Interest Centers on the Beaver Committee Meeting. County OPIKION OF EX-CHIEF JUSTICE AGXEW An appeal has been made to Candidate Delamater to use his influence to end (he trouble in Quay's Congressional district, which, it is feared will endanger the State ticket. None of the warrants issued for the. alleged boodlers hare been served, but it is stated that they will be taken into custody at the Bearer County Committee meeting to-day. The result of this conference is awaited with great interest. rrjtOM A BTATT COBEESPOSDK3TT.J New Castle, July 18. There will be no hearing in the bribery cases on Alder man Leslie's docket before "Wednesday. Constable Marshall's plan is to arrest Tate, Downing and Shaffer all at the same time to-morrow afternoon at Bearer. He antici pates that he can find them there in attend ance at the special meeting of theBepub lican County Committee. As they all live at such a distance apart, the constable has re frained from needless travels to serve the warrants, feeling sure that they would be on hand in Beaver Saturday. All three of the accused delegates will promptly give bail, and Alderman Leslie intimates that about Wednesday a hearing can be held. W. D. "Wallace, Esq., the attorney, who is also sued on the charge of offering bribes to delegates, has visited 'Squire Leslie's office two or three times since his return from Riles, O. He wanted to give himself up to the magistrate, but his lawyers advised him not to do that. WATTING FOB THE VFABBANT. They told him to wait until he was ar rested. Wallace therefore signified that the constable could find him whenever he wished. To-day the plucky politician-lawyer went fishing with a party of friends down the Mahoning. He returned in the evening. Thus far the warrant has not been served on him, although the constable is walking around the streets with the docu ment in his pocket. ' rXt is reported here to-nigLi that an in quirer was told by no less a legal authority than ex-Chief Justice Agnew, of the Su preme Court, that the act of Assembly will not reach the case of Wallace. This dis tinguished retired jurist, in a casual perusal of the law, confirms the point raised by The Dispatch correspondent that the act only covers the cases of persons who are candidates for office offering bribes and of delegates to nominating conventions who accept bribes. POrNTS OP THE DEFENSE. Wallace was cot a candidate. The ex Chief Justice admits, however, that the act of Assembly in question is very carelessly put together, and especially the section re lating to candidates who offer bribes. (The latter part of that section is so complicated as to puzzle lawyers as to just what class of persons iall under its meaning. It is said that Judge Agnew, as a citizen of Beaver and a voter in this Congressional district, is extremely anxious to see the cor ruption probed to the bottom. He says: "It is a matter that threatens the very founda tions of our Republican institutions. The law will probably reach those who took the bribes and the candidate who originally gave the money, if it can be proven that it really came from such a source. The scan dal is too serious entirely to be dropped simply to stop a political breeze. It is a wrong nearer the heart of the common peo ple than the scheming of the politicians." AN IMPOBTANT- OCCASION-. To-morrow afternoon the subject will come before the Bepublican Executive Committee of Beaver county. The meeting will be held in the arbitration room of the Court House, in the town of Beaver, at 1:30 p. si. A. Marshall, as Chairman of the committee, will preside. The committee has 45 members, but as most of them are from the agricultural regions, and this is the middle of harvest, the prospects are cot good for a large attendance. Pr. McKinney wants the committee to in dorse his suit against the boodlers and help him bear the expenses of the litigation. To ee whether the County Committee will do this or not is perhaps one of the real objects in the delay of serving the warrants on Messrs. Wallace, Tate, Downing and Shaffer. At this writing it is impossible to predict what the committee will do. Some mem bers are in favor of passing ringing resolu tions offering all possible assistance to Dr. McKinney in his suits. Others thick it best to simply adjourn the meeting to await the result of the litigation begun independ ently by McKinney. Still others will go so tar in the otbej direction as to urge the ap pointment of a committee to secure evidence and legal advice against the boodlers. x A LIYELT DISCUSSION EXPECTED. If the plump question is put in the meet ing to-morrow: Shall we ratify Major Mc Dowell's nomination for Congress? war may be looked for. A lively political discussion is expected if the proceedings take this di rection. Chairman Phillips, of the Lawrence County Bepublican Committee, emphati cally refuses to call a special meeting of that body now. This, of course, is a victory - in Lawrence for McDowell. Senator Quay is coming home to Beaver on Saturaay evening. He will only remain ,nntil Monday morning, but that will be long enough to take a personal view of the situation. "Has any of the money which the cor rspted delegates 'say they received .been paid back yet?" That is the terse question which the New Castle Courant this morn ing asks. It says a conscientiousness which compelled confession should not stop short of giving back all bribes. AN APPEAL TO DELAMATEB. John W. Steen, who keeps the Pennsyl vania Hotel at Lawrence Junction, said: "I was red hot for Townsend, but when he was beaten that settled it. I am for Mc Dowell now. I sw Mr. Delamater yester day and Implored him if he could in any way effect it, to have this bribery matter suspended, as it was going to raise an awful row." Major John B. Brown, ex-member of the Legislature, who knows a thing or two about politics, said: "There wasn't a can date in the race who could not at any stage of the convention, have found a friend who would have produced 52,000 in currency, If necessarv." lu E. Stopiel. PROHIBITION PLANS, JOHN TALKS OF THE FUTURE OF THE THIRD PARTY. 