The mncli talked o leap from a balloon was made by Prof. Thomas S. Baldwin at the fair grounds near this city to day. Over 20,000 people witnessed the performance, which was very daring. The balloon ascended to a height cf one mile, and then holding firmly to his parachute Prof. Baldwin launched himself into space. The parachute was about eighteen feet in diameter and made of chords and strong silk. When the jump was made it was closed, and for the first 200 feet the aeronaut dopped like a rook; then, as the parachute expand ed, the descent became less rapid and his strange apparatus floated steadily down like a bird. It was a grand sight. The descent was accomplished in 3 minutes and 20 seconds, Bald win struck the ground with some force but not enough to injure him. The ascent varied about a quarter of a mile from the vertical, and the pro fessor struck the ground about a mile and a half from where the ascent was made. His attempt to collapse the balloon when jumping failed, and it soared away skywards when re lieved of his weight. Baldwin is a native of Quincy, and 26 years old. He was for a number of years en gaged in -the newspaper business. Here for the last few years he has been studying athletics and balloon ing. He made a similar leap in Cali fornian last winter, the distance be ing 1,000 feet. TWEKTr-FOUR VEAB3 AFTER. Geittsburg, Pa., July 5. Yester day from early morning was devoted to a general celebration by old sol diers and friends. After a meeting at whipb members of Piokett's Tamous brigade passed resolutions thanking everybody for their kind reception, a procession was formed. As it started off ex-TJniou and ex-Confederate sol diers linked arms. Whole carriages were taken and the party proceeded to the battlefield. Mrs. Gen. Pickett and her son, George, Mrs. Charles Barnes, wife of the commander of the Philadelphia brigade, and Col. Bach elder, halted in the woods where Gen. Pickett had formed his division be fore the eventful charge in July, '63. Here Mrs. Piokett held a reception and snook hands with and spoke kind words to all who came. After thiB the party proceeded to view all spots of historical interest on the field of the great battle. Gen. Pickett's men were immesely pleased with the fra ternal greeting they have met with on all sides. In the evening religious services were held, and afterwards Mrs. Piokett held a reoeptidn at head quarters. THEY CALLED ON JEFF. DAVIS. New Orleans, July 5. The Conti nental Guards went on a picnic to Beauvoir, MisB., to-day, and in a body called on Jeff. Davis. Capt. Brown made an address referring to "the day we celebrate," and mentioned the fact that the membership of the guards was composed of wearers of both the blue and the gray. He in vited Jeff. Davis and family to join the picnic. Davis replied in a kindly manner and said that their uniforms carried him back to the times "when our people made sacrifices of blood and treasure for a cause that was dear to them. We may not dwell on the subject, but cannot avoid remind ing you that men of this generation through four years of strife and sac rifice sought to maintain the great principles of the declaration of inde pendence and the constitution of the United States. These things belong to the past. I do not seek to revive them beyond pointing out that you fought for the right and to let your children tnow that their fathers were neither rebels nor traitors." well: what of it? Pueblo, Col., July 5. In reference to the sensational telegram sent by the associated press from Chicago last Sunday, about Mrs. Brooks and her story of "imprisonment and ex tortion," there is nothing whatever to justify or corrobrate it. Dr. Tombs, who has been superintendent of the state insane asylum of Colo rado ever since it was started, says there has never been a child born at the asylum, and that the woman was never there, though in her previous story she claims to have been con fined in the lunatic asylum. It is not believed horelthat the woman was ever in Pueblo. A RAILROAD INQUIRY. St. Joseph, Mo., July 5. The Pa cific railroad commission arrived here this evening and examined several witnesses. Testimony was also taken to-day at Grand Island and Lincoln, Nebraska. The burden of the testi mony at Lincoln was to the effect that the Union Pacific discriminated against that city in favor of Omaha, especially on California products. A TERRIBLE CASUALTY. Cincinnati, July 5. The immense brick malthouse of the Webbery Brewery company was burned to the ground last night. Seven adjacent buildings were badly damaged, and the losses will aggregate 160,000. Nicholas Rose was crushed to death by a falling wall. An unknown man, supposed to be an employe of the malt house, fell from the fourth story roof next door and was killed. Joe Gardner received fatal injuries in a similar manner. Several firemen re ceived painful injuries and it is feared that more bodies will be found in the ruins. RODE IN AND RODE BACK.

The Burn side monument was unveiled here yesterday. The day was fair al though very warm. The entire mili tia of the state had been ordered out by the governor and together with the local and visiting grand army posts formed a procession which was one hour and ten minutes in passing a given point. Generals Sherman and Greeley and Governors Davis and Lounsberry headed the proces sion in carriages. At the statue the governor made a brief address, and after prayer Gen. Lewis Richmond, of Burnside's staff, unveiled "the statue. The work, which is an equestrian figure, is of bronza and stands on a granite pedestal sixteen feet high and is one and a half times life size. The aim was to represent the general as he appeared in the field. At noon last Sunday, boat No. di. of the L X. L. Packing company, off Tongue Point, picked up tho body of o man apparently in the water three or four months. It had on red un derclothes, wide striped black diago nal pants, fancy pleated overshirt, blue beaver vest bound with braid, check coat The right leg was gone, below the knee, the flesh was partly gene: in one pocket was a paper con taining some fish hoeks: in another an advertisement of a Portland hos pital.
