church, in regard to the manner in
which he has done the work so far,
and that they have every confidence
in his ability to complete the edifce
according to contract.

Joseph Robinson had two narrow
escapes last Wednesday. He was out
in the bay in canvass boat, and was
about half mile from the Prentiss
wharf. The boat leaked some, and
unknown to Mr.. Robinson, the barrel
of the gun got full of water. A duck
suddenly rose from the water. To
shoot duck on the wing requires quick
ness, and Mr.. Robinson quickly seized
his gun, did not notice the water in
the barrel, and fired. The next thing
he knew his gun was in pieces, the
stock remaining in his hands, and the
conclusion caused him to upset the
frail craft. He was now forced to
swim ashore, which he accomplished
after much difficulty, and escaped
with only slight mark on his face.

Aerial Navigation.

SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, July H.
In the Secretary Of States office yester-
day George w. Starr, James Donnell and
Joseph Gotthelp filed certificate for incor-
poration Of what is to be known as the
"Aerial Navigation Company Of Chicago"
The object Of this corporation is stated to
be "the transportation of passengers and
freight through the air." Two millions Of
dollars comprise the capital stock OF the
new corporation, and each share to be sold
at 5000 The total number Of shares is to De
10000. The immense amount Of capital
stock.together with the comparatively small
number of shares, is evidence thatthe scheme
is something more than an aggregation
of intangible ideas, and from the lnforma-
ton cleaned it is probable something more
will be heard of the Aerial Navigation
Company in the near future. IL IS as
serted that the machines to be manu-
factured bv this company are perfection
of the one tested at Hartford, Conn, nearly
two wears ago, which at that time attracted
such a widespread interest. Immediate
stems are to be taken toward the manu-
facture of a monster machine OF great
power and capacity, and il the inventors
Of the machine are not over enthusiastic
it will be but few months before tne
scientific and inventive world Will be elec,
trifed by the announcement OF attalnef
nerfection in aerial navigation
