At about 11:30 last night during a lull in the thunder storm a bolt of lightning struck the barn in the rear of the premises ocoupied by W. D. Sloan, (of Sloan, Johmson & Co.) at the corner of Catherine and Mason streets. The structure instantly broke into flame and the tire was almost immediately communicated to the car- penter shop of George Woodard adjoin- ing. The fire made a great display against the low-hanging clouds and in the apprehension of a considerable con- flagration, a double alarm was turned in. The locality, lying as it does, two blocks west of Hanscome park is attainable only by way of Leav- enworth street, but was almost utterly inaccessable last night, owing to the heavy rain which had churned the un- paved roadway into an impassable strip of quagmire. Several pieces of appa- ratus responded to the alarm, but the new chemical engine was alone able to finish the trip and that after such painful and delaying efforts that the fire had burned itself out when the scene was reached. The remaining apparatus with- drew after sticking fast and falling into ruts a foew times. No.4 hose cart was pushed on, however, until within a half mile of the fire when the wheels sunk over the hubs and the floundering horses could move their load no more. The men and horses waded out, leave ing the truck until morning. Mr. Sloan’s barn was stored with a number of wagons and a large aquantity of furmiture and implements so that his loss will reach $3,000 covered by about $2,000 insurance. Woodard’s carpenter shop shared the total destruction entailing upon the owner an uninsured loss of about $5,000. Mr. Sloan'’s residence narrowly es- caped the flames and was saved only through the devoted etforts of his neigh- bors who faced both the fire and storm to form a bucket brigade. wherewith he hopes to show in midair not only his own shapely form, but the difference between luck—Baldwin—and science—his own achievements. Many others are engaged upon similar schemes, and there 15 sincere talk of founding a gnrmhnle club, some of the enthusiasts t-llavlnfi that parachuts will furnish eventually the first step toward aerial lo- comotion. But ‘‘parachuting’’ is by no means con- fined to the scientists and” oranks of the city. Every other boy in the city has the oraze, and 1t 18 no uncommon thing for a boy to jump from the roof of a piazza or an upper window by the aid of a hu, umbtella, which occasionally turns lnsifi: out and lets the youth down with a speed that is not enjoyed by by the infantile wmronaut. Then the oi.- have invented toy parachutes, some of paper, others of cloth. These are cought at the corners by strings which ~ converge to u small weight. By throwing them into the air they spread out and sail smoothly down, So general has this practice become that parachutes han on wires and trees all over the aty. Of course there have been numerous acci- dents and there will bumore broken limbs and heads befare the youth of the town emulate Baldwin. Perhaps before the surgeons cease reaping their harvest among the boys the undertakers will g}x|n reaping theirs among she adult para- chutists, Baldwin has been the lion of the day, week and month in Quiney, and is now in (,'hicnfio arranging for another jump to be n:ade here. lha Fourth of July plunge did him up for a week, for, al- though he appeared all right, he was dazed and so sore that locomotion was difficult. In tae meantime honors were flying in uvon him. Society friends dec- orated him with a medal, and others out- side the veil on Saturday presented him with another medal,- the size of a silver pad. This Iatter was studded with dia- monds, and in case of nccessity will be highly respected by his “‘uncle.” 1o cap the climax another “'set’ of friends on Thursday presented him with a check for $400. In presenting the money a prominent attorney of this city said among other things: *‘I'he most casual observer cannot fail to catch a glimpse of the great field of research and discovery lying in your pathway. The countless ships that shall sail with electric speed through the trackless air of the twentieth century, laden with human and commercial freight, may owe to the discovery of Thomas S. Baldwin the principles that shall insure their triumphant success. Their hosts of passengers may pursue their aerial voyages with the ever-present restful thought that Baldwin has pro- videa a safo descent to mother earth in times of accident or peril. No man who has given thought to the progress of Ehys cal science in our day can say with nowledge or truth that here or there is a point or line beyond which human in- genuity may not go. The limit may seem to be here or it may seem to be there, but it ever recedes with each new aiscovery, and beckons us onward, and I wuu"ubout to say upward, with Bald- win. THE G. A. R. REUNION.

Dr. Redding, who is a heavy-set, shrewd-looking, middle-aged man, braced back in his chair yesterday afternoon when talking to a reporter for the Mail and said: “I can recall Howard now just as he looked when I last saw him.

A Falling Timber, Yesterday morning sabout 11:30 Mrs. Alfred Sorenson, with her two little daughters, Blanche and Grace, narrowly escaped a serious accident while passing the New Byers building, corner of Doug- Ias and Fifteenth streets. When Mrs. Sorensonand children had nearly reached the north end of the hnunhng. & mason threw to the ground s pine board about nine feet in length.

Quincy, liL, Gone Dafr, or Nearly 8o, Over Baldwi Great Feat, Chicago Herald: Quincy is a veritable city of parachutes ever since Tom Bald- win made his great leap on the Fourth of July from a balloon at a height of 5,000 feet. Parachutes are in everything, even dangling from the telephone and tele- granh wires, new brands of goods are called *parachute,” and tne grand army of eranks is engaged in cudgelling their poor brains wherewith to cast Baldwin's unparalleled performance completely in the shade. A consumptive-looking black- smith, Bartholomew by name, is re- ported to have sold out his business m order to devote his time and means to the building of a balloon, from which he intends to jump at an altitude of two miles, as nearly as he can guess, A physician nam Honney has ulso caught the craze, and is now design- ing and constructing a balloon and para- chute, which are to be built, as he claims, on . strictly scientitic principles, sn the dead man was the far-famed desper- ado, but the prisoners insisted that the ofticers would find all the marks on his body to tally with the deseription sent out, the missing finger and the When the truth was known the w excitement prevailed in the city, Jumes broke down in the presence of the officers and said: ‘Yes, this man is Jesse James, my husband.’ Un- known men patrolled the town on horse- back durmF all that night, and a large force of ofticers guarded the jail in which the Ford's were. The next day the car- pet on which James was killed was cut into little chunks bf momento-hunters, and weeks afterward traveling men an theatrical people visited the house. The woman who owned the house kept it as a show, and charged 25 cents a head to show the room where the outlaw fell. She made a lot of money out of the show, James' friends would have killed the Fords if they had got at them, for the outlaw had many admirers among those southern people. James dressed In a neat business suit of clothes, and [ took him for a railroad conductor. One day I asked Mrs. James if her husband was not a railroad man, and she said: ‘No; we are here from the east looking for a farm; we expect to go into the cattle business.’ A peculiarity of the mun was that he went to Sunday school with his family every Sunday reg- ularly at a little Baptist church at the foot of the ll. Abbott, the horse breeder at St. Joseph, knew who Jesse Jumes was from the time he settled in St. Joseph. He frequently missed his fastest horse, but James left a sign telling him who had called for the ani- mal in the nights, James was with the Younger brothers when the seven made araid on the Northfield (Minn.) bunk and shot down the cashier in daylight. The citizens killed two of the dus’mrm 0es in the streets of the town, but Jesse and Frank James got away, mnkmfi their es cape into Missouri, where thes knew they were safe. ‘Ihe Younger brothers are now doing life sentences in the peniten tiary of Minnesota for that crime.
