aaRI,Rlyq,inted, however, in not receiving com
Supervising Architects office, He says the
committee never visited his Office once DUR
ing the entire investigation, and knew moth
ing whatever OF the manner in which it is
conducted. He points out in connection
with the criticism of his action in giving
without competition contract for safes and
vaults to George L. Damon, of Boston, that
since the investigation began contracts of
this character have been advertised for
and awards made. Damon has received a
contract, and gets fifteen per cent more for
his work than he ever did before. Upon the
point where the committee hold that the
lowest bidders for shutters should have been
awarded the work, MIR. Hill says he would
not have given a bidder in that case any
kind OF contract, SO poor were the sam
pies furnished for his inspection. In regard
to showing favoritism in the award for
steam-heating apparatus, Mr.. Hill says
that he took the best work that he
could get. Hewould as soon think of adj
vertiSing for legal services as for plans for
steam-heating. He is, also criticised for Sc

Hill says that he had too much regard for
the lives OF the public to select an inferior
elevator because he could get it cheaper. 1t

mend legislation to place the office under

A Bursted Balloon Remarkable Escape
Of the Operator.
P1TTsBURGH, Pa, Sept. IA.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. Il.
There was a thrilling scene at the EXPOSE
ton grounds Thursday afternoon. Prof.
Warner aeronaut, has been making balloon
ascensions during the week, generally JAZZ
ing up one or two persons with him. This
afternoon he made the ascension alone, no
one being willing to accompany him. This
was fortunate, as it no doubt saved the
Professors life.
The balloon was inflated as usual and cut
loose amid the cheers of thousands of spec
tators. The inflated sphere rose. slowly and
steadily, there being very little wind, until
a height of a mile and half was reached.
At that height the balloon looked like
small Speck against the sharp outlines of a
bank of clouds above it. Suddenly the
spectators saw that something unusual had
happened to the aeronaut. The speck was
descending with fearful velocity, Inomen-
tarily growing larger as it approached the
earth. The cause of this was soon ascer-
tanned. The balloon had yielded to the inn
mense pressure of gas and burst.
Every eye was fixed upon the Professor,
with the expectation of seeing him thrown
out of the car and dashed to the earth. BY
this time nearly all the gas had escaped
from the balloon and it came down with the
rapidity of rocket Fortunately, it struck
a tall chimney, which checked its
progress. The balloon scraped along
the side of house. and finally
landed on the ground, when the Professor
stepped out, badly scared but uninjured, ex-
cept few scratches and bruises received
when the balloon struck the chimney. The
descent was made in. minute and half.
would have increased the velocity SO that
death to the occupants would have been un-
avoidable. Prof. Warner says be has had
many narrow escapes but was never Ii such
great danger.