3T. The Farmers Getting Beady to Upset the Existing Political Conditions Opposi tion to the Tariff and Federal Election Bills Some Predictions. ISPECIAL TELIGB.AU TO TOT PISFATCK.t Chester, July 18. Ex-Governor John P. SL John is in the city on a speech-making tour. As usual he had some very de cided views to express when interviewed. "As. to the immediate prospects of the Prohibition party," said he, "I believe there never was a time in the history of the country when political shackles rested so lightly upon the people, and just now is the time when Prohibition party work ought to be pushed vigorously. The people are ready and willing to listen. They are getting rid of their prejudices.and all that is needed to win them to our cause is to present to them the truth. My judg ment is that we will poll a sufficient num ber of votes in Nebraska to carry the Pro hibition amendment, but I doubt very much that they will be counted. "As to the tariff question, I regard the McKinley bill as a most stupendous scheme to rob the masses for the favored few. If Mr. Blaine has been correctly reported touching commercial reciprocity between our Government and South America, he is right and the people are with him on that proposi tion. In my judgment no individual should ever be given the power to perpetuate him self in office, nor should any political party ever pass a law which would enable it to perpetuate its power. But such is the aim and object of the Federal election bill. Such a scheme, intended, as it is, to be used for partisan purposes, seriously menaces the saletv of our Government. "Notwithstanding the cry that the farmer has been protected under our tariff system, the truth is the acreage value of the cereals produced in this country has gradually de clined until to-day the farmer receives only one-third oi what his crop brought him in 1867. Under this condition of things the farmers are getting their eyes open. You co longer see them wearing an oilcloth cape and carrying a torch and whooping it up for 'high tariff.' Their organizations throughout the country are simply an earnest protest against the system which has plastered their homes with mortgages, loaded them down with financial burdens they are unable to bear, and threatens to rob thousands of them of their homes. Politically speaking, after the November elections the .average politician will regard what we have hereto fore tailed a cyclone as only a gentle zephyr when compared withAhstor!tLef farmers' ballots under which xhtv'will be buried." A VERY LIVELY CAUCUS, t The Police Called Upon at a Meeting of Boston Democrats. rSTlcCTAX. TELEOBAM TO TBI DISPATCH.! Boston, July 18. There was a lively free fight at a Democratic caucus in South Boston to-night, in which several men were hurt, and 'one, ex-Councilman Michael J. Carroll, was carried home .un conscious. Senator Michael J. Creed called the meeting to order and Representative W. S. McNary led the oppo sition. As soon as the call was read there was a wrangle over the selection of a Chairman, which culminated in ,a fight for the control of the caucus. Bepresentative McNary and Councilman Carroll sprang upon the railing, and a hand-to-hand en counter took place. Senator Creed called upon the police to arrest the leaders, and a dozen bluecoats took a hand in the fray. Mr. Carroll was knocked down and trampled upon by the mob, and was uncon scious when picked np. McNarv resisted strongly, and clung to the chandelier until he pulled it from the ceiling. The hall was quickly filled with the escaping gas, and there was a cessation of hostilities, while both sides rushed irom the hall, fear ing an explosion. A gasfitter stopped the leak and the caucus was resumed, with Sen ator Creed's forces In control. The McNary men bolted. A PLEA. JOB PURIFICATION. Another Addition to the Banks of Wharton Barker's Kickers. rsrxcxu. teleobam to the DisrATcn.i , Philadelphia, July 18. Wharton Barker is the recipient of many letters from leading Bepublicans in different sections of the State who desire to particicate in an or ganization that aims to strike at Quay by voting for Pattison. In yesterday's mail was a letter irom A D. Wood, Burgess of Warren, which gave a stinginc arraign ment of the present .condition of Bepublican politics. His words were few but effective. Mr. Wood said: Any effective State organization in the inter est of Independent Republican politics will be gladly hailed by hundreds of Republicans in this county. There was never such widespread and deep-seated disaffection among the better class of Republicans as now. The time is ripe for the work of purification, and honest men who desire honest government are determined their efforts in that direction shall no longer be crippled by party fetters.

