(By Cable to The Times.)
London, Aug. 14. The huge, bal
loon 'with which Captain Thomas T.
Lovelace, the New York aeronaut,
once connected with the signal corps
of the United States army, has been
giving exhibitions at the France
British exposition, exploded while
being Inflated here today and killed
two spectators, frightfully burned a
dozen others and caused the injury
of scares in a fearful panic,
v Captain Lovelace himself was
near the balloon when it was ripped
apart by the filling hydrogen. He
was dangerously hurt but insisted
on Joining the police and guards in
the work of Btopplng the panic.
Miss Hill, 1 8 year old, secretary
to Captain Lovelace, was one of the
persons ' killed. She was burned to
a .crisp.-.",;!' ';V"V ;;.... i
The shock of . the explosion , was ter
rific. The'' exposition grounds were
shaken as If there had been a email
earthquake, windows In . many of
the beautiful exposition grounds
wore shattered. ; : ; , ...
Crowds of visitors to the exposi
tion crowded about the great gas bag
as it was being inflated. Without
the least warning, the balloon, when
it was nearly full of gas, became a
mass of shooting flames. The hy
drogen had in some way become
mixed with air and the consequent
unstable gas which formed had ex
ploded, v .
The crowd of men and women
about the balloon dashed away from
the flaming aeronautic enclosure,
but many of them were not quick
enough, Two people were killed
outright. Many were badly burned.
Almost every one who had been near
the enclosure was more or less
'Bcorched.
Captain Lovelace has had an ad
venturous and romantic career In
his devotion to aeronautics. He has
been the hero of numberless ascen
sions, the most recent, before his
visit to England, being in company
with Dr. Julian P. Thomas, of the
aero club of America.
. In a trip with Dr. Thomas in the
German Pommern, the winner of the
International race from St. Louis
Captain Lovelace climbed from the
basket, up the netting around the
gas bag and took a position at the
top of the great spher? In order to
better direct the course of the bal
loon. This was in a trip from Phil
adelpbla to New York.
Captain Lovelace was once com
mander-ln-chlef of the Panama navy
for he is as well acquainted with
navigation on the sea as he is with
that in the air. He was also assist
ant superintendent of aeronautics at
the Jamestown exposition. ,
The aeronaut was called by the
United States government to consult
with Officers of the signal corps fol
lowing "a sensational demonstration
he made of the ease with which for
tifications on the Atlantic coast could
ho nhotoeranhed from above In a
balloon.
Captain Lovelace sailed with Dr.
Thomas in the Pommern over Fort
Wadsworth and took photographs of
the fortifications which he after
. ward sent to the signal corps. He
said at the time he was tempted to
drop a bag of ballast into the fort
lust to show how, easy it would have
been for. an enemy, under . similar
conditions to drop 1,000 pounds of
dynamite.
In January of 1007, Captain Love
