Party from Pittsfield Makes Descent at Auburndale, N, Y. Pittsfield, Ma: Sept. 17.—Three Massachusetts aeronauts who rose from Pittsfield in the balloon Spring- field a few minutes before midnight last night were startled to find them- selves directly over New York city when dawn broke this morning. Then for an hour the balloon drifted down across the Bronx, and boack after block the city’s lights were seen to go out, and the sun began to break its way through the mists in the east, as the aeronauts floated across the Sound and dropped to earth at Auburndale, in Queens. Above the waters of the Sound, near the Queensborough bridge, a warm current of air was found, for as the balloon crossed it shot rapidly upward and only with difficulty was stopped at 8,500 feet. At this height the entire island ¢f Manhattan was clearly visible, and the aerenauts could see far out over the harbor /to the At- lantie. Thee drop from the more than 3,000 feet was made in seven mirutes, a quick descent being necessary to pre- vent being carried out to sea. The landing was made on Orchard street, and as the airmen came down they had a good glimpse into Oyster Bay, the home of Rooseveit, scancely a mile away. Notwithstanding they had float- ed over the city of New York and landed within the city limits, the early spectators aroused to witness the landing s one mounted police officer and a man with an express wagon. The latter took the packed-up balloon away for shipment. William Vansleet of Pittsfield was the pilot, and with him were Jap B. Benton of Boston and J. J. Van Val- kenburg of South Framingham, who are also balloen pilots, the latter hav- ing finally qualified by his triy today. The journey was across Connecticut, after passing over Lenox and the southwestern corner of Massachusetts. A SERIOUS EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID AT TORRINGTON. Samples of Milk and Drinking Water to Be Analyzed. Torrington, Conn., Sept. 17.—An epi- demic of typhoid fever, which first made its appearance two weeks ago, has assumed serious proportions, and tonight, with not all the physicians of the town heard from, there are 73 known cases, and 25 persons whom it is thought will develop the malad: Members of the state and _count boards of health were here today tak- ing samples of the drinking water and ilk, and tomorrow a state chemist will be here and male an analysis. The cases are scattered in all sec tions of the town, and the officers do not think that it is due to the milk supply. The water supply is furnish- ed from a chain of six lakes and has always been exceedingly good. The manufacturer sof the town at a meeting lagreed to financially back any plan { that may be deemed necessary to care |for the sick, even to the extent of jopening a temporary hospital. The itown has no hospital, the nearest in- | stitutions being at Winsted and Wa- | terbury, and it is understood that in those places they are not in a position to rexsive a large number of cases. This is the first epdemic the town has ever had and the heolth of the community has always been above the average. - Beattie in Richmond Jail.