A dispatch was re ceived by the Government this week from Washington, detailing steps taken to con vince the British authorities that there was no cattle disease in the United States to warrant the restrictions placed upon their cattle in Great Britain. Montreal cattlemen, especially those who have been agitating for a long time for per mission to export American cattle from Canadian ports, are anxious that those en gaged in this agitation should succeed. Mr. Lowe, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, said to-day that strong efforts were being made to compel the Government to admit Ameri can cattle to Canada for exportation, but so far they could not see their way clear to do so. . Failing in their efforts with the Canadian Government, the Americans, he said, were now directing their attention to the British Government, with a view of showing that there was no necessity for these restrictions. Meantime cattle are only imported for breeding purposes after passing through quarantine. FOUR MILLION ACHES OPEN. A Treaty With the Indians Secures a Large Tract for Settlement. Kingfisheb, Ind. T., July 18.--An agreement was arrived at between the Cheyenne and the Arapahoe In dians and the Cherokee Commissioners to-day. The IndianB agreed to the terms proposed by thecommicsipners to hold lands in severalty 160 acres to each man, woman and child and receive $1,500,000; 8500,000 in cash, and 81,000,000 to be left with tne Government drawing' 5 per cent interest. The Indians began to sign the agreement at 4 o'clock this afternoon. It will probably require eight or ten days to complete this part of the signing. The treaty opens over 4,000,000 acres of land to settlement under the Homestead law, but the settlers will have to pay 81 25 per acre, when they come to prove up their claims. This practically ends the work of the Commission, at present, tor they will not commence negotiations with the Cherokees for some time to come. EXTENDS TO ALL HOTELS.

But to-night the hardest part of the work is satisfactorily completed and ths boys are enjoying well merited rest, and are contented and happy. The Eighteenth ar rived hero early this morning and at once went to work, accomplishing much in a brief time. Advance details from Battery B and the Fourteenth are here preparing their camps, and so are details from all other State regi ments, bnt the Eighteenth is the first com plete organization on the ground. Colonel 8mith had dress parade at 6 o'clock this evening, and all the, companies presented a most creditable appearance. The weather has been fine a welcome relief from the suffocating heat endured on the way hither. Among the regulars matter have quieted down to real soldiers' life and guards are patrolling their camp. Colonel H. S. Gib son, of the Third United States Artillery, who commands the United States regulars, said: "My men will have nothing to do until to-morrow evening, when we will have inspection." But Major Carpenter, who has charge of the cavalry, is anxious to have his troops appear well, and therefore he took them out on the parade ground for an hour this afternoon and drilled them until the horses foamed and the men were soaked with perspiration. Up at division headquarters General Snowden and Adjutant General Hastings were quietly sitting in woolen shirts and light clothing, arranging for the details of the camp. The Second Brigade, under General Wiley, will encamp immediately opposite division headquarters, while the First Brigade is to the left and the Third Brigade to the extreme right, directly north of the regulars' camp.

