employer entered, and Bedford noticing him,
called him to another part Of the prison, sayS

doubt aware ofthe fact that there is more in his
arrest than is specified in the commitment.

The Proposed Aerial Voyage.

There are strange rum0rs Of bad hitch in
the transatlantic balloon enterprise. Il 10
said that Prof. Wise is much dissatisfied with
the manner in which the balloon and some
apparatus have been constructed. The princi-
pal defect ofwhch he complains Is the fact that
the strips of muslin which form the globe are
sewed together with cotton thread, instead Of
silk thread, thus increasing the danger Of the
seams ripping when exposed to high winds
and rough weather. It is quite certain that
Prof. Wise has threatened not to 70 ON the
proposed trip at all, and some of his friends
claim that he is not morally bound to fulhll
the conditions of his contract. A gentleman
named Ford. who has been relied upon -
one of the expedi,ionists, is now undecided -
to whether he will go or not. Donaldson,
however, said to-day that so far 40 he himself
was concerned, he should 60 up with the bal.
loon, no matter what the course Of Wise and
Ford may be in the matter. If Wine, Ford
and Donaldson all 90 on the the trip, fourth
man will still be wanted. This fourth man
has not, yet been selected, so far 40 10 known
to outsiders. This fourth man, it was intend
ed, should be some experienced mariner.
The men who have furnished the capital
for the enterprise are, however, plucky and
persistent, and if any one or more Of the par.
~ who have been announced to 60 should ct
the last moment back out, other volunteers
will probably be enlisted to accompany Prof
Donaldson. The balloon and apparatus, which
were yesterday taken to the Capitoline
Grounds, Brooklyn, were visited by quite
large number of people to-day, aud the deep
est interest was manifested. Prof. Wise was
not present, but Donaldson was there, super
intending the Anal preparations. Donaldson
seemed somwhat gloomy and reticent.
but in his conversation with reporters
expressed his firm belief in the
success of the enterprise. The balloon
was inflated with common air this evening,
the air being being pumped in with steam
engine and force pump, in order to test the
strength of the cloth and seams. The pre-
liminary and experimental imitation was COM
pleted at 8 o'clock, and there were no signs
of breaking or giving away Of the fabric.
Many of the visitors came from out Of town,
being anxious to avoid the crowd of Tuesday
and Wednesday. A special feature was the
prest nee of large number of families. These

The Singer Still Triumphant.

At the Vienna Exhibition the Singer re.
ceived the Medal Of Merit, the Medal of Pro-
gress, and three other Medals for superiority
of productions. These are the highest Sew
ing Machine awards at Vienna. The Singer
| received all the medals awarded to either OF
the competing machines, and two medals
more than any other obtained. Then, in the
| name of Truth, what is it that prompts people
to claim recommendations for the Diploma OF
Honor The fact is, no Diploma of Honor
has been given to any Sewing Machine Com
pany.
But immeasurably more valuable is the
WORLDS AWARD as shown by sales-proyed
by sworn returns to the owners of the princi-
pal Sewing Machine Patents-w which last year
amounted to two hundred and nineteen thou
machines, nine out of ten of them being for
family use. This is over A, 900 more Sew ing
Machines than were sold by any other COM
pany during the same PERIOD and over one
These enormous sales are owing to the long
tested merits Of the SINGER Machines, which
meet the wants o: the public in superiority
and simplicity of construction, and capability
for great variety and excellence of work.
That the users of Sewing Machines find these
desirable qualities in the SINGER beyond all
others, is shown by the sales above given,
aside from the awards of International Juries,
