Heading Tlii* Way.
Nkwnan, Ga., Nov. 27.—A mao, going
by the name of Powell, secured a livery
team and driver from W. F. Freeman, of
Cedartown, Ga.. last Friday, for the pur- i
pose, as he allegeo, of going into the |
country to purchase oxen to haul timber i
to his sawmill in that section. After |
leaving tuat town he wended his course !

his return, breaking the buggy down near
the Ctiattahooche river, on the line
of Carroll county, Siturday night, where
he borrowed a couple of saddles, mounted
the horses and made the boy accompany
him southward. Finally, on Monday, he j
deserted the boy, leaving him at a neigh- j
bor’s house five miles southeatof Newnan, i
where he stayed all night with a negro, i
sleeping in the same bed with the driver. j
He beat his way through the country to !
this place and left the boy among stran- |
gtrs without a cent to pay his
way, and without paying Mr. ,
Freeman for the use of his j
team, lie was met twenty miles south of ;
Newnan yesterday, going in che direction
of Columbus. Mr. Wilson, a liveryman of 1
this place, telegraphed the facts to Mr. j

back home. The boy said the man seemed
very anxious to get out of the country,and

The great ami leading attraction at Ex
position park yesterday was the thrilling
and exciting balloon ascension and daring
parachute jump by Professor Ralph Ad
ams, the famous aeronaut. It was I he j
night of a life time, and one of the most
'daring and astounding feats ever wit 1
nessea. The multitudes gazed in enthused
astonishment and rapturous wonder at
the young aeronaut, as, sailing in
mid-air, he performed tue most
exciting feats on the trap-ze. The grana
stand, the balconies of the main building
were crowded with enthusiastic and
t hrilltd spectators. Thousands, unable to
get a seat, lined the fencing around the
piarter stretch. It was a magnificent but
awful sight, and one ttiat ttie spectators
can never forget. It was a decided and
grand success, and the young hero, when
he returned to the grounds after a safe
descent, was lionized by the crowds.
About 2 o’clock in the afternoon the
manager, Mr. Ira N. Fisk, commenced
the work of inflating the monster balloon
with hot air. It is one hundred and
seventy five feet iu circumference aud over
seventy feet high. A huge parachute was
attached to tue base of the balloon, to
which the trapeze was attached. Wneu
the work of inti iting was completed, at a
given signal the cords were cut and away
went the balloon with Adam* hangiug
from the trapeze bar. The bal
loon took a northeasterly direction,
and it mounted the airy waves in mag
nificent form. It floated as gracefully as a
bird to a distance of over half a mile.
Vociferons cheers rent the air, and the
greatest and most thrilling excitement
prevailed on ail sides as the :eronaut per
formed on the trapeze during the ascen
sion. He hung by his toes and stood on
his bead. When a half a mile was reached
Adams cut the rope which attached
the parachute to the bailoon.
With the rapidity of a eaunon
ball he shot down through the air in
stantly a distance-of some 300 feet. The
crowd was seized with mdescricable as-
tonisument os they gazedat the grand and
weird scene. The parachute then flew
open, and the sight was a transcendently
grand one. With the appearance of a
small umbrella, it glided aud sailed
throu h the air in a downward course,
with tiie grace and ease of an eagle. Ad
ams managed it with the perfect skill ot
thv professional, and ae alighted safely in
au opm field beyond the colored cemetery,
about three-quarters of a mile from the
point ot ascent.
When the balloon was cut loose, it con
tinued to ascend several thousand teet.
Uuriously it chauged its course aud took an
exactly apposioe direction, southwesterly.
This was due to its striking au upper

our pleasure. It will be seen
farther that. the admittance fee
to all colored people will be reduced to
25 cents so as to allow the poor to see the
great sights. Believing, as we do, that the
foregoing will result in lasting good to the
colored people, and that the old and young
should go and hear the oration by Prof.
B. T. Harvey on the subject of the “Negro’s
Future Surmised,” and other grand things
to be seen at the Exposition grounds on
Friday, November 30, we ask most respect
fully that you will allow the colored public
schools to close on that day iu order that
all may attend. We are, very respectfully,

Columbus. Ga., Nov. 27, 1888.—Messrs j
Sim Griffin and others, Committee. Dear j
Sirs: Your letter received and noted, in I
whicu you petition the B i-ard of Trustees j
of the public school to give to the colored -
public schools Friday, November 28th, as !
a holiday for the purpose of attending the j
Exposition. The Board of Trustees have j
duly considered the matter. Tney believe
that a day spent ic viewing the splendid
exhibits at Exposition Park will be
of as much benefit to the :
children from au educational j
standpoint as a day in the school room, |
and they most cheerfully accede to the re- I
quest. It therefore gives me pleasure to
say that the colored public schools will be
closed on Friday, November 30th, for the
purpose of allowing the pupils to attend
the Exposition, aud we hope all the pu
pils and their parents will attend.
Yours etc., Jno. Peabody,
President.

Dublin, Nov. 27.—The report that a

enforce the commands contained in the
first rescr.pt, without alluding to the ex
istence of the second one. Bat this piaa
was spoiled through the indiscretion of a
servant of the Bishop of Limerick, who
divulged a part of the contents of the re
script. It is probable that the publica
tion of a part of the document will force
the Pope to reaffirm publicly his wishes
regarding Ireland.
