A BALLooNIsT's FALL.
Drops Two Hundred Feet and Is Not
nt All Injured.

CHICAGO, June 22.-George r. Law
renee, an adventurous photographer who
takes snapshots of the earth from the
point of view of the sky, fell 200 feet
from a broken balloon yesterday. and
struck upon his feet without a bruise or
scratch
The balloon was big enough to carry
80 pounds. Suspended from it was
platform 80 by IS inches with a handrail
around it two and a half feet above the
floor. Mr.. Lawrence had been up $50
feet. He was being pulled back to the
ground shortly after l O'Clock, when he
heard swapping sound above him. The
ropes of the netting were breaking. He
thought out a plan Of action. In a few
seconds the big globe full Of gas slipped
out through the hole in the netting and
floated away.
u figured that I must try to fall as
easily as possible" said Mr.. Lawrence.
Il grasped the two sidebars above the
platform. and held them fast all the way
down, managing TO keep my balance so
that the platform acted like a parachute
and broke the force of the fall. l bent
all my joints slightly. keeping my muscles
perfectly stiff, however. As l approached
the ground ! raised myself on my toes,
and was in that position when l struck.
The platform hit the ground tilted just a
little. but almost as fiat as when l start
ed to fal. l fell down like rag when
I hit hut I hadn't bruise except slight
one on my right knee
There was only one thing that operated
te make Mr. Lawrence's fall easier which
was not due to his own presence of mind.
That was the fact that he fell so close to
a lot of telephone and telegraph wires
that the netting of the balloon that came
trailing down behind him dragged upon
them slightly and lessened his speed in
the last forty feet The drag was not
enough to make it noticeable to him. nor
did it serve to tint him off his platform.
Mr.. Lawrence wired at once for another
balloon.

coNsPIRING AGAINST POLICE.
An Alleged Negro Organization in
Atlanta. Ga.

ATLANTA. Ga, June 22-The murder
of a patroimaIr named Debray in the out
skirts Of the city Thursday night by three
negro desperadoes, and the arrest of
three suspicious negroes yesterday cause
the police TO fear a conspiracy has been
formed for The assassination of police
men. somewhat similar 10 the one in LOU
isiana. The shooting of Debray had every
appearance of having been premeditated
and arranged through decoy, and the
fact that the officer had gained the en-
nifty of several bad negroes strengthens
this belief.
Yesterday morning. on his way TO his
courtroom, Recorder Broyles overheard
three negroes say that Hollingsworth,
Rowan, and Hollis were the next police
men scheduled TO be assassinated, and
that a regular ''maiia'' existed for the eX-
termination of the bluecoats. The record
er at once reported what he had heard.
and the negroes were placed under arrest.
They deny any specific connection with
such an organization as their talk init
mated. but they are being held as suspi
cious characters, and the authorities
manifest much uneasiness over the Incl
dent
The three policemen named are among
the most fearless and oldest members of
the force. and have at different times in
the discharge of their duties given Of
fence to many negro criminals. The city
detectives have been instructed TO keep
a close watch for other negroes induigiug
in incendiary talk. and a rigid inveStiga-
ton viii be prosecuted INTO the Affairs of
those already detained. In the last few
years four Atlanta policemen have been
mysteriously murdered. and none of their
assailants have been brought to justice.

NOT A COMMON SCHOOL.
A Decision Regarding the Status OF
Catholic Orphnnage.

ROCHESTER,, N: ". June 22.--Justice
Rich has denied an application of James
Sargent. of the American Protective AS
sociation, for temporary injunction TO
restrain the payment of school money to
four sisters employed in a Catholic paro-
chial school, of this city. Sargent claimed
constitutional and statutory violation.
Justice Rich says in his opinion that
there is direct legislative authority for
the present method of imparting instruc-
tion ito the inmates Of orphan asylums"
and quotes tha decision in the case of
St. Patrick's Orphan Asylum ana others
against the Board of Education, reported
in 81 Howards Procedure. in which this
position is taken. He then takes up the
point made by Sargent, viz, that the
payment is a violation of section of
article IX of the constitution, and says
that section provides that neither the
State nor any subdivision thereof shall
use its property or credit or any public
money or authorize or permit either to
be used directly or indirectly IL aid or
maintenance, other than of the cXamina-
tion or inspection. of any school or insti-
tuition of learning wholly or in part
under the direction or control Of any re-
ligious denomination. or in which any
UNCONVENTIONAL tenet or doctrine is
taught"
The court said an orphan asylum is or
ganized mainly as a shelter for fatherless
and motherless children. 1t takes the
place of home TO them, and the State
steps in and says it viii supply them the
same instruction as the common schools
offer to more fortunate children. The in
struction given is incidental to the main
purpose of the asylum. So it has been
held that an orphan asylum was not
common school.
The court quoted a section of the con-
stitution providing that nothing in the
constitution shall prevent any county,
city, town. or village from providing for
the care, support, maintenance, and secu-
lar education of inmates of orphan asy-
lums, homes for dependent children. or
correctional institutions, whether under
public or private control.
This decision denies an Injunction and
