CAUGHT IN THE ROPES
Another Serious Balloon Accident.
The Victim.


The danger attending so-called balloon
ascensions WAS once again fully demon
strated, possibly with fatal result. last
night.
The victim is William Rountree, q pro-
fessional aer0naut. who was seriously
injured while making an ascension at
Stanyan and Oak streets.
1t was half-past o'clock before the
"Woodford Brothers" were ready to make
the ascension. A high wind was blowing
at The time, and some assert the brothers
werethe worse for liquor. Wesley Wash
bourne, one of them, was dissuaded from
making the ascension.
Rountree. his partner, however. con-
cluded to do so alone in order not to dis
appoint the crowd OF spectators present.
Rountree gTasped the two iron rings
and the attendants released the balloon.
At the same time gust of wind carried
the balloon toward a two-stCry frame
dwelling at Oak aud Shrader streets,
block away.
Contrary to Rountree's expectations
the balloon failed to rise more than few
feet from the ground and appr" ached the
house with terrible velocity. The bystand-
ers were Mortified at the spectacle of seeing
the unfortunate man dashed against the
side of the house, and wildly shouted to
the aeronant to let 90 his hold.
Before R1untree could do SO the upper
part of the balloon went over the roof Of
the house. dragging him after it. lie at

dragged nearly fifty feet over the ground
on the opposite side of the house before he
could be released from the ropes by some
of the witnesses to the accident.
Drs. Somers and Cotfman found that
Rountree had been seriously if not fatally
injured. He was badly bruised about The

Fire Last Night.

About 9 o'clock last night the alarm
sounded for fire, calling the fire de-
partment out to a burning residence,
on Olive street, in the suburbs of the
city. The scene of the fire was cot
tage, occupied by Dan Sullivan, a rail-
road man. The fire originated from
a defective flue and had gained dan
gerous headway before discovered
Owing to the damp condition of the
roof, from the recent rains, the fire
burned downward and had almost the
last support to the roof consumed be-
fore it was discovered. Indeed Mr..
Sullivan had only time to escape with
his wife, taking out u valuable trunk
as he went, before the last support
gave way and the roof came down
with a crash.

promptly, but found the burning house

A NEW RAILROAD.
A Great Air Limo to Be Built From
Duluth, Mimi, to Sabine
Pass, on the Gulf.

The lake Superior, Southwestern
and Gulf railway, with capital stock
Of $5,000,0OO has already filed articles
of incorporation with the Secretaries
of State at Des Moines, Ia, and at
Jefferson City, Mo. Information con-
cerning the filing of these papers.
which took place several weeks since,
has been held back from the public
for the purpose Of keeping secret GER
tasn important preliminary arrange
ments, then pending, but which have
now been consummated.
The company has for its object the
consolidation and operation under
one management of one or more roads
IN Minnesota, one north and one south
line in Iowa, with a system in Missou-
ri which with the construction of 200
miles south from the city, win give
'"N NJ" iV"u dVOtas W Illle hOCk,
Ark, at which point connection with
New Orleans and Sabine Pass will be
made. The whole system will give a
direct line of communication from
Duluth, MINI, to the gulf at Sabine
Pass, an arrangement long desired.
Prominent capitalists, including j.
V. Farwell and Geo. W. Gable. of
Chicago, and Gen. G. M Dodge, Of
New York are understood to be in
terested in the company. The new
line is expected to relieve the milling
grain and lumber interests OF the
Northwest and transmississippi coun-
try of the arbitrary demands of the
trunk lines east of Chicago and afford
them direct rail and ocean connection
with the markets Of the Old World
without being compelled as at present
to reach the Atlantic seaDoard via
Chicago and New York or Boston.
The lines already built, together with
those upon which construction will
soon begin, will shorten the distance
TO the gulf from 1888 to 1850 miles, and
will traverse the most productive por-
tons of the Northwest and South,
penetrating to the Northern terminal,
the great wheat and lumber regions of
Minnesota, and passing Southwark
pierce the inexhaustible corn and
coal fields Of Iowa and Missouri.
From Springfield in Missouri and
Little Rock, in Arkansas, for dis
tance of 200 miles the proposed line
will traverse thickly settled and
prosperous section of country with no
competing line within thirty miles on
either side. This with stretch of
sixty miles in Southern Missouri and
Northern Arkansas is underlaid with
thick veins Of coal and lead, the latter
composed of the best galena ore IN the
south, easily rivaling the extensive
lead deposits at Joplin. This section
is also an unrivaled stock country, the
product Of which has now TO be haul
ed or driven sixty miles to market
at Springfield.
The road will be OF vast and almost
incacuable Importance to this state
Nor will its benefits be confined en-
tirely to that portion of the country
through which its lines are to pass,
but will extend to every portion Of the
state.

a correct idea of legislative sentiment
on the new tariff measure be ascer-
tanned.
There are of course members of the
House who are not satisfied with the
bill, and who, no doubt, will vote for
some changes, yet il is apparent from
the way they talk that if the bill comes
to a vote IN the present form it will
pass with few dissenting members
among the Democrats. If the Repub-
licans had any hope that there would
be sufficient dissatisfaction in the
House to defeat the bill they made a
mistake, for the Democrats seem only
too anxious to get the bill through
as soon as it can possibly be passed
1t seems to be not so much a ques-
tion of rates as the settlement of the
whole question that majority of the
Democratic members are most inter-
ested in. A member of the Democrat
ic majority committee voted this sem
timent, that number of Democrats
said the bill did not need much discus
sion in the House, but what they
wanted was to get it over to the Sen
ate at as early day as possible. He
indicated even that if it should be
necessary to apply the cloture it is
very likely the Democrats would put
the bill through without much debate.
1t is a course that would be neces-
sary, for the Democrats have behind
them good working majority, or at
least quorum, in the House in favor
of the bill.
Itnow looks as if there would not
be much difficulty in securing such a
quorum, if the talk INDUCED in by the
Democrats that have thus far arrived
is any indication of the sentiment of
those who have said nothing OF the
number who have been heard talking
on the subject none go so far, even in
private, as to say that unless some
notifications are made they will OPP
pose the bill. OF course this is not
the sentiment among all Democrats.
There are plenty Of them who say that
they will make an effort to get some
thing for their own particular dis
trlct, but, failing IN this, they will sup
port the bill as a party measure. The
President in his message points out a
method they may adopt when, he says,
it will not be expected that all can be
satisfied, but in great issues and upon
great questions some sacrifice must
be made for the benefit of the great
principle involved.
