THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY, JULY 22, i89& 13 EXPLOITS IN THE AIR. Jeffries the First to Hake Balloon Ascensions for Science. THE ENGLISH CHANNEL CROSSED. The Greatest Height Ever Soared hj Air ship Is Seven Miles. FIRST FATAL ACCIDENT WAS IS 17S5 Ballooning at the publio expense has re ceived a serious set-back in Boston, as a re sult of the fatal ascension on the Fourth of July. The city fathers -haTe, one by one, in the privacy of their castles, resolved that they never again will give their con sent to any exhibition or any form of rapid transit, especially aerial, that puts human lives in jeopardy, says a writer in the Bos ton Herald. Possibly their sensibilities, or those of their successors, if such be chosen, may be less acute next year, when the question of the Fourth of July programme comes up, than they are now, but if not the crowds who gather on the Common, in 1893 will strain their eyes in vain forthe swaying airship and its venturesome pilot. As much as the death of the veteran aeronaut and his unfortunate assistant is to be regretted, the accident, in face of its ob vious and preventable causes, ought not to be given too great weight in.computing the risks of aerial navigation. TIves r.ost in All Other" Ventures. A public that has learned to read the dis asters that follow in the train of excursion steamers, misplaced switches and the elec tric motor.and still retains a liberal measure of charity for those who are dealing with the problems of transportation on land and water, ought not to be too censorious if now and then a life is lost by thosewho are ex perimenting with locomotion in another element Aeronautics have bad an interest for Bos tonians for more than a century. It was a Boston man, Br. John Jeffries, grandfather of Dr. B. Joy Jeffries, of this city, who, in January, 1785, crossed the English channel in a balloon. This was the first ascent ever made for scientific purposes. Dr. Jeflries said: "I wished to see the following points more clearly determined: First, the power of ascending or descend ing at pleasure while suspended and float ing in the air; second, the efiect which oars or wings might be made to produce toward the purpose, and in directing the course of the balloon; third, the state and tempera ture of the atmosphere at different heights irom the earth; fourth, by observing the varying course of the currents of air or winds at certain elevations, to throw some new light on the theory of winds in general." Dr. Jeffries Makes His Preparations. Dr. Jeflries took with him a thermome ter, a barometer, a hydrometer, a pocket electrometer, a mariner's compass and other appliances. The barometer was new, made lor the purpose by Jones, or .Loudon, and graduated down to 18 inches. The refreshments inclnded wine, one bottle of which was brought to Boston, where Queen Victoria's father helped to drink it under interesting circumstances. As Duke of Kent he was visiting in Boston and at tended the wedding of Uancy von Geyer, a celebrated beauty, and Mr. Bufus Greene Armory. The Duke, by virtue of his rank, was first to kiss the bride, and atterward partook of the wine his physi cian. Dr. Jeflries, had sent to honor the occasion. Afterward Dr. Jeffries' son, Dr. John Jeffries, married the daughter of Mr. Armory, the mother of the present Dr. B. Jov Jeffries. It was this Dr. Jeffries whom the Herald reporter fonnd yesterday at Xo.15 Cbestnnt street, where the sign, "Dr. Jeffries," has remained for more than a century. The house is full of the relics of Dr. Jeflries' eventful voyage across the channel. "Mt grandfather's diary," said Dr. Jef fries, "notes that he started from Dover, England, across the channel withM. Blanch ard as a companion at 1 o'clock Januarv T, 17S3. Tho First TatM Accident the Same Tear. "They had a very successful voyage,and at 3:15 the same afternoon landed in the wood of Gnines in France, about 12 miles from the sea, A monument has since been erected to mark the. spot. A banquet was given to the aeronauts in honorof the event, and 100 years later the aerial vovage was again celebrated in the same hall where Dr. Jeflries was dined." It is remarkable that, following close upon this successful achievement of Dr. Jeflries, in the very same year, came the first fatal accident connected with balloon ing, l'llatre de Rodier and Bomaine Laine attempted to cross lrom France to England in a hydrogen balloon under which a, hot-air balloon was suspended. At the height of 3,000 feet both balloons got afire, and the aeronauts fell upon the rocks near the French coast These two ascensions in 1785, one conduct ed v ith care and successful, and the other without proper precautions and fatal, are an epitome of all the events that the subse quent century has seen. It cannot be denied, however, that even with all the precautions that science and experience can suggest, ballooning is a dangerous pastime. If very generally fol lowed, life insurance companies would find it necessary to put a balloon clause in their policies. A Tile; Iteeord or Successful