Beschreibung:

[By CABLE TO THE HERALD.] BERLIN, August 11, 1896.—Herr Lilienthal, an engineer, who for many years was experimenting in the building of flying machines, met with an accident today that resulted in his death. He started with one of his machines to fly from a hilltop at Rhinow, near Berlin. The apparatus worked all right for a few minutes, and Lilienthal flew quite a distance, when suddenly the machinery of the apparatus got out of order and man and machine fell to the ground. Herr Lilienthal was so badly injured that he died in the hospital to which he was removed.
HERR LILIENTHAL WAS GENERALLY KNOWN IN GERMANY AS "THE FLYING MAN."'
Herr Otto Lilienthal was born In Anklam, near the Baltic coast of Pomerania, about forty-seven years ago. He attained considerable celebrity by the invention of his machine, which was modelled on that of a bird's wing, and he was generally known as "the flying man."
Herr Lilienthal was an engineer, and established in Berlin a manufactory of small steam engines, where the mechanical appliances furnished him with every facility for the construction of his flying apparatus.
