A resident of Oroville saw a balloon rise near that town on Christmas day. When it reached an altitude of several hundred feet it suddenly burst into flames, and the burning pieces dropped back to the earth. ‘The affair was reported to the Mercury, and an investigation was begun by a re- Porter. The following is the result of his labors, as published in that journal: In a ravine about three miles east of Oroville, in an old tumble-down cabin, for many years lived a peculiar character. He was a Malay, and was born on the shores of the Indian ocean. In his youth he was a sailor, and became an expert sailmaker. None of his companions could handle the needle and canvas more expertly than he. But when the news of the discovery of gold went around the globe this humble Malay sailor heard of it, and he boarded a vessel bound for the Golden Gate. It was in 1851 that the ship anchored at San Francisco, and the Malay, with several other sailors, deserted the craft and went inland to the gold fields. From this time on he was known, not by the name he had borne on his native penin- sula, but simply as “Pete,” being called that by the white miners, and as “Pete” we shall know him. For many years he mined in the vicinity ef Oroville, with varying success, but never accumulated the fortune he so much desired. It was his hope, through all these years, that he might return to his native shores to die. On this subject his mind tnally became weakened, and the more he thought of it the nearer seemed to come his native land, until finally he believed that could he only get across the range of hills to the east he would be at home. One day Pete came to Oroville and saw a balloon ascension. He studied its details, and then a great idea took possession of his poor, weakened mind. He would make a balloon and in it cross the range of hills and be at home again. That was three years ago, and ever since Pete has worked incessantly on his airship. What little gold dust he scratched out of the ravine he in- vested in canvas and thread. His old trade of sailmaking came in play, and this fall the great balloon was finished and lay a big shapeless bag at Pete's cabin. Then he made a furnace, and, unaided by any one, so far as known, arranged for filling it with hot air, as he had seen the aeronaut in Oroville. Instead of a parachute he rigged to the balloon a swinging chair, in which he proposed to ride across the range of hills—such a short distance he supposed —to the shores of the Indian ocean. On Christmas day all was ready. Pete knew nothing of Christmas, but it just happened that way. Early in the morning he started the fire in the furnace, and at noon the balloon was filled, and pulled and tugged at the single rope that held it. Poor | Pete was jubilant. He carefully locked his! cabin and took his seat in the chair, He never noticed that the wind was blowing in a direction that would carry him away from instead of across the range of hills. The poor fellow did not know either that when the air in the balloon began to cool he would be precipitated to certain death. So, when all was ready, he cut the ro and with a bound the huge balloon aros: to a great height. A current of air from the south struck it, and it floated rapidly to the north. The hot air cooled, and it hung over the Feather river. It was at this moment that it was observed. Un- known to poor Pete a spark from the fur- mace had caught the side of the canvas, and the flame was slowly consuming the cloth. Suddenly the whole top burst into fire, the sides fell down, enveloping the} Malay in their folds, and, like a shot, the) man and the burning fragments went down. This is the story of the mysterious bal- loon, as learned by the reporter. As no traces have been found, it is presumed that the remnants of the balloon and the body of the poor Malay, who longed through many years to see his native land, are in the rocky gorges of the Feather river. At any rate. the old cabin is deserted and lonely, the rude furnace stands as Pete left it, while strips of canvas and ropes tell the story of the years of toll by the poor de- mented sailor, whose longing for home caused his death. oo GLASS THAT RESISTS FIRE. Experiments With Various Materials Which Resulted Surprisingly. From the Scientific American. An interesting test of the fire-resisting materials and construction was recently carried out in Berlin, under the auspices of | the fire brigade and the insurance com- | panies of the city. The idea of the tests ‘was mooted as far back as 1889, but there was considerable difficulty in arranging for a series of “fires,” which were in- tended to be as “natural’’ as possible, and yet should not be dangerous. Finally, the municipality gave the experimenters the use of an old warehouse for their pur- pose, and this building having been fitted up to represent various types of fire-re- sisting structures, was duly set on fire. Care was taken to subject the exhibits to the temperatures, irregularities of heating, sudden shocks by falling weights or jets of | water, &c., which generally occur at con- flagrations, and it was found @ossible to take fairly exact observations. Among the | most satisfactory results obtained were with the fire-resisting glass made by Messrs. Siemens of Dresden. The assessors declare it to be most suitable for any sky- light or window necessary in a division between separate-risks, as it resist a temperature of 1,300 degrees C. for half an hour and more, bearing all manner of shocks and strains without suffering ap- preciable damage. Care is required in fixing the glass, how- ever, as the iron frames generally used for the purpose buckle under heat and show, between the glass and the iron, open- ings through which flame can pass. Some of the so-called fire-proof floors made of fron girders and concrete came to speedy | grief in these tests, while iron and brick floors stood very well, as did the “Monier” construction. As regards fire-proof doors, nothing stood better than double oak cov- ered with sheet iron, between which and the wood there should be a layer of asbes- tos cloth. Seeing how many warehouse fires are propagated through windows, the essors attach great importance to their demonstration of the capability of Siemens glass for withstanding flame. se Physiognomy. From the Detroit Tribune. “Do you approve of this museum busi- ness?" queried the man who had bought a photograph and biography. “Well, I give countenance to it, of course,” rejoined the dog-faced boy. 2 sae aod A prize fight was fought at Cherokee Park, near Nashville, Texas, Saturday.

