Director-AIarminE Result OF q Fall
FROM the Car-Prsspect Of q Horrible
Death.
PARIS, June 1s.-A balloon trip, result
ing almost to q certainty in the loss of
three lives, occurred at La villette yestes-
day afternoon. A balloon containing a
professional sronaut and two other per-
sons made an ascent about midday from
La Villette, in the presence of crowds of
people. When the balloon had reached a
height of not more than sixty feet, the
eronsut, who had been busily engaged
about the outside of the car, was seen sud-
denly to lose his balance, make . desper-
ate effort to regain ii, and then fall rfairI-
ing to the earth. He was picked -up 30
terribly injured that it is said there is no
prospect of saving his life
In the meanwhile the balloon and it's two
remaining occupants, both Of whom were
balloon is handled, mounted higher and
higher, growing to the sight smaller and
smaller, until It was finally lost sight of
entirely among the clouds.
The government officials have telegraph
ed to the projects in the outlying depart
ments to make all the inquiries possible in
regard to the fate of the two occupants of
the balloon, but up to this morning moth
ing has been heard of their whereabouts.
1t is feared that the balloon will ascend to
a height that will cause its unfortunate oc-
cupants to be frozen to death, and that 1t
will finally collapse and, with the bodies of
the two unfortunates, find resting place
in the ocean.

Cured in May as follows: Ansonia IS,

1t is to be observed that the death rate
in the rural towns is again higher than in
the cities and towns of over X (100 inhahi-

APPALLING BRUTALITY.

Hippolyte's Vengeance on His Luck
less Captives-Terrible Scenes In the
Public Square OF Jacmel - Hayti
Ripe for Another Revolution.
NEW YORK, June 1S.-The stories of
wholesale slaughter of mslcontents in
Port-au-Prince were supplemented yester-
day by others of an even more atrocious
nature. In Hayti's capital the alleged in
surrectionists were killed outright; in the
otlying towns they were subjected to linger-
ing torture. Jacmel, a little town on the
southwestern coast, furnished six of the
victims.
The steamship Alvo, of the Atlas m all
line, which arrived yesterday, sailed from
Jacmel June 4. The report that Hippolyte
had been assassinated at Port-au-Prince
reached Jscmel just as the Alvo was de-
porting-but it was not known whether it
was a true report.
Two days before the Alvo left Jacmel a
force of Hippolyte's soldiery came into
Jaemel. Six persons were shot in the
public square. The mode of their execu-
ton, as related by the Alvo's officers, was
one of appalling brutality. Three of the
victims of Hippolyte's displeasure were
chained together, the others were fastened
singly to stakes placed few feet apart.
A file of sixteen soldiers acted as eIecu-
TONERS. They were drawn up in a line
facing the condemned wretches and about
dozen PAGES distant from them. At a
given signal volley rang out, followed
instantly by the shrieks and groaps of the
sufferers dashed to the stakes.
1t appears that an order had been given

were leisurely reloaded and deliberately
brought to the position of aim. The sec
ond volley of bullets, directed at the knees
and arms, brought fresh cries from the
victims. The third and last volley was
aimed at vital spots, and after it the ap,
peals for mercy gave place to dying
means.
One man endeavored to raise himself
upon his bullet-shattered arm. Two sol
diers observed the movement and stepped
| forward to finish him. One placed the
| muzzle of his rifle over the dying mans
heart. the other pressed his rife against
temple Both soldiers fred together.
The bodies were allowed to lie where
they had fallen until shutdown. exposed to
| the fierce rays of the sun and the gaze Of
/ the populsce. A soldier of Hippolyts
passing by happened to recognize in one q
former enemy, and Immediately proceeded
to empty the contents of his repeating
rifle into the body.
The condition of the island is described
as similar to that of q charged mine, and il
is thought that the explosion cannot much
longer be delayed. Hippolyte, it is said
has managed to estrange everyone from
him but the army, and is ruling simply b,
force of arms.
Hippolyte looks upon Manigat as tn,
principal instigator of disorder. The lat
ter is at present in Kingston and when tn

subjected to an examination, as it was re

among politicians is that Lord Salisbury
ought to make definite statement to-mor-
row to the deputation on imperial fedora
ton. The interest in the report is in
creasing.
The St.,James Gazette (Tory) says that
the demand for a conference is reasonable
If there is to be federation, it would be
necessary to form a league of war or a
league of commerce. The former would
be the easier to organize There is no evil
dence that the colonies are in the least in
clined to meet the tariff policy of England
There might be mutual arrangements
whereby England would tax the raw ma
terials in the colonies in favor of manu-
facturers. 1t believes the time has arrived
forithe Imperial Federation league either to
decide to act or vanish.

that each of the three self governing groups
among the colonies is in the melting pot
Australia is in the heat of federation. In
Canada there is political chaos, intensified
by Macdonald's death. Changes are i'm
