THE BALLOON ACCESSION.


An unexpected number Of at
fractions put in an appearance the
night before the opening of the
fair, and by noon Main street pre-
sented the appearance of verita-
bic Midway. Undoubtedly the
great attraction of the fair was the
balloon ascension and parachute
jump by Prof. Frank Miller, of
Spokane, who had been employed
by the committee to come over and
make an ascension each day,
weather permitting. Promptly at
three o'clock in the afternoon the
initiation Of the big balloon COM
menced, and as soon as this opera
ton was completed the daring
aeronaut scared away into the blue
empyrean to vast height, sus-
pended from the gymnasium at
tachment at the lower end Of the
parachute. Shifting currents Of
wind were encountered in the as
cent, carrying the apparatus some
distance to the sonthward, when
the parachute was released and
the decent began from an elevation
above the ground Of more than
$1,000 feet. With the release oi
the parachute attachment the
balloon scared away aloft, and the
umbrella-like spread began to drop
earthward, meeting some air. cur.
rents which swept the parachute
about in a manner that thrilled
the anxious spectators with the
fear that it was beyond control.
But the daring navigator kept con-
troll, and in due time he effected a
landing near the reservoir south o.
town, amid the plaudits of the as
sembled multitude. The balloon
itself was swept some distance tt
the southward and was captured

New Companies for Elk City.

j. d. Boyer, of Elk City, was in
town several days this week, and
informs us that he had recently
been appointed manager of the Ga
lena Creek Gold Mining Co., COM
posed Of capitalists from Patterson,
N. j., and New York City. They
are now opening up the Galena
claims, Nos. |, 2, 3 and 4. Mr..
Boyer says that these claims are
very encouraging in their showing
for making good mines, the lodges
being large and strong and the ore
values exceptionally high. The
ore is practically all free milling.
The main ledge is four feet wide and
runs through the whole length of
four claims. The average value of
the ore is said to be s62 per ton in
gold. On the Galena No. a num-
Der of cuts and shafts have been
sunk, and a tunnel is projected to
tap the main ledge at depth oi
1000 feet, SO that foot for foot in
depth is gained as the tunnel is ex-
tended. The location of the prop.
erty is FIVE miles from Elk City, and
| it is intended to erect a 20 stamp
mill upon the property as soon as
the tunnel is completed.
Articles Of Incorporation were
filed with the county auditor las
week by the Crooked River Mining
& Milling Co., of Elk City. Th'
company is capitalized at 81 300,
600, in 81 shares. The incorpora
tors are P. r. Hogan, of West Su
perior, Wis, T. s. Hogan, Butte

pany have for the past three year
been steadily exploiting their prop
erty on Crooked river, south @
Elk City, and have driven a SOC
foot tunnel upon one of their claim
which is supposed to be continu
alton of the Cleveland claim on Re
lief creek, which was bonded las
week to S. w. Smith. They hav
opened up a fine property, aud hav

The second ascension on Friday
was a more complete success than
that of the preceding day, the
whole concern going straight aloft
with scarcely a deviation from the

DATE OF THE PRIMARIES
Republican County Committee Fixed
Monday, Sept. 16, Between 4
and p. M. as theTime.

