AN ERoN4UT DROWNED.
His Balloon Became UnmanageabIe and
He Fell Into the Adriatic Sea.

ROME, Aug. 17.-Balloon accidents,
some of them resulting in loss of life,
have recently been reported from vari-
GUS parts of Europe. In fact, such I'M
cidents seem to be becoming and tend to
indicate that the passion for aerial ex-
periments is increasing to an alarming
extent.
The latest aerial disaster is reported
from .Nlacerata, capital of the Italian
province of the same name, about 20
miles south of Ancora. Macerata is
situated on an eminence about the Pol
emza, small river, emptying into the
Adriatic and is situated midway be-
tween the Apprentices and that sea. 1t
will thus be seen that Macerata was
conveniently situated for balloon ascen-
sions and its neighborhood afforded
good sightseeing spots for the peasantry
and others of the vicinity who gathered
in large numbers yesterday to witness
the exploits of daring balloonist who
had acquired fame by frequent perilous
ascensions.

to sea, so he attempted to descend and
was seen to be vigorously pulling at the
exhaust or safe valve. The rope of the
latter, however, did not seem to work
properly and the balloon and its occu-
pant were slowly but steadily carried
seward. Finally the balloon was seen
lowering over the Adriatic and cry of
horror arose from the crowds who had
followed the course of the air ship when
the aronaut was suddenly seen to fall
headlong from the car and after whirl-
ing over and over twice or thrice in the
air to fall into the sea. He was drowned
before some fishermen, who put out to
rescue him, had time to reach the I'M
fortunate man. Relieved of its human
ballast the balloon shot upward into the
clouds and was eventually lost to view.

4 RuRauARions TRUST.

Crooks Follow the Example of Their
Business Brethren and Form Syn
dictate.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. ia
burglars syndicate or trust now exists,
according to high police authorities. In
fact there are said to be almost dozen
of these sydicates and the next move
will be to consolidate them.
The facts leaked out through the az
rest of noted criminal few days ago,
on suspicion. In his day he was one of
the most famous bank robbers Of the
east, and his picture adorns nearly
every rogue's gallery in the country,
and occupies full page in Inspector
Byrnes' book on noted criminals. This
man now belongs to that class which is
designated in police circles as "gone."
For some time the police of this
city have had an idea that an organiza-
ton of thieves have been working the
town. The variety Of work done
puzzled them, however, as 1t extended
from safe.cracking to -thieving.
When this man was arrested the officers
decided to pump him. An attempt was
made to make him believe the police
had a case against him, but he so
stoutly maintained that he had done no
work for year that this was given
up. 1t was decided to send him
up to the house of correction
for year or so, on general principles.
When he learned of this programme he
broke down and said he was already
dying of consumption. A bargain was
made, and he told of the burglars syn
| dictate with which he was connected. A
little investigation Of his history con-
WINGED the officers Of the truthfuness
and they are now at work on the
strength Of the information furnished.
The first trust was formed in New
| York city by confidence man nearly a
year ago. 1t was his theory that burg
lars, safe-breakers, bank-sneaks, pick
pockets, balcony men and the whole
cotere were like day labcrers, they
OF their stupid blunders could be pre-
vented, and by systematic work the
chance of detection could be greatly cut
down. He got about % men together
and so conducted matters that very few
knew each other. With capital stock
of $500 he mapped out route, sent
scouts or travelling lookout ahead and
furnished transportation for his men.
The tour was very successful, and only
one man was held and he finally escaped
by the power of money furnished by the
syndicate.
This summer balf-dozen of such
gangs have worked different territories.
That Wisconsin has been thus foraged
within the last two months is no longer
a matter of doubt. The method was for
men to jump into a town or city at
night, do their work and then move on
the next stand. In large cities these
artists played a weeks engagement in
stead of one-night stand. The continual
shifting of the men from one town OF
state to another made their capture very
difficult. Under the old system
burglars and thieves always showed q
tendency to stay where they made q
good haul and keep on working until
the police located and captured them
Under the direction of the Napoleonic
confidence man this has all been
changed. From burglars standpoint
the syndicate system has been great
success.

AFrER AMERICAN DoLLARs.
The Annual Exodus of London Dramatic
Talent--Mr. Abbey's New Operas.