The opening ceremonies will take place at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning and will consist of a salute of 43 guns, one for each state in the Union. The battery will arrive here in tho morning. ENCOUNTERED AN ICEBERG. The Steamer Hibernian Has a Narrow Escapo From Diro Disaster. SPECIAL TELEQBA3I TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Philadelphia, July 18. The Allan line steamship Hibernian from Glasgow, arrived here to-day alter a dangerous voy age. Her entire run was mado through "a thick fog, and on June 8 an appalling disaster was narrowly averted through the quick action of the cool headed captain. On Tuesday, at 7:45 P. m., the vessel ran into an iceberg, making a large dent in her bow. There had been indications of ice for some trae, and in consequence the speed ot the Hibernian was greatly reduced, other wise the accident might have been much more serious. As soon as the vessel struck, Captain Wallace, who was on the bridge, sounded the gong for full speed astern and after awhile the ship began to slide off the berg. There was great excitement among the passengers, who consisted chiefly of Scandi navian immigrants, and it was with great difficulty that the frightened passengers were convinced that there really was no danger. Captain Wallace describes the berg as being about 150 feet high, the end of which was hard, flinty ice, while the part the ship struck was' rather soit and low iu the water. On July 12 another large berg was passed. TURNING THE TABLES. Original Pnchago Men la Kansas Sue the Officials for Conspiracy. TOPEKA, KAN., July 18.

The "original package" bill was brought up for consideration in the House of Eepre sentatives yesterday. Several speeches were made for and against the measure. A vote will be taken on Monday, and will almost certainly result favorably. rSFXClAL TELEGHAM TO THE DISPATCBM Washington, July 18. The original package bill is now before the Honse to stay until it is disposed of on Monday, the Committee on Bules having reported a rule to-day to that effect. There appears to be no doubt in the minds of members that the Senate bill will pass the Honse. It is not looked upon by any means as a temperance measure, as it is in the interest of licenied dealers in States where license prevails, but is merely for the purpose of affording State's the opportunity to execute their own police law. The vote will prob ably be a party one, though some of the Democrats have indicated a determination to support the bill. A PJWEE VESTED IN CONGRESS. When the debate commenced Mr. Cul berson, of Texas, said the effect of the Sen ate bill would be to transfer a power vested exclusively in Congress to the States, and the States themselves would execute a power which tbey had parted with when the Con stitution was adopted. There was no power in Congress to substitute an agent to do its constitutional duties. The Senate bill rested on the false and fallacious theory that the States might rely on Congressfor a grant,of power to regulate the traffic in in toxicating liquors. If the House substitute should become a law, it would be as well to strike from the Constitution the clause giving Congress the right to make commercial regulations. Commercial chaos would ensue. - If the State of Iowa could prohibit the importa tion of intoxicating liquors it could exclnde tobacco, and it could go further than guard ing the health and morals ol its citizens it could protect its own product against those of other States. It would be better to amend the Constitution rather than to mangle it by these makeshifts. CAUSE OF THE TBOUBLE. Mr. Adams, of Illinois, said that unli censed original package shops was the cause of all the present agitation. Everybody was agreed that the unlicensed shop should be abolished. He believed that the consideration of the context ot the decision of the Supreme Court would show that the Chief Justice did not intend to express the opinion that Congress could grant permission to a State to prohibit the sale of liquors. He bad simply intended to avoid saying that Congress could not do so. A case was going up to the Supreme Court from the prohibition States of Iowa and Kansas, and he thought it important that some case should go up from a high license State. He did not believe that the remedy for the original package saloon could be fonnd in either of the proposed measures. He argued in favor of a substitute, de fining an original package of intoxicating liquors in bottles, as a case containing not less than a dozen bottles, and not in bottles, as a cask containing not less than five gallons. AN OVEBBULED JUDGE. Mr. Beed, of Iowa, whose decision as a Judge was overruled by the decision of the Supreme Court, spoke in favor of the pro posed legislation. He could cot indulge in the hope expressed by the gentleman from Illinois that, on a rehearing of the question, a different result would be arrived at. Any lawyer who studied the dissenting opinion of the court would see that every possible phase of the question had been discussed fully and thoroughly before the decision was announced. He was informed that a rehearing had been applied for and denied. If any relief was to be given the people from the wrong and evil society growing out of the decision of the Supreme Court, it lay in the direction pointed out by the pending bills. They delegated no power to the States. They merely exercised the power delegated to Congress to regulate commerce among the States. A PLEA FOB LOCAL OPTION. Mr. E. B. Taylor denied that the pro posed legislation delegated any power to the States. He opposed the Adams substitute on the ground that it would turn every local option township and county in the United States into a liquor-selling township and county by act of Congress. This could not meet the approbation of members of the House. