Paris, June 18.—A fatal balloon trip, resulting almost to a certainty in the lose of three livos occurred at Lsvillette yesterday afternoon. A, balloon containing a professional aeP onant and two other persons made an ascent about midday from Lavil lette,the aerial venture being watched by crowd 3of people. When the bal loon had reached a height of not more than sixty feet from the ground the aeronaut, who had been busih engaged about the outside of the car, was seen to suddenly lose his bal ance, he made a desperate effort to regain it and then fell whi ling to the earth. He was picked up so terri bly injured that it is said there is no prospect of saving his life. In the meanwhile the balloon and its wo remaining occupants, both of whom were utterally ignorant of the manner in which a balloon is han dled, mounted up higher and higher into the air, growing t 6 the sight flier until it was finally lost sight f entirely among the crowd. The government, officials here tele graphed to the prefects in the out tying departments to make all in quiries possible in regard to the fate of the two occupants of the balloon, but up to this nothing has been heard of their whereabouts. It is r e»red the balloon will ascend to a might that will canse its nnfortnnate occupants to be frozen to death, and that the balloon will soon after col lapse and its remains together with the bodies of the two unfortunates may find a resting place in the ocean.

RALEIGH. N. C., FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1891. A DEFICIENCY INSTEAD OF A CASH BALANCE IN THE TREASURY. An Unnsual Situation of Affairs In „ the Finances of the United States —sooo,ooo Deficiency. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, D. 0.. June 18 The Treasnry statement issued today shews that the cash balance is $44,- 415,000, of which *22',029,000 is on deposit with national banks, and $20,250,000 is in fractional silyer, deducting which items the net cash balance is bat $1,235,000, which is the lowest figure yet reached. It is said that the Treasury statement, to be issued tomorrow, will show a defi ciency of $600,000 instead of the usual net oash balance. This is the first time this has occurred since the present form of statement was adopted by Treasurer Jordan. In making this calculation, however, no account is taken of the $22,000,000 on deposit in national banks and $20,000,000 of fractional cnrrency in the Treasury. The expenditures so far this month have been $8,188,864 in excess of the entire revenues of the Govern-, meat daring the same period, amounting to $18,221,852. These were exceeded by the pension pay ments alone, which amounted to $lB,- 312,155. The treasury officials say that the expenditures during the re mainder of the month will be light and that the receipts will be suffi ciently heavy to overcome the pres ent excess of expenditures and leave a small surplus for the month. These same officials say that the Treasurer's statement tomorrow will not include the receipts during the past two days, and that if it did an actual surplus of $2,000,000 would be shown instead of the apparent defi ciency. A meeting of the Cabinet will be held on the 26th inst., for ihe purpose of considering the finan cial situation, especially with refer ence to the extension of the per cent loan, and the continued coinage of silver after the first proximo. The President and Secretary Foster have arranged.it so as to be in Wash iugton next Thursday. Secretary Foster in his speech wiitten for de livery at the Ohio Republican State Convention paid particular at tention to the silyer question and made a special point in regard to its comoga; calling attention to toe fact that after J uly Ist, next, it will be discretionary with the Secretary of the Treasury whether silver coinage shall be continued or not. A great many suggestions have been offered to the Secretary on this particular feature, indicating a strong senti ment against suspending silver coin aue on the date named; and it is within the range of probability that the coinage will be continued after J uly Ist, for a while, at least. A Saloon Keeper Hanged. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Bridgeport, Conn., June 18 Jacob Scheile a German Saloon keeper of New Canaan, Conn.,;; was hanged here today for the murder of Counstable Drucker of New Canaan.

Many cities and towns have frequent sales, and gen erally obtain better prices than are realized by private sale.

