In view of the reputation, which the Vermont elections have as indicators of the probable outcome of the presidential elections, he said the result should be highly pleasing to Republicans every where.

White River Junction, Vt, Sept. B. The Republicans won the election in Vermont Tuesday by carrying the state for Lieut.. Gov. George H. Prouty of Newport for governor by about 2S,- 900 votes over James E. Burke of Burlington, his Democratic opponent. The plurality was the smallest on presidential year since 1892, when it was only 17.956, and was followed by Democratic national victory, but it was larger than in 1888 and only slightly less than in 1900. There was a falling off in four years of about 8 per cent in the Republican vote, while the Democratic vote fell off about 2 per cent.
 The Independence league appeared for the first time and boiled about LOGO votes, while the Prohibition and Socialistic vote remained about the same. An unusually large number of local contests for members Of the leg Islature. although bringing out heavy vote and resulting in Democratic gains in the lower branch of the legisla- ture. apparently had no bearing on the guberna.orial fight.
 As Vermont is the first state to vote during the presidential campaign, there was much interest throughout the country in the size of the Repub lican plurality.
 At 11:30 D. I'll. Lieut. Gov. Prouty stated to the Associated press that he figured his plurality at 29,S1S over Burke, and believed that the missing towns would bring his margin up to 10000 The governor-elect said:
 'In view of the fact that there were 10 great state issues to create enthusi- asm and arouse interest. the result of the election is very gratifying and shows that the voters are taking great interest in the national cam paign."

Hammondsport, N. Y., Sept. 4.- Charles Oliver Jones was among the younger aeronauts, but his work in the ield had already marked him as one ,f the most successful opponents of ierial navigation. He came here a year ago from his home in Cincinnati, with some entirely new ideas in re- ,ard to airships and joined Alexander Graham Bell and others in their ex- 2eriments with aeroplanes. It was Jones who evolved the famous June Bug" which won the Scientific Amer can trophy offered for heavier-than- ,ir machines, attaining a speed Of ibout 30 miles an hour against the wind.

Wife and Child of Aeronaut Among Those Who Witnessed Frightful Plunge--crowd Tried to Warn Him Of Peril--Frame of Motor Fell on Aeronaut and Crushed Him.

WaterviIIe, Me, Sept. 4.-In full view of 25.000 mortified spectators as sembled on the central Maine fair grounds here late Wednesday, Charles Oliver Jones, the well known aeronaut of Hammondsport, N. Y., fell a dis tance of 800 feet to his death. Among the witnesses of the frightful plunge were Mrs. Jones and child, and they were also the first to reach the side of the dying man. The aeronaut died an hour and half after the accident
 Jones had been at the fair grounds with his dirigible balloon Boomerang, 1" known as Strobel airship. since Monday. Wednesday he arranged to make a flight between three and four o'clock, but such a high wind pre- vailed that delay was necessary. At 4:30 conditions had modified and he gave the word to have the machine released
 When the aeronaut reached height of more than 500 feet the spectators were amazed to see small tongues of flames issuing from under the gas bag in front of the motor. Many persons endeavored to abprise Jones of his Hanger, but several minutes elapsed before he noticed the fire. Then he grasped the rip cord and by letting put gas endeavored to reach the earth. The machine had descended but short distance when a sudden burst of flames enveloped the gas bag, the framework immediately separating srom the bag. Jones fell with the frame of his motor and when the spec .ators reached him he was lying un- Ter It. The gas bag was completely destroyed.
 The physicians found that Jones lad no chance to survive, as he was injured internally, and his spine was broken. Jones had trouble with his balloon Tuesday on account of cold weather Monday night, which caused ! number of leaks, through the con traction of the gas bag. It is thought. hat the bag leaked again Wednesday, md that a spark from the motor caused the disaster. Jones was 40 rears old and leaves widow and child.
