People who have taken, and read
the Orange County Farmer will be
surprised and gratified to see the
new form and style that paper has
taken as the New York Farmer,
Horticulturist and Dairyman. 1t is
neat well printed sheet, replete
with interesting matter, and cannot
fail to be of great aid to those seek
ing advice and information concer-
ing agricultural matters. The first
page is adorned with portraits of the
owners and editors of the Farmer
and also of its home, and on the
fourth its press rooms are shown.
It's editor in chief, Mr.. E. G. Fowler,
is too we'll known as an authority on
horticulture to need a word of COM
mendation, while Mr.. w. t. Doty
as managing editor is an able and
forceful writer. The Farmer should
be in the hands of every tiller of
the soil or grower of fruits, and no
doubt will meet with the success
which its enterprise and merit de-
serves.

went to his studio in this borough,
Wednesday morning he found a
state Of things not to his satisfac-
ton. Several valuable lens and
other articles were missing. The
front door was open showing that
entrance had been effected by fitting
a key to its lock. SuspectiDg a
young lad about seventeen years
old from the fact that he had been
lettering about the room the preced-
ing day, Mr.. Myers procured a
search warrant and with Constable
Hermann proceeded to the house of
Mrs. Charles Wirtz. There a care
full search was instituted which re-
suited in finding nearly all the stolen
property hidden under floor board
in the attic. On making enquiry of
Mrs. Wirtz, she informed the Off
Ger that her son Willie Wirtz, who
was the suspected person, was up
at John Lauers. He was found there
by the Constable and brought to
Milford and lodged in Jail, Mr., Myer
was fortunate in securing his goods,
which amounted in value to over six
ty dollars. Young Wirtz was taken
before Esquire Cortright on Thurs
day morning and in default of 800
bail was re-cOmmitted to Jail.

FELL FULL SEVENTY FEET.
Terrible Accident to Louis Heinrich Last
Evening
His Balloon Trapeze Broke-No Bones
Fractured, and He Will
Likely Recover.

Shortly before o'clock last evening
Louis Heinrichs, the contortionist of
Monroe's circus, which is giving exhi-
bitions at Fifteenth and NJ streets, fell
from balloon, while making an as
cension, distance Of about seventy
feet, striking upon the pavement at
the corner Of Sixteenth and K streets.
A great crowd of people witnessed
the ascension and fall, and all sorts of
rumors were soon flying broadcast con-
corning the accident and the incidents
which led up to it. But the facts, as
afterward ascertained, are as follows:
The management of the circus had
contracted with Burke. the aeronaut,
to make an ascension in the afternoon,
but he having made a previous con-
tract with the street railway company
to make an ascension tomorrow, was
not allowed by them to make the trial.
He however, so the manager of the
circus said, agreed to go up in the
evening, but when the hour arrived he
refused to do so, giving as a reason
that he was afraid the balloon would
catch fire. owing to the strong breeze.
Then the manager approached young
Heinrichs-knoWn in the ring as Lou
Zandello-and asked him to make the
trip so as not to disappoint the public
Heinrichs, who had made several as
tensions, at once complied
Owing to the brisk breeze, the balloon
could not be more than half filled with
gas, and this fact undoubtedly saved
the life of the contortionist, as the gas
1t carried had not sufficient power to
lift the balloon more than seventy five
feet.
AS soon as this hight was reached
Heinrichs commenced the usual per-
formance on the bar hanging from the
parachute, but had made but two
swings when the bar parted from it's
support, and he was dashed downward
like streak, striking in a tree stand
ing near the corner Of Sixteenth and K
streets, two blocks northeast from the
starting place. The tree broke the force
of the fall, or he would have been
crushed to jelly.
An exclamation of horror arose from
the assembled throng of people, and
many turned away from the sight of
the falling man. DR.. Gallagher was
one of the first to reach him. He
found the young man unconscious, but
was unable to find anything more Sc
rious than a lacerated artery of one
Of the wrists.
The aeronaut was Immediately re-
moved TO the Sisters Hospital, where
he received prompt attention from the
physician in charge. The wounded ar
terry was connected and the flow of
blood stopped.
At a late hour Heinrichs was con-
scious and resting easy, but regarding
the extent of his injuries internally the
physician could make no statement,
preferring to await further develop
ments. No bones were broken, strange
to say.
Heinrichs' home is at San Diego,
though for the last year he has lived
with Mrs. SCOT, at IA Mason street, San
Francisco. He appears to be great
favorite with his actor friends, who
deeply deplore the accident.

He looked about in a guilty sort of

SWANBERG'S CASE.
The Governor to Act in the Requisition
Matter To-Day.

An application for requisition for
warrant of arrest for Charles Swan
berg, a merchant of San Francisco, was
received by Governor Budd yesterday.
1t was recited in the application that
complaint charging Swanberg with per-
jury committed in a probate court case
had been issued and that he had left
the State and is now in Chicago.
Later in the day the Governor re-
ceived a telegram from Swanberg's at
torney requesting that the requisition
be withheld until he could be here to
present his side of the question. The
request was granted and the arguments
will be heard to-day. Swanberg's attor-
ney arrived ON a late train last night.
