By this time Mrs. Drinsmeado was
looking at me with Iwth fear and aston

clear of the front gate I think I would

THE KILLING OF GEN. JORDAN.
1 Violent M'lM, nnd tlio Sudden Death
Tlmt Overlook Mini Ht Uit.
A dramatic sequence of events lay be
hind the recent assassination of den.
Lopez Jordan in the streets of Buenos
Ayres. Jon'an was a violent, venture
some, unscrupulous man, w o had ox
perienced all the tips and downs of an
adventurer's career He was born in
Concepcion, Uruguay, iu 1822. Ho was
educated in tho Jesuit college, in Buenos
Ayres. and iu 1841 entered tho Argeir
tine army as a lieutenant. In tlio rovo
lutiotiiiry times of 18-19 he was command'
ant of his native town. He was unpop
ular, even among his own people. Ho
was quarrclnorno, imperious nnd Inso'
lent, and always ready to meet any re
sentment which his conduct excited with
a challenge to u duel. In tho disturb
ances of 185I he took sides with tho
tyrant Ilosas against the rebellious Gen.
Utiurila.
Under the protection of Ills chief ho
committed till sorts of misdeeds. His
most atrocious crime was the murder of
Maj. Casas. In the shadow of this crime
ho passed the last years of his life, and
in consequence of it ho met a violent
death. Casas was tho prefect of the city
of Pahnas. in tho province of Hntro Iiios.
He was a landed proprietor and a cattle
man of great wealth. In 1873 he mado
a trip through the province for tho pur
posoof selling 1,000 sheep and a largo
strip of woodland. In returning homo
with the proceeds of tho sales in his
pockets lie passed through the region
held by Jordan's troops. Jordan heard
of his presence, nnd ordered that he
should be arrested. It was done. Jor
dan received Casas in his tent, questioned
him as to his possessions, and then, with
out a word of accusation, complaint or
explanation, acommandcd that ho should
Iw executed. Casas was tied to a tree
and slaughtered like a sheep. Jordan
seized all the money found on tho dead
man's body, and afterward stripped his
victim's family of all their property.
Justice is pretty leaden footed iu tlio
Argentine Republic, especially when she
is after generals; nevertheless, sho be
gan to overhaul Jordan almost immedi
ately after tlio despoliation of tlio Ca
sases. One by ono his crimes were
turned against him until in 1S7S ho was
imprisoned in Parana on tho chargo of
murdering Cas;w and Gen. Urquiza, By
bribing the guards ho made Ids escape
from jail and left Parana iu the disguise
of a beggar on tho arm of his daughter.
Ho concealed himself over tho border for
ten years. After the amnesty of 1888 ho
returned to Buenos Ayres.
In the meantime tho young son of
Maj. Casas had becouio n man. Ho had
seen many black days since tho designa
tion of his family. His mother had died
of a broken heart, in extremo joverty.
On her deathbed she made him swear to
avenge his father's murder. A keen
strugglo with tho world to obtain food
and clothes for his sister and himself
kept this oath fresh in young Casas'
memory. He knew that Jordan would
come back to Buenos Ayres somo day,
and he watched carefully for news of
his return. A few weeks ago news of
Jordan's roappearanco camo to Monte
video, whero young Casas, as a reporter,
was milking ti fair living for his sister
and himself. Casas went at once to
Buenos Ayres.
Ono Saturday noon Gen. Lopez Jordan
stopped from his liouse into tho most
crowded street of Buenos Ayres for his
midday stroll. Somo hundred steps
from his door a young man sprang be
fore him and asked:
"Are vou Gen. Lopez Jordan?"
"Yes."
"I am Aurelio Casas, son of Maj.
Casas, whom you murdered sixteen
years ago. 1 am como to shoot you."
Gen. Jordan stood quite still and spoke
a few words of apology. Aurelio Casas
did not heed them. Ho motioned back
the gathering crowd, drew a revolver
and shot Gen. Jordan in tho throat. Gen.
Jordan did not move. Casas fired a sec
ond shot. It passed into Gen. Jordan's
heart, and lie fell dead to tho ground.
Some one shouted "Murder!"
"I am up murderer J" shouted back
Casas, who remained beside his victim's
body. "I have merely killed tho man
who killed my father." Then ho throw
down his revolver and walked away.
Subsequently he surrendered himself to
tho police. The body of Gen. Lopez Jor
dan was carried to his palace, which had
been built and furnished with tlio pro
ceeds of tlio crime just avenged. New

