THE BINGHAMTON PRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1914. JOSEPH ANDERSON AND HIS 'GLIDER' Local man, in front in the to have soared 40 feet. In a trial ground, and wrecked the airship, HE PLANS TO SOAR, BUT SOMETHING HAPPENS AND JOSEPH DIVES INSTEAD Student of Aviation Has Mishap When He Attempts Flight with Glider Joseph Anderson of Hancock street, student of aviation, took a glider which he had constructed, up on House's Hill, at the head of Telegraph street, this morning, to sail down. This was not his first trip, as he rolaims to have soared 40 feet in previous trials, and so great was his confidence that he would be more successful that the Binghamton Pres photographer was invited to be present record the flight. The glider consists of two planes, with a framework in front, in which the flying man stands while he is in the air.

Over his shoulders pass ropes which keep him attached to the planes. Anderson planned today to run down the hillside and leap from top of a precipitous knoll. Then the air was to buoy him up, and he was to be wafted. The photographer got the camera set at the proper angle to got a good view of the soaring. Anderson went up the hillside, and, adjusting the framework over his shoulders, started to run down the hill.

Just as he got to the jumping off place, something happened. The camera, focussed to catch the flying machine in the air, caught nothing but the air. The aviator stubbed his toe, or something like that, and instead of soaring, he stumbled forward, and finally dove to earth from an approximate elevation of two feet. When everything was picked up, it was found that the condition of the glider precluded the possibility of further soaring, today. Anderson said that fix it, and try again.

Shattuck reached the tenth home in time to help carry the husband into the house from ambulance. The next four calls revealed an that the families had moved away. The last call found the head of the family in bed from scalding. The fire insurance company which Shattuck represents had three losses in Brazil during the day, and on returning home Shattuck found he had been robbed of his pocketbook.

Suetterlein Thrown Through Doorway, Badly Cut and Burned 3 BUILDINGS DAMAGED With a roar that shook windows in the vicinity, an explosion occurred in the grocery of Albert R.

Sutterlein at 166 Hawley street at 12:30 o'clock today, showering glass on the sidewalk and into the roadway. Mr. Sutterlein was hurled through the doorway and sustained severe cuts and burns. The interior of the grocery was in flames almost instantly and before the firemen could reach the scene, the fire had spread to a dwelling in the rear and another meat market and grocery store at 168 Hawley The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is thought that a can of gasoline in the rear of the store ignited in some manner, spreading flame among the inflammable grocery stock. A.

Moser, a driver for the Cloverdale creamery, preached the corner of Fayette streets just as the explosion occurred, pieces of the glass being blown into his wagon. The detonation was followed by a wave of flame and Mr. Moser promptly turned in an alarm from the box in front of the blazing store. The force of the explosion which hurled Mr. Suetterlein beyond the wave of fire probably saved his life, but he was badly singed about the face and neck and was cut by flying glass.

He was removed to a. physiclan's office for medical treatment. Charles E. Brink of Port Dickinson last week placed a stock of meat and groceries in the store, adjoining Mr. Suetterlein's and the fire spread rapidly to this establishment.

A large proportion of the stock was rescued, but some damage done by smoke and water. Mr. Brink stated his stock was valued approximately at $1,500 and is covered by insurance. The flames swept southward, communicating with a dwelling house adthe Suetterlein store on the John south. T.

The Hagar first and floor the is occupied floor by upper Mrs. John Wagner. So rapid was the approach of the flames that the occupants of the building were unable to save any property. The fire worked it way through the roof of residence and into one room on first the floor, while much damage was done by smoke and a water. Neither Mr.

Hagar or Mrs. Wagner were insured. The buidings were owned by Samuel Whipple and were covered by insurance, It is estimated that the loss on the Suetterlein stock which is total, will be in the neighborhood of $2,000, while the loss on the Brink stock will be about $1,000. The damage to the buildings is placed at $2,000. ICE PLANT HAS 3 FIRES IN 24 HOURS The Binghamton fire department was called to the Binghamton Crystal Ice Co.

plant on Noyes Island three times within 24 hours as result of a blaze which started first from a defective electric wire and the and third times as the result of second started by an incendiary, it is believed. The loss to the plant is placed at $7,000 and is covered by insurance. The building occupied by the Binghamton Crystal Ice Company is a twostory wooden structure with a cupala on the east side of Water street just north of Ferry street. Recently electric lights have been installed, the work being completed last Saturday. At that time considerable trouble was caused when the current was turned on by the blowing out of fuses and fire department officials are of the opinion that this was what caused the first fire in the building.

Employes at the street car barn observed a blaze around the cupola shortly after midnight Sunday morning and sent a still alarm to the Central Fire Station.