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, said that no decision rendered by the Supreme Court since that court had decided that a human soul was a proper article of merchandise had so excited the feeline of the country as the original package decision. No good citizen would fail to submit to the decision of the court, but be (Mr. Henderson) would not sit down with folded hands and wait until the Supreme Court had made some other decision. While be was willing to recognize the decision as the law, he was unwilling to sit still one moment and submit to the opera tion of that decision if there was a lawlul remedy and he believed that there was. Let gentlemen not forget that the Supreme Court in thro (ring this legal thunder bolt into the Republic did not fail to send with it a cure. THE BEMEDT OUTLINED. It cried out to Congress: "While we be lieve this to be our duty, we believe it is your duty to remedy the evil." The people of the country, without regard to party or politics, the people who bended the knee and uncovered their heads in the presence of God and their fellow men, appealed to Congress for its action; and, for one, he would not hesitate to act. Fending further debate, the House took a recess, t'u6 evening session to be for the consideration of private pension bills. Nothing was done at the evening session, Mr. Enloe raising the point of no quorum. BEPUBLICAN PLANS. An Effort to Pass Both the Election and Ap portionment Measures. IVBOM A ST ATP COnBESPONPENT. WASHINGTON, July 18. The Federal election bill is now being considered by the Committee on Privileges and Elections, and that committee to-day held qnite a protracted session, talking as much perhaps of the feasibility of passing the bill as or the pro visions of the measure. As yet, there is little or no doubt in the minds of members of the committee who have been seen indi vidually that the bill will be favorably re ported and that it will certainly be passed in esse no reapportionment of Congressional representation be made. If the population statistics can be made up by the 16th of August, or even by the 1st of September, it is almost certain thai Congress will delay- adjournment and reapportion therepresenta tion, retaining, doubtless, the present cum ber of representatives. It is considered certain from the complex ion of returns received that the representa tion will be increased in Republican and decreased in several of the Democratic States, and thus make a majority for the Be publicans sure in the next Congress. The stalwart and aggressive Republicans in both House and Senate have a crowing feel ing in favor of passing both the elections and a reapportionment bill, and a strong pressure has begun in this direction. Neither subject will be taken up, however, until all the appropriation bills and the tariff bill are out of the way. DISTRICTS IN DANGER. THE GRANGER MOVEMENT IS SCARING POLITICIANS. Several Pennsylvania Bailiwicks Which Are Decidedly In Doubt The Control of the Next Congress May Turn Upon a Few Votes. Washington, Jbly 18. There is evi dent apprehension in the minds of politi cians in many sections of the country over the farmers' movement. The unknown fac tor in State and national politics which has so frequently disturbed the calculations and prophetic outgivings of party managers is again looked upon with suspicion and doubt. While there is no immediate prospect of a serious diversion from the Gubernatorial ticket, the bucolic aspirants for a say in politics propose to strike at the Congres sional and Legislative nominations without reference specially to party lines. The managers of the movement, who, in many instances are experienced and adroit poli ticians, it appears, are also negotiating with the labor vote, which they expect to co-operate. The Pennsylvania Bepublican Represent atives, who have recently returned from a tour of inspection of their political fences, say that there is no disguising the fact that the farmers are determined to have an inn ing of their own and will strike particularly where they think they can see a chance to make an impression. The unfor tunate turmoils in the Beaver-Lawrence and Chester-Delaware districts have been calculated to stimulate this feeling of unrest in other sections of the State. There is also a feeling of disquiet in the Montgomery-Bucks and Luzerne districts, which even the nomination of such popular candidates as Irving P. Wanger and General Osborne mav not be sufficient to overcome. The former district, considered doubtful, and the latter Democratic in the redisricting of the State are threatened with an attack of this political epidemic. The loss of one or two or more districts in Pennsylvania with the certain loss oi cine districts in Ohio is regarded as a discourag ing prospect to retaining control