And Two Wilmington Young Men
Had an Exciting Experience

Atlantic City. July ia couple Of
well-known young men from Whining
ton had quite an exciting experience
in a passenger balloon that has been
operating here for the past week or so
near the steel pier. 1t attracted con-
siderable attention at first. but seemed
to be too exciting an amusement for
the average individual, and for the
past few days it was passed almost un-
noticed by the crowds upon the board
walk. until the other afternoon il was
learned that several were going to take
a trip. Then quite a crowd gathered to
witness the ascension.
Everything went along smoothly at
first. The balloon shot up into space
for about 400 feet. then stopped. One OF
the occupants called out go ahead,
but il appeared that those in charge did
not care to let them go any higher. The
wind was so strong that il caused the
balloon to tug at the rope with such
force that quite number became anX-
ious for the safety of the passengers.
After remaining stationary for few
minutes, men started to draw the bal
loon to its mcorings, when it was
learned that there was not enough
steam in the engine used for that pur-
pose to do so. The crowd became eN-
cited. as ID made one dizzy to see the
balloon and its occupants sway back
and forth 90 that height But there
they remained for nearly half an hour
doing, as one of them remarked after his
descent, "a cakewalk in the sky until
they got mp sufficient steam to draw
them down.
BY this time an immense crowd had
gathered, and as tho passengers were
getting out Of the basket all sorts of
questions were asked them. They APP
peared none the worse for their exc T.
ing adventure. IL was ascertainsd tha
two of them were E. l.. Bauer and

Poll Tax

William =. Clayton, clerk in the Office
of Thomas S. Lewis, collector of city

which he is still puzzling. IL may have
been a faint attempt at a hold-up since
the city taxes are being paid rapidly, or it
may have been the prank of a crank.

general circulation. Ii is customary for
the clerks in borh the offices of Messrs.
Lewis and Sayers To- leave the Office al

Clayton left the city building before

Mr.. Clayton was in a quandary as Il
what the intention OF the stranger was

was to close and lock the safe, which h
promptly did. He then turned to tb
man and informed him that Presden
Mckinley had not been in and that poi
