ST. JOINS (N. F., Sept. 22-Ths
steamer Kite arrived yesterday at this
port with Lieutenant Peary and Hugh j.
Lee and a colored servant on board.
They were found at Whale Sound on
August Sd. They had only ten days pre-
viously returned from a great overland
expedition. which proved a comparative
failure. Independence Bay, the most
northern part OF Greenland, was reached
early III July, but they were deferred
from the great undertaking by an INSULT
cheney of food. They were obliged on
this account to abandon an attempt TO
made further progress. Nearly all their
dogs perIshed ana the remainder had tt
be shot, owing 10 the inability 10 provide
them with anything 10 eat.
Full details of the terrible sulferings of
the Peary party are now coming. 1t is
wonderful bow they survived. No other
case is known where Arctic explorers
deliberately took their lives in their
hands and ventured upon a most exact
ing enterprise, with the full knowledge
that their supply OF food was insufficient,
and that they would probably perish in
the attempt.
Peary's disappointment over the unsat-
lsiactory termination OF the expedition is
uncOnceaIed, but all admit that be is not
responsible for the failure. No human
being could have done more to make the
expedition a success. Had be had more
money or even sufficient provisions he
would have accomplished much.
All mem bers of the expedition leave
for New GOrk by the steamer Sylvia

a Fatality Which heretofore Was
Thought to be AN Accident.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 22.-What was sup
posed to have been an accident proves to
have been one Of the most daring and
awful suicides on record.
a week ago Professor Busch of this
city made q balloon ascension at the
county fair at Pennsboro, w. Va Just
as be was starting a fine looking man
ran up to Busch and asked 10 be taken
along. He was told that he could not GO.
Busch supposed that he had left, and
sent the balloon up riding on q trapozs.
1t appears that the fellow caught the net
ting, and when the balloon was about q
thousand feet high he jumped out. It
was thought shat IL was an accident.
Professor Busch returned here yesteT-
day, and said it was case OF suicide.
When he saw the man in the netting he
was SO surprised that he almost lost his
balance. He told the fellow to catch mold
OF the parachute rope, come down and he
would take him to earth. The man re-
himself and that unless he cut loose and
went down quickly he would cut the
parachute rope and both would perish.
He had knife, and Busch let go. lie
saw the man toss the knife aside and raise
his hands as if in prayer. Then the death
seeker hurled his body from the balloon.
The man, who was unknown, was
buried here where he fell.

beyond Rincon it stopped on account of
burning logs rolling on the track from
the fire. The train was backed from Eel
ton, and the passengers transferred. The

Telegraph and telephone lines suffered
locally from the same cause. The snow
storm was general all over the state the

that lay OH the ground. The Indications
are favorable for killing frost tonight.
