AERONAUT KILLED.

Superstitious persons noted that 1t was
his thirteenth ascension that killed
Harry Mainaid, an aeronaut, before
7, 900 spectators at Lakeview, near Low
ell, Mass, Saturday afternoon.
A great throng Of millworkers had
gathered to see the young ,aeronaut per-
form the daring feat of making de-
scent from his balloon with two para
chutes.
All conditions were auspicious, but
some of the spectators were anxious
when they learned it was to be the thir-
teenth time Mainaid had made an as
cension. Not breeze disturbed the rise
of the big balloon (which sailed up un-
til it reached 1900 feet above the null
titude.
The aeronaut then cut loose his two
paracbutes aud dropped. Only one Of
the psrachutes was unfurled, the aero
naut's intention being to use the second
parachute where he was about 800 feet
from the ground.
Mainaid shot down rapidly and the
crowd quickly saw by mis- struggles that
the apparatus was not working right.
The second parachute failed to open.
When about 300 feet above the heads Of
the crowd Msinaid was still trying To
open the parachute.
The aeronsut fell on the roof of q
bowling alley and was instantly killed,
his skull being fractured and every bone
in his body broken.
As Mainaid struck there was panic
among the spectators. Women faintet
and many we're trampled on in the wilC
stampede to leave the grounds.
