Criminal.

Mary Hogan, depraved specimen of
humanity about 35 years of age, was
arrested on the streets in drunken and
almost helpless condition to-day and taken
before Justice HAYES who fined her $40
and costs, but gave her until o'clock this
P. NJ in which to leave the city, failing to
do which she will be confined in Jail to
board it out.
VIM. Cummins came to the city last
night with a company of tourists calling
themselves harvesters. William has an
instructive antipathy to policemen and his
soul was filed with disgust at the humility
with which his fellow tramps obeyed the
officers and he took no pains to conceal it.
The more he talked about it the more GER
tain he was that the others were idiots and
that no policeman was powerful enough to
arrest him. He brandished his fists and
begged some one to show him policeman.
He fairly ached to get hold of one and
make an example Of him, and at this mo-
ment, as il heaven had heard and answered
his prayer, Officer Blackburn laid his gen
tle,persuading hand firmly upon William
shoulder. He turned, comprehended the
situation, and wilted. His finger ends
were not large enough to afford an escape
for his courage, and he meekly accom-.
panied the officer to Justice Halves Office
and was fined So and costs; paid $3.50
all he had-and skipped for Iowa.

Accident to a Tramp.

Mr. Merrill of the G. B. Il q. railroad
telegraphed Coroner Morris and DR..
Davidson this morning to meet him on the
arrival of the south bound train to go to
Barstow station. where, he was notified, a
man lay dead or dying, On their arrival
at Barston they found the man still alive
but beyond any hope of recovery. The
facts concerning the accident as they
learned them were that the injured man
got aboard freight train, No. 9, at Bush
nell last night with several other tramps.
They were lying on top Of the cars and
this one, whose name is John Burns, was
asleep when the train reached Barstow
Some one halioed to them to get up, that
the train was 10 Rock Island, and Burns,
about half asleep, staggered to his feet
and fell between the cars, striking his head
upon the coupling pin, crushing the skull
and driving the iron into bis brains. The
whole left side of his forehead and back tC
the left car was mashed in and the brains
oozing out. He was brought to Moline
aud placed in the engine house, over the
calaboose, still alive but insensible at
o'clock this p. ~, although the doctor
said he could not live and would probably
die during the afternoon. Nothing coulC
be ascertained regarding his family Oh
relatives

Decision Of Character.

This morning as the south bound train
pulled up at the st. Louis depot weather
beaten couple. with three bandboxes and
two satchells, rushed breathlessly up to the
ticket agent aud inquired if that was the
train for Monmouth. He assured them
that it was and advised them to be ex-
peditious in boarding. The old man took
the advice and clambered on but the
sharer of his joys and sorrows had travelled

A HIGH.FLYER.

Prof. Richtel, Of Bridgeport, Conn,
Perfects a Machine for Navigating
Still Air.
A Hartford, Conn, special of June
18th says the first successful exhibition,
it is believed, ever given Of flying ma.
chine comfortable by an aeronaut with
out the use Of ballast or the waste of
gas was given here this afternoon, in
the presence ola large assembage. The
machine is the invention of Prof. f. +.
Richtel, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, who, after
seven years Of experimenting, has
solved the problem which has SO long
dehed inventors and scientists. Those
who witnessed the exhibition believe
that the right principle is found, and
that aerial navigation is only question
OF time. Richtels machine differs from
all previous inventions. 1t embraces n
balloon of horizontal, cylindrical
shape, only twenty by twelve feet, hold
ing 5000 feet Of gas, from which, sus-
pended by cords, is n narrow frame
work of hollow steel rods as long as the
balloon, and pointed at either end. The
operator sits in his seat at the centre of
the framework and turns crank, which
revolves a four-bladed air-propeller, in
cIincd horizontally Immediately beneath
his seat, by which the balloon is elevated
or depressed at pleasure,-the propel-
lor having raising power of six pounds.
At one end of the framework is another
air-propellor, inclined vertically, by
which the balloon may be propelled
against the resistance of slight breeze,
and also stecred, the wheel being of the
steering propeller model. With the
operator on board the entire weight
slightly exceeds the lifting power of the
gas in the balloon, but this deficiency is
supplied by the propeller under the
scat. Although the conditions were
unfavorable this afternoon, it being
rainy, the exhibitor was eminently sue
ccssful, rising to 100 feet. The opera
tors power Of raising or lowering his
position was shown. Then he went of
eastward 100 rods, turned around twice,
and, ut signal from the inventor, start
ed back against Il slight breeze blowing,
and landed in the exhibition grounds
amid applause. After showing immedi-
ately over the heads of the spectators
the case with which the machine nav
igatcd in any direction, the exhibition
was terminated by u heavy thunder
storm. Prof Richtels claims appear to
be woll-based, that is, the machine
will keep moving in the mir until the
operator wants to descend, is wholly in
dependent of ballast, and suffers no
waste of gas. Consequently, the ma
chine will float for M extended journey,
is capable of reaching favorable air cur
rents without loss of power, and of COM
ing to the ground when desired. Two
machines have been ordered for exhibit
ton purposes ut Niagara Falls.

Another Fast Flour Train.

In the previous number ofthc Inner
ictn Exchange an account was given OF
m arrangement made between the flour
milers of Minneapolis and the Erie and
North Shore Dispatch Fast Freight line,
by which western flour, intended for
export to England, should be transport
ed direct to this city i'll about four days.
The first shipment under the arrange
ment was made May II, and, proving
successful, Mr.. G. L. Spencer, Of St.
Paul, the northwestern agent of the
Eric and North Shore Dispatch, ar
ranged for y second shipment. Last
Friday afternoon the second cargo, CON
sisting of 300 barrels oftlour, left Min
ncapolis and reached this city Tuesday
evening, about four days from the time
Of starting. Yesterday morning the
freight was all ready for delivery on
board the ocean steamships.
The freight was forwarded from Min
neapolis to Chicago by way Of the Chi
cage, st. Paul and Minneapolis and the
Chicago and Northwestern railways, in
stead of by the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st, Paul road, rs on the previous occa-
SION; proceeding to this city by way
of the Michigan Central, Great West
ern and Erie railroads, rs before.
Tho run between Minneapolis
and Chicago was made III
twenty-five hours and forty-eight min
utes, the quickest time ON freight ever
made between these points. Il is ex-
pccted that this shipment will reach
London in from one to two days less than
that made by the steamer Australian.
The following milling firms Of Mime
apolis were represented in the shipment,
each firm shipping the number of bar
rels specified c. A. Pillsbury 4 Co,
GOO barrels, consigned to London; G..
w. Goodrich 4 Co., 400 barrels, con-
