SCER0EDER'S AERIAL SHIP,
A Description of the Working Ap-
paratus-What the Inventor Says
ne can do-How the North Pole is
TO be Discovered.

From tie Cincinnati Commercial, oct. 25.
Work has been commenced on
the ship, and tits confidently expect
ed that she will be ready for her
trial trip in about two weeks. The
lleleton Of the ship is made Of
double Q wire braced Iengtnwise by
single 0 wire. The ship itself IS
eigh tytiye feet long, nine feet HIGH,
and eight fooo "ido, ~la II ouJpc
resembles a long steamship bull,
with the exception that the fore
and aft projections extend about
seven feet from the body Of the
ship. The iron Shaft runs length
wise, the pushing propeller beng
attached to one end, and the pull
inc propeller to the other in order
that they can be worked to the best
advantage, and to allow the ship to
turn around on It's own pivot in the
air. Underneath are two rudders,
one fore and one aft, for steering
purposes. On making the ascent,
the pulling propeller will be put in
motion, assisted by the pushing pro-
pelier and the rud lers, and thus the
inventor confidently expects to be
able to 60 Whithersoever he will
The ship is attached to the bal
loon by 1896 ropes, situated at
equal distances apart, in order to
preserve as exact a balance as pos
sibIe. The capacity Of the balloon
is 265,919 cubic feet. Hydrogen
gas will be used, and tnis substance
is so light that it is calculated that
one cubic foot will have a lifting
power of one and three quarter
ounces, thus making the lifting
power of the balloon about 10000
pounds, or nearly fifteen tons. It's
not probable that the balloon will be
inflated to its full capacity, mas
much as the extreme rarelaction of
the air at great attitudes tends to
withdraw the outside pressure from
the balloon, and the hydrogen inside,
thus relieved Of outward pressure,
will expand more readily, and per-
haps burst the balloon. But esti-
mating the capacity at an amount
less than that given, the balloon
will easily have lifting power Of
ten tons, while the weight of the
apparatus, the gas, balloon, netting,
ship and machinery is but 4,80o
pounds, or two and two-fifths tons.
The balloon is fastened to the
ship in such manner that it cannot
sway to aud fro, so that it is impOs-
sible for the balloon to get out of a
perpendicular position. The ship
has two masts, tore and aft, which
reach up to the equator of the bal
loon. On the top Of each mast a
large wire cap is fastened to the
netting perpendicularly, and the
balloon itself is fastened to the net
ting all around its equator. In case
Of an explosion the lower part of

THE TURNER CASE.

Upon tho opening Of tho Criminal Court yes
tcrday morning, from tho presence Of Messrs.
Swcts, Stosrs, Barnum, Il. Il. Turnor, and How
ard A. Turner, It was evident that something
was about to bc added to tho history Of tho
great forgery trial which had occupied the Court
for tho past two weeks. It Was known TINT an
attempt had boon n,alo to orrest I1o"ard 4.
Turner tho oyeniUg previous, b1tt without BIC
ccss, and w!lifo ha appearance In Court Tor the
first time, WAS tho result Of an understand
ing between te authortios nrd sir. Swets,
a E1eat deal OF speculation was iudulgoi iu a,
to tho real moaning OF hia prosolce, md tho
Mr. SScH wns tt1n il'et to crafty the curiosity
Of the spectators by making motion that tho
bail Ut tho defendant be discharged. aud tho
trial on the four indictments, two h1ainse Il. X.
Turnos, and two against Il. X. and Howard A.
Turnor, bo Postponed nntii tho cirll suits Ii,
ojectmont nou,iipg were disposed OF. Hc alluded
to tho prcsonco Of Howard 4. Turner in court,
and admitted that he had advised him to heop
out Of tho wAy. l[o maintained that It would ho
unjust 10 forco Tu.ner to d second trial until
tlo civil cause was Bettloa, AZ he beloved
the facts that would bo elici'nh To the olnctment
sulta would have material oflcct In tbs Grim
inal proceedings. By. discharg1ng tho bail. as
asked, tho Court would aasnme no risks. NJ the
Turner's could not afford TO eschpo teial, II op-
portunity woro afforded thom.
Mr. BAtnum regarded tho motion rnthar au6h-
cioug especially Hlnco tho result OF tho Iat0 trial
II, X. Turner had been unable 10 establish his
Innocence, aud his brutiler lad not dared TO As-
pear for triul, thcso belnE circumstances fnhking
tho motion ptcpostnrous. The civil suits had no
connection whatever with tho criminal pEoceed-
ings. and when disposed Of could not possibly do
tl,o Turner's my good. The defendants held that
Hills tltlo to the land in dlnpnte WAS not good.
whic!, it thcy succeeded to establislsins wonlh
not infect Turner's cEiminality. Il wns not Hills
titla tina. was to be tried. but whothcr OF not
Tnrner VIVA guilty OF vhnt waa charged against
him in the indictments.
Mr. StoTrs argued that tho motion vae proper
ona, and that tho Court shouh exercise tH intli-
vdlAl judgment ia dispouiug Of it. He held
that verdict for Turner In the etettmene suta
would aQoct the criminal procedure to such On
extent tllAt 10 prosecuting othcor would there
after have tho eGEonaery to ask trial on tho in.
! dictneuts.
AFTER further argument, tho Court decided tc
continue tue criminal proceedings until tho Feb
rnary term, and to reduce tho bail on the foll
indictments frum $50. 900 to $4,000.
The bond WAS prepared at once, the father oi
