SAN DIEGO, CAL, July l3.-R. J.
Woodward, the Ventura farmer who for
several weeks has been preparing to
make balloon journey to New York,
made an ascent at 9 :18 this morning, in
the presence of several hundred people.
His balloon shot up like rocket to
great height. 1t first struck a current
Of air that moved the balloon rapidly
toward the ocean. Woodward threw
out his edibles, ballast and everything
else except the anchor, to make the
balloon rise higher. Finally he struck
A current Of air which bore him rapidly
inland. and at 1915 he disappeared
from view. A telephone message from
Ell Caion says he has passed over that
valley and is travelling rapidly southeast.
The signal observer says Woodward is
in a current of air having about twenty
FIVE miles velocity, and he thinks the
doughty aeronaut will never be heard of
again.

THE THE ALPINE DISASTER.
PARTICULARS OF THE AVALANCHE
AT ct. GERvAIsE.
Tho Dead Estimated at 13O-Bodies Hor-
ribly Crushed and Mangled by Masses
of Rock and Ice.

PARIS, July 13.-The work of search
ing for the bodies Of those who lost
their lives in the disaster at St. Ger
vaise les Bains yesterday, was contin-
ued today. The bodies already recov-
cred were torn and mangled most hor-
ribly. In many cases the heads were
torn from the bodies. In other in
stances legs and arms were cut off by
the huge masses of ice that passed over
them. Some were crushed out of all
semblance to humanity. When the
glacier slid down into the Bonnsnt, on
which mountain stream st. Gervaise
les Bains is situated, the current was
damned and the water rose rapidly be-
hind the wall of ice. Finally the pressure
became so great that the dam was
broken, and rearing, grinding, crushing,
an immense volume of water and tre-
mendous masses OF ice started down the
ravine. Many victims were overtaken
in their sleep and instantly swept into
the torrent and drowned, and their
bodies afterward mutilated by the hoat-
ing debris, or crushed. OF fifty-seven

saved alive; seven of these are severely
injured.
At the hamlet of Bionasey, which was
swept out of existence, thirty-ive per-
sons were killed.
The inmates OF the baths were awak-
ened about 2 :l5 by the eound OF rushing
waters and loud crashing noiee. Be-
fore they were able to leave the build
ings torrent filled the village with de.
bris, and large masses of ice crashed
against the bath houses. Three build
ings were totally destroyed and one par
italy, while the fifth building sustained
no damage. The torrent continued to the
valley, destroying everything in ita
course. The village of Lefayet, lying in the
valley, was almost entirely demolished.
Wrecked houses were swept on for miles
into the Arite. Down the latter stream
corpses and wreckage were seen floating
all day long. The full mortality is not
yet known. 1t is believed seventy-fve
persons perished at the baths alone, and
that at least fifty inhabitants of Lefayet
were drowned. The latest estimate OF
the number Of dead is $50.