Adieht--4tFs tDDeN y 4"tW oPcfho.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-Arrangements are
maturing for the annual exodus Of the
dramatic and musical world of this city
to America.
Mr.. Henry Z. Abbey's operate party
will open in the auditorium at Chicago
on November 9th for season of five
weeks. After completing their engage
ment in that city the party will proceed
to New York. The programme of the
company only includes performance in
the cities mentioned. The novelties to
be introduced by Mr.. Abbey during the
tour of his company will be the new
Italian opera "Cavalleria Rusticana," by
Mascagni, for the production OF which
work the services of Signor Valero have
been specially engaged; and Reyer's
opera, entitled "Sigurd Simock." A
firm of publishers in Berlin has paid the
sum of $4,000 for the copywright of
"Cavalleria Rusticana," and Mr.. Aron-
son, the New York theatrical manager,
has bought the American rights of the
opera for $l7,500. 1t is announced that
Mr.. Aronson intends to produce this
work at his theatre in New York, the
Casino.
1t is reported that Mr. Abbey ha
tried, but without success, to secure the
services of Mime. Nordica and Nine.
Patti for an operate tour in America.
Despite all the managerial diplomacy
put forth by Mr.. Abbey, Nine. Patti
would only promise to sign contract
with him for concert tour.
Mrs. Bernard Beere is now recuperat-
ing at Folkstone from the effects Of her
recent severe illness. She has signed a
contract for theatrical tour extending
over 80 weeks in the United States and
Canada. Mrs. Beere will begin her en-
gagement on November 18th. Beside
her usual repertoire of plays she will
appear in a new work written especially
for her.
Mr.. Willard, the actor manager, re-
turns to this city from his visit to Bays
reuth, full of admiration for the per-
formance of Wagner's opera "Parsifal."
Mr.. Willard will start for America on
the 22d instant for tour of the United
States. His itinerary includes New York,
Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and other
prominent American cities. The plays
which Mr.. Willard will produce during
his tour will include "The Scarlet Let
ter" and "Hamlet." He will not present
liking Lear" Mr.. Willard's wife, who
has been sick for some time past, is not
reported to be much improved in health,
but Is as yet too weak from the effects
of her illness to accompany her hus-
band to the United States.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Aug. 15.--A sen.
sation was caused at Camp Lincoln,
yesterday, by the deliberate and des-

man Of B Company, Fourth Infantry,
to commit suicide. Kasserman is sub

vented this, however, and notified the
captain, who put him under arrest.
When the guard came Kassermen
rushed behind the tent and placing his
bayonet against the ground, point up
ward, threw himself upon It several
times before he could be stopped. Eight

ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR.
Twelve Killed and Many Wounded
by a Collision in Switzerland.

The Paris Express DasIhes Into a
Heavily-laden Excursion Train with
Terrible Resnlts--The Accident Due to
the Negligence of the Railroad Ofhcials.
BERNIE, Aug. 1.-THE people Of this
republic have hardly recovered from the
railroad scare caused by the terrible
accident at Moenchenstein, in June last,
by which over 10 persons ON an excur-
sion train lost their lives and about 300
were injured, when they were again
startled by another wholesale loss of
life by reason of railroad disaster.
This last disaster occurred on the Jura
Simplon railroad lines, near the village
of Zollikofen, not far from this city The
details of the accident, as received here
up to the present, are as follows; A
special train, carrying large number
of excursionists from the country dis.
tricts to this city, was on its way here
The passengers intended to take part in
the centenary fetes which are now in
progress here and elsewhere throughout
Switzerland. This excursion train was
stopped at Zollikofen in order to enable
1t to be shunted, SO as to let the Paris
express pass. By some gross negligence,
apparently upon the part of the railroad
officials, the Paris train, loaded with
foreign travellers, was not warned to
look out for the excursion train while
passing Zollikofen, and the result was
that the express dashed into the special
train. Luckily the engineer Of theex-
press had caught sight of the excursitN
train in time to put down the brakes
and so the damage done and loss of life
was not SO great as II might have been.As
it was the engine of theexpress was cut
into and almost entirely demolished the
guard van at the rear of the excursion
train, (which was empty and then crashed
into the rearmost of the passenger cars,
completely wrecking it and causing con-
siderable loss of life.
AT this hour the exact number of
dead and wounded is not known, but
10 corpses have already been recovered
many people have been seriously in
jured by the collision. No loss of life
has been reported in connection with
the Paris express passengers, and there
fore it is believed here that they have all
escaped.
A special train carrying wrecking
appliances, doctors and nurses from the
hospital, together with detachment of
engineers, has been dispatched to the
scene of the accident and crowds of
people have started in the same direc-
ton. The majority of the passengers on
board the excursion train belong to
towns in the vicinity of this city. 1t is
thought that no foreign visitors were
among the excursionists and no deaths
of American travellers have been re-
ported.
