Carlson left his home early yesterday

I'll nearly noon that his absence was
made known to the police. From the
late actions of Carlson, the only pos
slble solution Of his early ng act
was suicide, and searching parties I'M
mPdlntely were formed In an attempt
10 find him. The abandoned granite
quarrles We're searched without avail,
ana It was not until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon that the body was found.
At that time three men were walking
through a clunp OF woods when they
came upon the body Of Carlson sus-
pended from the limb Of tree.
Carlson and two other men were
charged with placing explosives OH
Ellis property and discharging them,
causing great damage. Carlson was
the only one of the three indicted
and was held for the grand jury,

Bristol County Agricultural society

balloon with which the ascensiOns
were made caught fire, and gave the
crowd scare. One ascension was
made safely yesterday by Professor
Stafford alone. At 4:3O o'clock a
triple ascension by Professor and Miss
Stafford and Louis Girard, their as
sistant, was planned.
No sooner had the ba allOon been freed,
when 1t was seen that something was
wrong. The woman cut loose at once,
and did not leave the ground. The
balloon shot up rapidly. and had gained
a height Of about 400 feet. when Staf-
ford's parachute was seen to drop. 1t
spread and Stafford alighted safely,
but his parachute had barely left the
balloon when the latter ripped in halves
and collapsed. There was frantic
motion OH Girard's part as he tried to
cut loose, but the lines refused to part,
and he fell to the earth, the wrecked
balloon burying him in its folds. He
was unconscious when freed from the
cloth, and died 20 minutes later. An
examination showed that his spine was
broken in two places.

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Of the 10
Pennsylvania state troops are now
campcd in five. Despite the presence
Of the troops In these districts. rloting
and general wlessnesS continues in
the entire hard coal territory from
Forest City, SusQnehanna county, OH
the north, to WilliamstOwn, Dauphin
county, Oh the south, distance OF more
than 100 miles.
The section of the strike region in
the vicinity of Forest city, which has
been comparatively quiet ever since the
strike began, was greatly wrought up
yesterday by crowds of strikers inter-
fering with and beating men who had
returned to work and as Il result the
sheriff Of SusquehannN county last
night asked Governor Stone for troops
to assist him and other civil authorities
to preserve the peace.
At the present there are four full
regiments, two companies of another
and two troops of cavalry in the field.
The Thirteenth regiment IL campcd ut
Olyphant. six miles north of Scranton;
the Ninth Is qlartered ut its armOry in
Wilkcsbarre: the Eighth regiment and
the Second Philadelphia city troop are
under canvas on the top Of hill over
looking ShcnandOah; one battalion Of
the Twelfth and the Governors troop
are in the Panther creek valley and one
battalion of the Twelfth is preserving
order in the city of Lebanon. where the
iron and steel workers are on strike.
If the disorder continues Governor
Stone will he compelled to call out ad-
ditiOnal soldiers.
While there has been no big general
riot, the disturbances have been of such
a serious nature as to cause the au-
thorlties much apprehension. Every
effort Is being made by the sheriffs in
the several counties affected aud the
troops to prevent disturbances from
growing to such an extent as to cause
blOOdshed. Reports are coming In
from every section of nOn-llniOn menand
others being either shot or clubbed.
Houses Of w0rkmcn have been burned
or dynamiteG and attempts have been
made to hold up coal trains and derall
them.
Coal is being shipped from many
parts Of the coal field to market. but
compared with the normal output the
quantity is insignificant. The output
for this week will be considerably less
than the average normal production Of
one day, which is about 300 900 tons.
The strikers claim that very little of
the coal is freshly mined and that il is
mostly coal "waShed" from the cyIlin
points previous to the beginning of the
strike.