The Republican standing committee
of the county met yesterday afternoon
in the Central Republican club rooms
on Washington avenue and selected
Monday, Sept. 16, between the hours
of and s o'clock p. m, as the time
for holding the primary election to
nominate candidates for additional law
judge. county controller, coroner and
county surveyor. The convention of
the return judges will be held Thurs
day, Sept. 10, at 10 o'clock a. m.
The meeting was called to order by
County Chairman d. j. Davis. He said
It was the first time he had met the
committee since the close of last falls
campaign and he thanked them for the
splendid work they did 1t had been
suggested to him by the candidates,
that in selecting the time for the pri-
maries a day other than Saturday be
named.
Alderman w. S. Mllar gave it as his
emphatic opinion that they ought to
get away from what he termed the
fool idea" of holding primary elections
on Saturday. 1t is an impossibility, he
declared, to get anything like the vote
out on that night.
L oT1ler keCOTucT james MOlr also
spoke against the Saturday primary.
On motion of Mr.. Moir it was decided,
without opposition, to have the pri-
mary election between the hours of
and p. m. on Monday, Sept. 16. Ac-
Cording to the rules the convention of
the return judges is held three days
later.
The chair was empowered to appoint
a committee of three to assist him in
apportioning the expenses of the pri-
mary election among the candidates.
The last day for candidates to register
and pay their assessment will be Aug
ust n.
Immediately following the close of
the committee meeting George +. Stew
enson registered as a candidate for
the nomination for county surveyor.
He is the present surveyor and is
resident of Waverly. Edward S. Jones,
of Archibald, registered as candidate
for county controller. He is the gen.
tleman appointed by the governor to
fill that office until the close of this
year.

SHARPER IN THE TOLLS.
Was Arrested Last Night by Super
intendent Robling.

Superintendent of Police Frank Rob-
ling made a clever capture last night
of an out of the city sharper who has
ben trying to pass forged checks in
this city. He gives his name as James
Murphy and said he came from New
York and Chicago.
II was reported to the superintendent
yesterday afternoon by central city
business man that Murphy, of whom
he gave an accurate description, had
entered his store and asked him to
cash an $l1 check drawn upon Livery
man James j. Nealis. His first inn
pulse was to give the man the money,
but on second thought he decided first
to call up Mr.. Nealis.
Wait a minute" said he to the en-
terprising Mr.. Murphy, till I call up
Nealis."
He rang the telephone bell, and then
turning his head saw Murphy's coat
tails vanishing out of the door, and
Mr., Murphy progressing at a rate
which would cause Tewkesbury, Long,
and other sprinters blush with envy.
superintendent Robling arrested
Murphy on Lackawanna avenue last
night, recognizing him from the de-
scription. He is about 30 years of age,
five feet eight inches in height, and
has dark hair and moustache. He
was taken to the Centre street station.
where search revealed a bundle of
blank checks upon his person.

A FRACTURED ANKLE.
Injury Suffered by Man Elected
From Saloon.

A man who gave his name as John
Evans was taken TO the Lackawanna
hospital last night, suffering from a
fractured ankle, received by being
elected from j. j. Flaherty's saloon,
on Penn avenue. lie was taken to the
hospital in the police patrol, and his
injuries found to be of such a nature
that he was allowed to remain there
instead of being taken to the police
station, as was first Intended
He entered the saloon without the
price of the drink he ordered and the
bartender claims, abused him in a vile
manner. He also acted disrespect-
fully to Patrolman David Parry, after
he was elected. Parry called up head
quarters and Sergeant Deter respond
ed with the wagon.
At the hospital, Evans caused n
good deal of amusement by the atti-
tude of panied dignity he adopted.
THAT man. he said. pointing to Par

was drunk. And me having only
three beers at that? How could I be
drunk. And he's a policeman, too. oh
my, what ignorance!"

GOLDEN'S WIDOW,

Mrs. James Golden, the widow of the
policeman who was killed in Dunmore
by Tony Longo a year ago, came be-
fore the board and asked for relief.
Director Burke asked her how much in
surance there was on her husbands life
and when she replied $500, he said he
had heard from good authority that she
received $1,000. Mrs. Golden didn't
make any specie denial of this, merely
contenting herself with asking who told
him so. The board dismissed the case
when she admitted that she owned her
property. Then Mrs. Golden became
VeXcd.
That's not right. Put it to your
selves, gentlemen. What will / do? |
can't support myself, nor l can't rent
my mouse. It's not right, l tell you: it's

pension money in September. Barney

plainly showed that he, too, had dread
for the poor house, but he finally con-
sented TO so, after heaving a deep sigh
Mrs. Gleason, a smiling and appar-
emily remarkably happy woman, whose
husband deserted her and her seven

while the case OF another deserted
woman, Mrs. Anna Lucas, who wanted

Mrs. Duggan.
