Mangled Bodies of Four Aero
nauts Found In a Garden.
From the Condition of the Bodies
and Depressions In the Ground It
Wat Evident the Men Had Fallen
a Great Distance One of the Vic
tims Had Been Engaged to Steer
the Parteval Airship on Passenger
Route From Munich.
Tl'.o balloon Dclltsch, belonging to
the Illtterfeld Aero club of Berlin was
.truck by lightning during a violent
s'orm Sunday morning. Tho four oc
ct'pnntB were killed.
Htrr Luft, a Bltterfeld merchant
end an experienced amateur balloon
ist, and Pilot Lueschenring, un expert
aeronaut, wero well qualified to bal
ance any lack of experience on the
part of their companions, two Lelp
7.IB merchants named Graupner and
Hoccker.
A moonlight night of rare beauty
nnd calmness followed the fine even
ing and nobody foresaw the storm
which gatherrd with extraordinary
uuddenness later. Early Sunday morn
ing a resident of Relchensachson,
about Gu miles from Illtterfeld. heard
among peals of thunder one crash bo
loud that he believed lightning had
struck a r.ouse, but not hearing any
Ining further likely to Biipport this
belief he went tr. sleep again. Goin?
out after daylight he v.'as astonished
to find a wrecked balloon and four
distorted bodies of men lying in his
garden. The ba;,' of the balloon was
ripped and tapered in an amazing
fashion. It was hanging In a tree,
through the bcughs of which the men
had evidently fallen. Tho smashed
car of tho balloon was nearby.
From the condition of the bodies
and the deep depressions in tho
ground, it was evident that ihey had
fallen from a great height. H also
became apparent upon examination
that the disaster was due to lightning
striking the balloon. Whether It
also killed the occupants is not quite
certain, but there were sufficient in
dications to encourage the belief that
(hey were spared the awful experi
ence of falling alive to death.
Herr Lueschenring was engaged to
stcr tho Parsoval airship on the pas
senger route from Munich to Ober
ammargau, which will be Inaugurated
shortly.
The disaster following others that
hive lately happened In Germany in
cidentally illustrates the enormous
Impetus given to aeronautics in the
empire naturally due to Count Zep
pelin's example. The government's
aim is to lead the world In arrosta
tions. Kvery lnrge town bis a bal

University of Wooster Declines to Be
a Beneficiary Because of String.
The University of Wooster will not
be made a beneficiary of the Carnegie
pension fund for superannuated pro
the Presbytery of Dayton, representing
the resbytery of Dayton, representing
all Presbyterian churches in live
counties In Southwestern Ohio.
At. a meting of delegates held at
Hamilton Tuesday a determined stand
was taktn against accepting any of
the Laird of Skibo's money, because
Carnegie had a string to the gift'. He
stipulated thnt in order to obtain the
money the university would have to
be rcleas'.d from all denominational
control.
The delegates had a lively debate,
but finally voted unanimously to re
ject the offer, so the charter of the
school of learMns will not te changed
to meet ths court it 'mis Imposed by
the steel Wimj'r nsiisJdn system.
It. was argued 'w most of the speak
ers that to accept tho money would be
tantamount to forfeiting principle;
that the university could not be sev
ered from church control and that the
institution would even lose financial
ly by accepting the proposition.

PASSENGERS ALLSAFE
Women and Children Placed In
Lifeboats First.
Most of the Passengers Were Asleep
When the Minnehaha Struck on the
Scilly Pocks Officers Say That Ow
ing to Thick Weather They Had
Been Unable to Take Observations
For Three Days Vessel to Be Re
floated as Soon as It Is Lightered.
London, April 19. The latest re
l irts from the Scilly Inlands, where
the Atlantic transport liner Minne
haha went ashore In the fog early
Monday morning, say the crew of the
rhip U now employed In salving the
cargo. '
The Minnehaha lies on her side on
Mie Scilly rock with her bow pointing
to the westward. She has a hole
amldt-hips and there are 20 feet of wa
ler in her hold. The engine and boil
er rooms are Intact, but It Is not
thought likely that she will be floated
at the nroct high tide. The captain
and crew are still aboard.
When it was seen that the ship was
taking in wat-.r (he lifeboats were low
ered. The women were placed In
these first and the men passengers
afterwards.
Two boats that bad meantime ar
rived from Bryer Island piloted the
ship's boats towards the shore. The
boats subsequently returned for the
passengers' baggage and also for pro
visions, as the resources on Bryer is
lind, which is the nearest inhabited
Island In Rcillv, were somewhat over
taxed. The passengers are all well.
The oilicere of the Minnehaha say
that owing to the thick weather they
had been unable to take observations
for three days. Late at night the
lookout was eagerly searching for
Bishop lighthouse when he sighted
rocks ahr-Rd. One passenger says he
distinctly felt a grating sensation and
a minute later the ship struck.
Captain Laylard Bavs that, he ex
pects that the vessel will be refloated
as soon as the cargo has been suffl;
clently lightened.
Word has been received here that
most of the passengers were asleep
when the liner struck. Only four
were on deck, the rest having gone
below long before. One of these who
bad remained up said that he was
Rtnnding amidships and looking over
the rail when he suddenly saw rocks
ahead. Almo.it at the Bame Instant
the captain noticed a rock alongside
and he ordered the ship put about so
as to head to seaward.
"We thought we were safe," this
passenger said, "but in less than five
niinutc3 the ship struck and remain
ed fast. Kveryone was called on deck.
The ladies generally had but little
time to tend to their toilet, as a large
number of them appeared on deck in
scanty attire."
The correspondent of the Sun
wires that he saw most of the pas
sengers pnd thnt all agree as to the
utter absence of anything resembling
a panic. All were loud in their praise
of the olllcers, especially the captain
nnd man. The passengers are now
comfortably settled In hotels, two of
which are situated on St. Mary'a. One
hundred men are camping In the town
hall. Every lodging house Is packed
to the door.

FORCE READY TO QUIT
Town's Sole Police Officer Roasts Pub
lic For Its Attitude.
Leechburg, Ps., April 19. Disgust
ed with the public's attitude toward
its servants, J. E. Franklin, who is
Leecbburg's police force, offers to
turn his job over to any one else
who wants it, nnd at the same time
speaks his mind In an open letter,
saying:
"I have been receiving abuses from
a bunch of knockers here, and I have
tired of it. I have given my best ef
forts to the service of the borough.
The Job Is open for a man now, as I
will gladly get out of the way and let
some one else have a chance.
"Come on, some of you know-alls,
and plough these streets and alleys
every night through snow and filth,
over wagons, barrels, tin cans and
other rubbish pitched in alleys" by
Eood citizens, who are forever preach
ing for a clean city. One beat alone
is a mile long.
"You have never been able to keep
a man on this job. You pester, slur
and abuse them until they get disgust
ed and quit.
"If you want a board of health, get
the board of health, not the cop; if
you want tho street committee, get
Ihem, not the cop. The cop is not a
truant officer and nor a dog catcher.
"If you want a divorce go to the
county sent and apply there and do
not tell the cop about your family
troubles. If you can't take care of
your wife, do not tell the cop, for he
has all he can do to take care of his
own home.
"It some of the would-be swelU
here will go down to the business
houses and meet their financial obli
gations, you won't have as much time
to find fault."
