HOGAN AND OAMPBELL'S AIR-SHIP,

The Aerial Wonder Disappears with Its
Daring Navigator and His Fate Il I'm
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the Machine and
Its First Trial-A Sketch of the Balloon
list and His Previous Performances.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-The probable fate
of Edward ID. Hogan, who took an aerial sail
in Campbell's new-fangled balloon Tues
day was matter of pure speculation
yesterday. Professor Campbell, the designer
and builder of the ship, has steadily main
tanned that Hogan is safe in some distant
corner of Long Island He has been ex-
perimenting for a long time TO perfect a ship
that can navigate the air. He believed tina,
it was possible to sail dead to the windy ward
He constructed a cigar-shaped balloon, so that
the resistance TO the wind might be reduced
to a minimum, and to this he suspended the
ship.
The Air-Ship Described.
The balloon was fifty feet in length, and
when filled with gas twenty four feet in di-
ameter. The ship was built of iron and can
vas, was thirty-six feet in length, and
weighed 400 pounds 1t was shaped like a
boat; the rudder was ON the bow and on the
stern was a propeller that was to drive il
through the air. Under the ship was another
wheel, in which were a number of twisted
blades This wheel was to elevate or lower
it When revolved to the right it was ex.
pected to send the ship up in the air; when
the motion was reversed the ship was low
cred

Before the accident occurred which result
ed IN the loss of the elevating wheel it was
demonstrated that the balloon could be driven
about at will, as Hogan raised and lowered
1t and sailed considerable distance in the
teeth of the wind. He returned TO his start
ing point and held the alrship motionless
over the heads of thousands who were eaz-
log Iso at him.

Not Prepared for "A Voyage.

Professor Hogan had not taken breakfast
when he started, and he had no provisions on
board He was very thinly clothed He
had a life-preserver, to he used in the event
of his taking tumble into the ocean There
was enough gas on hoard, Mr. Campbell
thought, to keep the balloon in the air for
four days

AT Greenville, Mich, four years ago, his
hOt-air balloon burst when half mile up,
but he climbed into the netting, inverted it,
making parachute, and descended safely.
There he conceived the parachute idea which
he has SO successfully worked during the last
two years Ii was Hogan who sent Barthol-
omew around the world with the Chicago
ball team He has made several parachute
jumps this season, and in answer TO numer-
Gus requests by Professor Campbell, he went
to New York two weeks ago to navigate the
air-ship He has a wife, mother. and three
brothers In jackson, and they all profess
faith that Ed will come ont all right from
this great ana last trip, but up to a late hour
last evening nothing had been heard from
him

Hogan was born at Ann Arbor thirty-four
years ago. He made his first trip in hot
air balloon, when he was II, at a circus la
Jackson he worked in planning mill fourteen
years to get money enough to start. He was
always determined to be an pronaut and is
totally devoid of fear and splendid athlete
In 1881 be made his first regular ascension in
balloon made by himself, paying the gas
company 500 to initiate it. He was up two
hours, landing at Stockbridge, twenty-three
miles north of jackson. During the next six
years he made many ascensions, and was re-
markably successful He has had several
accidents, but always escaped, being cool
and fearless
