In htountain's Death.

fSbecial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.i
DETROIT, July 6-Mail reports give some
Interesting details of the fatal accident to
tho aeronaut La Mountain, at !onia, last
Friday. His balloon was what is known as
q hotair one, and was simply filed with
rarified air, and not gas. The canvas had
somewhat of a worn appearance, as II the
worse for being filed with heated air too
often. At the summit, where the canvas
was sewn together, o block some ten or
twelve inches in diameter was fastened,
and through hole in this six guy ropes
were secured, hanging down over the sides
Of the balloon, being at the bottom some
seventeen feet apart, and these were tied
to tho basket by the professor himself.
There were no ropes running around the
balloon horizontally to keep the guy ropes
from slipping, or to prevent the whole
thing from sliding out between the ropes
with gust of wind.
At 3:55 P. NJ. the professor stepped into
the basket, and the balloon took shoot up
almost perpendicularly, with the professor
swinging his hat to the crowd, all appa-
rently enjoying the sight. In a few mo-
ments more, however, the mouth OF the
balloon was observed to wave about two or
three times. then to pass between the ropes,
careening over on the side, when the ropes
broke out from their fastening at the top,
and the fall commenced. La Mountain was
noticed to be apparently making some effort
TO get the basket above him, and, IT posi-
BILE, to break the fall, but after the first
struggle he fell SO rapidly that nothing
could be distinguished but the falling body,
his hat coming after him, about 100 feet or
snore behind, the old canvas, nearly COL
lspsed, falling dawn gradually.
The body struck the ground half dozen
feet from the corner of the Jail building. 1t
struck with such terrible thud that it
Jared the ground for fifty rods around,
and made an indention in the solid ground
eight inces IN depth. There was scarcely q
bone in the whole body not broken into
fragments. 1t was as limp as rag. There
were very few fractures of the skin, except
the right foot, the bone of the right leg be-
ing driven through the bottom Of the foot
The BODY was laid out on q couch, q cir
Gle formed, and a procession OF all who
wished 20 view the remains passed around
The professor is brother of the celebrated
neronaut who died two or three years ago.
This ones name was Edward La Mountain
He was jeweler by trade. and lived at
Brooklyn, in this State. He had said just
before he went up that he wished to take
the train for home as soon as possible after
coming down, as his wife was very sick.
He himself had not had his clothes OF for
ten days.
There were from 10000 TO 1900 people
who witnessed this horrible tragedy. He
was seen by people four miles from the
city at an angle of thirty five degrees. The
best estimates make the height from which
he fell from 1000 to 1900 feet. Those who
were on the hill back of the town said the
strangest sight was to witness the people
swaying back and forward like field OF
wheat moved by the wind.
