Carried Cp 8,000 Feet by a Uulloon iu
Rope and Dropped In a Tree.
Milford, Mass., Special to New
Orleans Times Democrat says:
For 15 minutes to-day Louis
Ward, aged 20, of this town, had
an experience that held three
good people breathless and his
escape from death .as only little
short of a miracle.
Ward is a brother of Miss
Mabe'.le Ward, who was to have
made a balloon ascension to-day
with Prof. Hillman at Hoak
Park. He was assisMng in mak
ing the preparations when the
balloon was suddenly released,
with Hillman in his place,
but the woman not yet in the
basket. As the balloon shot up
the rope caught Ward's foot and
yanked him along. Ward hung
head downward and the crowd
groaned in agony at the sight.
Uulman looked down, saw what
had occurred, and with only the
thought of his own safety, leap
ed, his fall of 200 feet not seri
ously injuring him. His fear
was that tho balloon would not
carry the weight of both men.
The balloon went ui about
8,000 feet, crjssed Hoag Lake
and then began to slowly settle.
tly this time Ward, by great ex-
tion, had swung himself into an
upright position, clinging to the
rope and he finally fell into a
tree, escaping without a scratch.
Miraculous Itefcue of the Transport
Kearney by a Collier.
Norfolk, July 2. The rescue
of the transport Kearney by
United States collier Leonidas,
Captain Linn, off Bodie's Island,
last Sunday, was one of the
most miraculous incidents of
mid-ocean dramas enacted
recently. Saturday one of the
Kearney's propeller shafts broke
and the loose fragments pierced
a big hole in the vessel's side
through which water rushed.
Distress signals wore hoisted
and Suuday morning the Leoni
das, by merest chance, sighted
the disabled craft, which carried
several hundred troops and
many women passengers. A
hawser was made fast to the
transport's bow aud the collier
towed ber into Hampton Roads,
where she now lies awaiting re
pairs at the Newport News ship
yard. From informatioa se
cured here the hole in the side
of the transport is of such nature
as to give the pumps all they
can do to keep the vessel afloat.
The troops and passengers have
been lauded. The trip was made
with the tow in four days and 21
hours.
North Carolina Iu Front Ranks.
The government crop report

It will be 6een that the pros
pects at this period show North
Carolina well up. She has suf
fered sharply from an inferior
wheat crop and if she does well
in cotton it will be a happy off
set. A Pathetic bcene.

On arriving at the bedside of

Two Canon an Electric Railway Collide
Near Oloyemllle, N. ., With Fear
ful Result.
Utica, N. Y., July 5. On an
electric railroad near Glovers
ville last night there was a col
lision between two cars crowded
with passengers, by which 15
persons were killed and 29 in
jured. For a distance of four
miles north of Gloversville, the
mountain lane railway, an elec
tric road, connects Gloversville
with a popular place of resort or
picnic ground. As it was the
Fourth of July the place was
crowed with pleasure seekers.
Last night the cars were filler"
with people coming home. A
10:30 p. m. at a distance of about
2 miles north of Gloversvill
there was a collision between
two cars, one bound north and
one bound south. They came
together head on with terrific
velocity. As a result the 15
persons were killed outright and
29 injured, the latter more or
less seriously. As it was a holi
day there were many business
men among those on the cars.
It is impossible to get the names
of all present. City Recorder
Frank C Wood, of Gloversville,
had his back broken and is in a
very critical condition.
Mr. Clarence P Emery Dead.
The sad message came by wire
Friday night to Mr. F L Emery
that his son Clarence P Emery,
at Bynum, was seriously ill, of
typhoid fever. Mr. Emery se
cured a trained nurse, Miss Mary
Winecoff, and hastened for his
bedside, but congestion of the
brain sat in and he passed away
at 4 o'clock a. m, this July 5th.
Mr. Emery was 30 years old and
had a wife and one child.
Mrs. Emery was Miss Evie
Kime, of our city, and many
hearts grieve in sympathy with
her and his parents in this sore
affliction.
Wormi In Apple Treea.
Editor Homo od Farm
I will give my experience with
worms in apple trees. In the
fall of 1901 I noticed one tree
that seemed dead except about 4
inches on one side. I picked all
the worms out above the ground.
then raked the earth back
down to the roots, put one and a
half gallons of slack lime round
the tree, put water on it, and
raked the earth back over the
lime. It has been doing well
ever since. Last spring I
noticed another tree. The apples
on it wore about the size of your
thumb, the leaves were turning
yellow and falling off. I treated
it in the same way as before,
and the leaves and apples all
fell off, and then it put out new
leaves, and now it is in bloom
and looking well.
