WELLMAN AGAIN IN PORT
AFTER HIS SEA RESCUE
Crew of Balloon America Reach New

New York.-Walter Wellman and
his five companions were landed here
by the steamship Trent, which picked
them up at sea after they had aban-
doned their dirigible balloon America,
and failed in tie first attempt ever
made to cross the Atlantic in a diri
eible balloon. After landing the party
was taken to the Waldorf-Astoria,
where Wellman will make his head

arm and one of the fingers of his
right hand, the man who directed this
daring attempt TO cross the ocean !

shape although his nerves are some

the conclusion that il the present de-
velopment of the dirigible the task
he undertook is hopeless one.
News of the rescue came in two
wireless messages from Capt. Down
Of the Trent. one reporting to the
company agents here and another in
forming the New York Times of the

In abandoning their craft the crew
of the airship America lowered them
selves into the lifeboat which swung
beneath it, Then they cast the life
boat off and were afloat on the sea.
The airship, relieved of the weight of
the lifeboat, shot high into the air
and was blown away rapidly. The
transfer of the Wellman party from
the lifeboat to the Trent was made
with great difficulty,

DAVID BENNETT HILL
DIES AT RURAL HOME
Pire State Succun1bs to Biliousness
Once Urged for Presidency.

Albany, n. Y.-Former Senator and
Governor David Bennett Hill passed
away suddenly at his country home at
Wolferts Roost after a short illness.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Hill was
seized with a bilious attack while at
his law office in this city, and although
his condition was not considered seri-
Gus at the time his physician advised
him to remain at home for a few days
until he recovered.
A cold developed, and a few days
later alarming reports of his condition
were circulated. These reports, how
ever, were denied by friends; in fact,
the patient appeared to be on the road
TO recovery until Wednesday night,
when he suffered a sinking spell, which
resulted in his death.
In 1882 he was elected lieutenant
governor on the same ticket with
Grover Cleveland and following Cleve-
lands election to the presidency of the
United States Mr.. Hill became gov
ernor, subsequently being elected for
two terms. He was governor for
seven years.
IN 1891 Mr. Hill was elected United
States senator. In 1894 he was once
more the candidate of the Democratic
party for governor, but was defeated
by Levi P. Morton, his Republican OPP
ponent
Mr.. Hill was the candidate of the
New York Democrats for the nomina-
ton for president in 1892, but Mr.
Cleveland was renominated for that
Office.
In 1904 Mr.. Hill was credited with
being the political sponsor Of Alton
B. Parker, who was nominated for the
presidency by the Democratic national
convention at ST. Louis
Following that election Mr. Hill an
bounced mis- permanent retirement
from politics, and since that time he
has devoted himself solely to the prac-
dce OF his profession.
For many years Mr.. Hill was mem
her OF the Democratic state committee
and in 1876 and 1884 he was delegate
to the national conventions which nom
mated Tilden and Cleveland respec
lively.
