A Sad Calamitv-Capsizing of a Small
BOat-LOss OF Five Lives.

On Saturday afternoon last small boat,
called the Bravo, set sail for st. Augustine,
bound up the North river on a pleasure trip,
with ten persons on board-men. women, and
children. The boat had not proceeded further
than five miles when she got ashore on one of
the shoals, and upon an attempt being made to
get her off she was unfortunately capsized, and
her occupants precipitated into the water,
where they were lett struggling for their lives
Under these circumstances a Mr.. Bravo ex.
hibited heroism which was the result of saving
the lives of two individuals, and in an effort to
rescue his sister he was drowned with her.
A young man named Lampheus succeeded
after great risk and exertion, in saving Mrs
Bravo and two other persons. whom he dragged
upon a shoal. He Immediately started for
assistance, and after walk of two miles OBJ
tanned the aid of ST veral men, who returned
with him to the scene of the disaster, and
brought ashore the four persons who had been
saved Among the lost were little daughter of
Mr. Bravo, and two children OF Mr.. Mickler
We regret TO state that Mrs. Bravo was rescued
in such an exhausted condition, tnat up to Sun.
day night last slight hopes were entertained of
her recovery.-SduGnndh Republican, Jhne l.

AERIAL NAVIGATION,
second Trial of bF. AndrewH' Flying
9h1p-A Partial Success. but the Mso -
ntSnn Still Imperfect-No IntelItgs smoe
Yes from the VOy RgePs.

Yes from the VOy agers.
Dr. Solomon Andrews, the inventor of the
Flying ship, made second trial of his appara-
tus, from his yard corner OF Greene ana Houston
treets, IN this city, yesterday. Mr.. G. W.
Plumb, Secretary of the Aerial Navigation CON-
pany, only, accompanied him. The partial
allure of his former trip DR.. Andrews attributed
the imperfect action of the rudder of bis craft,
which proved to be insufficient to keep her in
the proper direction. Since then he has con-
structed one of different FORM which it was
hoped would prove more efficient.
The ascent was made about O'Clock p M.
The wind on the surface of the earth was then
blowing briskly from the North. Although no
public notice of the proposed attempt had been
that such an attempt would be made, and at the
hour of starting large number of persons had
collected in the streets and on the neighhorlng
roofs. In starting, the balloon at hrst rose
almost perpendcularly until above the sur
rounding houses and then drifted with the wind
about $50 yards, when DR.. Andrews endeavored
to bring her into the wind. In doing this the
rudder ropes appeared to become iammed, and
the rudder remained fixed on one side, causing
the balloon TO move round and round in a circle
for several minutes, still drifting with the wind
and rising at the same time. At last the navi-
gators appeared to obtain partial control over
their machine for they commenced to move in
various directions and soon passed back again
towards the North, going over almost precisely
the same spot which they had just before crossed
towards the South.
That the balloon was not drifting with diff
ferent currents OF air was amply proved by the
fact that the streamer attached to the car, in
stead OF hanging down as in the case OF an ordi-
nary balloon, stood out from it in different
directions, as # blown by strong wind. Some.
times this streamer pointed to wards the head of
the balloon, sometimes astern, and again towards
either side, showing that the balloon was moving
in a different direction from the air which sur
rounded ii. The sand ballast, too, which the
voyagers threw out, instead of dropping direct,
could be seen blowing away from the car.
1t seemed clearly demonstrated that the bal
loon possessed motive power OF its own, but it
was at the same time apparent that the proper
mechanism for using that power to its best
effect has not yet been obtained. These faults
of construction are, after all, not more than
could fairly have been expected in any new ma
chine, and If an effective motive power has
really been obtained, there can be no insur-
mountable obstacle to making it entirely etfec-
tive.
The voyagers continued to progress towards
the north, and disappeared 10 cloud when aD-
parently about over BackwelPs Island. We
have no intelligence OF their whereabouts up to
the time OF going to press.-M Y. Tribune.

monies, the M. w. Grand Master delivered an
address, in which he dwet upon the interior
workings of the actions of its members during
the recent war, and the changes which had taken
place during the year. In the course of his re-
marks, the speaker said:-
Some months ago l received letter from

brethren from the Great East of Nantes had
written very fattering letter to Washington,
and presented to him highly ornamented sash
and Masonic apron. Washington replied from
his headquarters at Newburg, as tollows:-
"STATE OF NEW DIRK, August 10, 1888 -Gentle-

Bulgaria has Just caused some excitement in
Athens and other parts of Greece. Carried away,
as 1t would seem, by false sentiment of patriot
ism, and after long laboring in secret for the
triumph of what is there called the great idea,
he thought the hour come for the Christian
population of Turkey to take up arms, and
recover their independence, his mission being
torouse them. Having succeeded in persuading
about forty men to Join him. he sailed with
them, fortnight since, for the coasts of Tur-
key. Several others, following his example,
have taken their departure tor the Dardaneles,
Smyrna, and other towns of the Ottoman en-
pire, and in consequence some disturbances are
looked tor.
