A RUNAWAY BALLOON.
The Thrilling Experience Of Nine Persons
In . Balloon That Broke Away
from Its Fastenings.

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-The nine
occupants Of the car Of the balloon
which escaped from this city satur.
day afternoon, owing to the rope
which fastened II to the ground
breaking, landed safely yesterday
The balloon was landed near Pesca-
dero, so miles from this city, and but
a short distance from the ocean. The
balloon was In tho air nearly two
hours and at one time was out at
sea, but was blown back over the
land. When the balloon broke Its
bonds 1t sailed away in q southerly
direction. South Of Redwood City 1t
struck another air current which
took II towards the ocean over the
summit OF the coast range. Nineteen
miles from Ianonda and about six
miles from Pcscadero lies Beatty
Thomson's place. Thomson was up
and out when the balloon came along
by Wurm's mill, and the graphing
hook slipped through the trees and
ralcd along brushy patches OF
ground. BY this time much OF the
gas had been let out OF the balloon
and The power was weak. The rope
that had snapped and caused the
captive TO become runaway was
sweeping along the ground when "
came within Thomson's reach and ne
grasped it and bore down with all
his weight. This stopped 'hc flight.
Soon the balloon was brought to the
ground aud eight overioycd passen-
gers and the acronuut alighted and
took supper with Thomson.
A. i. Dodge, one Of the passengers,
describing the trip, said that the bal
loon first started toward Oakland
and after circling about for time
drifted southward and became sta
tionary for a short period. Then, in
response TO Il breeze from the east
ward, it sailed over the San Mateo
hills and stood far ont over the ocean.
The hearts Of all the occupants OF
the wicker cage were filled with fear,
MS the prospect Of being dumped into
the ocean stared them in the face.
Twice, according to Dodge's story,
the balloon dipped close to the sur
face of the water, bnl rose again,
each time to n considerable altitude.
Finally breeze from the sea caught
the balloon and carried il back over
the land and, after dragging the cage
through the tops Of grove OF trees,
landed on q side hill six miles from
Pescadero.
at was q terrible experience said
Dodge, "and ! would not undergo the
same adventure again for any consid-
Grafton. Everybody was more or less
shaky, while the lady passenger and
two or three men were so sick that
they sat in the bottom Of the basket
throughout the trip We were all pref
ty glad when we finally landed with
ont sustaining any injury except from
fright"

COUNCIL WILL CON 1DER 1T AT
SPECIAL MEETING.
Need Of the City Il Urgent in That
Direction Belle Springs Will Put
in leo Plant if Sewers Are Built
Council Proceedings.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion last week, Acting Mayor Hcon
presiding. The minutes OF last
months meetings were approved ana
the usual bills were allowed.
The subject Of sewerage for the
city was discussed at length. The
need in this direction is urgent and
it is probably Of more Importance for
the city's welfare than any one ques-
tion before the people at this time.
Not only for public health but for
business reasons should there be
some method Of taking care OF sewer
age besides the old cesspool plan
The Belle Springs Creamery company
announces that 1t will next spring
move its principal offices elsewhere II
something isn't done. The growth
of its business makes the present
headquarters too small. An ico and
cold storage plant is needed in con-
nection with the offices and this will
not be built at the station east OF
town. Rather than do that the COM
pany will move to some other place
and make Abilene a substation. This
cannot be afforded. With sewerage
accommodations the company will
build new creamery plant next to
its offices and will also put In a
$40, Ice and cold storage plant to
furnish Ice to the city as we'll as for
its own convenience. This will give
the city the best ice in the world
made from Sand Springs water. While
east recently J. X. Forney, OF the
company, investigated the sewerage
plant Of Champaign, Ill.,, where the
sewerage is filtered and the solid
matter burned. 1t is cheap, clean
ly and satisfactory method of dis
posing Of waste matter and there
works perfectly. He will explain it
to the council at special meeting
Nov. ID.
The council should have the heart
lest support in this matter and the
city ought to take immediate steps to
secure some effectual results. 1t is a
positive need right now.
The council ordered the chemical
engine contract terms spread on the
