they together endeavored to extinguish
the flames but they were unsuccessful
owing to the infammab1e material
stored therein The smoke from win

denser every moment and, at last, see
ing that the fire was gaining Roadway
notwithstanding their efforts, the
policemen fred volley from their re-
volFers to alarm the neighborhood and
one of them set off to call the fire de-
artment. es,.- srr:
The shots from the, revo1verS had the
desired effect and soon the streets were

) WooDF1ELD, O., Aug. 31.-Yesterday
was the last day of the fair here and
more than 10, 600 people assembled to
see the final races and a balloon ascen-
sion by Carter, the aeronaut The bal
loon was small hot air affair and was
kept in its position over the fur
mace by ropes held by the by
ISLANDERS When it had been in
flated and all was ready Carter gave
the word to let go. The balloon shot
upward and the thousands of spectators
were Mortified to see, dangling at the
end of a small line, young man named
Milton Redin, an officer of the fair asso-
citation. Hundreds of persons shouted
for him to drop, but Redin was either
entangled or had lost his head and he
clutched frantically at the rope, at
tempting to climb UP the slender line
into the basket. A number of women
in the dense crowd tainted and
all the spectators grew sick with
horror as the, balloon sailed upward
and began moving southwark. Carter
could be seen making desperate efforts
to draw Redin up the rope on which he
swung to and fro. For fully ten min
utes. their efforts continued and then, at
a height of over one thousand feet the
balloon took sudden lurch, Redin's
hold was loosened and his body shot
downward. 1t was found half mile
away. The clothing was torn off, all
his bones broken and the body crushed
out of all human semblance Redin's
brothers and sisters were in the throng
and saw his terri BILE fall. - iy1f 80
