Aeronaut’s Great Descent -with His Parachute from a Balloon. Professor Hogan made a magnificent leap from his balloon shortly afternoon at Jackson, Mich., April 4 The first attempt at an ascension was a failure, but the second was a success, and the airship soon reached a hight estimated at nearly 10,000 feet. At this elevation the balloon seemed to stand still, and by the aid of glasses Hogan could be seen edging over the side of the car. Suddenly a ciy went up “ He’s Jumped,” and the crowds craned their necks to see the man dash himself to pieces. The parachute failed to work at first, and tbe daring aeronaut was seen diving to the earth with lightning speed, A moment later the umbrella-shaped life preserver opened its wings and Hogan’s rapid descent was checked. Prom that point he dropped si3wly and reached the earth safely in four minutes at a point about one and one-half miles from the city. The foolhardy man dropped 500 feet before his parachute opened.

Rain began falling during the forenoon, accompanied by a mild east wind and a rather high temperature. More or less rain fell all day, coming in showers at times, and occasionally with heavy precipitation. At about half-past 5 p. m., during a heavy shower, a flash of lightn-ng was observed, which was soon followed by the rambling of thunder. From this time on for six or eight hours the storm continued With but slight interruption. From 8 o’clock until 9 the flashes of lightning were frequent and the thunder heavy, and at 8 38 there was a vivid flash fol lowed by a terrific jar which seemed to shake the whole town. At about 10 o’clock there was another heavy clap of thunder. More or less rain fell during the night, accompanied by occasional flashes of ligh t- ning. This morning the wind got around to the west, the rain bad ceased, and the weather was warmer than yesterday uali this afternoon, when it got colder. A ROCK ON THE TRACK.

The Neyer- sink is very high, and the Delaware is coming up all the tim?, having risen four feet since last night. On the Delaware division traffic last night was considerably interrupted by wash outs and othei difficult es. Between Rock Run and Hankins a huge rock fell down upon the west hound track, and for six hours trains had to be run around it. On the Buffalo branch of the road high waters have bothered travel very much, andl the seciion of train Four from that division did not arrive here until this afternoon. A MISSING GIRB FOUND. May Utter, the 14-year-old girl who dis appeared from her home near Greenwood Lake several months ago, has been seen in Paterson by a man who knew her. The man has written to tbe Warwick Dispodch stating where the girl may be found, and says she told him not to let he’ folks know where she was stopping. He adds that She is a “ b ird case.” The girl was last seen in company with George Hazen and Vernon Pitenger of Greenwood Lake, and there was an impression that they had abducted her, but from the above it would seem that she left home of her own ac- QPEN ON SATURDAY. tea t is oyer, and now the lovers of innocent aronsenients can enjoy ihem- selves, consequently the Assenjbiy R q ims will be opened Saturday evening for roller skating and dancing.

Two weeks ago last Saturday night Wil liam Stimson, who lived at Simpson, two miles north of Carbandale, was run over in the Brie Railway yard in the latter place and instantly killed. The following Tuesday his daughter Bessie, aged 17, went to Carbondale to make some purchases for her father’s funeral. She started for home on foot, in campany with another girl, who lives on the suburbs of Oatbrndale, They were overtaken by a young man in a carriage, and the Garb in dale girl says that he offered to give Bessie Stimaon a ride as far as her home, and she g at in the carriage and the man drove away. Miss Stimson did not reach home, and nothing has been seen or heard of her since. The Carbondale girl did not know the young man in the carriage.

