JOHN L. JONES. POLITICAL. The Prohibs, last week, named J. M. Caldwell of Northumberland for State Treasurer: A. Ricketts of Luzerne for Supreme Judge, and H. Robinson of Fayette for Superior Judge. The Republicans of Centre county sat down hard on their Love-ly, political, judge last Saturday, and routed the Quayites by a 4 to 1 vote. Senator W. J. Scott, of Lnzerne coun ty, who, like Senator Magee. support ed Quay until his election was deemed impossible and then switched to tbe op position ranks, declared that he does not believe that an extra session of the Legislature will be held. "An extra stssion would only empha size the deadlock," said he, "and could do Quay no good." When asked what he thought of Representative Bliss' statement regarding a change of senti ment toward Quay, Senator Scott said: "I do not agree with him. An ap parent change of sentiment may be noticed, but it is wholly due, I think, to the fact that the insurgent forces are making no contests this year. Next fall. I think, it will be found that a considerable element in every election district of the State is against Quay, enough to hold the balance of power. My idea is that Quay will never be re elected.'' ANDY CARNEUIE pleads for peace with the Filipinos. He says that Mc- Kinley's policy of subjugation is all wrong, and that we should promise them independence, and conciliate them as we did the Cubans. Parachute and Church Steeple. In Allegheny, Saturday, the parachute of the fellow who did the drop from a ballon act for the carnival caught on a high church steeple. The ballonist's name is Cassel,and he struck the steeple with his feet in hopes of throwing the parachute out from the projections of the steeple, but this had the opposite effect, for instead of drawing the para chute out it drew it in and the silk caught on the knobs which form part of the decoration on the great pinnacle. The wind had shifted to northeast in the lower stratum of air, and the silked folds of the parachute were soon wrap ped taut aronnd the steeple and Cassell was bobbing up and down like a jack in the box. Without the least hope of reaching the top of the gothic window, one of six in the highest portion of the steeple, Cassel gathered all his strength and swung for it. Luck was with him and he reached it in safety. Then he sat down upon the projection and laugh ingly kissea his hands to the anxious crowd which had assembled beneath the steeple. For over one hour he sat and the hot rays of the sun almost blistered his face and hands. It seemed as if no aid could reach him there, for not a ladder was long enough in the city. Even the im mense ladders of the fire department were too short by almost 100 feet. Mrs. Cassel. wife of the aeronaut, however, was equal to the occasion, aud as soon as she heard of her husband's accident rushed to the scene, as did William Hyde, Cassell's assistant. For some time they were puzzled. Finally a hap py thought struck Cassell. He took his Knife and cut a number of slender ropes from the parachute, tied them together, and foundtbey would reach the ground. Mrs. Cassell meanwhile sent Hyde to headquarters in the fair grounds and a strong hempen rope was brought. This she attached to the improvised life line of her husband and he pulled it up, made it tight about the projection on which he sat, and while the crowd trem bled and gazed with awe upon the scene he slid to the ground without the slight est injury, not even a scratch. Then the crowd cheered, but Cassell hurried to his headquarters. He was interested in the question of releasing the para chute and bringing it to the ground, for he was anxious to make another ascen sion that night, and the parachute was absolutely neoessary for the feat. He bad Director John A. Fairman send for Chief John K. Hunter, and when the latter arrived he laid his case before him. Hunter sent for No. 7 ladder truck and the ladders were sent up be side the church steeple to their full ex tent. But that was still 100 feet from the parachute. Cassel climbed up the ladder and caught the rope he had de scended on and then hand-over-hand he climbed the distance until he reached the dizzy height, whare he spent one hour before. Then with great calmness he straddled the projection and then stood up. For over twenty minutes he tugged with the impaled parachute and finally succeeded in tossing it to the ground. It required considerable nerve and an even balance for him to maintain his postion. When the parachute fell Cas sell dropped on his knees, put a slip knot in the rope on the pinnicale and slide to the ground amid the jpeatest cheers and and applause heard in Allegheny for years. Then giving the rope a quick jerk he released it from the projection and it fellt to the gronnd. It was the cleverest feat of the sort ever witnessed in Allegheny. "I have been in the business foryears, but never before have I landed on a church steeple. I have fallen on roofs, in trees, rivers and orchards, but the ex perience of this evening was the great est in my career. I did not los* pres ence of mind for a moment. If I had I would have been killed. When I struck the steeple I tried to make the best of it and I did. I admit it was exciting, but I was equal to the emergency and think I did the proper thing. If 1 could fix the parachute now I would make an other ascension. Scared? Not the least bit I would go up in a minute if I had a parachute." "I was certain Jack would not be in juredinthe least." said Mrs. Cassel. "When I heard he was on the steeple naturally I ran. but I was not the least afraid. He has been in so many close predicaments before that I am always certain he will get out safely." AT Salt Lake City last Thursday Judge Norrel fined Angus M. Cannon SIOO for praticing polygamy. Cannon is nearly old enough to know better— seventy. Sarver Station. Mrs. Weaver is visiting her daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. and Dr. J. L. Black.

The iuanagment of the Grand Opera House Pittsburg, has issued an official announcement for the coming season at that popular place of amusement. Throughout the entire prospectus there is the true ring of determination to make the Grand even more attractive than it has hitherto been. In connec tion with this place of amusement it may be said in all truth, that no house in the world devoted to the entertain ment of the public, gives anything like so much in quantity or in quality, as does the Grand. And this is said with out regard to the prices of admission which obtain in the various theatres throughout the country. The scale of prices at the Grand is so low as to be within the reach of all classes, yet at the same time the entertainments that are given by the great Stock Company, to say nothing of the attractiveness of. the famous vaudeville artists who ap pear every afternoon and evening pre ceediDg and following the performance of the Stock Company, will average l>et ter than can be seen in any theatre where the prices are double. This is a fact that is universally admitted, and it is undoubtedly the reason whj the Pitts burg Grand Opera House is always crowded to the walls. According to the policy of this man agment, an effort is made to make each succeeding season excel its predecessor in the ability of the actors and in the quality of the plays produced, as well as in the manner in which the plays are presented upon the stage. Next years company includes James E. Wilson, Thomas Ross, Robert Ranson, Joseph Woodburn. Alice Butler and Madge Carr Cook,all of whom were in last years company and the newcomers include Henritta Crossman. who will be re membered as the leading lady of the Avenue Theatre Stock Company three years ago. \Yllliani G. Beach who is widely known in Pittsburg, and several other distinguished players who are now being negotiated with. This is, indeed, a remarkably strong organization of players and it goes without saying that whatever they un dertake to do. will be done ma thorough ly masterly and praiseworthy manner. The season at the Grand Opera House will open on Monday afternoon, Septem ber 4th, with E. II Sot hern's greatest comedy drama success called "The Dancing Girl". Of course the opening will be a brilliant event, as it has al ways been at the Grand. But this year it will be even more so for more reasons than one. It will be called "Reception Week", by which is meant that after the performance every afternoon the ladies and gentleman of the Stock Com pany will hold a leception in the spa cious parlors of the Grand, where every body in attendance at the matinees may come in if they choose, and be person ally introduced to the players. This innovation has been made at the request of hundreds of patrons of the Grand who like to meet and know the popular members of the coinpanv, and it will no doubt prove mutual agreeable to the to the public and players alike. Special stress is placed on the fact that the opening of the advanced sale for the first week will occur in the Grrnd Opera House Parlors on Monday morning. July 81st at 10:00 o'clock. Great Year.
