sure-IDterest of the People.
ENPoRIA, KAN, Aug. 24.-Hon. j. r.
Walkup's funeral took place at the Meth
odist church this morning with an i'm
mense attendance filing the church and
adjacent streets, many people coming from
the surrounding country. The interest In
the case surpasses all precedent here.
Mrs. Walkup retains her easy, cool self-pos-
sessed bearing, and the attendance at the
house yesterday mighe be called levee
for her. She continues to assert her en-
tire innocence. She did not attend the
funeral at the church, as her presence
might have given rise to great excite
ment. The analysis by DR.. Gardner Of
the stomach and other parts of Mr..
Walkup's body did not de-
termine the presence of arsenic or
any other poison, and he has taken the
parts to Kansas City for a more complete
and exhaustive analysis. Reports from
New Orleans as to the landing OF the
Wallace family there are very conflicting.
Mrs. Walkup, nee Minnie Wallace, re-
mains at the residence in care of the
Sheriff, and has so far been treated with
entire respect. The mystery Of the case
seems to deepen and the interest to in
tensify hourly.

AERIAL AND WATER TRAVEL

vented a Wonderful Propeller.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 24.-Mr.
Alexander Vogelsang, of Philadelphia,
has written letter to the Secretary Of
the Navy, in which he offers suggestions
concerning aerial navigation and offers to
the government a new aerial screw pro-
peller he has invented, and thinks it will
apply equally well to aerial machines and
vessels that sail upon the sea- He says
the trouble experienced by aronauts in
sailing through the air is that they
have no screw propeller which will draw
well with few revolutions. Such pro-
peller he claims to have invented He
says he tried it upon a row boat contain
ing four men, not having an aerial ma
chine, and 1t showed great power, driving
the boat at rapid rate, though the wheel
was not in the water, but operated merely
against the resistance of the air. He sug-
gested that it might be applied to steamers
and even sailing vessels, and would fur
nish great motive power at very little ex-
pense. One Of the experiments be
describes was to place the propeller across
two carpenters horses, upon which sever
al men were seated, and by one revolution
OF the wheel in the air moved the trucks
and men across the room.
