| GALVESTON, Oct. ga Times special from
San Antonio says that General McKenzie's
regment-the Fourth Cavalry-has been or

troops is greatly regretted, as a large area of
the Mexican border is left unprotected, and

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-About half-past
three this afternoon, Professor Colgrove, the
aeronaut, and C. II. Williams, manager of
Woodward's Gardens, attempted to make a
balloon ascension from the gardens. The
wind was blowing almost a gale, and the bal
| loon seemed to be insufficiently inflated with
gas and rose heavily above the buildings of
the gardens. Soon after it dropped and scud-
ded along at low elevation, tearing away
telegraph wires in its flight. In Il moment
the bag ripped and the gas escaped with a roar
| which was heard several blocks away. Both
| occupants of the basket were thrown out,
| falling on Folsom street, between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth, The balloon came down a few
rods beyond. Great crowds from the gardens
and vicinity instantly collected and medical
assistance was summoned. Williams was
fearfully crushed about the face and head,
| and died in few moments. Colgrove's face
was somewhat bruised, but his injuries were
mostly internal Although alive at last ac-
| counts, he was insensible and not likely to
| survive. The disaster has caused consider
| able sensation, and many who frcIuented the
gardens assert that the balloon was badly
packed and unsafe at best. They express
surprise at Williams risking the ascension,
| especially in such hoisterous weather.
Lasr-Professor Colgrove has since died
| from his injuries. Professor Martin, an aero
| naut, and others wllo were present at the as
censon, begged Mr.. Williams not to 60 up,
saying that in half the gale that was blowing
| he was literally taking his life in his hands.
| The men fell about 200 feet. The balloon
rebounded after striking the telegraph wires,
| then struck chimney and again rebounded
| at which moment the aeronautS were thrown
| out.
