THE HOPE DISASTER.
Investigation of the sinking of the Tug.
boat by the steamer Texas.

| Before United States Supervisors Flanders

been going on for some time a careful examina-
ton into the sinking of the tugboat Hope. in
order to find out at whose door the blame is to
| be laid. The Hope. it will be remembered. went
down on the sixth day of this month. with a
family of four on board. The following is

OUR friend of the Santa Monica
Outlook complains that the morn
ing papers of Los Angeles, as COM
pared with the Express, have ex-
hibited u lack of industry in gath
ering the returns of the late cleo
ton. Brother Fisher, consider a
little! The editor of the Express
was one of the Non-Partizan candi-
dates and vitality interested in
knowing whether or no he had
gone through. We had only the
comparatively faint reflex of a
friendly interest in the result
which, in this work-a day world, is
tors of subsidiary matter. To
drop persiflage, the votes were not
counted on election day till four
hours after we had gone to press,
and we went to press late; and, as
a matter of course, we were dis
tanced. AS far as relates to the
vote Of Los Angeles county, in our
second issue after the election, we
gave every iota OF intelligence as
to our local vote which will be OBJ.

visors count the sum total Oh Mon

REPORTS from Tulare and ad.
joining counties represent that the
largest crops ever known in that
section will be harvested the pres
emit season. With occasional
breaks, here and there, the crop
generally is of the most satisfactory
volume throughout the State. Just
as We have ascertained that we
have a tremendous wheat crop to
sell the intelligence comes that the
price of this cereal is falling heav-
lily In the English market. Such a
crop as Is now reported, in the
event OF a war between England
and Russia, would have made our
farmers rich. 1t is u great thing,
however, to have the raw material
on hand. That admits of our
taking advantage of all the f1uctu-
atoms Of the market. Our wheat
crop will sell for tremendous sum
in gross, at all events, whether our
farmers realize the prices they ex-
rected or not, which fact will of
itself vitalize business.

Gated by the suffusion of the skin with a

for this state of chaos, and further bodily
evil averted by using the beneficent al

promotes the escape from the circulation

THE HERALD, owing TO the
clever scientific Celebrations of the
Messrs. d. NJ. Adams and Julius
Lyons, has been the first journal in
the United States to offer to the
public scientific solution of the
problem of @rial navigation. A
late number of the Scientific Amer
lean has the following description
Of the working of a flying machine
near Hartford, which weighed
only foriy-eight pounds. We
quote:
The second exhibition was given
June 18th. The weather was far
from favorable. The wind came
in quite sharp gusts, and there were
threatenings of a coming storm.
Nevertheless, the ascent was made.
Little QuinlaD, even if no does
only weigh SO pounds, has conf
dence and nerve enough to go up in
a gale. Some time was spent In
getting the weight and lifting
power so neatly balanced as to
show that the machine could exert
a lifting power of its own. When
this had been effected to Professor
Ritchell's satisfaction, the appara.
tus rested quietly On the grass, but
could be lifted or set back with the
light pressure of one finger. Then
the word was given to "Go.n
Quinlan began turning the wheel,
the horizontal fan revolved with a
noise like buzz saw, and the ma
chine darted up almost vertically
to a height of about one hundred
feet. There strong, steady cur
rent of wind setting toward the
southwest was encountered, and
the machine was swept away by it,
br0adside on to the spectators.
Then the operator was seen throw
ing his vertical fan into gear, and
by Its aid the aerial ship turned
around, pointing its head 10 what.
ever direction he chose to give it.
All this was the work of but a few
seconds. Although Quinlan could
move the apparatus about, he could
not make any Roadway against the
strong wind. Reversing the motion
of his horizontal fan, he descended
apparently about one hundred feet,
to get out of the current, but find
ing that impracticable, reasce nded
to a much greater height than he
had a first reached. Still he was
swept off toward New Haven, and
after little time went out of sight.
He had vanished behind a distant
hill, and for a while it was sup
posed he had alighted. Then he
was again sighted, far away and
not less than 1000 feet above the
earth. The cylinder of the ma
chine looked no larger than an or
ange. AT lie 9Th he disappeared
altogether.
AT G:l5 O'clock +. NJ. having been
up battling with the wind nearly
an hour, he descended safely at
Newington, and at 10 o'clock was
back in Hartford. He said that a,
one time Ire was eight or ten miles
away from his starting point, bul
by lacking and working between
the gusts of wind, won his way
back as far as Newington, only
five miles from Hartford. He say.
that the working of the machine i:
so easy that ne could continue il
for four consecutive hours, without
fatigue, in a quiet atmosphere.
