Berlin, April I7.-The balloon
Delitzsch, belonging to the Bitter
field Aero Club, was struck by light
ming during a violent storm early
this morning. The four occupants
were killed.
The exact circumstances can
never be known, for the only evi-
dences are the wrecked balloon and
the shattered bodies of the men
who met their fate unseen, with
out the possibility Of human help.
1t was a calm, clear evening when
the Delitzsch rose in the air at Bit
terteld, and the occupants were en-
thusiastlc over the perfect condi-
tons for night trip. Herr Luft,
a Bitterfeld merchant and an ex-
peTlenced amateur ballOOniSt, and
Pilot Lueschenring, an expert aero
naut, were well qualified to balance
any lack Of experience on the part
OF their companions, two Leipzig
merchants named Graupner and
Hoecker.
STORM GATHERS SUDDENLY.
A moonlight night OF rare beauty and
calmness followed the fine evening and
nobody foresaw the fierce storm which
gathered with extraordinary suddenness
later.
Early this morning a resident Of
Reichensachsen, about sixty miles from
Bitterfeld, heard among peals Of thunder
one crash so loud that he believed light
ming had struck house, but not hearing
anything further likely 10 support this
belief he went to sleep again. Going
out after daylight. he was astonished 70
find a wrecked balloon and four distorted
bodies lying in HIS garden. The bag Of
the balloon was ripped and torn It was
hanging in tree, through the boughs
Of which the men had evidently fallen.
Tho smashed car OF the balloon was
nearby
From the condition OF the bodies and
the deep depressions in the ground Il
was evident that they had fallen from
great height. It also became apparent
upon examination that the disaster was
due to lightning striking the balloon.
Thought Dead Before Fall.
Whether It also killed the occupants Is
not quite certain. but there were sufi-
cient indications to encourage the be-
lief that they were spared the awful
experience OF falling alive 20 death.
Herr Lueschenrlng was engaged to steer
the Parsifal airship on the passenger
route from Munich to Oberammerpau
which viii be inaugurated shortly.
The disaster. following others that have
lately happened In Germany, incidentally
illustrates the enormous impetus given 10
aeronautics in the empire. initially due
TO Count Zeppelin's example. The gov
ernments aim TO lead the world in
aerostation has infected the country with
flight fever. and besides official and com
mercial enterprises running in the air
have become a fashionable craze. Every
large town now has a balloon club, and
ascents are so constant that accidents
are likely henceforth 10 be as frequent
as automobile disasters.
