Der of the delicately constructed instru- ments that MT. Glaisher took up with him were broken. It was on September 5, in the same year, that the pair made
 the record journey of rising to a height of no less than seven miles above the
 surface of the earth, and the story of
 this exciting exploit shows that the in trepid scientists had very narrow es- cape indeed of their lives.
 They reached an elevation of five miles in forty-two minutes, and still kept ascending. After time, the valve line having become entangled, owing to the rotary motion of the bal loon, Mir Coxwell had to leave the car and mount to the ring, but there was hoar frost all round the neck of the bal loon, and the moment his hands touched the ring they were frost-bitten and rendered useless so that he had to put his arms on the ring and in this way drop back into the car. In the mean- time, MT. Glaisher, who had observed that they had attained height of twenty-nine thousand feet, found his sight affected, and soon afterward his arms fell powerless; then he seemed to have no limbs at all his back and neck lost all muscular power, and he became unconscious. This was the condition in which MT. Coxwell, on reaching the car again, his own hands powerless, found him. Happily, MT. Coxwell was able to seize the valve cord with his teeth, and some vigorous pulls speedily brought them into a warmer Temperature when MT. Glaisher recovered, and was him. self able to attend to MT. Coxwell by rubbing his crippled hands with brandy. In a leading article on the subject of this famous exploit the Times of Sep tember II, 1882, said: "The aerial voy- age just performed by MT Coxwell and MT. Glaisher deserves to rank with the greatest feats of experimentalizers, dis ceverers and travellers" and, though much has since happened, the remark isS certainly as true to-day as it was then The result of the many ascents by MT Coxwell and MT. Glasher was the making of some important contrl- buttons to the science of meteorology and they proved, indeed, more clearly than had ever been done before that ballooning was not merely pleasant Dut iillSllt DH IcIueTGu OL BIebt practical utility. From the same point of view Mr. Coxwell was most pertina- cious in urging the advantages of em- ploying balloons in times of war, and he wrote, in his volume of recollections: "I had hammered away In the Times for little less than decade before there was real military trial of ballooning for military purposes at Aldershot" MT. Coxwell continued his ascents up to 1SS5-London Times.

THE STEAM WHISTLE NUISANCE.
Prof. p. s. Morse Writes a Vigorous
 Protest Against it's Continuance.

| | | Protest Against it's Continuance. | By a communication in your paper I was glad to see that at last some one l in Salem had raised his voice against
 the barbarian of steam whistles. Other towns and even villages in the Com
 monwealtb have long since stopped the
 railroad crossing whistling nuisances.
 Outside New England great cities have
 not only stopped this senseless practice,
 but have forbidden all factory whistles, notably the cities of Detroit, Cleveland, and Carlisle, Penn. Our good old ci y is treated as a country cross-road and
 every night and at all times loud blasts are blown because the railroad company
 will not spend little money for proper signals. The Pennsylvania Central and the New York Central with their vast freight traffic, manage to do their work within the yard limits without the sound of whistle. The New York Gen. tral has specially constructed engines for this work so that the exhaust is hardly heard. Our Mayor Hon. David M. Little, is the first Mayor in New England, so far as know, who has all luded to this matter in his inaugural address.
 It is time that the citizen should int sist upon that quiet in the city which he demands in his own home. He should insist upon the suppression of every un- necessary noise, in fact, number of our municipal ordinances never enforc- ed, provide for this relief. The modern hotel, which often shelters in numbers the equivalent of a populous village, has within recent years secured all these comforts. The time was when the sur roundings of hotel were dirty, when chatter and bang were the order of the day, when a Chinese instrument of tor ture, the gong, was vigorously pounded through every corridor at an early hour in the morning. Now one leaves an or der to be called at 6:30 or S:3O and a bell boy goes through the carpeted cor ridor and raps at ones door at the appointed time. Fancy hotel firing off .1S-inch gun in front of it's prem ises to announce the hour of 7, for ex- ample, or blowing a steam whistle suffi- ciently penetrating to wake up the peo- pie in the next county! Surely such hotel would lose it's patronage at once
 Yet the barbarism of steam whistles on factories, and at railroad crossings within the city limits, is endured with out a protest from the citizens nor from any organization, as far as I know. But you reply it would be difficult to stop the senseless nuisance. Certainly, if the public spirit of city like Detroit can suppress this horror, a city like the size of ours, by creating a proper public spirit, could do so, too. So we'll are the laws enforced in Detroit that the manager of the Peninsular Car Company informed me that he was brought up before the Municipal Court for blowing his whistle at o'clock.

po,,,s Wonderland Thenter.