Many Notable Entertainments Satur- day—Receptions, Luncheons, Teas, Dinners, &c.—Personals. Mrs. Gresham, wife of the Secretary of State, gave a luncheon today at the Ar- lington in honor of Mrs. Cleveland. The compeny sat about a prettily decorated table in the Gresham apartments. The center-piece was of maidenhair fern, studded with pink roses, flanked at either end by low silver cishes filled with pink carnations. The cloth was all strewn over with roses and asparagus. The ladies in- vited to meet Mrs. Cleveland were Miss Cleveland, Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Bissell, Lady Pauncefote, Mrs. Romero, Mrs. Yang Yu (wife of the Chinese minister), Mrs. Stew- art, Mrs. Washburn, Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Gray cf Delaware, Mrs. Leiter, Mrs. John M. Wilson, Mrs. Fuller (wife of Capt. Fuller), Mrs. Sicard and Miss Waller. The annual charity ball for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital will be given tomor- row night at the Rifles’ Hall and will be a notable event.

The square hull, and, in fact, each room, was a perfect bower of roses.

In the dining room a center piece of roses on the table reached up to garlands of roses hanging from the chandelier and made a beautiful effect. White lilacs, orchids other fine flowers were used as freely the finest roses in making this beautiful decoration. A supper of which every deli- cacy formed a part was served. The Misses Davis were assisted in their magnificent hospitality by their guests, Miss Louise Eustis of Philadelphia and Miss Duncan. A large company of agreeable people were present. Baron von Saurma, the German ambas- sador, entertained a large and distinguished compsny on Saturday night, in celebration of the birthday of Emperor William. The occasion had a wider significance also, it is said, in the mind of the host, as it expressed a gratification at the resump- tion of friendly feeling between the em- peror and Bismarck, as well as the house warming of the new embassy and the ele- vation of his office to that of an ambassa- dorship. The entire embassy was thrown i Wright, M. B., Penn., 1110 P ¥ 24s —_——. MONEY FOR THE POOR, Over $5,000 Collected by the Canvass- ing Committee.

In the little reception room tham- pagne and beer were rival attractions for the thirsty. The ambassador and all the members of the embassy wore their court dress.

The ball room is hung with Gobelin tapestries, and the entire effect is ne of exceeding elegance. Representative and Mrs. J. C.

Mrs. | Hvtcheson also introduced a novelty by |having a number of young ladies <o 1e- ceive in the ball room. Each carried a great bouquet of white carnations as ‘heir dis- tinguishing mark. They were the Misses Gorman, Miss Faulkner, Miss Pearson, Miss Lettie Scott, the Misses Wheeler, Miss Norris, Miss Hume, Miss McDonald, Miss Patterson, Miss Robbins, Miss Abbott, Miss Miller, Miss Crilly and Miss Rouche. The | decorations of the supper table were much | admired. They consisted of a great hatful of grapes, a wheelbarrow full of green limes, a green sleigh of snowballs and other pretty conceits in candy.

