. THE BALLOON BURNED.
Eroaaut Warrington Meets With Worse Luck Than on His First Attempt to Make
 An Ascension.

Yesterday afternoon at East Lake a large crowd gathered to see Worthington, the aeronaut, make an ascension, but they were like those of the day before, doomed to disappointment.
 Everything was ready for the imitation and the balloon was in a fair way to- ward being filled with hot air. A slight rain fell and the bag got very wet on the outside. Suddenly loud report was heard and flash of fire was noticed issuing from the big bag and in two minptes only a pile of ashes and cloud Of smoke was noticed where the balloon sught hto have been.
 The balloon was a very fine one and Mir Worthingtons loss amounts to sev- eral hundred dollars.
 Those present who witnessed the de- struction of the balloon expressed much sympathy for the aeronaut.

OUR NEW FRUIT MART.
Bp Cable to the United Press.

LONDON. Sept. S. 1S95.-The consign-
ment of California fruit by the steamer
Paris, which arrived at Southampton
last evening failed to reach the Covent
Garden market in time for sale today.
The great crowd of buyers who had as
sembled at the market in consequence
of the success of last weeks shipment
were greatly disappointed. The keeping
qualities of the fruit comprising last
weeks consignment were excellent, and
the quality of high grade. The re-
tailers were, therefore. enabled in some
instances to realize a profit of 1,00O per
cent. upon their purchases. The dealers
who We're on hand today were clamorous
for American peaches. There being none
of the product of France or England in
the market except those of hot house
growth, the Americans bring fancy
prices. They are wrapped up in tissue
paper and sold as the best English hot
house-grown fruit. French pears are
exhausted. The English pears are near
ly ripe, but the California pears sell
upon their superior appearance.