of Con gress. The importance of reconciling inter nal .party disorder and getting the dis gruntled elements together at short notice is the common talk of the members of the delegation. A TARIFF BILL AMENDMENT, Which Is Designed to Meet the Views of Secretary of State Blaine, Washington, July 18. Senator Pierce to-day proposed an amendment to the tariff bill providing that after one year from the passage of the bill, the President, in his dis cretion, may direct that the duties on sugar imposed under the laws now in force, be re imposed, as against any nation or country failing to enter into adequate reciprocal re lations with the United States regarding agricultural products 'of this country, and the, President is directed to pursue such negotiations as may oe aeemea necessary to secure by treaty or otherwise the 'un restricted entry into any such country of the agricultural products of the United States. HURRYING THE COUNT. A Night Force Is Now at Work la the Census Order. Washington, July 18. A night force of counters has been employed at the Census office, and will be continued until the count of the entire country is completed and veri fied. From this time it is expected that the daily count will average about 2,000,000. Superintendent Porter to-day received a large number of affidavits from citizens of Minneapolis who charge thai against their protests they were enumerated as residents of St. Paul. THE BOUNCING MACHINE Soon to Operate on Two More Southern Democratic Congressmen. Washington, July 18. The House Committee on Elections to-day decided two more contested cases in favor of the Bepub lican contestants. They were the Florida case of Goodrich versus Bullock decision iu favor of Goodrich and the West Vir ginia case of McGinnis versus Aldcrson decision in favor of McGinnis. NARROW ESCAPE OF MRS. HARRISON An Exciting Runaway at Cape May Gives the While House People a Scare. CAPE Mat, July 18. Mrs. Harrison had a narrow escape from severe injury last evening when riding through Washington street. As the presidental carriage, which contained Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKee and Baby McKee was passing Washington and Decatnr streets, a lad in a dog cart whipped up his horse and attempted to pass the Har rison carriage. In his excitement he lost control of the horse which gave a sudden lurch and struck an electric light pole. The now thorouehjy frightened animal dashed up the street at a full gallop. The boy tugged at the lines manfully, but without avail. Passing the Harrison vehicle, the frenzied animal plunged upon the pavement, break ing an iron awning post and demolishing the glass of a big show window. The con cussion threw the horse to the ground, where it lay kicking and bleeding. At the sight of blood, Mrs. McKee fainted, and there was then a general rush ot pedestrians to give assistance. Before service was pre ferred, however, Mrs. McKee rallied, and the White House coachman had whipped up his horses and. turned their heads toward the cottage at the Point. BABY WKEE WOULD NOT SHAKE. Even the President Was Not Able to Change His Determination. rSPECIAI. TELEOBAU TO THE P18FATC1I. Cape Mat Point, N. J., July 18. President Harrison has spent the day quietly at the Point. Throughout the greater part of the morning he sat on the porch and about bathing time strolled up the board walk to watch the bathers. In the early evening, accompanied by Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Dimmick, his precious grandson and Sec retary Halford, be walked up the boardwalk as far as Carlton Hall. The President and little Benjamin stuck close together, and when the child fell down his grandfather straightened him out and brushed him off with the air of one accustomed to such busi ness. Tbe only difference of opinion to mar the harmony of the pair occurred when they met Dr. Beale. The good doctor did his duty as a citizen and shook hands with tbe Chief Magistrate and proceeded to extend tbe same civility to the Magistrate's grand son. But the grandson would cot hear to it and persisted valiantly in his refusal. Transient Advertisements INCLUDING WANTS, TO LETS. FOR SALES.

The Successful Flight of an Air Ship at tho Altitude of 3,000 FEET ABOVE THE SURFACE. Triumph, of an Eajer Inventor Aftor Many Disappointments. NAVIGATION TJSDEE PULL C0XTE0E. A long Journey Thronjh the Atmorphere Is Soon to bs Attempted. Professor Campbell, of Bnffalo, claims to be the inventor of an air ship that will really sail through the atmosphere. A suc cessful test has just been made at a height of 3,000 feet. A long journey i3 contemplated. IBPECIAL TELZCBAX To THE DI3PATCH.1 Buffalo, July 18. After 30 years'ol hard work and indifferent success Prof.