Aeronnut Falls 5000 Feet into a Lake
and Is Drowned.
CoRRY, Pu., July Sl.-Frnnk Rey-
nolds, of Ripley, Chatauqua county, fell
5000 feet to his death to-day. The Find
Iny's Lake Assembly opened at Find
lay Lake, fifteen miles from this city.
REYNOLDS has been engaged by the as
gembly authorities to make u balloon
ascension and parachute jump.
Reynolds, who Is twenty-five years Of
age, and has wife and child, Is said
to have been inexperienced. He had
made but one ascension before to-day,
and had never dropped with para
chute. Preparations were made and at
4.20 this afternoon, Reynolds stripped
for the jump, appeared ready to as
cend. The wind was blowing from
Lake Erie, eight miles northwest. The
assembly grounds are on the northwest
shore Of the little lake. The wind was
certain to drive the balloon over the
lake. II promised to be n dangerous
drop for seasoned veteran, but Roy
nolds, the novice, never faltered. An
immense crowd was present.
When the balloon had reached n
height which appeared to be fully
5000 feet, in the air, and directly over
Flndlay's Lake, 1t wns seen that the
unfortunate young man had dropped
with the parachute. He came down
slowly. The aeronnut's young wife
shouted that Reynolds could not swim
and would drown. Boats were quickly
put out. Reynolds struck the water
where the lake is ninety feet deep. He
threw up his hands and sank like a
stone. The nearest boat was yet 200
feet of. The lake is being dragged to-
night, but UP to n late hour no trace Of
the body had been secured.

or an Indian Graduate Of Carlisle.
Murders His Employers Daughter
and Fires the House.
AMHERST, Mass. July S1.-Eugene
Pakahpuer, a graduate from the In
dian school at Carlisle, Pa, shot and
killed Edith Morrell, aged seventeen
years, at the home Of Mrs. ]. F. Nor
rell, In South Amherst, early this even-
ing. The Indian had been employed on
the farm for about year and during
that time he had paid much attention
to the girl. The murder, without doubt,
was the result OF Miss Morrell's refusal
of his attentions.
It Is evident that Paknhpuer went I'M
to the cellar OF the Morrell house, where
Edith was at the refrigerator. 1t is not
known what was said between them.
but the Indian finally discharged the
revolver twice, one bullet going
through the girls neck and the other
into the brain. The Indian then went
upstairs and told Mrs. Morrell that he
had shot Edith and he was going to set
the buildings on fire and then shoot
himself. He went into the barn and a
few minutes later flames broke out
there and the fire which followed de-
stroyed the house, barn and outbuild-
ings.
After the Indian informed Mrs, Nor
rell OF what he had done she went
down stairs and found Edith on the
floor. In her fright she ran to neigh
boris house and got the assistance Of
two men. who removed the girl to q
nearby building, where she died in
few minutes.
Up to late hour tonight no trace
had been found OF the Indian. The po-
lice think he Is hiding In the woods and
they have begun a search for him.

FORT MONROE, Va. July 81.
Surgeon General, U. 8. A. Washington,
DC.
At 4 O'Clock yesterday, Surgeon Pet
tus, United States marine hospital SER
vice, quarantine oficer, officially states
that yellow fever was at national Bol-
dlers home, Hampton; thirty-four cases
with six deaths. Commanding officer
took immediate measures for quaran-
tine. Surgeon Pettus states surgeon
general marine hospital service was not
notified yesterday afternoon.
DE WITT, Surgeon.
Adtutant General corbln and Major
johnson, assistant adjutant general,
were at Fort Monroe yesterday and
were present when Surgeon Pettus
made his report to Lieutenant Colonel
De witt, regarding the outbreak Of yell
low fever at the Soldiers Home. Gem
eral corbln soys that from all accounts
there is little doubt that the conditions
are serious and there is no telling how
far the infection may have reached.
There is trolley road along the beach
for distance Of more than six miles
and excursion parties have been coming
TO Old Point and adjacent places and
have taken the trolley to Newport
News, and to the Soldiers Home Many
OF them have mingled with the soldierg.
General corbin says that one theory
OF the way in which the fever might
have been brought to the home Is that
one of the soldiers recently visited San
tiago. He returned some time since
suffering with what the physicians
thought to be dengue. 1t seems 1t was
not, until the inmates of the home be-
gan to die, that the disease was dis
covered to be yellow fever. General
corbin says there is not the least ques-
ton about the character Of the disease,
physicians who were present at the
postmortem on some Of the victims de-
claring that yellow fever was surely
present.

The new secretary has already been
requested by the President to give Gem
