While the officers of the German army
have bent their inventive energies to tbs
construction Of practical air ship for war
purposes the French naval office has not
been idle and it has achieved success In a
like direction. The former have carefully
guarded their secret. Not so the French. 1t
now leaks ont that on July II balloon expert
ments were made in the harbor of Toulon, on
board of the floating battery Implacable, by
the inventor, Lient. Serpette, in the presence
of Admiral Amet and large staff of naval
and military officers. The balloon had a
circumference of $40 metres, was filed with
gas made on board of the vessel and held
captive by thin steel rope.
The special invention of Lieut. Serpette
consists in new method of ballasting the
car by which ascent and descent are exactly
regulated, and in the practical application of
direct telephone communication between the
aeronaut and not only the officers Of the ship
from which the balloon ascends, but also
with those Of an entire feet. Three ascen-
sions to the height of $50 metres were made
by the lieutenant and professional aeronaut.
At the second and third ascensions the I'm
placable and the feet moved out to sea at the
highest speed. The results were satisfactory.
The aeronaut was able to communicate at q
distance of twenty nautical miles the ap-
proach of a small steam launch. Thus the
approach of torpedoes, of hostile fleets and
the movements of land forces near the coast
can be promptly signaled. When the expert
ments were made calm prevailed. Whether
the invention is practical in a heavy sea with
strong wind is question apparently not
yet solved Philadelphia Times

tied by me-Honored Methods
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 2S-The supreme
court Yesterday rendered decision in the cele-
brated case of John S. Kidd, plaintiffin error
VS. j. E. Pearson and s. j. Loughran. Kidd
was an Iowa distiller who claimed that un-
der the state prohibition law the state
officers could not prevent the manufacture
of Intoxicating liquor for export to another
state He sought to restrain the state
officers from closing up his distillery. He
claimed that he was licensed by the board
of supervisors of Polk county to sell
liquor for mechanical, medicinal, culinary
and sacramental purposes during the period
of the alleged violations of the law His bus
iness iu the sale of liquor for other purposes
without the state he claimed came under the
head OF interstate commerce, controllable
only by congress, and the state law, II it
sought to prevent that commerce, came IN
conflict with the constitution of the United
States He also clainad that the statute
legalized the manufacture of alcohol for GER
tain purposes and thus recognized the fact
that it was legitimate article of commerce
and not per Sc nuisance.
Judge Lamar read the opinion of the court,
which was long and comprehensive He
said that it was of the genius and character
Of the whole government that its action
should apply to those external things which
affected more than one of the states but not
to those things which were completely
within a state. The manufacture of liquor
within the state OF Iowa was no less bust
ness within that state because the manufac.
turer intended exporting it. 1t was clearly
within the power of the state to reg.
ulate the manufacture of liquor within
its limits, whether for domestic or for foreign
consumption. The petitioner, said the court
made great error in saying that the statute
authorized the manufacture of alcohol. The
law contained a sweeping prohibition, and
all that saved it from complete abolition
were the exceptions in favor of alcohol used
for mechanical, medicinal, culinary and sac
ramental purposes The decision of the su
preme court of Iowa is affirmed.

FOUND WHO WAS TO BLAME.


Unequivocally Fixed.
MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Oct pa verdict
in the Mud Run wreck was rendered at this
city yesterday. 1t is as follows: We find
that the engineer of locomotives ASP and Ate
of the seventh section we're guilty of gross
neglect first, in failing to discover the red
signal in time. the evidence clearly showing
that this signal was in full view as their
trains approached; and, second, for not ap-
preaching the station under full control, as
required by both the general aud special or
ders. The evidence shows that the air brakes
of the entire seventh section were
under the control of the engineer of loco
motive $50, and that he could have stopped
the train in spite Of the locomotive ahead,
No. 452. We find that the lookout men of
locomotives 452 and 400 were guilty of gross
negligence in failing to report to their re-
spective engineers the red light at the station
as the train approached. These men were
placed on their respective engines as an
additional precaution, their special duties
being to look out for signals. The lookout
man on 4j2 failed to see the signal The other
one on 466 testified that he saw it when about
fifteen hundred feet from the station, yet he
reported all right to the engineer and claims
that he did not think the red light
meant anything, as nobody used it. We find
that the rear brakeman of the sixth section
was guilty of gross negligence, for when his
train stopped, instead of promptly going
hack the proper distance to warn the ap-
preaching train he stopped at the station.
There was time enough for him to have gone
back nearly half a mile, but he went less
than 400 feet. We find that the conductors
of the two sections failed in their duty The
first in not conforming to the rule requiring
each conductor TO see personally that his
brakeman protects the rear of his train, and
the second in not requiring his train to ap
proach the station under control

