Stuttpart, Germany, Aug. . Count Zeppelin's great dirigible
balloon was torn from its moorings on a plateau five miles south of
Echterdingon this afternoon during an electrical storm, caught fire
and sailed awav in a cloud of smoke. During the storm a motor ex
ploded. Count Zeppelin is broken heart ed at the loss of the great
airship. Four workmen were seriously hurt by the explosion, but
the count was uninjured.
Zeppelin, who has worked on his balloon for years, wept like a
child as he saw it disappearing, a hopeless wreck.
He at once announced that he would. begin the construction of a
new ship, and was greatly cheered on receiving a telegram from
Emperor William promising to contribute funds to be used in re
placing t lie lost hallo"'

Is 111 tlit hope, as It probnbly was burned
in Its fltedit.
The explosion completely wrecked
the mfidi.inlsm of the machine and tore
the framework to pieces. Two compan
ies of grenadiers have been placed at
the disposal of the count to guard his
property and take charge of the balloon
if It la found.
The count was forced to brine the
balloon down on the plateau at S o'clock
tills morning on account of a defective
motor, which was In Much bn.! condi

Realizing that he had failed In his
effort to reach Frlodrlchafen within

Wind Increases.
This afternoon the velocity of the
wind in reused and the ropes holding
the balloon were doubled, but soon the
storm became violent and, accompanied
by lightning and thunder, swept over
the plntau with such terrific force that
the great gas ban was flopped about
like a toy balloon.
The ba lloon was seen to rise In the
Kale and move rapidly away into the
clouds, the flames apparently Increasing
as they were fanned bv the wind and
the movement of the craft.

Extra precautions are being taken

V. TieMars yesterday afternoon
In a fight over a dog. will have
to stand trial for murder as
would a man accused of the
samo crime.
The district attorney's office
declared this morning that It
would not agree to have young
Redd tried in the Juvenile court,
as he was a menace to the Ufo
of all eiMzens. The hearing
that was to have been held this
morning was postponed until
after the Inquest this afternoon
and will be held before Judge
Ganter.hein tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock.
It is probable that the hoys
relatives will n f 1st the efforts
to have him tried as a regular
criminal and will aak that the
case be kept In the Juvenile
court.
There is some talk of prose
cuting Mr. and Mrs. Schemp,
young- Hold's parents, for con
tributing to Juvenile didln
quincy hy allowing their chil
dren to handle firearms. Al
though an attempt to hold par
ents responsible In such a case
has never been made In Port
land, It has been tried with
success elsewhere and may be
used here.

Constant ine, Algeria, Aug. 5. Following the terrible earth
quake which occurred yesterday, killing nearly 1,000 persons in a
score of Alpcrian towns, hordes of bandits have swept in from the
desert, bent on loot 'and pillage, and a reign of terror has been
started which the French troops are trying hard to check. The sol
diers arc today shooting the outlaws on sight, but despite their ef
forts many acts of pillage and other lawlessness are being com
mitted. Scores of Dead.
Scores of dead are being removed frojn the ruins, and the worlc
of the searchers and rescuers is frequently interrupted by the
fighting.
Two hundred thousand natives are homeless. The French au
thorities have taken measures for their immediate relief. Supplies
are being rushed into the affected territory, but it is feared .a fam
ine may result before the outlying districts can be reached.
In some places, it is reported, the earth disturbances have caused
the drying up of springs, and the people are without water. The
victims are almost entirely natives who lived in mud huts and simi
lar fragile epiarters that crumbled under the first shock of the
quake.
Reports received from the affected district give details of severe
damage in the coast towns of Guelma, Philippeville, Bona and Ain
Smara. The interior towns, so far as reports have been obtainable,
suffered equally heavy damage. The heaviest loss was at Neudon.
Natives Terror-Stricken.
Meager details of suffering and exposure are coming in from
Soukaheras, Hizon, Kurksell, Reuftach Conde and other small towns
in the mountains.
The first shock, at 9:30 yesterday, was the most severe and
wrought the principal destruction. Following it there were inter
mittent shocks until late in the afternoon, when the earth tremors
ceased.
Fear is in the hearts of the natives that the terrible shaking will
recommence, and many are wild with fright.
From the city of Algiers troops and supplies have been dis
patched by train to Guelma, and by ship to Bona, the nearest sea
port on the Mediterranean.
