JEWELL FALLS
FROM THE CLOUDS,

Two thousand upturned faces Tues.
day afternoon watched the bi 2
ninety-feet balloon CT Jewell Brothers
shoot skyward at Tumbling Dam Park,
and two thousand pairs of eyes were
fixed upon the speck of humanity
hanging to the trapeza Of the para
chute as he dangled in she clouds, and
then, the parachute being cut away
from the great silk bag filled with hot
air, fell for space like a meteor to-
ward the earth. Then the great blue
covering unfolded. filled with air,
and the daring aeronaut came grace
fully down, down, down, landing sew
eraI hundred feet from the starting
point, safe, smiling, uninjured, and
smiiingly announced that he felt re-
freshed after his skyward trip.
The balloon ascension planned as a
special attraction for the Park yester-
day was a complete success. Nothing
occurred to mar the occasion. ALL
preparations were made by the Jewell
Brothers, and within two minutes of
the advertised time, the big balloon
shot upward and continued its flight
three thousand feet from earth.
The ascension was made from the
plot of ground south of the base ball
field. About 20 minutes were taken
to fill the big bag with hot air. The
entire arrangements were in charge of
Charles Jewell, and he demonstrated
that he was an expert He went
about the work as If he knew the busi-
ness from the beginning, and there
was not the slightest mishap.
When all was ready Jewell gave
word to let 90, and his assistant, with
the par Of the trapeze In his hand,
took sharp run, but at that he was
suddenly yanked from the ground as
the big bag shot up with the velocity
of a ball shot from a cannon. Grace
fully the big balloon sailed toward
the clouds with the aeronaut clinging
to the rrail structure attached. Up
and up and still up the balloon sailed
until the man was mere speok in the
sky.
Then the parachute was cut away
and the big blue umbrella like cover
ing began to fill, and the descent was
gracefully made. The aeronaut landed
in the cornfeld north of the ball field,
while the collapsed balloon finally fell
in the Souder corntield, east of the
Deerfield pike.
It was thrilling exhibition and
was at once declared by everybody to
be the most important and successful
attraction ever made at the Park.

RECORD OF A TEST CAR.

lt will be recalled that quite recent.
~ there was slowly moving about over
the tracks of the Bridgeton and Mill
vile Traction Company, a strange.
green car. 1t was a natty looking af-
fair and attracted good deal of atten-
tion.
This was testing car sent here to
demonstrate just the condition of
affairs along the tracks of the COM
pany. 1t may be explained that one of
the rails of the road carry back the
electric current that is sent out from
the plant through the overhead feed
wires. To make the rails effectusl
in carrying electricity, they are joined
together at the joints by copper wire.
When one of these bonds, as they are
called, are loosened or becomes broken
much electricity is lost, leaking out
into the earth.
1t was for the purpose of demonstra-
ting just how much leakage there was
in the rails that the testing car was
brought here.
The car is equipped with brushes
that just touch the rails, and from
these brushes there are connections
leading up into an apparatus in the
car that automatically marks upon a
chart the exact voltage that is formed
in every inch of the rails.
The report of the testing car has
been compiled and sent to General
Manager Hires, and it shows that the
construction here is in very good con-
ditioE. There are upon the entire
system of the Company, in round
numbers, $4,000 joints which are
bounded by copper wire, of this number
few over 500 were shown by the test
ing car to be in bad condition. It may
be further explained, that these bonds
are on the inside of the rails beneath
the surface of the street, and thus
hidden from view. The testing cal
indicates by ohart just where the leak
ing joints can be found, and thus the
matter of repair becomes simple one
for the company.

EIGHTH INNING
RALLY WINS.

Bridgeton downed the Cuban Cham.
plons yesterday by fine batting rally
IN the eighth inning, when they scored
all three of their runs, and took the
game.
The Cubans had edged across two
earned runs and it locked as if they
were the winners, especially as it is a
we'll known Characteristic among
these teams, that when they are ahead
they Will work hard, and they surely
did after they scored their first run.
Bridgeton came to bat in the eighth
with the score two to nothing against
them. Lsntz, the first man up cracked
out liner over second, which was
the second hit for us; Kauffman's
single in the 9th being the only one
until that eighth. Shaffer's out put
Lantz on second and then Rowe sent
scoring our short-stop, "Red'' taking
second on the throw in. Reeder then
singled to centre, but Rowe was wisely
held at third, as the throw In was
perfect. The catcher then lined it to
third tv catch Rowe, and the latter
scored as the throw was very wild,
the left fielder then threw back to
third to catch Reeder, and as the
leather went to the stand, Reeder
scored.
The Clone Stars" got their first In
the second, Oh two hits and a stolen
base. Their run in the fourth was the
result of fuke bunt, steal, an ouv,
and the squeeze play on sacrifice.
The game was very interesting
one, and the Spanish talk of the
visitors was of constant amusement to
the spectators, as everything was said
in that language. The score:

gasoline stove, aud in few minutes
there was an explosion and the flames
shot up, enveloping the shed. Joseph

When the fire alarm first sounded
Chief Kinkle had the team of big
horses out jogging up Irving avenue.
He dashed them down to the fire
engine house where they were quickly
transferred to the engine and they
were rushed to the scene of the fire in
an incredibly short time.
Neighbors gathered and the goods OF
both sides of the house were soon got.

Eyesight is Probably Lost.

Former policeman George Parvin is
ABOUT to lose the sight of his other
eye. Parvin has been blind in one
eye since boyhood this was caused
by an injury. He has been employed
as a painter by Sharp Brothers since
leaving she police force, which was
several years ago, and the sight of his
other eye became SO impaired that last
Saturday a week ago he was compelled
to quit work.
Although not entirely blind there Is
no hope of regaining his sight and
eventually, there is no doubt but he
will be totally blind.

HOS LIouoR INDICTMENTS.

The license dvocates have told us
in large spread-agle advertisement
that in the year 1856, the year In
which they claim Delaware was under
a modified form Of prohibitory law
there were 702 indictments found
against offenders of all kinds. As all
of their previous statements have been
twisted, garbled or untrue, we imag-
ined something must be wrong with
their figures. We therefore have taken
the trouble of securing from Clerk Of
the Peace Quigley official certificates
showing the number OF indictments
found for offences against the liquor
laws and he has informed us by an
itemized statement that there were n
total of 594 Indictments connected with
liquor selling during that year, SO at
the May term of court, only Q per
sons being fined, and 500 at the No
Nember term of court, with only IL
persons fined, making a total of 20
persons fined for liquor selling that
year. Upon further Investigation IL
was found that of these 7O2 .ndict-
ments. 594 indictments were for viola
uons Of the prohibitory law, leaving a
balance OF los indictments for all other
offences. Upon still further examin-
ing the records, we find that all these
594 liquor indictments were found by
she attcroey-g general against 5S diff
ferent persons only. some having as
many as AZ indictments against them.
some 81, 46. 40. 80, 26 and so on.
These facts revealed peculiar state
Of affairs and upon further examina-
tiou, we found what we believe to be
the tue reason for the filing of the
indictments, namely that the attorney
general OF the state at that time was
permitted under the law to charge an
additional fee OF S2.4O for every in
dictment he entered against these Of
tenders. He seems TO have done al
that time land Office business In in
dictments, but very few prosecutions
followed, only 20 cases in all having
been prosecuted TO completion and The
other cases on the record having an
entry opposite them OF "nolle pros
meaning no prosecution.
