81 saw a balloon ascension and nara.
chute drop down in Texas not so long
ago." said Ed Reeder, q well known ball
player now with one Of the Southwest.
ern league clubs, that was very inter.
esting. Tho balloonist Leroy made an
aerial trip from a small town near Aus.
tin n day and was to make q parachute
leap. When at an altitude Of about
1900 feet he suddenly recollected that
his parachute was a brand new one and
had never been tested. Not caring 10
risk the thing he attached a City pound
sack Of sand (ballast) to the parachute
and cut it loose. AS he feared, the thing
failed to work right and did not open at
ali.
THE sand and parachute dropped like
a streak to the earth, gaining momentum
with every foot of their descent until
they struck the wooden roof Of a house
below, crashing through It like through
SO much paper. The balloon scared aloft,
and in due time, as the hot air gradually
escaped, sank slowly to earth in the
midst Of a farm several miles from the
town. The farm hands had observed its
coming, and when It alighted seized
upon the airship, which was a valuable
oiled silk affair, and claimed It as the
property Of the owner of the land be-
cause 1t had landed there. The rights
Of Professor Leroy, who happened to
have landed right with his property,
were entirely ignored. But the captors
were obduraie and finally the professor
departed.
she obtained a writ Of replevin for his
balloon from the nearest squire, and q
constable shortly after restored the cap
tured airship to its rightful owner. The
hole in the roof Of the building caused
by the professors sandbag and the dam
age consequent thereto had to be re-
paired and settled for at his expense.
Had he taken the place of his sandbag
at the p%arachute's handle the funeral
expenses would have far exceeded the
damage to the oof."-Cincinnati Times

In a farmhouse between Marcellus
and Skaneateles there is a curiosity.
Between the plastering and the siding
Of the house at one joint there is a va
cant space, which for the past three sea
sons has been utilized for hiving pur-
poses by a colony Of bees. The colony
has grown 10 such an extent that on a
warm summer day it is sometimes un-
safe to drive horses in the yard near
them. The family living in the house
expect TO make repairs in the fall, and
they estimate that they will harvest 200
pounds Of honey from their novel hive.

Phelan vs. State Secretary R. Jay Walsh. The republicans in their demurrer held that the democratic complaint was defective and should not stand because there was still an opportuu- ity of MT.

Startling Results of Magnetism-Dr
 Damon Heals the Sick Free.

For the past two months Warner hall has been the scene of many strange sights. People with ail sorts of diseases have been carried upon the stage and in full view of the audiences that are always present they have been cured by some seemingly mysterious power. Dr. Damon, however, claims that the cures are wrought wholly by the magnetic power.
 The doctor gives a very interesting lee. ture and then demonstrates the power by treating those who wish to test the treat ment. Already over 15O poor sufferers have been cured at these free clinics and the crowd was just as large yesterday as ever Several quite complicated cases were treated. Some, we feel sure, would not have been undertaken by any other physician in New Haven, yet pr. Damor relieved them as quickly as though they had been troubled with a mere headache A Mrs. Clark, who was cured of paralysis fourteen years ago, gave her evidence tt
 the fact, thus proving that cures made by 1 this system are more lasting than by any
 other known to the world. Dr. Dsmoni | office at 92S Chapel street is crowded con
