TRAIN HITS PARACHUTE AS
HE DROPPED FROM SKY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 19.-Twice In
q daring balloon ascension and 'fall'
here today, Vincent Morris an aero
naut of Woodmont Conn. faced death.
The crowd was thoroughly thrilled.
When the aeronaut was ready to cut
loose from the balloon high I'm the air,
the parachute failed to work properly,
turned upside down and opened. It
looked as though Morris was i'm fear
full peril. His feat is to descend in
three parachutes, one opening inside
the other
The aeronaut abandoned the up
turned parachute and, by letting out
the gas in the balloon, which had gone
up until c was q mere speck i'm the
sky lowered himself nearer the earth
and came down calmly in the second
parachute.
AS he was slowly dropping the roar
and rumble of an approaching train
was heard. Then, to the crowds hor-
ror, it was seen that Morris was de-
scending in the trains path. BY a
frantic manipulation of the parachute
he managed to guide it alongside the
track; but even then the suction of
the Pennsylvania flyer dragged it in
and tore away part of the parachute.
Morris just escaped death.

volver in each hand, Mac" Carpenter,
an Arkansas farmer, entered the home
of G. c. Stogsdill today shortly after
the husband had gone to work, and
said to Mrs Stogsdill:

and be quick about it, and come with
me. It's back to Arkansas for you.
You see these pistols. l mean business.
Hurry!"
When Stogsdill came home his wife

WILL
LEAD VARSITY
GREAT SPRINTER TO RUN AT
u. S. C.
Coach Holmes Has Promising outlay
Of Clnder Observation-Disclosures
and Comstoek Should Be
Point Winners

The University Of Southern Cali
fornia is to have one of the fastest
track teams this season that has rep
resented the college in years.
First on the track team comes a. G.
Parsons, who will probably be the star
of the college this year. Parsons
shares jointly in the holding of the
amateur 100-yard dash, making the
distance in Q As seconds This he did
while in Portland Ore, August 5, 1905.
1t is probable that there is no other
man in the amateur class In Southern
California who can give Parsons a hot
race for the championship which u.
S. c. hopes to annex. Parsons will not
devote all his time to the 100-yard
mark, but is to go several of the
shorter distances.
Cooper, captain of the track team,
is also a, very good man who will
make things warm for any cinder ath-
lete who goes against him. Cooper is
q good short distance man and will
probably take several of the events
in which he is scheduled to run.
These two men, with the aid of Clee
and Clitten, will be the principal con-
testants in the dashes and should
bring honors to the college. There are
few who will be able to make better
showing than these four men. There
are many Otner younger ana newer
men trying for position on the team,
some of whom will make good and
others who will graduate into the
middle and long distance classes.
The university has in Richardson
a man who possesses the ability to
take several of the field honors in the
coming season He will try for the
shot-put, pole-vault, the high and
broad jumps among other things.
Among the many contestants for
these honors Richardson ranks among
the best. In the pole-vault he Is one
of the star men in the southern part
of the state.
ComstoclI, another of the many good
men at the university, will make a
feature of the pole-vault and should,
with the aid of Richardson, score the
highest number of points for the uni
versity
Wirsching also will try for the pole

PANORAMA HAS
NEW MANAGER
RICHARD STRONG HAS ASSUMED
CHARGE

Richard Strong, better known as
Dick" is now the manager of the
Panorama rink. Mr.. Strong's advance
ment is in large manner due to the
resignation of Max Asher, who goes
the Pavilion rink.
Mr.. Strong, like the man he succeeds,
has a host of friends and the news of
his advancement will be a genuine
pleasure to all who are acquainted with
his genial ways.
Dick has the distinction of being
the youngest rink manager in the
United States. For several years Mr.
Strong was identified with the Be
lasco theater enterprises at San Fran
cisco, and was sent to Los Angeles
just after the shake" in that city.
The Panorama will prosper under
Strong's management.
Mr. and Mrs. Asher left for San
Francisco last night.

MUST QUIT RING
Or HIS CITY JOB
"KID" S0L0M0NS HEAD is IN
DANGER
Public Works inspector Inclined to
Think That PuglIsm and Sewer
Flushing Do Not Go
Hand In Hand

Now that Kid Solomon has chal-
lenged Attell, the winner Of the cham
pionshlp Friday night, the ambitious
fighter may have to seek other en-
ployment for his city job is in jeop-
ardy.
This startling rumor went the rounds
of the city hall yesterday and caused
much discussion there.
Solomon is on the city's sewer flush
ing gang, has been a good worker and
made many friends, but Inspector of
Public Works Edwards is inclined to
think that sewer flushing and pugillsm
do not go well together.
As an employee on the civil service
list Solomon is amenable to it's rules
and the question has been raised as
to whether he is violating the rules in
appearing in the ring.
Fellow employees would hate to see
Solomon leave the gang He gets SIS
a week and works hard for It, but
above all his presence is valuable be-
cause he has q marked influence in
keeping the streets clear when the
nushers are at work,
Time was when teamsters paid little
attention to the sewer gang. They
would not think of stopping their
horses or to give the flushers and their
hose apparatus n chance to work and
their operations We're often delayed by
this stubbornness and lack of respect.
1t is not so now. The teamsters know
Solomon.
While Inspector Edwards intimates
that Solomon must cut out the fight
business, other members of the board
of public works say he is probably not
in earnest. Nearly all the street and
sewer department employees attend the
fights at Maud pavilion not to mention
scores of city officials and heads of
departments, and all of them profess
faith in Solomon, Notwithstanding the
unfortunate Green affair of some time
ago.

vault and will possibly have q chance
of showing of what he is made before
the season is well under way. This
gives U. S. g. three men trying for
the pole-vault, all of whom are gems
of the first water.
Elliott Is out for the hurdle events
and is one Of the strongest men in
the class. Y. S. G.. has Lennox for
the middle distances and with the as
sistance Of several of the younger men,
OF whom there are plenty, will make
u good showing during the coming
season.
