The Balloon Ascension.
A great crowd assem- bled on the
court house grounds shortly after 8
o'clock last night to witness the bal
loon ascension. The big bag was well
inflated, but probably on account of
the high altitude, 1t failed to ascend
very high. 1t went up about 200
yards and then commenced to de-
scend. It was impossible under con-
ditions for the balloonist to make the
parachute drop, so he did not cut
loose, and when within a short dis
lance from terra frma he dropped to
the street and got out of the way of
the big bag.