Sharp, the A lleged Briber o f Aldermen and Begislators, D ies at 9.C0 a. m. H is System Unable to Stand the Strain to w h ich It has been Subjected—H is Faithful W ife at H is Bedside. Jacob Sharp died at his home, No. 354 West 231, St.,New York,at 9.20 Thursday p. m. The final struggle was a distressing one for the members of the family who witnessed it, for death came as a sequence to a violent fit of coughing and vomiting. Heart disease and heart sickness, diabetes and the dread pneumonia had done their combined work against which Mr. Sharp’s weakened vitality and his will, made valueless through delirium, no longer avail.'d him. When the final moment came Mrs. Sharp, his aged and ever-faithful wife, was at his side, and his two daughters, Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Selmes, were with him. Mr. Sharp had beSn sinking all day. He did not regain consciousness and had not recognized even his wife since late Monday night. Mr. Sharp was supposed to be worth several million dollars. Besides the house in which he died, the principal real prop erty now known to have belonged to him is his farm near Rome, N. Y., consisting of 640 acres. It was Mr. Sharp’s pride; it was well stocked, supplied with the most improved agricultural inplements and well fenced. Mrs. Sharp, her daugh ters, Mrs. Stevens of Rome, Mrs. Selmes, and George Sharp, the only child of Mr, Sharp’s son, who died some years ago, survive him. KUM AND OPIUM. Between the Two a Monroe Man Shuffles off this Mortal Coil. The Argua says that at an early hour Thursday moruiug, the dead body of Robert Mapes was found in the paint shops in Monroe, near where he lived. On his person were found a quart bottle that had contained cider, two half pint bottle?, which were rank with the odor of whisky, and two bottles labeled laudanum, all of which were eiRpty. Mapes had been a hard drinker for maty years, and has generally been known as a “ ne’er do well.” When he r^uid get money enough to buy liquor he would ge> drunk and remain so as long as money or credit lasted, and of late has been accus tomed to provide himself with laudanum to quiet his nerves when forced, from a lack of further supply of liquor to sober up, and S3 he has been on a spree for some time, it is supposed that when he had emptied all his aider and whisky bottles Wednesday night, he took an overdose of laudanum, which caused his death. It was at first repor<ed that he had committed suicide, but those who knew him best do not believe that he intended to end his life. Coroner DaGraw held an inquest, at which the above facts were elicited. Mapes was married, but his wife left him several years ago on account of his intemperate habits. RBQBABBE ENl? QE THjE I^TBIKE.

The closing act of the struggle, tbe abandonment of the “ Q” strike,prob ably will take place in a few days. The assertion that the raising o f the boycott was a shrewd move intended to cripple the Barlingtori receive^ no credit. Several roads have withheld freight from the Burlington for five weeks. Some believed tbe company would be compelled to handle this aggregation of freight within forty-eight hours. The develop meats of the past twenty-four hours con clusively prove that the scheme, if it ever existed, could not have been successfully executed. EXCISE COMMISSIONER RESIGNS.

Done by an Ice G o r g e -A Bridge W ashed A-way and N o thing Reft to Indicate Danger There—Horrible Scenes at the Wreck—A Train Plnnges Through to the W ater and A ll Its Cars are Snh- merged. N bwhampton , Iowa, April 5 —A terri ble accident occurred about four milea west of here on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, by which nine or ten persons perished and fifteen or twenty were injured. The train which left Chicago yesterday morning at 11 30 and was due here at 3.1S this morning passed here nearly on time, and when about four miles west plunged into a creek, the bridge over which was washed away. The creek was swollen by an immense volume of water which had been running for the past few days, and in addition an ice gorge was formed, which, previous to the arrival of the train, had carried away a portion of the bridge and left nothing to show there was danger ahead. The train plunged into the stream and three coaches were immediately submerged. A scene of the wildest confusion ensued, and those of the train crew and passengers who escaped death or injury were im mediately called into service to relieve the other passengers. It was with great dif ficulty that they could be reached, owing to the rushing of water through the car windows. Those rescued from the smok- iag car, which was almost entirely sub merged, were taken from the windows. dome were’maimed to such an extent that they were powerless to help them selves, and were nearly drowned before blip could reach them. At 11 o’clock tiis morning six dead bodies had been takin out from tiie wreck, and three more are known to be under the debris. la ad- JTion to passengers known to have been killed, from fifteen to twenty have been r -scued that are more or less seriously iih* A DELAWARE STEAMBOAT PROJECT. We learn from our Scroudaburg ex changes that a Mr. Ace intends running a steamboat from the Delaware Water Gap to Bushkill for the accommodation of the public. Why don’t some enterprising person start a like project here? The ex pense would not be muph for a boat to carry six or eight passengers and it would soon pay for itself. We saw a miniature steamboat at Harrisburg last summer, no; a great deal larger than an ordinary row boat, built by an ingenious mechanic, at a cost we would eslimate at not more than $100, and he did a lucrative business transporting passengers across the^Sus quehanna. Money could be coined m the .summer time here with a similar boat.— Milford Dispatch. A PROGRESSIVE W H4ST PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. E M.