Ascents. M. Blanchard, Dr. Jeffries' companion, made 66 successful ascents, one being in Hew York in 1796. Mme. Blanchard, how ever, was not so fortunate. She attempted an ascent alone from Paris in 1819 with tome fireworks, when her balloon ignited and she was dashed to pieces in the rue de Provence. Mr. Green, the English aeronaut, presum ably a relative of Trowbridge's "Darius Green," whose songs "were ot Iiutner, or sumthin or nutber," was in the balloon business 30 years, and during that time he made nearly 1,400 ascents, crossing the channel three times and falling into it twice. His best journey was from London to "Weilburg on the continent, a distance of COO miles, covered in 18 hours. Although this beats anything done by his American namesake of "flying machine" fame, it is still true that another Ameri can, Mr. John Wise, has done even better, In July, 1859, in company with Mr. John La Mountain and Mr. Hyde, a St Louis newspaper reporter, be traveled 1,150 miles, from St Louis to Henderson, Jf. Y., in 19 hours 50 minutes, or at an average speed of nearly a mile per minute. This balloon was of oiled silk of about 90,000 oabicleet capacity. Jt is painful to record that both Mr. "Wise and Mr. La Mountain, the heroes of this aerial voyage, met an unhappy fate at a subsequent venture. La Mountain was dashed in pieces. Wise rose from St Louis in company with a reporter named Bnrr. Two Famous Aeronauts Are It. The wind was high and favorable for a long vovage, and so they continued on, not daring to land even if they had wished to do so. isight overtook them with no abate ment in the gale, and tbejrere swept along 800 miles from their starting point, until they were over the waters of Lake Michi- fan. The balloon was a small one. incapa le of remaining np a great while, and finally it collapsed and both voyagers were drowned. Burr's body was washed ashore, but Wise, the veteran aeronaut, sank in his car. Mr. Donaldson, who with Mr. Wise was engaged by the Daily Graphic Company of Uew York to make the balloon trip across the Atlantic, which never occurred, met his end in a way verysimilar to that of Mr. Wise. Mr. Donaldson made his last ascent faom the lake front in , Chicago accom panied by a young man named Grimwood, a reporter for a Chicago paper. They floated off at a ten-mile gait directly np the late, and were lost to view. They were never seen alive again. A terrifio itorm arose that night, and both were lost Thi bodv of Grimwood, with a torn life pre server about it, told all that will be known of their fate. It is probable that Donaldson, like Wise and Prof. Rogers, remained with the car until it struck the water and went down with it The reporters Burr and Grim wood, in both cases, like Goldsmith the other day, struck out for life away from the vehicle that had come to seem to them the engine of destruction. Irft in the Wilds or Maine. In 1872, two experienced voyagew rose from Plvraouth, N. H., and, crossing the White Mountains, they found themselves at nightfall over the wilds of Maine. Dar ing the night they floated over the Cana dian wilderness, and in the morning floated out over the Gulf of St Lawrence. By good fortune a counter current set inshore, where they made a landing, 250 miles below Quebec. A company of five persons from Buffalo were up 13 hours and descended safely. They floated across the State of Pennsyl vania, over the Alleghany Mountains into Maryland, and finally were wafted back to 2few Jersey, where they landed. Seven persons went up from Cleveland one September afternoon, and floated down Lake Erie for 150 miles. After eight hours over the lake they left it on the Canadian side and floated westward over Lake St Clair and Lake Huron, finally landing at midnight at Port Huron. Two voyagers from Chicago were up 19 hours, and then landed, after cruising COO miles, in a dense wilaerness. They were five days without food, but finally reached Chippewa Falls, where they could telegraph home. The highest ascent is claimed bv Coggs well, the English aeronaut, and Glaisher, the meteorologist, who went ud seven miles and were almost frozen to death, as well as prostrated bv the rarity of the atmosphere. Mr. Glaisher became insensible, and Coggs well lost the use of his hands and was obliged to pull the valve cord for their de scent with his teeth. , Balloons TJsed During the Civil War. Early in our Civil War a balloon corps was organized by the United States War Department, with La Mountain, Lour and other experienced aeronauts associated. Mr. Lour first performed the feat of tele graphing 600 feet about the earth, and at the battle of Fair Oaks, which he watehed from the altitude of 2,000 feet, was the first to announce the enemy's retreat to Rich mond. On one occasion, while General Fitz John Porter was watching the enemy from a captive balloon the rope broke and he was earned toward the Confederate lines. By pulling the valve string he caused the balloon to descend, when it struck another current of air that landed him in the Union lines. i The history of the ascents from Boston Common during the past ten