Who has many hard trials to bear,

UNDERSTOOD THE WEATHER Major Hersey Whe Was h the Win- ing Balloon Responsible For
 tho Victory WAS A WEATHER BUREAU MAN

Paris, Oct 3.-Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm. Sixth cavalry, U. s. A., win ner of the international balloon con- test which started from here on Sunday last and Major Hersey, his companion, arrived here from Eng land to-day. Much of the Ameri- cans success is attributed to Major Hersey's knowledge of meteorology conditions obtained as the result of long service in the weather bureau at Washington. Before the depar- ture from the United Stotes, the winning balloon, Major Hersey close ly examined the latest weather re- ports and knew tEat the heavier and faster outer currents would be at the surface. Consequently while the rivals of the Americans were vainly testing the upper strait, tho latter remained close to the earth, their guide rope touching much of the time. The judgment was vindicated by the fact that although the United States was the twelfth balloon to start 1t was the first to reach the English coast.

ENGLISH WOMAN KILLED Daughter of sn Amy Officer Found Dead and Her Body TenibIy
 hIutIated FOUND IN PUBLIC PARK

Essen, Prussia, Oct 3.-A great sensation has been caused nere by the murder of Miss Madelaine Lake, daughter of an English army officer. whose body, terribly mutilatcd, was found at twilight Monday evening in the City park. The police have been unable to throw any light on the mystery. Both her temples were beaten in, her throat was lacerated by the hands of her murderer, who evidently strangled her in addition to beating her terribly about the head, and her arms and body were severely bruised as the result of the frightful struggle with her assail- ants.
 The excitement caused by this hor- rible crime in public park, almost in daylight, apparently has besn in creased by the fact that the inquiries of the authorities have resulted in seemingly establishing the fact that Miss Lake was related, distantly. to the British royal family, the brother of her grandmother, 1t is stated, hav- ing married daughter of Caroline Amelia Elizabeth of Brunswick, the divoreed wife of George W of Eng land!

DESPERATE FIGHT
 OVER \ WOMAN. Ono Maa Used | Bis Caring Knife While tho OtheI 0ne Used q Rs''l's' MAN WITH KNIFE MAY DIE
Woman For Whom the Men Fought is Detained By the
 Police.

New York Oct 3.-While a woman and her two little children stood helpless from fright in the parlor oi their home in Broadhurst avenue early to-day. two men, one the wo. mans brother and the other her lover, fought each other for their lives in the little apartment. The brother. who was armed with q large, keen edged carving knife. finally went down with three bullet wounds in his body. He is in hospital and probably will die. The police are searching for the lover on . charge of attempted murder.
 The principals in the affa..~ were Mrs Jennie Smith, a widow, her brother, Herbert Partridge, with whom she made her home, and Charles Johns, a stenographe... Mrs Smith, who has been detained as a witness, told the police that the af- fray was the outgrowth of the re- fusal of Johns to cease paying atten- -tions to Mrs Smith after Pal fridge had warned him to do SD. Mrs Smith says that when Johns began to call upon her some time ago, Par fridge took a dislike to him, forbade him to call and ended by throwing him out of the apartment. When Partridge returned home early this morning and found Johns in the apartment he became enraged, rushed into the kitchen and seized a carving knife and sprang upon the intruder. Then the fight for life began with Mrs Smith and her two children terrified spectators of the desperate struggle. The blado of the knife was snapped in two. but Par fridge lunged at his opponent with the broken blade. In another in stant, Mrs Smith says, Johns had whipped a revolver from. his pocket, and taking careful aim, sent one bull let after another into his opponent. and then rushed from the apartment and disappeared,
 Other tenants in the house. at- tracted by the tumult, came pouring into the apartment. to find Mrs Smith. wildly hysterical. lying over her brothers bleeding form. When Partridge was taken to the hospital his condition was found to be SO critical that the surgeon said he has but a slight chance for recovery. Johns's home Is in New Rochelle.
 When Mrs Smith was arraigned In police court she pleaded to De per- mitted to go home to her children. but the magistrate informed her that she would have to remain in custody for a few days to give the police an opportunity to investigate the af- fair. The children were placed In custody of officers of the Chiliren's society.
 Mrs Smith told the magistrate that Partridge is not her brother, al- though she had introduced hlm as such in the house in which they lived. He is a friend of the family who used to live with us when my husband was with me-" she told the court.
