the summer resort for. some days
A balloon ascension has been a fea-
ture of the open air attractions at
White City for several.$ueeks, an ex-
pert making the ascqsisions. Young
French was interested. in balloonng
as a sport, and sNeseeded in getting
his fathers PERMISSION to go up in the
balloon. That the son of a chief Of
police Of the neighboghool which en-
braced Savin Rock should make an
ascension was considered an attraction
in itself by the management, ana the
feature was lih9talIy advertised He
made ascensions fsr several days with

At , O'Clock french got into the
balloon, which aseended gradually to 4
height Of a Quarter Of Il mile above the

applause of the thousands beneath him
must have reached his ears. When ne

out of a cannon. He tried to open the
parachute, but it had become cloggcd.
and the crowds below saw him dashed
heading to the earth. Some women
tainted, while men hurried to the spot

even hoped to catch him, but before
they could realize it his boly was
dashed against the earth with such
force that his neck was broken. AZ well
as every bone in his body. TIL" acct

CROKER COMING TO AMERICA.
Former Tammany Chief Planning Visit
This Fall After Elections.

New York, Aug 19.-Richard Croker,
former leader of Tammany, is coming
to this country from his home III Ire
land Immediately after the November
election. He is coming on private
business, and will remain but a short
time.
Business matters in which Mr.
Croker is interested seemed to require
his presence in this country short
time ago. One of his friends and
business associates wrote to him urg-
ing him to come oyer at once. In his
reply Mr.. Croker wrote:
'If l should go to New York at this
time the public and the newspapers
might say that I was trying to get
back into politics: I am done with
politics, and I shall not go over until
after the electiop- Let matters stand
until then and 1 will come over Eor a
short time
During the last two or three years
Tumors have been started again and
again to the effect that Croker was
coming back not only to resume the
leadership of Tanmany, but to take an
active part in national politics. In
personal and confidential letters to
friends he has repeatedly said that he
would never again enter politics, and
lie has remained abroad to emphasize
that decision. Mr.. Croker has large
property and business interests in this
city, and in that line it will be neces-
sary for him to come over this year.
According to his present plans. he
will sail for this country Immediately
after the November election, for what
will in all probability be his last visit.
He does not intend to stay here more
than Il month.