years shows that the aeronauts have hardly an even chance of landing on terra firms. In 1883, 1888, 1889, 1891 and 1892 the voyagers have been precipitated into the water off the coast, always with more or less danger and at last with the loss of two lives. In 1883 the party landed in the harbor off Point Shirley; in 1888, with the late Prof. Bogers as aeronaut, the party were rescued ofl Deer Island; in 1889 Prot Allen and Ed. O. Stickney, of the Herald were thrown into the harbor near Fort Winthrop, and last year Ezra S. Allen, of Providence, and John a. .cynes, a reporter, were carried out to sea and dncked again and again, and finally rescued near Marblehead. WILL REMAIN A CONVENT. Part of the Drsnlins Property Bold for Building Iots The Debt Thereby Re duced to S23.000 and the Buildings Are Retained A Big Deal. The TJrsuline Convent at Oakland yester day relieved itself of the distressing debt which has been hanging over it for the past four years by selling nearly the entire Fifth avenne frontage of the grounds to William Hawley and William Loeffler. The consid eration was $100 per front foot for 827 feet on the west end oi the property, and $90 for the balance. According to Mr. Hawley, who furnished the information, he and Mr, Loeffler have bought neaaly 800 feet They intend to begin at once the erection of a row of 14 handsome dwellings on their pur chase, and when these are completed nearly as many more. As fast as they are built the houses with good sized lots will be sold. 'The strip of front tier lots sold will not appreciably injure the convent property. The lots have a depth of 131 feet, the .same as that portion of the property on the west ern limit which has been graded down to the- street level. The upper or eastern part Is to be graded down to the same level at a cost of $15,000, part of which will be borne by parties on Kobinson street whose prop erty lies in a nouow. Mr. Hawley says the work of building will be commenced to-day or to-morrow. The purchase has been made on easy terms, thongh at a figure proportionately in ad vance of what the property had been previ ously held for the whole tract, including buildings and improvements. By the sale of yesterday, with the in come it will bring to the convent trustees, their debt has been reduced to $25,000, which it is expected they will have little difficulty in removing. There has been con siderable talk about this property ever since the disagreement over its ownership three years, ago which resulted in its being transferred from the French nuns who erected it to msnop Jfneian. Alter the destruction of the Pittsburg Female College, about a vear ago, there were nego tiations pending by which the M, E. Church was to buy the convent for college purposes. An offer was made on each side, but for some time nothing has. been done, and the convent trustees, taking it for granted the Methodists had decided not to buy, made a sale yesterday. Real estate men consider the price very reasonable. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FRIDAY m and m SATURDAY. FRIDAY m AND SATURDAY.

Under ordinary conditions, with the craft that are sailing in Boston harbor on the Fourth of July, all aeronauts say they had rather land in the water than anywhere else. "These men in the Governor Russell," said an experienced balloonist yesterday, "were not drowned, they were smothered. They were half asphixiated by the gas be fore the balloon struck the water. "False economy was the real cause of the disaster. The trouble was, poor 'Gus' Bogers was out of money, and the contract was awarded him so late that he found him self in a corner. He had to assign his con tract in order to raise money to buy the cloth. He purchased the very poorest qual ity of cotton cloth, and he did not have time to oil it enough to keep the gas in. "If he could have given it one or two more coats of oil and spread it out to dry for awhile it would have helped some, but the cloth was too thin, anyway. "Prof. Bogers had a good net but that was all. It is a wonder the balloon did not burst before it left the Common. "Just before it started I said to Prof. Bogers: 'At your old tricks, I see going ofl with no life preservers.' " 'What do I want of life preservers,' he leplied, 'I'm an old sailor and can swim.' The Balloon Becomes a Parachute. "The valve of a balloon is at tne ton of the bag. When Prof. Bogers pulled the escape cord, the valve opened, and the neck ot the bag, the material being so thin, was sucked up until it finally closed the aperture in the valve, and the balloon be came a parachute and dropped into the water. Instead of floating clear, as a bal loon should do, it closed down over the basket, while the gas from the rent on the side almost smothered its occupants. Bogers and Goldsmith got out, but Fenton was smothered before he was drowned. "Rogers, no doubt, was too badly affected by the gas to swim. If it hadn't been for that he would probably have been rescued. It was the gas, too, that explains Gold smith's great exhaustion." WITH HOH-UHION KBIT. ' Three Tramps Killed, in a Wreck.
