four hours.

11ALDWIN MAKES AMCTITRS LEAP.
Rockaway Reach, N. Y., Aug. 9. Prof.
Thomas S. Baldwin, of San Francisco,
this afternoon successfully repeated his
eat of jumping from a balloon in mid
air to the earth by the aid of his patent
parachute. At least 30,000 persons wit
nessed the jump. His fall is estimated
at 1,100 feet, occupying one minute and
wenty-four seconds, and he landed in
shallow water in the Bay.
BUFFALO BILL 8 RIB BOAST.
London. Aug. 9. Buffalo Bill's rib
roast dinner was a grand success and it is
the talk of the town. The speeches of
Mr. Chauncey M. Depew and Mr. L.
Jerome were very happy, and the latter's
remark that lie and Mr. Depew were in
jondon on similar errands raising loan9
convulsed th company with laughter.
Simon Cameron was in almost boyish
spirits and enjoyed the affair immensely.
BOUJID FOR BULGARIA.
London, Aug. 9. Prince Ferdinand
eft Vienna for Bulgaria by permission
of the emperor Francis Joseph, and with
the assurance that he would certainly re
ceive the moral and possibly the physical
support of Europe, with the exception of
tussia and France and of course lurkey,
and his presence at Turosverin tomorrow
will be a signal for a series of complica
tions, even if he does net receive the sup
port of Austria, Germany, England and
Italy.
ou. for rain!
Chicago, 111.. Aug. 9. Telegrams re
ceived this morning from central points
throughout the entire 75,000 square miles
of the drouth stricken Northwestern
country shows that the fearful sun scorch-
in t of all vegetation continues unabated.
Not a drop of rain has fallen except 8-100
of an inch at Dea Moines, a bare sprinkle
on the dust. Local observations in vari
ous districts give but little hope of a
break within the coming twenty-four
hours. A trifle cooler weather and scat
tered litfbt showers are expected in some
places, but the conditions are such that
if the possible little moisture and cool
ness are at all delayed their effect will be
totally lost in the seeming imminent 1
further general rise of temperature from
end to end of the drouth region.
ONE OP THE CAPTURED HOUSE THIEVES
PROPOSES TO GIVE THE GAHG AW AT.
St. Joseph, Ho., Aug., 9. Harrington
Stone, one of the horse thieves who par
ticipated in the killing of Constable De
Long, said to the reporter that in North
west Missouri there was a gang of horse
thieves, thirty-five in number, that had
successfully robbed throughout that sec
tion and southern Iowa for the past four
vears. Stone declares his intention of
turning states evidence, and giving the
entire band away. Redding, the other
thief, was foolhardy enough to write a
letter to Con Franklin, one of the leaders
of the gang at Quitman, Mo., to-day, and
asked him to mail it. That official put
it in his pocket, and Franklin will be
somewhat surprised to-morrow when he
is awakened bv a sheriffs posse. The
officials say they will capture them at all
hazzards.
A WAR ON WHISKKT.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 9. There is a pro
hibition war at Alliance, Ohio. This
was one of the big towns of the State to
vote for local option under the Dow law.
The saloons were voted out several
months ago. and the energy of the entire
police force since has been inadequate t
. .... - --r
the enforcement of the ordinance. u-
merons heavv fines and iail sentences
have been imposed upon the saloonists,
but they continued to violate the ordin
ance. Last week a temperance demon
stration was held and the liquor dealers
attempted to counteract its effect by giv
ing away beer and whiskey in the streets to
all who asked for it. Several minors
were among those who drank and to-day
six of the saloon keepers who gave liquor
away were arrested. Upon being released
four of them went to the depot and mis.
taking a stranger whom they saw there
for one of the detectives who assisted in
the prosecution they set upon and beat
him unmercifully. They were arrested

THE STATE FAIR.
Preparations Steadily Going For
ward for a Grand Fair and
Exposition.
We are reminded that the annual fair
and exDosition of the Nebraska state
board of Agriculture, held at Lincoln,
commencing September 9th and continu
ing to the 10th. is near at hand, by the
brilliant and exceedingly attractive chro-
mo hangers found everywhere. Ihe sec-
retarv's office shows a large increase in
the applications for space, privileges.
stock 6talls and pens. The mail matter is
immense. The work of improvements
going on at the grounds show the man
agement alive to the demands of the fair
going public, The Jebrasica state iair is
now recognized the world over, if not
heading the list in the United States, at
least abreast of the oldest and best, and
as the centre of the great live stock inter
esta in the west. Herds of improved cat
tle, studs of all classes of horses, flocks of
the best sheep, and pens of the best swine
from all the great breeding grounds oi
the west, the best speed horses in the
country, and all the implement manufac
turers have already applied for ana secur
ed accommodations. All feel that to
keep up with the times, sell and make
purchases to advantage, they must make
exhibits, and that too where they will be
seen and their merits examined. Ihe
people come to see the improvements; the
progressive men of the community attend,
in fact, cannot afford to stay away,- and
the state fair is doing more good for the
industrial community than any other in
fluence. The great masses, young and
old. understand this, that the Nebraska
state fair is the grand gala day, and they
are all going to attend.
