Terrible Balloon Accident.
S. =, Post, Oct. G.

Professor Colgrove. the aeronaut, at
tempted a balloon ascension yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock at Woodward's
Gardens. accompanied by Charles Il.
Williams, the manager OF amusemsnts
at the gardens. The wind had been
blowing o gale all day. and the friends
OF both men urged them to give up the
trip o. extra hazardous. Neither, how.
ever, would be influenced. and there
were many who witnessed the prepars-
tons for the departure with the strong.
est forebodings OF evil. Mr.. Williams
was q very heavy man, weighing over
200 pounds, and the balloon was Of Q
capacity to carry but two bags Of ballast
besides the occupants Of the basket.
Everything being ready. the balloon
was cast Of, and as IL arose II sagged
heavily toward the monksy.shsds, but
rose Just in time to escape them and
swept slantingly toward the northeast.
barely missing the smaller Of the two
windwills on the eastern sheds. It
passed over In the direction OF the Mis-.
sion Wooden Mills, and presently the
cry was raised that the balloon had col.
lspsed and the men were thrown out.
The crowd rushed to that locality and
found the men lying in the street crushed
and bleeding. Williams being dead, but
Colgrovo still breathing.
Charles Eastwood, who witnessed the
accident from the top Of the Pavilion,
says that the balloon seemed not to be
properly ballasted, and went up and
down, diving something after the man.
ner Of an Unbalanced kite. This caused
it to catch In the telegraph wires, which
1t tore down, and In the collision the
basket was partially overturned. As
soon as 1t was freed from the wires the
balloon shot up into the air, Colgrove
and Williams holding on to the ropes.
When about 100 feet high, a. nearly
could be judged, Williams cut of two
OF the ropes with the apparent intention
OF rightipg the balloon; but, In his ex.
element cut the rope to which he was
holding. and wal consequently thrown
down. He fell in Q doublsd.up or curled
position. Colgrove went on some fifty
feet higher. holding on to the remaining
rope. and when that parted he turned
and fell head frst, with his arms before
him. like . diver or athlete shot ont
from q flying trspeze. The basket thsn
turned fully over and started on the race
with Colsrovs for the ground. At frst
the basket was ahead, but Colgrovs soon
passed II and reached the ground q SEQ.
ond or two before II did.
The balloon collapsed almost immsdi.
stely after the fall Of C~olgrovs and
reached the ground soon after. Colsrovs
died about half.past Z o'clock. Both
were men Of family. Williams leaves o
wife and children. Colgrovs's wife and
three children are In the East.

Over twenty persons were killed. and
nearly one hundred more or less injured
by the recent accident at Adrian. Michi.
gan. where the grand stand at the race
course broke down beneath the immense
crowd Of people assembled upon It,
The stand was built unusually high. to
admit Of space for the exhibition OF
wagons and carriages underneath. and
the imbsrs were simply spiked together.
instead Of being morticed and braced.
The blame is all laid upon the architect.
but the chances are that he simply went
according to contract, and did what he
VA paid for doing. The propristors
must have known just s1tac.ly how the
eoncsrn was constructed. therefore. are

ehanie who executed their plans. They
could have had all the morticss and
braces they were willing to pay for.

Passengers from San Francisco and

were very much astonishsd to find Gold

white mantle Of thu beautiful snow. an

during the night. They were no more
surprised than were the Comstocksrs

olarsd that he "never saw the like"

Great Fire ln the Sierra.
Rsao Ga.sns, Oct. 4.

The fire in Strong's Canyon. which
delayed the trains last Wednesday night.
was caused by the ignition Of an i'm
msnss heap Of sawdust near the snow
sheds. Both 6rs trains were quickly on
the spot. and for hours poured water on
the burning mass. The fire broke out
a.resh on Thursday. and spread through
the forest toward Tunnel Is. The en-.
gines were kept constantly at work to
preserve the sheds. Yesterday the
mountain above Bonner Lake. covered
with timber. was n great mass Of
Aams. The high wind constantly famed
the FIRE into greater fury. The railroad
company had hired all the men they
could and in Truckee to help preserve
the snow.sheds. All the section men
that could be spared from points along
the road were sent to Strong.s Canyon.
The FIRE at last accounts threatened the
sheds near Camp 8.
