The Bellsire Globes Put a Polish on the

Yesterday afternoon the Bellalre
Globes and the champion Pink Carriers
again crossed bats on the Junction
grounds Just below Benwood. II will
be remembered that short time ago
the Pink Carriers had a picnic with this
nine, but yesterday the tables were
turned and the Bellaire boys crawled
out on top, but 10 was a bare
squeeze. This was partly accounted for
by the pitcherof the Bellaire team. They
placed the Old-time twirler, Perk Ken
nedy in the box, and the Carriers only
succeeded ia getting three runs, the
last one being made in the fourth in
ming. The main trouble seemed to be
in the inability Of the catchers to hold
Kennedy, although McGill did fairly
good work. There were a number OF
errors in the game that were apparent
ly inexcusa0le, but on the whole IL was
a contest that well held the attention
of the large number of spectators. The

A Balloon Ascension That Was Not \ uc-
cuss-SeveraI Men Badly Injured.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 16.-This
afternoon Prof. James X. Allen, eldest
son OF Prof. Allen, the well-known
aerial navigator, ChaS. L. Albo, his as
sistant, Edward Barnett, trSpeze
performer, and Journal reporter mar
rowly escaped frightful death while
making a balloon ascension from the
Dexter training field.
At the time, a brisk northweSterly
breeze was blowing, and the inability
OF the men to remove the bags OF
ballast 10 time TO save collision
with tree tops and houses, caused the
accident, which was witnessed by four
thousand people.
As the balloon shot across Lester
street the car struck several tele-
graph wires, and Prof. Allen, who
was i'm the ring, was thrown
out, with coils Of rope and the anchor,
falling go feet to the street, sustaining
serious but not fatal injuries.
His left leg is broken In two places.
His knee is badly fractured, his right
ankle badly sprained and his body cut
and bruised.
When the navigator was thrown from
the ring he held the cord leading to the
safety valve in his hand and ripped
open the side of the balloon its entire
length.
The ship then changed its course and
descended rapidly and collapsed upon
the roof OF q stable, so yards from where
the navigator was thrown out.
Here the car came in contact with
the side OF barn, and the Journal man
was thrown with terrific force through
the netting into window and some
what bruised.
Prof. Allen was taken 20 his home in
the hospital ambulance, where two ply
sicians attended him.
Upon making an examination they
failed to discover any internal injuries.

Locust. on Their rravel..

The British consul in Mogador
mentions in his last report that while
on an excursion inland, about a days
Journey from Mogador, he met flights
of locusts. He says it was an aston
ishing and interesting, though pain
full, sight, the air being in some parts
SC thick with them that they formed
a dense, living brown fog, through
which he could hardly find his way,
while they SO completely covered the
ground that the utmost caution was
necessary in walking, as w could not
tell whether he was treading on soft
sand, hard, slippery rock, or what.
Many birds Toasted on the insects,
including large flights of gulls from
the sea: and beasts evidently enjoyed
their share, for in the middle of thu
densest swarm he saw a fine red fo1
dancing up and swapping dozens Of
the .ocusts in the air, until seeing the
stranger, he suddenly dropped on all
tours and quickly vanished in the
live fog. Not only did the barbel
get their share of the novel food (the
consul used the locusts successfully
as bait for them), but some of the
fish Of the Atlantic were found
gorged with locusts which had been
blown off the land by easterly winds.
AS usual, they were extensively eaten
by the native population, both Mo-
hammedan and Jewish.