The Lake Manawa Disaster.
There was a 'disastrous wreck of a
steamer on Lake Manawa, Council Bluff s'
pleasure resort, Thursday night of last
week. The season being in its height
the lake w- s crowded with parties seek
ing pleasure and amusement. The beach
is on the opposite side from the one near
est Council Bluffs and it i3 customary for
visitors to drive to the shore nearest the
city and take a Itoat to cross to the bath
ing beach. When the storm came up
the beach was crowded with parties who
were unable to find sufficient shelter in
the bathincr houses and restaurants, land
besides were desirous of getting convey
ances back to the city, which could only
be found at the opposite landing. The
storm lashed the usually smooth surface
of the lake into such angry looking
waves it was some time before a boat
could be found willing to cross, finally
the steamer Manawa crossed over from
the landing and prepared to return, it
was immediately filled with a heavy load,
largely of Omaha parties. It only got
out some 200 yards when the water com-
ino over one side of the boat caused a
r
rush for tli3 other which over balanced
it so that almost without warning it dis
aDDeared below the surface". Their cries
small boats were soon on their way to
the rescue. Some were found in the wa
ter swimming to shore, but the larger
number were found on top the canvas
cover of the boat, holding on to the
smoke stack, flag staiT and other projec
tions for support. All that could be
found were carried ashore, but three
were missing, two were from Omaha and
were Messrs. Joseph Newman and Charles
W. Cartwright, the third was Charles II.
Ferson, of Council Bluffs. Messrs. ISew-
man and Cartwright were both young un
married men. Mr. Newman bing a sou
of B. Newman, an Omahw clothier, who
at one time did business in Plattsmouth.
Mr. Ferson was cashier of the Council
Bluffs gas company, aged about 30, was
married and had one child. He was very
popular among his acquaintances. The
sad affair is more keenly felt perhaps
than any accident that has ever happened
in the Bluffs. The lake was dragged
and the three bodies found all within a
short distance of the boat. It is thought
they must have been seized with cramps,
as Ferson in particular was an excellent
swimmer anil ordinarily could nave
reached shore with ease.
General Grant on tho Tormi at
Vicksburg.
In the August Century is printed for
the first time a letter by General Grant
on the above topic, from which the fol
lowing is an extract: General Pcmberton
being a northern man commanding a
southern army, was not at the same liber
ty to surrender an army that a mnn of
southern birth would be. In adversity
or defeat he became ail object of suspic
ion, and felt it. Bowen was a southern
man all over, and knew the garrison at
Vicksburg had to surrender or be captur
ed, and knew it was best to stop further
effusion of blood by surrendering. He
did all he could to bring about that re
sult. Pcmberton is mistaken in several points.
It was Bowen that proposed that he and
and A. J. Smith should talk over the
matter of surrender and submit their views.
Neither Pcmberton nor I objected; but
we were not willing to commit ourselves
to accepting such terms as they might
propose. In a short time those officers
returned. Bowen acted as spokesman.
What he said was substantially this: The
Confederate Army was to be permitted
to march out with the honors
of war, carrying with them their arms,
colors, and field batteries. The National
troops were then to march in and occupy
the city, and retain the siege guns, small
arms not in the hands of the men, all
public poperty remaining. Of course, I
rejected the terms at once. I did agree
however, before we seperated, to write
Pemberton what terms I would give.
The correspondence is public and speaks
for itself. I held no council of war.
Hostilities having ceased, officers and
men soon became acquainted with the
roasonjwhy. Curiosity led officers of rank
most all the general officers to visit my
headquarters with the hope of getting
some news. I talked with them very free
ly about the meeting between General
Pemberton and myself, our correspond
ence, etc. But in no sense was it a coun
cil of war. I was very glad to give the
garrison of Vicksburg the terms I did.
There was a cartel in existence at that time
which required either party to exchange
or parole all prisoners either at Vicksburg
or at a rtoint on the James River within
i
ten days after capture or as soon there
after as practicable. This would use all
the transportation we had for a month
The men had behaved so well that I did
not want to humiliate them. I believed
that consideration for their feelings would
make them less daug3rou3 foes during
the continuance of hostilities, and better
citizens after the war was over.
