AN AERONAUTs AWFUL FALL.
He Drops From u Balloon 1900 Fee,
Into the Sea.

An immense crowd gathered at Cannes,
France, yesterday to witness balloon as
cent of the aeronaut Wilton, who is well
known in America. No car was attached to
the balloon. and Wilton assembled hanging to
a rope. When fifteen hundred feet nigh the
balloon was caught in a current of air that
carried it rapidly seaward. 1t was apparent
that Wilton could not control the valve at
the top of the balloon, which, had II been
opened, would have allowed the gas to es-
cape and the balloon to gradually descend.
For some unexplained reason the aeronaut
let go his hold of the rope which he was
dangling from, and his body snot down into
the sea with frightful velocity. The acci-
dent occurred in full view of the spectators
and a number of women in the crowd faint
ed. number of pleasure boats hurrlediy
made their way to the place where Wlltcn
had fallen, and after a short search his body
was recovered. His death must have been
almost instantaneous.