Tucker 4 Cq, Confederate Day at Wilson. Messenger. Yesterday waa a memorable day in the history of the thriving city of Wilson It was “Coufederafe Day," the occasion being a celebration of the completion of the foundation of «» monument to the Confederate dead, in rrocew of erection by tbo people r s Wilson county. T*e celebration was a fitting and grand one, a verita ble credit to Wilson, and fully in keeping with the hallowed memories and glorious heritage bequeathed to us by the heroes of the Lost Cause It was a celebration by a brave and chivalrous people, commemorating the valor and heroism of men whose like no oountry or age has produced. Wilmington sent up a delegation of about sixty of her cit'zens, in cluding the Wilmington Light In fantry, the Second Regiment Band and civilians. At Warsaw the Sampson Light In fantry, Capt. T. H. Patrick, joined "he party, and at Goldsboro, the Goldsboro Rifles, Capt. W. T. Dortch, came aboard and accom panied them to Wilion whore the train arrived at 12 30 p m. Several hundred people were at the depot, and the military were received by the Chief Marshal and his aids and by the Wilson Light Infantry, Cap\« W. P. Wootten, and the Rocky Mount Light Infantry, Capt. H. R. Thorp. After a short rest at the armory, the military were ordered to fall in, and were marched to the oki Masonic Hall, on the t hird story of the ltawl’s building, on North and Goldsboro streets. Here they were lerved with a magnificent banquet by the citizens and Wilson Light In fantry. The officers were bauqetted in an adjoining room on the same floor, and when the military had leen refreshed they formed a pro cession at 2:3® p. m., and were marched by wav of Nash and Tar boro street to Barnes street, where they received the Confederate vete rans and acted as their escort to Wilson tobacco warehou?e. Hero a ostrum had been erected for the ex rcises, and about 3,000 people filled he warehouse toils utmost capacity. Che Second Regiment band was placed in front of the rostrum, and apou it were seated Hon, Matt W. iiansom, orator of the occasion, Mayor George D. Green, J udge H. G. Conner, Col. C. B. Aycock, Capt W. C. Monroe, Capt. J. J. Hadley, Son. F. A Woodward, Capt. A. Branch, Rev. Dr. Carmichael, Rev. Mr. Battle and Rev. Mr. Moye, Col. W. C. Jones, Liout. Uol. J. F. and Adjutant Duval French. The assemblage was called to or der by Capt. Sam Ilodgwa, Chief Marshal, and the exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Carmichael, of Wilmington, chap lain of the Second Regiment. After music by the band, Capt. Hodges introduced Senator Ransom in a brief but happy manner as the orator of the day, allu ding to him as a soldier and states man. General Ransom was received with applause, and for an hour, notwith standing the fearful heat, ha deliv ered himself of an eloquent and pow erful speech in defense of the South and her principle?, and paying a classical tribute to the heroism, de votion and bravery of the Confede rate soldier. In his introduction General Ransom addressed the as semblage as “fcadies, Soldiers and Fellow Citizens," stating that he thanked them and felt giateful for the privilege of addressing them on this occasion. He remarked that dur ing the spring he had been solicited very many times to deliver addresses at school commencements and on other occasions, and he had to de cline owing to the requirements of his public and private duties. He added, however, that when he re ceived the invitation to tnke a part in this celebration, intended to do justice to the lives of those who died in defence of the country, he did not have it in his heart to refuse. He therefore came to Wilson to do what was his duty in aiding to perpetuate their memory. My cenntry men, said he, I wish I could reveal my emotions in this presence on the oc casion, which brings U 3 together here. I wish I could explain the emotions of my heart as 1 stand here thinking of from 25 to 28 years ago with all its defeats triumphs. After witnes iDg the fortitude and courage of the people of the South, he would never yet despair of the final triumph of the cf ohe South. Here come memories of the past, associa ions of the present and hope for the future. The hopo of the future was the perpetuation of 'be spirit and virtues of the people tho ! Confederacy. He did not doei- to j discuss the issues leading up to the war, but he wanted to speak on a line showing that the South wae justified in going to war. Then liberty and manhood Had been trampled upon and the South was hut following the example set by our forefathers of 1776. The people of the South imbibed that virtue from their forefathers, and as long as the people possess that virtue there is [hope for our beautiful land. We have much to he thankful for. No country on the fees of the earth ever set such an example as the South. Coming out of the war with hopes all blasted, homes ruined and for tunes gone, it was well to see what the South had accomplished. After four years of the da:keatand blood iest and longest war of modern times with improved implements of war, the South was now in t>ke possession lof and liberty. Thank God! Let me toll you what is the c|pP6 of this recreation. It is theavirtue, the for titude at d high facllties of intel lect under the blessings of God achieved this victory. No oountry under the sun, no country on the earth or uudor the heavens had made such a history as tbo Southern peo ple in war and in peace. It is a joy to b« among such' a people, and he was p”Ou<l to bo one cf snch a peo ple. Hi pleaded that the virtues amt fortitude of the fathers be in e til led into their sons, and he be lieved tho future of this Republic would be safe as long as this virtue was maintained. 1 Gen Ransom urged as the duty of the Southern now the duty of truth—the truth of history. He be lisved history would vindicate the South, and that future generations co'ild read impartial history and award to t.he South all that belongs to her in the struggle with the North. Gm Ransom then sta cd that he desired oj; ale a few f iinplo words to vindicate tte South’s carnage, and he coi.t ar ed the armies of the sections. Q*inf ; nr # rcm Spofford’s statistical aim;*.; >c, he taid that the North had 2,859.122 in tho field while the beat estimate gave Dio South 600 000, and the most zealous write»» of ■ho N -rth put it up <0 700,000 Tbe papula"i-m of the 'States m -->r *ifch L ie South at that time wav 22.000,000 while the South at tfe« .. imo a, 8.7 LO,COO.

O oGirr hsnd the N rhn put in their hand, and besides 3,800,000 people in the border S ates aided with the work, giving ftp m a oal population of 26,000,000. Besides this the North received from the entire world, and had ah + he reasons for carrying on lie war. while the South had no uo founderies, no factories, to arsenals, and yet it took the North four years to put an end to the war. Y hi "then General Grant had even ice’ ue<'. to Lincoln he oould never co qut r he South so long as the tomes vxcr.anged men, and one year iei .it he war closed theae was no ixaiar gb. ’ The North had many nor* . .-ju'ubrs than the South, and there wire 186,000 colored soldiers an!i»tel, and yet with one-fifth of tbe men that the Federal army con tained, vhe South won four-fifths of the -v> ions, until the States were final iy overrnn ny the millions of men, against whom there was no army to stem tho tide. Gen. Ranzora touched on many in tarosdeg points, but time will not permit a? to mention them is this hurriedly prepared artioie. He con cludes by fcpcaking of the part North Carolina took in the war, stating that of the 600,000 men furnished to the Southern armies, North Oaro olina furnished 125,000, or about one-fuili, while she lost more in killed than any other State. Ho al luded to the distinguished sons Noith Carolina furnished to the war and made several allusions to those present, reminding Capt. W. R. Ke nan cf his gallantry in battle and paying a high compliment to the valor of North Carolina troops. At the conclusion of Gen. Ran dom’s sperch he urged North Caro lina to foTow the example cf virtue spoken of, and received rounds of applause and congratulations. The Second Regiment Band then discoursed tome fine music and were rapturously applauded for their fine playing. The assemblage then dis persed, and the troops marched to the depot where the five military companies engaged in dress parade uoder c mine-nd of Col. Jones.
