Paris. May l3.-Thc death OF SEN
hor Severe. the Brazilian aeronaut,
who. with an assistant, was killed
Monday morning. by the. explosion Of
his airship ut La Paix. in which he
was making a trial trip, created ter
rible CONSERVATION.
The balloon at the time was loo
feet above the ground
The aeronaut fell into the Avenue
du Marine and was dashed To pieces.
The bcnes of his legs were forced
through the soles of his boots. The
engineer who accompanied him was
also killed.
The accident is said to have been
caused by leakage Of gas.
Senior Severe started with the in
tention of sailing to the military
parade ground at lssy, and large
number Of his relatives and friends
we're proceeding in the direction OF
that village. situated five miles south
west of Paris. With an engineer
named Sachct, Severe sailed out or
his baloon-house near the boulevard
De Vanguard, at $50 a. m, in eN-
cellent spirits and full OF confidence
The aeronaut put his airship through
a series of evolutions before starting
in the direction of Issy. There
seemed to be some hitch with the
steering gear, and the rear propelling
screw turned with difficulty. Never
theless. after several stoppages, the
nirship sailed of, moving steadily
enough through a light breeze. sud
denly a puff of wind caught the ship
and whirled it over the Avenue D'i
Maine. The ship turned completely
round and veered about in fashion
showing control of her had been lost
Then, from the center Of the outer
envelope a tongue Of flame dartcd
out. This was followed by loud re-
port resembling a cannon shot, and
.he balloon sank like n stone. falling
! on the roof of house, thence into
some trees and finally reaching the
Avenue Du Maine, almost on top OK
, It's occupants. who had previously
been precipitated to the stone pave
r ment. The fearfully mangled corpse
of Severa and Sachet were conveyed
to a neighboring police station. The
bodies presented a horrible spectacle
especially that of Sachet. The flame
which caused the explosion burnet
the engineers in most shocking
manner. Practically not bone 81
either victim was left unfracturec
and both skulls were terribly
crushed.
The impression among local aero
nauts is that NJ. Severe was not sum
GENTLY adept in maneuvering the "a
: ship and that the construction OF n
Pax was faulty as compared WIZ
: other models Of similar type.
!. 1t is also thought that NJ. Sever"
a machinist. who accompanied him. p
!, came confused at the critical momen
I and was partly responsible for IN
accident.
The primary cause Of the castas'r'
phe was the ignition of the hydroge
n with which the balloon was inflated

chester,

People all over town were consider
ably alarmed by a sudden shock
which awakened a, least half OF the
population at about 3 O'Clock this
morning. 1t seemed as if sudden
powerful gust of wind had struck The
side of the house. shaking the doors
and windows especially on the north
side. Many were so startled that
they could not get to SLEEP again at
all and got up.
There are all sorts of rumors with
regard to it. One was that a gas
well had blown up near Geneva. A
man who came down from Winches-
ter at noon SAYS that it vas an ex-
plosion three miles south of that
place, out particulars were not yet
known in the city at the time he

are fighters. Yesterday the dav was
taken up with the arguments of John
F Robbins and T. j. Study. To ay
r. A. Jackson and John L. Rupe
c'osed the argument.
1t is not thought there will
be any criminal cases tried
at this term for lack of
time, tn ugh there may be. The
next case on the docket is that of the
Ice Company VS. the G.. r. & N. for
filing up Thistlethwaite S pond, but
it seems to be understood this case
will not be tried this term
The February term opens in ABOUT
two weeks and it is likely the crimi-
nal cases will be all sent over to that
term in an attempt to clean up the
civil docket a little. With the nu-
marous liquor cases and other indict-
ments by the last grand jury the Feb
ruary term bids fair to be a pa-ticu-
larly hard one. The saloon men are
going to fight, and the Good Citizen S
League also mean business.

pointment of a senate committee TO
investigate the administration of those

length regarding the unreliability of
stotements which have been made
from time to time regarding the sit

causes which, leo TO sae outbreak.
He urged that there should be a
place where any senator in his Off

Mr.. Hoars colleague. said he regarded
the resolution as a reflection on the
Philippine committee of which he was
chairman. and the necessity for the
latter would cease were this resolution
tc be adopted. His committee, he said.
WAS perfectly able to han~le any in
vestigation which might be conducted.
Mr. Carmack tDem.) agreed with him.
The discussion was leading rapidly to
an opening up of the whole Philippine
question. when it was agreed that the
resolution should go over. Mr.. Mason
of Illinois made a speech in favor of
reciprocity with Cuba and discussed
the protective policy generally.
