BLOWN TO PIECES IN MID.AlR
John e. Baldwin, an Indiana Aeronaut,
Meets His death While Giving .
Public Exhibition at Green
vile, Ohio

Greenville, o., Septe. 1.--Professor
Baldwin. well known Indiana aero
naut. was blown to pieces high In the
air yesterday while making a balloon
ascension. His wife and children were
In the great crowd which witnessed
the accident.
Many Of the 25.O0O persons who
went to the fair ground were at
tracted by the announcement that
Professor Baldwin would make bal
loon ascension and from the highest
altitude let loose in the air wonderful
display Of fireworks and dynamite
bombs.
Professor Baldwin had been giving
daily exhibitions at the fair grounds
as he had done at other county fairs
In Ohio and Indiana during the sum-
mer. Preparations for his ascension
attracted great attention, and when
his airship scared aloft the crowd
cheered and every neck was craned to
watch his performance. The balloon
rose rapidly. When 1t had reached an
altitude Of about 1900 feet great
cloud of smoke suddenly hid the air.
ship from view.
There was loud report as II all his
bombs had exploded simultaneously
and an instant later fragments of the
balloon and the body OF the aeronaut
fell to the earth. Then a groan of hor-
ror rose from the multitude. The air.
ship had vanished. Searchers imme.
diately began looking for fragments Of
the wrecked airship.
A half mile away they found pieces
of silk cloth and splinters OF the bas.
ket-like framework on which the aero
naut had Seen perched. Scattered
about a twenty-acre field were found
fragments of Baldwin's body. The dis
tance at which the airship fell was 80
great that the crowd had not seen the
fragments fall. 1t is supposed that in
igniting the fuse connected with the
dynamite he fired the gas in the bal
loon and that it exploded, causing the
dynamite to explode also

dren, was among the spectators.

and rushed in the direction in which
the wind had carried her husband. BE.
fore the crowd realized what had hap.

Professor Baldwin Is said to have
taken part in the Spanish-American

and explosives.
Professor Baldwin was about forty
five years old, He lived in Lousantis.

taken for burial.
No trace has been found of a parrot
and monkey which made the ascension
with the aeronaut.

RUSSIA ASKS
FOR THE TERMS
Signs Of Weakening at St.Peters-
burg in Regard TO Carrying
on the War.
TALK WITH PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON. June S.-Prcllmina
ry negotiations between Russia and Ja-
pan are generally believed to be under
way, and it is conceded that President
Roosevelt will in all probability act
not as a mediator, but as the friendly
channel Of communication" There IS
as yet no official admission that Rus
STA has accepted what Count Casslni in
his cablegram to Count Lamsdorff de-
scribed as 1.-THE offer of good will of the
president" although instructions to the
ambassador are believed to have reach
ed here last night in a long cablegram
which arrived at the Russian embassy
quite late.
Washington is aroused to a point of
expectancy ~unequaled since the incep-
lion of the war in the far east by the
news from st. Petersburg of the ears
wish to know Japan's peace terms.
This interest was heightened by a call
which Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese min
lster, made at the White House by APP
pointment last night. He called short
Iy after 8 O'Clock and Immediately
went into conference with the presi-
dent. When the minister left he de-
clined to answer any questions about
dis call.
The efforts that President Roosevelt
! mas been making to bring the belliger-
ants together has entered on a distinct
ly new phase. Foreign Minister Lams-
iorff had an audience of the emperor
upon the subject of Ambassador Cas-
sini's peace communication, and Am
bassador Meyer called upon Count
Lamsdorff Mt ithe chancellery and re-
NAMED with the foreign minister for
some time.
Whether this visit was upon the in
vitation iof Count Lamsdorff or Mt the
-equest-of the ambassador cannot def
litely be stated. but there is reason to
believe that the visit was in obedience
70 instructions from Washington, con-
veying d personal communication from
he president to the emperor rendering
ais good offices.
The result was that Mr.. Meyer went
70 Tsarskoe-Selo in full uniform aud
was received in special audience by
he emperor.
Upon his return TO st. Petersburg
Mr.. Meyer FASTENED to the embassy,
whence he sent a long cipher dispatch
% Washington.
Half an hour later he was closeted
With Sir Charles Hardinge, the British
ambassador.
The present situation is extremely
delicate, and the greatest reticence is
observed.
