THE BALLOON TRIP
Travelled 33l TILES in About Ten
Hour.

The Philadelphia Record contained
the balloon which landed in Garrett
county last Wednesday morning:
After thrilling and record breaking
night flight of twelve hours and thirty
five minutes, the balloon Philadelphia ii
and its three passengers, Ira l.. Brown,
DR.. George H. Simmerman and DR..
Thomas Eldridge, pilot, landed safely
Wednesday morning at 9.05 on top of
Negro Mountain, Garrett county, Md.
Ten hours later their anxious friends in
this city, who had seen the balloon rise
from Point Breeze at $50 the night be-
fore and disappear in the darkness,
borne on the wings of 20-mile breeze,
received their first news of the voyagers
in the shape of this telegram from
Grantsville, Md:
"Broke local time record. Landed at
9.05, Negro Mountain, Maryland. Very
cold crossing the Allegheny Mountains.
Wonderful cloud effects night and day.
Altitude, $4,000 feet. Distance about
331 miles"
While the balloonists failed to accom-
plish the main purpose of their trip, to
make the first air voyage across the
boundary line into Canada. they did sue
coed in fulfilling their second purpose,
of winning the local record for time
in the air. This they did by the narrow
margin of five minutes. their time be-
ing II hours and 50 minutes against the
II hours and 80 minutes set by the Ben
Franklin, which, strangely enough,
landed also on Maryland soil. The dis
lance traversed on Wednesdays trip is
second only to the record established by
Dr. Eldridge and Welsh Strawbridge on
a recent flight, which began in this city
and ended near Danbury, n. H., a dis
tance of about $50 miles.
The ascension was favorable in every
respect, except in the direction of
the wind, which blew I'm 0
directly from the east, instead of from
the southeast, as the balloonists had
hoped. The moon was shining, how
ever, and the sky was Just cloudy
enough to make a delightful picture for
the air navigators. The wind carried
them rapidly out of the range of vision
of the spectators and at 500 they were
already passing over SWathmore. Their
landing place is almost directly in line
with the direction which the balloon took
at the start, showing remarkably steady
winds and the absence of the southerly
breezes which were counted upon to
swing the bag northward into Canadian
territory.
Negro Mountain is about five miles
from Grantsville, the village from which
the first telegram was sent, and about
% miles directly west of Cumberland,
Md 1t is not more than 20 miles from
the western boundary of Maryland and
about five miles from the line of Somer-
set county, Pennsylvania.

MYSTERIOUS END OF BARNUM BOY
Son of Isaac Ashley Shot by Stray Bull
let While He was at Play.

Saturday at Barnum, ten-year- old
son of Isaac Ashley, stable boss for
the Marstellar Coal Company, met with
instant death and the direct cause will
probably always remain a mystery.
Young Ashley and a brother a year or
two his senior, were playing in a clear
ing near home. Suddenly the boy fell
and his brother discovered blood flow
ing from wound in his neck. When
help was had the lad was dead. DR.. z.
T. kalbaugh, of Piedmont, who was in
attendance at the postmortem examina-
ton, said death was produced by gun
shot wound. The surviving brother claims
he heard shot in the big woods nearby
where the tragedy occurred. AS no
reason for wilful murder can be had. it
is supposed the bullet was fired by some
hunter in the woods at game or mark,
and travelled some distance from a long
range rifed firearm.
The lads name was Henry Sny der
Ashley. When the accident occurred
the mother rushed out of the house i'm
mediately on hearing the shot and pick
ed up her boy. who died few minutes
later, the shot having gone clear
through his neck. The remains of the
little fellow were buried Monday after
noon in Heights grave yard, near
Hampshire

ly confused hip. He was brought to
Oakland Immediately after the accident
and placed in the Home Sanitorium
where he is being attended by DR.. M.
c. Hinebaugh.
Owing to Mr.. Lees advanced age, he
being 80, the chances for his recovery
are slight.

WATER SHORTAGE ON
LINE Of THE B. & D.
Drought is Causing Trouble At oints
West of Oakland.

Owing to shortage of water, condi-
tons have become alarming along the
line of the B. & o. All through trains
east have been taking water at New
burg, and some of the trains usually
taking water at Rowlesburg going west
have been backed off at Newburg for
water. Water is being hauled to New
burg from Grafton, and to Terra Alta
and Rowlesburg from Oakland, where
it can be obtained. 1t is reported that
there are more than dozen dead en-
gines at Terra Alta, the water having
given out at that point and the fires
pulled.
The Porter Brocklehurst Co., and the
Simms Co., are also seriously handicap
ped for water and progress with the
third track grading is slow for that rea-
sons. The machinery for the placing
of the large dam up Postum Hollow near
of grading has already begun. This
dam is to be one of the largest IN West
Virginia, and will altogether alleviate
conditions arising from shortage of
water. When completed and filled it
will contained about fifty millions gal
lons.of water, covering a space of more
than fifteen acres.
Just as soon as the Porter Brockle-
hurst Co. completes the third track
grading, they will move their machinery
to Three Fork, where they will grade
the extension of the Hardman Branch
seven miles up the valley to the mouth
of Bird Creek where new mines will be
open for coking purposes. This branch
again makes possible the development
Of the rich iron ore deposits along this
valley, which were worked at Irondale
several years ago, and abandoned.

land is taken from the Little Yough
A dam has been constructed at the
pump station here, but on Monday the
two large pumps at work drained the
pool and as result one of the pumps
was shut down. Oakland is the only
point between 40-Water Station and
Grafton where water may be obtained
and unless rain falls within the next
few days the situation here will become
very serious.
At the municipal pumping station the
supply seems to be adequate for present
uses.

LARGE AUDITORIUM ON FIRE
Crossed Wires Started Blaze and
Structure May Have Been Destroyed.

Only by the timely discovery of fire
in the basement of the large auditorium
at Mountain Lake Park on last Friday
night, caused by crossed electric wires.
was the building saved from total de-
struction, and the loss of many thou
sands of dollars averted.
DIR. Davidson, the superintendent, had
delayed his departure from the building
after the evenings entertainment had
closed and while attending to some mat
tiers upon the platform smoke was no.
ticed issuing from the stairway leading
from the basement. A hurried inspec-
ton was made and the fire was discov-
cred leaping upward along the wall from
point where the charged electric wires
came in contact. By the application of
few buckets of water the fire was ex-
tinguished and the handsome building
saved as prey of the flames.
