The unfortunate negro, Anthony Jor dan, who was taken up by a balloon at the exposition grounds last week and who had such a fearful fall, has been resting tolerably well since. The accident horri fied even the sensation-lovers. Jordan fell from a height of fifty feet, right among the crowd.

Had he done so, when he reached a certain point he would have cut the con necting line and both he and the female aeronaut would have fallen.- If he had not dropped at the time he did death was certain, since when the parachute is re leased the balloon is only a vast bag with no ropes by which to take a hold.
