Waksh could plainly be seen struggling to regain his balance but without avail.. The machine thenj made a raipid descent to the earth and the large twimber of spectators realized that Walsh had lot-t control of the machine ami that death was imminent. The nociidtiit luid a depressing effect upon the audience at the fair grounds and within a few minutes neady half of those had begun an exodus towards their homes. Walsh's body was brought to a morgue in this city and Secre tary Margerum of the fair associ ation, gave orders for the aban donment of other flights, schedul ed for the day.

About 7 o'clock neighbors saw the house burst out in flames, and an alarm was given, but the fire had gained such headway that nothing could he done to save the building. Near the house was found Mr. on (Green's trunk, which had been riflenl of its contents including $18 in money, it is believed that the robbers knowing that Green had left home for work went into the house and, after securing the money, poured kerosene on, the furniture and set fire to it, mak ing their escape before they were discovered. The loss on the house was $900 with $500 insurance. a word come from the lips of Kiriakos who is among the oldest and perhaps the wealthiest of his race in the city. lie was dutmib- His face show eel disdain, certainly sorrow at the intima tion that he or his people shSuld be compelled to return.
