACLE.

Those who witnessed the performance
of the parachute jumper at the Fair
Yesterday afternoon will not soon forget
the sight. 1t was probably the longest
parachute Jump on record and during
its performance thousands Of people on
both sides Of the river found their
nerves sorely tried while watching it.
The balloon was unusually we'll pre-
pared and when let loose it bounded
with it's human freight in few mo-
ments to a height that startled the vast
audience. On up, up, up it went at the
same rapid rate, floating slowly
to the southeast. Higher and
higher it mounted skyward till 1t
looked no bigger than a
large foot ball and still the fool-hardy
man on the bar Of the parachute
did not detach his machine. He could
barely be seen by the straining eyes
thousands Of feet below him. His vast
audience stood rooted to the earth,
scarcely breathing while the balloon,
already several times higher than our
highest hill hereabouts, grew smaller
and smaller above their heads. At
times clouds passing beneath obscured
it from view. Only good pairs Of
eyes could recognize the speck dang
ling below it as human be-
ing with life to lose. Then motion
of the parachute caused general thrill
OF horror. 1t had been detached. 1t
dropped away from the balloon, opened,
was seen to swing violently from
side to side, while thousands
of hearts quailed with sickening
fear as the life of the intrepid balloon
ist hung in the balance. Would the
parachute capsize? No. 1t slowly
righted and seemed TO stop still, while
the balloon, which had gone as high
as it could, paused, gradually col
lapsed as the smoke poured from it,
and then turned bottom up and, like a
great snake, twisting and writhing, il
fell past the floating parachute and its
human burden, preceding them TO earth
/ thousands of feet below. Meanwhile,
| like great bird, the parachute
sailed, and slowly the speck on
the trapeze began again to be
recognizable as man. Palmer
and palmer he became and as he neared
the earth the breathless questions were,
where would he light? How hard
would he strike in lighting? Down,
down, easily and gently he hoated,
nearer and nearer the city,ti finally he
was hid from the thousands Of excited
watchers by intervening objects.
A rent or two in his clothes, and a
scratch or two were the sum total Of his
injuries, and he talked to REGISTER
reporter last evening as If he had not
just accomplished SIS dangerous, thrill
ing and daredevil feat as ever was
performed.

ing the cud of It's bitter disappointment
at the overwhelming defeat OF It's iron
bridge scheme, is in every way trying
to handicap the city in it's work OF
building any kind of bridge at Main
street. 1t is now trying to make 1t ap-
pear that the ordinance to change the
rate of interest on the remainder OF the
bonds from AZ to 6 per cent. is to be
submitted because the people voted for
stone instead of iron. This Is
as false as it is absurd, and
nobody knows it better than
the Tatelltgencer. The question OF
stone or iron in the construction OF the
bridge in no way aud at no time en-
tered into the question of the bonds.
Were the Main street bridge now being
built Of iron instead of stone precisely
the same situation would now confront
the city. 1t is very small business our
neighbor Is engaged in, since it knows
that had the people voted for iron
the character Of the bonds would have
remained the same, AZ per cents, and
there would be the same failure to float
them and the same necessity TO increase
the rate OF interest to six per cent, II
any bridge of any kind is to be built.
The situation is simply this: Or the
500, 900 of AZ per cent. bonds but $685.
600 have been sold and il has been found
impossible to sell the remainder, at least,
in time to meet pressing obligations.
The construction is far advanced anu
the bridge should be completed and in
use as soon as possible and the money
for the purpose must be forthcoming.
The experiment of trying to float ~
per cent. bonds has proven failure, as
the REGISTER predicted it would be, al
though after the ordinance had passed
and there was no other immediate rem
edy in sight it urged that every effort
be made to float them. The only way
out of the difficulty now is TO increase
the rate Of interest Of the $50, 500 worth
Of bonds remaining unsold.
This would have to be done whether
the bridge were to be of iron or stone,
and the absurd attempt Of the IntelIi-
gencer to complicate the present ques
tion with the old and long since settled
question Of whether the bridge should
be of iron or stone shows that that
paper is far more interested in crafty
ing it's mean and petty spite than it In
furthering a most important public i'm
provement. 1t is the dog-in-the-manger
policy run mad. Because 1t was de-
feated when the question Of the kind Of
bridge to be built was before the peo-
pie it is trying to prevent the building
of any bridge at all.
Last night Council unanimously
passed the ordinance to submit the
question of adding IL per cent. to the
interest rate of the remaining 500, 800
worth Of these bonds. The election
will occur September 90, and there is
no question whatever but that the or
dinance should be ratified.
