Two Fires at Erie.

About o'clock Sunday morning the
drug store OF DR.. M. Il. Lake. OF Erie,
was found to be on fire. BY prompt
work the building was saved with
small damage, though DR.. Lakes
stock was seriously damaged.
Soon after this fire was under con-
troll, the fine Touring mill on the river,
belonging to Messrs. II. B. Limbocker
and II. L. Gabriel, was found to be on
fire. The mill with its contents and
the home of Mr.. Gabriel dear by were
DESTROYED. The loss is heavy. About
Two thirds the value was insured.
The loss of this excellent mill Is not
only a severe loss to the owners but
will be a great loss to the community.
IL will doubtless be rebuilt at once
as the owners are energetic, pushing
men, and it was good paying property.

Talmage Dead,

T. Dewitt Talmage, whose pulpit
eloquence for years has stirred the
hearts of his hearers and whose ser
mons have been read in the family
of almost every intelligent American,
is now dead. The eloquent tongue
and persuasive pen are now silenced
forever. He succeeded Beecher as
the great American preacher, but
who will succeed Talmage? There
seems to be no one just now to take
his place. Another will doubtless
arise in time, but no one knows
from what quarter he will come.
Doubtless this time from the west.

The preacher drew the moral

he saw an old horse become entangled
in some barb wire and cut itself SO
badly that it was rapidly bleeding to
death. A carpenter left his work and
spent half hour or so trying to re-
lieve the suffering Of the poor animal
and make its last moments as COM

preacher drew great moral lesson on
the humanity of man. The man of

FROMBALLOON
He FELL To
DEATH
DARING AERoNAUT MEETS A
FRIGHTFUL FATE AT ITALIA
PooSA IN THE PRESENCE OF
GREAT CROWD.

TALLAPOO6A Ca, May 14.-Meredith
Rowe, an aeronaut, I'm making a balloon
ascension here late yesterday afternoon,
fell from height of a hundred feet and
was almost instantly killed.
The Worlds Fair Amusement company,
with dozen or more tents, had just OPEN
ed for weeks entertainment. The crown
ing spectacle of the first days program
was to be balloon ascension and para
chute leap, and by the time young Rowe
was ready to make his ascension there
were hundreds Of people crowding the vi
cinity.
It was already growing dark when the
word was given to cast loose. The big
balloon was the cynosure of every eye as
II swung majestically upward. with the
daring young aeronaut suspended from
crossbar beneath. the folded parachute
dangling beneath him.
A long breath came from hundreds of
mouths as the big balloon swept upward,
only to be succeeded by another and more
awe-stricken moment of excitement, for
as the gray sphere reached the height Of
about 100 feet IL suddenly collapsed.
The crowd shuddered. A feeling of hor-
ror swept over them as with one wild cry,
the unfortunate aeronaut came falling to-
wards the earth, together with a. gray
mass Of the torn balloon. the network of
ropes and the tapping parachute.
There was a sound of a heavily striking
body and all was silent save for the sud-
den weeping of many women. Children
chung to their mothers skirts. Men turned
their faces away I'm horror, fearful to look
upon the sight they knew awaited them.
AS quickly as possible medical aid was
summoned, but II was already seen to be
unavailing. Young Rowe never spoke
word, but died within a half hour of his
fall. His neck was broken, his back
mass of bruises. Hardly a whole bone
remained in his body.
From the show management It was
learned that the young man was only 10
years OF age, although he had made many
balloon ascensions, and was regarded as
one of the most successful and daring men
in his profession. His home is in Evans
vile. Ind. where his mother and brother
still alive there. The body WILL be shipped
there this afternoon.
The cause for the accident is ascribed
to the age of the balloon. 1t had been in
use for a long time. although nobody
dreamed 1t had become dangerously weak.
The accident created the widest excite
ment, and little else was talked of here
last night or today. The scene is de-
scribed as one of the most horrible ever
witnessed. more especially so on account
of the frightful condition of the body af-
ter striking the earth.

PRESIDENT Of

"a
RESIGNS
STUDENT He EXPELLED FROM
COLLEGE IS RE-INSTATED BY
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THAT INSTITUTION.

SPARTANBURG, S. c.. May 12.-Presi-
dent Hartzog has rendered his resignation
to the board of trustees of Clemson col
lege. This fact was not made public i'm
mediately upon the boards adjournment.
and it will not be acted upon until the
meeting of the board in June. 1t was not
intimated who will be his successor.
1t is more than probable that at the
June meeting. the resignation of several
other members of the faculty will be sub
mitted
After full investigation into the matter
of the suspension of Cadet Thornwell il
was found: First, the offense committed
was not serious enough to warrant the
penalty imposed upon the student.
Second. The faculty was never in full
possession of the facts in the case as was
clearly shown at the investigation, and
further. the trial of the student was not
conducted with the seriousness and tho
roughness that should obtain when the
good name of a student was involved. For
these reasons Cadet Thornwell was order
ed reinstated.
The members of the Sophomore class
who left the institution through sympathy
with their fellow classmate will be allow
ed to re-enter the college upon individual
application, made in a due and respectful
manner. The class were censured by the
trustees for not appealing to them from
the faculty's action instead Of preemptoF-
lily taking the matter into their own hands.
