Mrs. Virginia P. McDlarmld. of Lumber ton, who for the past six weeks bad been undergoing treatment at the Cbarlotte sanatorium, fell from the roof of that institution yesterday af ternoon at 3 r 4 & o'clock in a moment of temporary despondency and met death Instantly, falling headlong on the cement sidewalk 60 feet below. ' The aecident came without the slightest intimation to anyone, least of all to the nurses and attendant physicians. Mrs. McDalrmld had been 4n the sanatorium for six weeks and had never manifested any signs of aberration other than occasional slight spellrf of melancholia and never did anyone imagine for a moment that she would do hurt to herself. She had planned to return to Lum berton tomorrow and her only son. Mr. Thomas N. McDlarmld, had come up Saturday to see her safely home. Yesterday morning she complained a little of rheumatism in her shoulder and had asked her physician to give her something for it This he did, aranging for a second visit in the afternoon. When he returned, he learned that she wsb dead. Roof Garden Protected. Mrs. McDlarmld fell from the south side of th* rctof garden on the top of the building. This roof garden is a walled and circumscribed area on the, top of the Inetltutlon for the benefit of convalescents. It Is much fre quented and very popular on account of the warm sun, fresh air and cool ing breexes. Yesterday afternoon there were several patients along wtih Mrs. McDlarmld on the roof gar den. They were sitting about and wslklng as usual in the company of several nurses. As nothing was fear ed of Mrs. McDlarmld she was allow ed to move about freely. It was at a ! moment when the eyes of the patients and nurses were fixed in another dl fQsUoq ttot aha climbed overt the railing protecting the edge ' of the roof, which Is here about three and one-half feet high and fell to the pavoment below. Death was believed to be instantaneous. HEAVY EARTHQUAKES. Panic Helz4*a Ciliaetis of Han Joae ? Talk of Reeonat carting Carta go. San Jose, Coata Rica. May 11. ?

According to advices received here today the men were unconscious part of th* night. The condition of Mr. Forbes was a little better this morn ing but that of Yatee la eerloua. The men were exhausted by hunger, cold and thirst snd suffered excruciatingly In the high altitude before the bal loon came to earth. Forbea, who la rice president of the Aero Club of America, and holder of the Lahiu cup. rose with Ystes from Q*_?ineey. Illinois, at 6:60 p. m. Monday. They sisxagged for a night and a day over Illinois. Indiana and Missouri, driven apparently In one of the most erratic courses a balloon ever took.

For four hours all efforts to revive them failed. They were identified, however, by means of cards found irT Forbe's pockets. ^ In the first hours after their land ing. many times It appeared to those working over them that their lives could not be saved. It was evident that the two men had undergone an almost unprece- ! dented experience and that their drifting over southern Illinois snd esstern Missouri was fraught with conatant danger to them. ? The diatance from the starting point to where the balloon deacended Is approximately 376 miles, covered In about 34 hours. The actual dia tance made by the balloon, however, is far In excess of that figure, which Is a bee line measurement. The Viking Is believed to be the largest balloon in existence, having a gas capacity of 85,000 cubic feet. This Is the second time that Mr. Forbes' life has been Imperilled by the fall of a balloon. On October 11. 1908, at Berlin, while racing, hla bal loon collapsed when at an altitude of 3.000 feet. It dropped like a plum met for several hundred feet and then the air made a parachute of the bag and Forbes and his companion, Augustus Post, were uninjured.