-P. C. Campbell, tbe airship builder, has made his invention work. He has constructed several different styles of airships, but heretofore they have all been failures. Last Fourth of July the Professor was advertised to make an ascension and a large crowd was present to witness the novel spectacle, but after considerable trouble and loss of time the annoncement was made that the ship would not sail, but upon the following day the flight would surely take place. A goodly number of people were present the next day. The novelty of seeing a maa sailing here and there through the air was one not to be witnessed every day, but the second trial was a repetition of the proceed ing one and the people were disgusted as well as disappointed. Last Saturday a third attempt was made, but it wa3 again as un successful as before. The balloon portion of the ship would not fill with gas suf ficiently carry the car. It rose in the air about six feet and then came down and stayed down. The crowd yelled "fake" and laughed at the Professor, but this did cot discourage him, tor he was more than ever determined to carry out the practica bility of his idea. success at last. Yesterday another attempt was made to sail, and in order to escape' the unpleasant remarks of spectators, should the venture prove a further failure, the Professor did cot make his intentions known. The bal loon was fully inflated on this occasion and at 4:15 rose gracetully into the air and quickly reached an altitude of 3,000 feet. A number of spectators, who happened to be present, watched tbe proceedings with breathless interest. The ship went straight up, and after reaching a height o! 2,000 feet it began to move southward. In a short time it sheered to the southeast and then turned completely around and ran against the wind. Presently the ship began to lower and at 6 P. M. gen tly landed on a farm about five miles from the city. The farmer upon whose field ths vessel landed, wanted damages for spoiling his grass, hut he was finally prevailed upon to take the ship to the nearest railway sta tion for fo. The Dispatch correspondent saw Mr. Campbell this evening when the Professor said: "It was a complete success, and I am proud of my achievement. I left the grounds at precisely. 4:15, and when the ship had carried me up to the height of about 3,000 feet I began to work THE rOEWARD PEOPELLEK to send tbe ship ahead. Then I worked the rear propeller to turn the ship about, and she minded the helm in easy style. I en joyed tbe scenery so much that I stayed up longer than I had intended to, and it was 6 o'clock before I begau to work tbe under propeller to bring the ship down. This was done successfully and without wasting a particle of gas. I picked out a nice clean field, threw out my anchor and hung on.and the lauding was the easiest imaginable. Alter reaching the ground I let the gas es cape, and a farmer came to my assistance." The professor says he likes flying, and that be is going to take a trip to Trenton, N. J., in a short time. He will sail azain oa Saturday, and will be connected to the earth by telephone, so that the people below can converse with him while in tbe air. CLAIM TO HAVE A CLEW To the Bobbery of the 810,000 Bar of Gold From the IT. S. Express Company. Chigago, July 18. A new indictment was found by the grand jury to-day against John Ehret, the ex-driver for the United States Express Company, charcing him with the theft of a $10,000 gold bar which was in the custody of the company. Indict ments were also returned against three other persons, and one of them, Charles Ehret, brother of John, was arrested this afternoon. A writ of habeas corpus has been issued for the production in court of John Ehret, who is held in custody in one of the outlying; police stations. It is said John Ehret was in the con fidence of a notorious gang of professional thieves, and at an opportune moment, handed out the 510,000 bar to one of them in waiting. Tbe professional is said to have carried the bar into the bank in front of which the company's wagon stood, and valked out another door, escaping with the booty. Next day it is charged 55,000, John Ehret's share ot the plunder was handed to his brother Charles, by the sang. It is for receiving this stolen $5,000 tor Brother John that Charles is under arrest. WILL RETURN TO GAS. Unless the Electric Lighting Companies Be duce'Thelr Present Bids. DirECXAt. TXLEPBAX TO THE DISPATCH. J New Yoek, July 18. Superintendent McCormick, of the bureau of lamps and gas, reports that there was really no competi tion among the electric light companies ia their latest bids for street lighting, but every evidence of concert of action. Ot the 890 lamps in the street lighting system for which bids were received, no lamp is bid for by more than one company. The terri tory to be lighted seems so have been di vided np. Mr. McCormick also reports that the available balance ot the street lighting ap propriation is $77,507 27, while the bids by the electric lighting companies call for $77,678 65. The members ot the Gas Com mission have declared that rather than ex- ceed the appropriation 'they will return to gas lamps. A MISSING HAND BAH. The Cause of a Suit for Damages Against an Oil Company. SPECIAL TELEOBAX TO THE PISFATCH.1 Nevt Tobk, July 18. Thomas McLean, of Bayonne, began a suit to-day for $20,000 damages against the Tidewater Oil Com pany. McLean was employed in the com pany's refinery at Constable Hook. To get to and from his work he had to pass several vats ot boiling snlnhuric acid. There was a hand rail running along the edge of the vats. This was removed one day in March. McLean did not know it ana when he was returning Irom bis work at night he put out his hand to touch tho rail. It was dark and he could not see what he was doing. He did not feel the railing, took a step toward the vat and fell in. Ha was frightfully burned and as a result oi his injuries will be a cripple for life. A
