them to jump the tracks when rounding a
curve And even the construction of the
bodies is poor I am told that the cheaD-

The search for bodies went on to-day,
but even with the aid of dynamite. the
divers were unable to dislodge the four
missing bodies supposed to be in Thor
oughfare Creek.
In the Common Pleas Court of Phila-

Of a large list of suits against the COM

The third and last car of the three that
plunged of the bridge into the Thorough

noon. The interior OF the car had been
searched by divers. and as expected no
bodies were found. Systematic search of
the stream IN both directions from the

The truant balloon went nearly out Of
sight, and thousands who desperately
chased IL in automobiles and other con-
vcyances lost the trail for over an hour.
Finally when the puTsuers had about
given UP hope, news reached here that
the balloon, after soaring far above the
clouds. had come TO the ground six miles
from town. DR.. Thomas was lucky. as
usual and after being whizzed through
space for about Eve miles, the balloon
came down with him. His descent was
made at a terrific rate. and it seemed
that he must be mansled when he struck
the ground. But just as Thomas feet
touched the earth the balloon dashed
away. dragging the doctor along for fully
a mile. The airshtp continued its flight
right near the ground Dr. Thomas was
being bumped and bruised. but luckily
escaping fatal injuries
He owed his life to his own courage and
presence Of mind. as he owed his thrilling
experience 10 haTdihood He had climbed
up the network inch by inch. as the freed
balloon swept along at a dizzy pace.
until he reached a point where. with his
knife, ne could slit the inflated bag OF

balloon 10 sink 10 the earth again.

the ascension. for Dr. Thomas IS native
Of Georgia, and has many personal friends
here. As he left the ground his balloon.

telephone wires. There was danger that
Dr. Thomas would be electrocuted, but a
greater peril lay in the fact that the car
threatened TO oyerturn and pitch him
out.
While the horrifed crowd ran about
aimiessly below, shouting all sorts of usa-
less advice, DR.. Thomas yanked from n
sheath at his belt, a sailors big CLASH
knife, and working with Cespers to
energy he slasbed the ropes that hitcbed
the car TO the balloon. The car dropned
