AERoNAUT DASHED TO DEATH
MIstook Signal at Portland, Me, and Cut Loose From Balloon
 Too Soon.

Portland, Me, July 7.--Mistaking the promiscuous firing of revolvers by the crowd below as signal agreed upon for cutting loose his parachute. James Corcoran, an aeronaut. 2S years old. of Lowell. Mass, cut loose with his parachute when about 500 feet from the earth at the Fourth of July celebration here and was dashed to the ground. meeting almost instant death in the presence of 5000 specta- tors.
 Corcoran was employed by Prof. Joseph Laroux of this city. with whom the municipal authorities contracted for balloon ascensions and parachute jumps, at the Eastern promenade. It was arranged that Corcoran should drop with his parachute from height of 5000 feet when he heard a certain number of revolver shots from Laroux on the ground.
 When Corcoran, not hearing Laroux shout to him to keep on up cut loose. The distance was too short for the parachute to open properly and the man dropped like plummet. strik- ing the ground about 1000 feet from where the ascension was made.
 He was still alive when picked up, but he had fracture of the skull and soon died.

TOM TAGGARTs NAME BROUGHT INTO THE RECORD OF THE
 GiNGLEs CASE,
IRISH GIRL STILL ON STAND
Declared the Mysterious French Lick Man Was the Former Democratic Chairman-state Attorneys Believe Girl Victim of Mythomania.

Chicago, July 7.-The name of Tom Taggart of French Lick Springs. Ind. ex-charman of the Democratic Nation al Committee, was at last brought into the record of the Ella Gingles trial in Judge Brentano's court here to-day.
 The young Irish lacemaker, on cross examination, had told of the alleged search of her room by Miss Agnes Bar rette. her accuser, and the late Mrs. Kenyon. looking for lace which Miss Barretto said Miss Gingles had stolen This brought the story around to Miss Gingles' visit to Miss Barrette's room at the Wellington hotel on a subse- quent occasion when, according to Miss Gingles. she was forcibly dis robed by Miss Barrette and Mrs. Ken yon.
 Did you fight against them?" the assistant states attorney. Mir Short, asked
 Yes, until was worn our with cry ing and my exertions."
 Was any man mentioned?"
 Yes"
 "Who was it?"
 T don't remember"
 Try"
 Tt was Tom Taggart. I believe"
 Are you sure that was the name?"
 Yes"
 You knew he was proprietor of French Lick Springs?"
 Yes"
 Are you sure you heard that name theref"
 Yes"
 Isn't 1t fact that you were told that name to make a sensation in your story?"
 No, sir"
 Who mentioned the name?"
 Miss Barrette. She said if Tag gart were only here.'"
 Last Friday Miss Gingles testleed that she had been told she could have plenty of money, good clothes and no work if she would go to French Lick Springs. There have been frequent references in the case to a man from French Lick Springs. but the name has not before been mentioned
 What did you think when Miss Bar rette told you the advantages of this Visit?" Mir. Short asked today.
 q thought she meant was to mar " man"
 Judge Brentano's courtroom was crowded and 1t was necessary to clear the aisles when Ella Gingles resumed the witness stand in her own behalf It Is the theory of the state that the young Irish lace maker is a victim of mythomania. firmly believing that the remarkable stories she has told are the truth.
 The cross-examination by Attorney Short started with interrogations con rerrtng Miss Gingles' knowledge of the lace she Is alleged to have stolen from Miss Barrette.

DISPOSITIONS BEING TAKEN
In Suits Against Waters-Pierce on Co. Charged With Violating State
 Anti-Tfust Laws.

Batesville, Ark, July 5.-Paul Butler began the work of taking dispositions in the suits against the Waters-Pierce Oil Company today. The company is charged with violating the state antitrust law. MT. Butler will visit a num- Der of places to secure evidence which Prosecuting Attorney Jeff fiery believes will show that a combination exists.
 These suits have been pending in the circuit court for over a year. The aggregate penalties ii con- victiou is secured will amount to over S4,0O0,OO0. Prosecuting Attorney Jeffery thinks that the state has a stronger case than even the state of Texas had against the same company which was forced to pay a penalty of about $2, 100000 there.