A FEMININE AERONAUT'S NERVE.
It Carried Her Surely Through a Period
of Awful Peril.
Fully 1,200 persons assembled at Jack
son Mount! park yesterday afternoon to
witness the balloon ascension and para
chute ump by Miss Dessa Garrett. Miss
Garrett is a small but compact and well
knit woman, and of light weight, and
this fact, as it proved later, saved her
from ti frightful fate.
At 5 o'clock the monster balloon was
fully inflated, and the eager throng of
sightseers mounted benches and tables
to get a good view of the start. The
ropes were released at a given signal
Professor Robinson cried "All ready I'
and up shot the aerial ship, with its oo
cupant hanging to the trapeze bar Up
went the balloon till, the aeronaut could
hardly lie distinguished, nnd n hush si t
tied on the crowd below as the awful
consequence of a fall from that dizzy
height presented itself to their minds.
Slany of thoso present had opera and
field glasses through which they viewed
every movement of the balloon and its
occupant.
A height of fully 5,000 feet was at
length attained and the balloon com
tnenced to slowly descend, and still Miss
Garrett did not make the leap. She was
seen to attempt to puil the parachute
toward her, but something was evidently
wrong. As the balloon descended the
parachute expanded, and when about
4,000 feet from terra firnia Miss Garrett
let go of the bar of the balloon and in
trusted herself to the parachute. The
latter, however, did not detach itself
from the balloon, and the two continued
slowly to descend. A few were heard
to remark when they saw the apparently
easy and safe descent, that it was done
by proarrangement, and that the aero
naut did uot intend to make tlio jump
when sho mado the ascent,
Such people nnd the crowd generally
were not. tiwaro that Miss Garrett was,
by very reason of the parachute not de
taching itself, in most deadly peril of
being dashed to atoms. Professor Rob
inson knew it, and his cheek blanched
ns he n waited the threatened catastrophe.
Mr. J. J. Ilogan was aware of it, and
went into tho ticket ofiico to avoid see
ing what he thought was inevitable. So
also did a few others who knew enough
of tho relation the parachute bore to the
balloon to bo aware of what result might
be expected.
Tho parachute is fastened with a cord
to the side of the balloon. In one place
the cord is almost cut in two, and when
the aoYonnut places his or her weight in
tho parachute the cord is broken at the
weak sjMit and the narachute is freed.
In yesterday's ascension t..e cord became
twisted, thus giving it double strength,
nnd when Miss Garrett swung out on the
parachute the jerk was insufficient to
part tlio line. It was at this juncture
that the danger was most imminent.
The cord being attached to tho side ol
the balloon tho weight on it caused it to
careen, and a pair of smoke was seen to
issue from it. It turned half over, but
no further. Had it turned a few feet
further, had the lady's weight been a few
pounds greater, it would havo capsized.
It was immediately over the para
chute; had it capsized it would havo col
lapsed, and its weight of liOO pounds
would have como down on tho para
chute, and in a few seconds later Miss
Garrett would have been dashed to the
earth. The danger was not over till the
balloonist was iu jumping distance of
tlio ground, but sho mado the descent in
perfect safety about a mile south of the
park.
Miss Garrett fully understood her aw
ful position as she hung suspended in
midair, uncertain at what moment she
would be dashed to pieces, but she is
true grit, and never faltered. She knew
that all she could do was to hang on nnd
hopo for the beat, and she hung on and
was saved where a weaker woman's
heart would havo failed her, and she
would have fainted and met nn awful
death, Memphis Avalanche.
