AER0NAUT' ROPE CUT
Alleged Attempt to Murder Bal

From Trapeze.
DROPS INTO FAIR CROWD.
Spectators Flee When They See Fail

chute - Injuries Expected to Cause
Death-PoIice Hear of Negroes Tam
pering With Airship.

Lewiston, Me-, Sept. d. - Victim in
midair Of cowardly attempt at mur-
der, as the police assert it to be, Carl
Smith, an aeronaut, fell from bal
loon when the rope of his trapeze broke
and he was hurt beyond possibility of
recovery. He struck full in the mid
die of the state fair grounds while
1000 frightened spectators were fleeing
from the spot where they expected him
to land. His hips, arms and his breast
bone were broken, and he was dashed
into unconsciousness.
Miss Ida Merrill of Boston made the
ascension with Smith and narrowly es-
capped his fate. She returned to earth
safely by means of her parachute, how
ever. only to collapse on learning how
terribly her companion was injured.
Recovering, she told the police of two
negroes she had seen near the balloon
a moment or two before the big ball
sprang slzyward 1t is believed one of
the black men cut the trapeze rope and
that he was paid to do so by a rival of
Smiths.
Trapeze Rope Parts.
Smith, whose home is in Brooklyn,
and Miss Merrill, who is known in aero
nautic circles as Nine La Rue, were to
have made twin descents from the bal
loon. They We're seated on adjoining
trapezes. Whether the man who cut
the rope, if that was done, knew which
trapeze Smith would use and intended
to kill him or supposed the woman
would swing from it and marked her
as his victim can only be conjectured
The balloon was 125 feet in the air,
with a good sized crowd watching it
from the fair grounds, when together
the aeronauts swung from their ira
pezes to seize their parachutes Miss
Merrill caught hers, but Smiths trapeze
rope parted before he could reach the
parachute and with a cry that seemed
to echo against the sky-he swooped
toward the place where the sightseers
were grouped.
Spectators Fly From Danger.
Realizing the danger to themselves,
the onlookers scattered none too soon, as
the doomed man struck on spot where
the throng had been thickest Dozens
of men rushed back and lifted him
from the ground. A glance sufficed to
show how severely he was hurt He
was hurried to the Central Maine hos
pital. In addition to the fractures he
suffered, there were frightful internal
injuries.
Miss Merrill fioated to a clump of
woods half a mile from the grounds
and descended without a scratch. Po-
licemen who had followed her told her
Smith was hurt mortally and asked
what she knew of the circumstances
Her suspicious at once turned to the
two negroes, and she gave a good de-
scription of them. The police say they
are positive there was deliberate at
tempt to do murder in a terrible way.
though they do not undertake to guess
which of the aeronauts was to have
been the victim. A vigorous effort will
be made to ascertain if any aeronaut
was an enemy to Smith or Miss Mer-
rill.

years before steel coaches will be
adopted to more or less extent on
most of the roads of the country.
The coach which has just been COM
pleted for the Pennsylvania road is
the first of several passenger cars of
the same kind which have been Or
dered by that company, and naturally
there will be considerable interest in
the tests to be made of these cars.
The use of passenger cars which will
not burn under any circumstances is a
step far in advance of the abolition
of the old fashioned coal stove and
oil lamp.
The proposed Improvement, there
fore, must command great public
favor. If the patrons of the rail-
roads could have their way, there
would be a rapid substitution of steel
for wooden cars all over the country.
