balloonist. irop 1000 feet 20 earth.
striking on the top of a cedar fence
post and escape, probably. with his
life.
Maloney made his ascent late in
the afternoon. and as the visitors at
the grounds gazed upward they say
this his attempts to loosen his para
chute were fruitless. A brisk wind
had blown the rope connecting the
knife, into the mass OF cordage out
OF his reach.
For fully two miles Maloney ioat-
ed along. The gas was leaking from
the big bag above him, and he. pre-
pared for the long drop. Maloney
and the balloon came earthward rap
idly. As it neared the earth. the
canvas fell about the body of the
aeronaut AMI prevented him from
seeing whore he was falling.
The balloonist struck in half
standing position on the top OF a
big cedar post. used by a farmer to
mark of his field His back was
terribly torn and his left arm bad
ly injured.
A long line Of automobiles headed
by one carrying Governor Curtis
Guild. a visitor at the fair, rushed
to where Maloney had fallen. The
man was picked up in a semi-con-
scious condition. and was hurried TO
his hotel in Barnstable Center. Ply
sicians say that he is not internally
injured and will recover.

GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

We have repeatedly called atten-
tion to the fact that the street cars
should be required to use tenders TO
prevent a person from being crushed
under the wheels i'm case OF collision
Our requests have gone unhceled.
Had the cars used Tenders The hor-
rible accident Of yesterday would
most likely have been avoided. 1t
is n case of utter carelessness on
the part of the company.
Where tenders are used with trim
ping device TO drop the front par.
of the fender on the rail in case of
collision with any object IL is i'm
possible for car TO run over a
person.
The child who was killed yester-
day near Allen street crossing was
frightfully mangled His arm and
leg We're cut of by the wheels of the
car in sight OF his mother. Had =
fender been used the child could Not
have gone under the car and its life
would have been saved.
The Buestone Traction company
have Tenders in its car barn. but for
some reason does not take the trou-
BILE to attach them to its cars. We
have never known q city other than
Bluefeld TO allow street cars IN be
run without fender The council
has power TO require the use of
Aevery life saving device on the part
the company. We have appealed
20 the company throgh the columns
of this paper to use tenders on its
cars, and failing in this. we appealed
to the city council, the result being
eqally futile
In case a child is struck as the
cars are run at present. il can not
escape going under the car and be-
ing crushed to death.
We again appeal to the city coun-
Gil TO take this matter in hand The
cars should not he allowed TO run
another day without tenders
If this request goes unheedad. the
people have still remeIy
can go into cOrt and ask that the
company be enioined from running
its cars without tenders
Every effort should be made TO
safeguard human life Every pre-
canton should be used by the street
car company
They have absolutely no excuse
for failing TO use tenders. Nav this
carelessness be remedied in some
way. If not by the company or
council. let the people see that their
rights are not absolutely ignored at
the risk Of human life.
