His Air Ship Went Down In the Sea-The
Navigator Probably Lost.
! NEw YoRK. July 1S.-An incomiag pilot
reports that July Is, in latitude 1880,
longitude 71.4O, he sighted balloon
dragging a car along the surface OF the
water. He gave chase, but at sundown,
when about three-fourths of mile from it,
it collapsed and disappeared. 1t is sup.
posed to be the missing ship.
There seems to be no longer any reason
to doubt that Hogan, the aeronaut, is
dead. The pilot says the last thing he saw
the balloon parted from the basket and
sailed away, and the basket sank. He
eruised where it went down butfound moth
ing.
Hogan was 46 years OF age and had
made 400 successful balloon ascensions ano
80 parachute jumps in the % years he had
followed the dangerous business. He wal
regarded as the foremost aeronaut in the
world. Some of his friends still hope ht
may yet be alive, even il injured, ano
landed in some out of the way place.

struggle. This was q monster salmon
trout, and weighed fourteen pounds and
two ounces. Another and larger fish was
seen, but could not be secured. ODE Pep
pard. the superintendent, says that he has
