On Monday, September 9th, at Columbia
park, there will be grand balloon ascension
and parachute leap from the clouds by Prof
Roberto, the King of Aeronauts the most
daring person that has ever attempted
ethereal navigation. His manner of getting
his air-ship up and his wonderful exhibition
in mid-air stamps him as wonder in his
line. His record of over 500 ascensions with
out accident or failure is guarantee of his
success of this wonderful and always fas-
cinating attraction, Attempts are being
made to detract attention from this great
attraction by an announcement that John L.
Sullivan will umpire game of base ball at
Lakeside on the same day. The following
letter should convince people that Mr.
Sullivan will not be in Schuyllzill county on
Labor Day:
BOSTON, Aug. 8, 1897.
''Mr. George M. Schooner.
DEAR SIR John l.. Sullivan goes out
with his own company Sept. 1st and cannot
be engaged after that date.

MORE DYNAMITE.
Attempt Made to Blow Up a Stable Last
Night.

An attempt was made to blow up a stable
owned by ex-High Constable Brennan, on
West Huokleberry alley, at about nine
o'clock last night. large stick of dualin
was placed in an empty beer keg which was
in the stable and the force of explosion was
80 great that one end of the strong keg was
shattered and corner of the stable wrecked.
Houses in the vicinity were shaken by the
conclusion. Efforts were made to-day to
ascertain what prompted the act. Residents
of the vicinity smiled knowingly and init
mated there is house within a hundred
miles Of the place that is not conducted upon
high moral plane and they believed the
attack on the stable was only made as a
warning. There were no horses or cattle in
the stable. 1t is used as a shelter for hogs.

Two accidents occurred at Mahanoy Plane
early this morning by which several cars
were damaged but no person injured. Freight
train No. SO ran into an open switch and
against the dirt bank at the northern end Of
the yard at the plane causing damage to
several cars. The second accident was due
to a broken car beam on coal train After
the engine and some Of the cars had passed
over a switch the broken beam struck and
turned the switch, which caused the train to
part and sent the rear section on another
track. The engineer of the first section dis
covered that the train had parted, but did
not know the rear engine was pushing the
second section to the other track. The first
section was run back and it struck the pass
ing cars at the switch. Six cars were wrecked.

Fighting in Progress in All Parts of

New York, September 30.-A dis
patch to the Herald from Panama says:
Telegraphic reports from the Herald S
correspondent in San Salvador state
that information has reached there to
the effect that new revolutionary out
break has occurred at Jerez, Guatemala.
This movement is headed by Jose Leon
Castillo, who, like Gen. Prospero Nor
ales, was candidate to succeed Pres
ident Barrios. Jerez is one of the east
ern department where Castillo has been
working since the revolution began in
the west to rouse the people to rebel
lion. With fighting now in the east,
west and south, the danger to Dictator
Barrios is very great. If the rebels are
victorious his chances of escape are
very small.

Phoenix, Ariz.. September 30.-A dis
patch from Tucson says that passen-
gers who came in on the belated Cali
fornia train state that the cause of the
delay were floods in the Salton basin.
1t was the rumored belief that the wa
tiers of the Gulf of California had
broken over the sand bar which sep
aratef the gulf from the BASIN. If
this should prove to be true, Southern
California will have the largest inland
sea on the continent, some places more
than 300 feet deep and a rise would
come up through the gulf to point
opposite Yuma to port of the inland
sea. Many miles of the Southern Pa
cific would be submerged.

Cats Got Very Much Stuck on it.
But not, However, in a Manner Such
as the Term Implies, Nowadays.
One Of the old residents of Stuyve-
SAINT square spends a portion of each
evening, especially the twilight hours,
at the front windows of the basement
in his rambling, old-fashioned house,
which opens out on the square. I'm
mediately in the rear is the big kitchen
the windows of which are as securely
barred as those of some safe deposit
vaults.
Those bars would discourage bur-
glars, but they cannot keep flies out, as
the good housewife long since learned.
Being an old-fashioned woman, how
ever, it was with considerable reluct-
ance that she abandoned the time hon
ored method of darkening the rooms
and beating the flies out with a dish
cloth or long paper whisk.
Her husband brought home some
highly recommended fly paper, and in
sisted that it should be widely distri-
buted around the house, an extra al
lowance being made for the kitchen
and dining room.
The other night he and his wife were
seated at the front window looking out
on the square. They were at peace
with the world. Nothing was further
from their minds than house breakers
or fly paper.
Suddenly there was an unmistaka-
Bile soft thud in the kitchen. The
housewife jumped up in alarm and sat
down again. In the dim light she
could see the outline of a strange form
with glazing eyeballs.
1t came in a series of eccentric
jumps from the kitchen into the dining
room, and after making a mad at
tempt to climb the wall, scurried
among the furniture, darted across the
floor, emitted fearful sounds, and dis
appeared down the cellar stairs.
The Stuyvesant square man is too
easy-going to be much perturbed over
an incident of that kind.
'tIt is not a burglar, Maria" he said,
because no burglar could get in
through those barred windows" And
he did not even offer to go down into
the cellar to see what the strange WIS.,
itQr was doing among the coal and
