BALLOON BURST.
Aeronaut Jacobs Dashed to Death at
Quincy-He Fell About
200 Feet.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-Two thous-
and persons saw Frank jacobs, an
aeronaut, dashed to death against the
hard ground at Baldwin Park.
Jacobs, who was 20 years old, for
merly lived in Cincinnati, o. -Four
years ago he came to this city and
learned the balloon and parachute
business under the Baldwin brothers.
Jacobs and a local aeronaut named
Ed. Dudley were advertised to give q
balloon and parachute race, and at
10 both OF the hot air balloons were
let 60.
The balloons travelled together about
$50 feet, when the spectators were
Mortified to see Jacobs balloon burst,
ripping from top to bottom.
The crowd yelled to him to cut
loose, and he promptly did 30, but the
distance was not great enough to per-
NIT the parachute 10 initiate, and be
plunged back to earth like SO much
lead.
He struck the ground feet first, and
was unconscious when picked up aud
carried into the circus tent, where he
died half an hour later.
Among the Mortified spectators were
Jacobs wife and little son.

THE Kansas City World, a strong

tally:
"Mr. j. w. Farris, of Laclede Coun-
ty, is sticking to his scheme of fusion
with the Populists with his usual per-
sistency. Just how fusion would be
satisfactory to the Democracy, how
ever, can be accomplished is one of
those things that Mr.. Farris has not
been able to point out, and upon
which Chairman Cook will hardly be
able to agree with Chairman Rozelle.
of the Populist Committee.
"There is no doubt that the very
large majority of the Democrats ol
Mfssoyrs would-s not tolerate for n mo-
ment Any fusion that would contem-
plate the placing of Populist electors
on the Democratic ticket unless they
were pledged to vote for Sewall, ano
hardly under those circumstances
The placing of any Populist on the
State ticket would not be thought of
and neither would the Endorsement o.
Populist candidates for Congress.
SIT is well enough for Chairman
Cook to consult with Chairman Ro'
zelle, but it is difficult to see how any
agreement can be reached. The Pop
ulist vote in Missouri, anyway, was
drawn largely from the Democracy
and the great majority of them will
return to their old party affiliation
this year"