MT. Poll has prepared a bright com edy bill for this week, with many novel features in addition to the laugh mak- ing material. A new farcical success is the one-act play, "A Cold Deal, or Just Off the Ice" This is a case of fun for every minute and is played by com pany of stars headed by George New file. The songagraph is the novelty of the year, device for illustrating story songs with vivid moving pictures. The singer is A. Sydney Rhorer, a baritone of exceptional ability. Robert Fisher and company will present a comedy called Yours Truly, John h." which gets it's fun from the remarkable re- semblance of the principal character to the ex-champion pugilist. Nellie Burt, the best of the coon" song singers, and McWatters and Tyson, with their sketch, Fun in the Green Room," en- tirely remodeled and brought up to date, will be pair of hits. Orc Banard and Gro, who play droll Chinese com- edy, are very funny. The Prantzer trio will give a great act, including gro- tesque dancing and posturing, and the Simpsons in high class musical act will delight the musical people. The Gaspard brothers have a sensational and novel act. They juggle Mexican axes, a feat that gives them opportun- ity for many brilliant and thrilling ex- ploits. Prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies at matinee, 10 cents. Reserved seats 30 ce0tS

CAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN.
Man Found Dead in Bed at the Adams
 HOuSp

Man Found Dead in Bed at the Adams
 House.
 A man about fifty years of age, who registered at the Adams house Saturday night as ''T. Hogan, New London" was found dead in bed at the hotel about 9.30 o'clock yesterday morning. He registered about 630 o'clock Saturday evening, paid for a room and then went out. He came back about 12 o'clock and asked if he didn't have a room as- signed to him. Mrs. Cochrane, proprie- tress of the hotel, was in the office when he wrote his name in the register, and when he came back later the clerk was there. The clerk asked his name and he said that it was Burke. Mrs. Cochrane came up about that time and asked him why. if his name was Burke, he had registered under the name of Hogan. In reply he said that one name was as good as another, and he didn't care what he was called.
 He retired shortly after 12 o'clock. At 9:30 yesterday morning Mrs. Cochrane, on her round of the rooms to see if the lodgers were out, knocked at the door of the room occupied by Hogan, or Burke, as he had given his name. She received no answer to repeated knocks, and, looking through the keyhole, saw that the key was in the lock on the in- eide and that the door was locked.
 With another key the one already in the door was pushed out and the door was unlocked and opened. A powerful odor of gas rushed out, and, hastening into the room, Mrs. Cochrane found the man lying dead in bed. Medical Exam finer White was at once notified. Dr. White at first thought that death had been due to asphyxiation, but on fur ther examination decided that this was not the cause of death. He said last evening that he had not definitely de- cided what was the cause of death. He said, however, that it would not be case for investigation by the coroner. Bruises were found on the mans right side, but these are thought to have been caused by a fall. He had been dead about an hour when found by Mrs. Cochrane. When she entered the room she found that the gas jet was turned about two thirds on. pr. White thinks that the man, IeollnS III, lTleu to uBHt the gas, but was unable to do so. He lay on the outside of the bed clothes, and the pillow was only indented in the place where his head lay, indicating that he had not tossed about much.
 Dr. White thinks that the mans right name was Michael Fahy and that he had been working for F. T. Swayne, contractor at Clinton. The remains were taken to Beecher & Bennett's un- dertaking rooms.

AN OFFICERS FIRST BATTLE.
His Men Ran Away From Him.

His Men Ran Away From Him.
 when the first time he leads his men into battle? This is a question which the soldier himself alone can answer and we suspect that good many would be unwilling to go too closely into the
 subject. The hum of a rife bullet, the
 shriek of a shell, the rush of a cannon
 shot must be, and always has been, ex-
 tremely trying to the inexperienced
 warrior A certain officer, who prefers
 on this occasion to be namelese has
 frankly described his first experience in
 battle. We were advancing to the scene
 of operations" he says. "On entering
 strip of wood it occurred to me that my men, being raw recruits, would not fight we'll on horseback, and so I order ed them to diemount. This, of course, stopped the whole body of the army be- hind the regiment While the men were leisurely tying their horses an officer came up at furious gait and asked peremptorily: What have you stopped here for, and blocked up the whole road? I saw the point in a moment, and bade my men move out of the wood. In the mean time my scabbard got it. self hopelessly entangled in bush, and the more I tried to get it loose the more it stuck the faster So I told my men to form at the edge of the wood and wait for me Then I cut the straps and left my broken scabbard in the bush, while, with naked blade flashing in my hand, l rushed to the front. Not a man could I find They were anxious to see the fun, and had run over the brow of the hill, and scattered along the whole length of the line After infinite diffi- culty, many words and more temper, I got them together again.
 "We were barely in position, when I heard distant cannon, and at the same instant saw tho ball high In the air. As near as I could calculate, it was going to strike exactly where I stood, and I diemounted with remarkable agility, otly to see the missile of war pass sixty feet overhead. l felt rather foolish as I looked at my men, but good deal relieved when I aw that they, too had all squatted on the ground, and none of them were looking at me. I quickly mounted again and commanded them to stand up We were ordered to charge soon after, and the enemy easily gave way before us, from which was most devoutly thankful.
