|A|RSH|P ACCIDENT
ONE OF ITS WINGS SUFFERS
DAMAGE IN ALiGHTlNG.
BRILLIANT FLIGHT PREcEDEs
Wilbur Wright Keeps Aeroplane In
Air Nearly Nine Minutes
Before Accident.

lie Mans, France, Aug. 1.-THE
Wright aeroplane suffered an acci'
dent yesterday morning which will
require several days and possibly q
week to repair. After two superb
flights Wilbur Wright essayed new
and daring method of descent. He
stopped the motor at a height OF sew
enty-five feet and tried to come to
earth on a gradually descending
glide. The calculations were not aD'
solutely correct, and the left wing OF
the aeroplane came In contact with
the ground. This tore the frame
of the machine. Mr.. Wright was not
injured
Mr.. Wright said he did not regard
the accident as serious, and explain
ed that these were only incident eA-
periences devoted to acquiring com.
plete mastery of the difficulties OF
aviation and the execution of new
maneuvers.
Mr.. Wright's first flight yesterday
morning eclipsed all his former ef'
forts. He made seven complete tours
of the field over the tops OF the
trees, According to official time he
was in the air eight minutes and
ffty-three seconds. The aeroplanist
was incommoded by a f1fteen-mile
breeze, but in spite of this he show
ed greater facility in maneuvering
than he did when there was dead
calm. His landing was easy and sue
cessful in every way.
Mr.. Wright's second flight, which
lasted two minutes, was a novel one.
The aeroplanist scared and descended
at will, executing bewildering turns.
Suddenly as approaching the grand
stand, the machine lost it's speed and
began curving slowly toward the
earth. All appeared to be going well
until it was tilted to leeward, and
the delicate frame work struck the
ground, with the result that it was
deranged and torn.
Mr.. Wright calmly stepped out and
examined the wreck. He was quickly
surrounded by anxious friends to
whom he explained that there had
been no accident in the air, but that
he had merely decided to try new
descent. He shut off the motor at a
height of seventy-five feet and en-
deavored to float downward. The real
cause of the accident was the attempt
to land exactly on the spot of his
departure. In listing the planes at
the last moment in an attempt to
continue the sliding progress he pull
ed the left plane too sharply.
The damage can be repaired easily
although because of the absence of
the necessary material the work will
require several days.
Among the spectators yesterday
were Miss Morgan, daughter of J. P
Morgan. NJ. Capserer, the engineer Of
the French dirigible balloon Vile de
Paris, and other French enthusiasts.

| Dead Statesman.
Dubuque.--As he lived so was Sen
ator William B. Allison laid to eternal
rest on the afternoon of the 8th, with
the simplest ceremonies devoid of all
ostentation. Services were held at
the residence Of the dead statesman
and while not private, the accommoda,
tions at the home only permitted the
presence of the distinguished visitors
and the senator's closest friends
The services were very simple, Rev.

ster Presbyterian church officiating,
and consisted of the reading of the
Twenty.third Psalm and the First
Epistle of Paul, the Apostle to the
Corinthians, 18th chapter, and a
prayer. TheSe was no music. The
interment at Linwood cemetery was
private and after the Presbyterian
committal service had been read by
DR.. Bergen, the body Of the honored
dead was lowered into its last resting
place on the hillside which overlooks
the Mississippi river.
All Dubuque paid silent tribute ia
the memory Of Senator Allison during
the day. From 4 until o'clock not a
wheel turned throughout the city and
every business house closed its doors.
The city was in sombre hue. Flags
hung at half mast from public build
ings and hundreds of homes and all
buildings displayed crepe, and crepe
framed portraits of the dead senator
were displayed in the windows Of all
business houses. A most effective fea-
ture of the ciG's insignia OF sorrow
was the festooning with black and
white of the trolley poles the entire
length of Main street.
The body of the senator lay in state
on Friday afternoon and evening and
thousands Of the people Of the city
viewed the remains. The body re-
posed in a plain bronze casket on a
bier in the front parlor of his home.
The only floral tributes were blan-
ket of American Beauty roses which
completely covered the casket, an en-
blem of the Loyal Legion and the ma
tional flag. The features of the SEN
ator were calm in death and there
was little evidence of his having
failed during his last illness. The
pallbearers were intimate friends Of
the deceased and all Dubuquers.
There were many distinguished Wis
itors, men high in the councils of the,
state and nation, in attendance at the
funeral. Besides the congressional
committees named by Vice President
Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon, there
was large delegation from Des
Moines consisting of Gov. Cummins
and other state officers.
