BALL0ONING IN JAVA.

An Englishman who Is touring Java
giving balloon performances with a
parachute and trapeze went through
a thrilling adventure recently at a
place called Pau. A native holding
one of the ropes failed to let it go
when the balloon went up with the
aeronaut, and was carried along. AS
he swung on the rope at great height
within view of the horror.strickcn
spectators, the aeronaut lowered him.
self down the rope until he could hold
the native fast with his feet, and
then lifted him till he could grab him
with one hand. He then pulled the
man up to the trapeze. The native,
half dead from terror, then did his
best to throw the aeronaut from the
trapeze in order to have the seat all
to himself The aeronaut never lost
hold of the fellow, who, all the while,
kept on clawing and biting him. This
went on for fully 45 minutes until 1t
was safe for the aernonaut to come
down with his unwilling companion on

NOTED CIVIL WAR HERO DEAD
Gen. Gilman, Who Ordered First Shot
Fired in Big Strife, Expires
Aged 79.

Gen. jeremiah H. Gilman, U. S. A.,
retired, who was credited with having
ordered the first rifle shot fired in the
civil war, died recently at Manhattan
Beach, N. Y, after an illness of two
months. He was rs years old.
Gen. Gilman was graduated from
West Point in 1856. On the outbreak
of the civil war, Lieut.. Gilman. with
Lieut.. Slemmer and 20 soldiers be-
longing to Company G of the First
United States artillery, held Fort
Pickens, which was located on an is
land and commanded the entrance to
the harbor of Pensacola, Fla.
1t is asserted that the first rifle
shot in the war was fired by Lieut..
Gilman's order when seven confeder-
ate soldiers tried to pass the pickets
at night and failed.
Later Fort Sumter fell, but Fort
Pickens held out, although 1t was
stormed by 5000 confederates, until
reinforcements arrived by the fleet
from New York The union admiral
and navy yard at Pensaloca surren-
dered to Gen. Bragg, but it was of no
use to the confederate army because
Fort Pickens commanded the en-
trance to the harbor and was the only
fortification south of Mason and Dix
on's line that did not surrender.
President Lincoln appointed Capt.
Gilman chief of the United States ar
tillery of the Army of the Cumber-
land, with which he took part in most
of the leading battles of the war. At
the battle of Pittsburg Landing he
was wounded in the leg and brevetted
major and afterward colonel.
Upon the wars close, Col Gilman
was appointed assistant commissary
general at Washington and served for
many years, until he was retired. un-
der the age limit, November IL, 1895.