TO kill him. On Oct young Reynolds and
another boy, his cousin, John Sumner,
were together and Reynolds proposed that

Sumner refused, but accompanied his cousin
to the river bank, opposite Zeigler's house,
where they saw him in a boat "Come over
here" shouted Reynolds, "some one wants to
see you" Ziegler started across, and when
near the shore the boy raised his Winchester
and, with the words, I'm going to kill the
Dutchman,' fired, killing Ziegler instantly
Sumner said nothing about what had hap
pened until few days ago, as Reynolds had
threatened to kill him if he told Finally
he told his aunt what had occurred She in

The fashionable puppy is the bull or fox
terrier, with a decided leaning in favor of
the last The fox terrier is, in the first place,
dog easily taken care of, for he enjoys his
bath and comes out of it thing of beauty,
for his skin is so glossy. Then he can be
taught no end of very clever tries. OF his
abilities in the way Of cat and rat catching
nothing need be said; but when he is the
smart pet OF the season he is not asked to de-
vote himself to such material occupation. He
wears a rough, black cover piped with
orange, for this shade is the color of the
legion of honor for dogs. He has a silver
collar with his mistress address on it, but
not his name for it is trusted that if he is lost
the ever pervadiDg district messenger boy
will return him, and not by reason of the
knowledge of his name strike up an acquain-
lance with him and detain him until the re-
ward has been doubled or even trebled. The
fox terrier prefers to walk, so that the COM
ing man will not see the ladies of his estab-
lishment carrying around a pet dog "Bab's"

He was accorded an enthusiastic welcome,
the cheering continuing for several minutes,
and his remarks in criticism of the Mills bill

Of approval The speaker took up the ques-
ton of raw materials, stating that one of the
claims of tariff reformers was that raw
materials should come in free of duty. He
said that this was one of those things that
upon and be proposed to see whether provis-
ion was made for it in the Mills bill. He
then called attention to coal, iron ore, lime,
wood pulp, glue and marble, saying that
they were all on the free list wnen the bill
was first completed, but had been taken of
because prominent Democrats were inter
ssted in them, or because the putting of
them upon that list would injure the
Democracy. The bill was one of the
most discreditable performances ever pre-
sented. The tariff question was not treated
as great economic question, but with ref
erence to its relation to the continuance Of
Democracy in power. Wool represented nc

superintendent of the registry department of
the postoffice here, died Saturday and was
buried yesterday from Emmanuel Baptist
church, Rev. George c. Lorimer conduct
ing the service. Two thousand persons were
present DR. Lorimer became greatly agi-
tated as he pronounced his eulogy upon the
dead. With pale face and voice growing
more vehement every moment the pastor de-
ciared that the casket before him WINS
sad commentary upon the civil
service laws Of the country, and
that il sufficient Intelligence had
obtained in the administration Of the gov
eminent Mr. Squiers would either have been
alive or those present would be in attendance
upon the burial of tue postmaster of Chicago,
and not the superintendent of the registry
department These words provoked a
strange Scene. A hurst of applause which
filed the great auditorium arose from the
audience and drowned the speakers voice.
DR.. Lorimer appeared to be dismayed. He
lifted his right hand to still the noise, and
then, lowering his voice to conversational
tone, asked that further demonstrations of
the character he had just witnessed be de-
ferred to some O ther day.

MUST ACCEPT THE RATE
When the Interstate People Make 1t, Says
Judge Cooiey.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 23-Last July the inter
state commerce commission, on complaint of
individual oil refiners of Baltimore, ordered
that the charges on crude oil for transporta-
ton from Washington, Pa, to Baltimore
should not exceed 40 cents barrel This
order was sent to the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. 1t seems that rather than carry
thu oil at 40 cents the company decided to
abandon the traffic. Judge Cooley, presi-
dent of the commission has therefore written
to President Roberts, of the railway, as fol-
lows:
understand now that what has been done in
this case was done for the purpose of avoiding
giving effect 70 the decision the commission had
made Certainly the commission can not recog-

peny right to accept or decline at will traffic