Charlie Mitchell and party were in Wash- ington on Saturday night. The escort to the pugilist comprised some of the best known sporting men of Great Britain and & number of New York newspaper friends. It was a jolly, good-humored, big-heartea and open-fisted crowd. Everybody was in a cheery mood, and nobody was down in the mouth. Of course, the boys might have been jollier had they been on the sunny side of the fight, but despite.Josses and re- verses, their countenances were bisected with broad-gauge smiles, and their clothes pa and a half, and proceeded to New York. There they will probably remain till they ge back to Florida next month to stan@ trial. On the way south it ix very probable that Mitchell will have a pillow and love- tap bout with Gentleman Jim before @ Washington audience. While here, they took supper and refreshed themselves with exilarating fluidities. Nobody in the crowa was half so tough as scores of met with in some parts of this city. The Ster man was very well satisfied with th® crowd, and that fixes their standing so far @s this city is concerned. Mitchell Described. Mitchell is a ‘right good fellow. No just judge of human nature would put him down as a bully or a bruiser. His accent has a flavor from across the sea, and he walks with a quick step and a heavy swing from his hips up, which on sundry occa- sions has been mistaken for a swaggering gait. He is apt to torture you somewhat when he shakes hands with you real earnestly, and your shoulder joint it creak just little, but all that goes. le is frank ana brusque, with a strong throat voice, bright eyes,a tanned and ruddy skin. Mr.Mitchell is quite a conversationalist. Peshaps his ut- terances at times have not been diplomatic, but The Star man found Charlie Mitcheli a first-rate fellow. He was not bunged up when he and The Star man smiled with each other. He has a red mark about the size of a silver quarter on his left cheek just under the eve.

Shortly after her mar-} riage she determined to see the world, and turned her husband into a traveller. With him she went to Philadelphia and lived there for a couple of years. Then she came to New York and remained there for some time, engaged in business. Next she turn- ed up in Buenos Ayres. It became too hot for here there, and she proceeded at once to Berlin, where she led a gay life and moved for a time in high society. From Berlin she went to live in London, and continued there her old style of life. At last her husband got tired of her and thought it was high time for him to go to California, or to South America, and keep himself beyond the reach of his fast and extravagant better half. This he did, and Mme. Gennot was good enough not to take the thing too much to heart. She reported that he was dead, and in 1880 returned to Paris, where she married M. Millescamps, @ well-to-do business man. In a short time she brought him to the verge of bank- ruptcy. But somehow or other she man- aged to get well off again. Just where her funds came trom remained a mystery. On coming down somewhat in funds again she started a store in the Rue de Bretagne, where she sold religious books, pictures and statuettes. As she was remarkable for her piety, good Christians patronized her, and for three years the business flourished. In 1884 M. Millescamps died suddenly, and some of the pious widow's neighbors were left under the impression that she facili- tated his departure for a better world. This suspicion, however, did not materialize. After the death of her husband No. 2 she carried on the business on her own account. In the evenings she received company. Her little salon was frequented by a cosmo- politan group. She was a linguist, a con- versationalist and an accomplished mu- sician. But, in addition to her religious estab- lishment, she carried on in another quarter of the city a matrimonial bureay and also a table-turning tabernacle, at Which she was always the leading spirit. In the art of teaching the tables how to dance and talk with their legs she had no equal in Paris. Wonderful stories are told of her interviews with the departed, and it is said, that many prominefit men, including Lord — (Owen Meredith”), often consulted er. After a time she abandoned the spirits and devoted herself to the more profitable business of espionage. According to a prom- inent man on the Paris police, women are at present in France the most numerous and the most active agents in this busi- ness. The police has its eye on many of them, but they are hard to catch. Mme. Millescamps’ nature was too bold and in- cautious to fit her for a long career in her new profession. She took large contracts and great risks, and was “pinched” at last.

Mr. Acker, the horse reporter of the New York World, said that the fight was all Tight, and the result was a foregone con- clusion from the moment the men appeared in the ring. Mitchell had been overmatched, Mr. Harding of the Police Gazette sald substantially the same thing. The party played poker pretty nearly all the way from the forests of orange bloom to the gray piains of concrete, and it is said that Mr. Acker realized a four-figure amount, After telling The Star man all he wanted te know the party left for New York. —— Two Socialist Leaders. From the London Daily News. Our Vienna correspondent reports that two female socialist orators were sentenced yesterday in Vienna-—Charlotte Glass to four months’ imprisonment, and Amelia Riba to a fortnight’s imprisonment. The first made offensive remarks about the archdukes, the second spoke slightingly of the legislative assembly. Our correspondent adds: Fraulein Glass spoke some time age ith great ability, from her point of view, at a woman's meeting in the open air, not |far from Schonbrunn. She is a comely young woman of twenty, of the Jewish | confession, and looked very enthustastiq jon that occasion in a sailor hat, her hait | blown about her face by the wind. She | was apparently so filled with hatred against every man and woman better off than her. self that it Ss easy to see that she could have gone on talking a, ast them fot hours. She considered no subject too tou —politics and political ecr>omy, the educa, tion of women, the an., expenses, th¢ liberal leaders and the president of the cabinet.
