Once more the Chicagos defeated the
Pittsburg ball team yesterday. Tener, of
the East End, did great work for Chicago.
and so did Staley for Pittsburg; but Rowe's
costly error knocked chances of local vic
tory into oblivion. The Washington team
beat the Giants easily. Dunlap has been
offered to Boston, but that club deemed his
price too big. Smith will go to Boston.

fana Salaries hepf Up.
BISMARCK, N. D., July 30.-In the Con-
stitutionaI Convention to-day Rolfe, Of
Benson county, threw fire brand by offer
ing an amendment to the article on suffrage
providing that after five years no man who
is not full citizen OF the United States
shall have a right to vote. This brought
the orators to their feet and many opposed
the amendment. Moer, of Lsmoure, could
not see why men who in conversation fav-
ored such proposition, should not favor it
publicly, and intimated that they were
afraid of the foreign vote. The theory that
all taxes should be collected from the lands,
and improvements and personal property
be exempt, is popular with many of the del
egates.
At Helena the Montana convention con-
sidered and passed the bill on the execu-
tive department. Efforts to reduce State
officers salaries proved fruitless. The
suffrage bill, with the amendments by the
Committee of the Whole, was next taken
up. More desperate efforts were made on
behalf of the woman's suffrage order.
They were cut short by adjournment. On
re-assembling Mr.. Toole made speech
against embodyIng the matter in the Con-
stitution. The vote on the proposition was
tle, 80 TO 80. Thls relegates the woman
suffrage question to oblivion for the present.
The suffrage bill was then submitted as
amended and accepted by a vote of 81 to g..
In the Washington convention the section
establishing a soldiers home was passed,
only two delegates voting against it. The
other clauses, providing that the Legisla-
ture shall provide for the protection and
safe keeping of arms, that militia men shall
not be arrested while on duty, and that per-
sons having conscientious scruples against
bearing arms shall not be required to serve
in the militia, but shall pay the equivalent
for such exemption, were passed.

AIR SHIPS.

The Problem of Their Construction Re.
ceiving Great Attention.
Railway Master Mcdaniel
The problem of air navigation is receiving
more attention now than ever before. Nor is
it ''cranks" only who are working at it. Me-
chanical engineers of ability and reputation
are devoting time and thought to its solution.
That some one will work it out at not very
distant day is not at all impossible, nor even
improbable. 1t is simply question of in
creasing power without increasing the weight
of the apparatus by which the power is de-
veloped. Just how much the ratio of power
to weight must be increased we do not
venture to say, but there are no sufi-
cient grounds for asserting that such in
crease is impracticable. The solution of the
problem may be found in improved engines
| and boilers, or in fuels or in storage bat
teries, or in some yet unexplored part of the
field of electrical force. 1t would be rash to
predict just how success will be reached,
| but it would be much more rash to insist
that it never will be reached.
The successful airship will, it is safe to
say, be a large structure, very light in
weight compared with its strength, but yet
many times heavier than the air it dis
places The mechanical skill which has
| produced that marvel of lightness and
strength, the modern bicycle. will not find
the task of designing such structure too
| difficult
Attempts to navigate the air by means of
| gas-infated receptacles have been persisted
in through hundred years, but no real sue
cess has been reached. Such devices, in spite
of all the efforts to make them dirigible,
are but as feathers in the wind. All such
attempts are in the wrong direction. A bird
can hy-uot because it is comparatively light
in weight (for it is not) but because it is
strong. Its breast muscles, by which its
wings are operated, are of immense pro-
portionate size, and the rapid circulation Of
blood supplies these muscles with abundant
stores Of energy. or all living creatures
the vital energies of the bird are the most
intense, and it is, therefore, able to produce
the power required to sustain its body in,
and propel it through, the air.

DUQUESNE'S INCENDIARIES.
Initial Steps Taken to Guard Against Rep

tor Is Out in an Interview.

Initial Steps Taken to Guard Against n Rep
etition of the Church Burning-The Pas
tor Is Out in an Interview.
A meeting was held in Duquesne on Mon
day evening and continuance thereof last
night, consisting for the most part of men-
bers of the congregation of the burned
Methodist Church. After some discussion
it was pretty generally agreed that
appearances were decidedly in IA
vor of the incendiarism idea.
At $50 last night about score of persons
put in an appearance. The proceed
ings were private, but one of
those who attended supplied the
particulars. William Oliver presided.
The first subject discussed was the report
circulated to the effect that the fire had been
occasioned by malice aforethought. An
agreement could not be reached on this
point, but it was evident that the majority
of those present believed in the incendiarism
theory. Mr.. Oliver then stated the various
plans for prevention in future of such con-
hagrations. Among these was volunteer
fire brigade, which didn't seem to take. The
next idea was more feasible one, namely,
to pay a night watchmsn; but Of course his
attention would be confined to the church
alone. This plan was adopted.
A short interview was obtained with Rev.
Mr.. Tannehill, pastor of the burned church.
He had no doubt whatsoever that the burn
ing was prearranged affair. When ques-
toned as to the motive of such crime, he
said: "Plunder was the motive. Several
people tried to enter stores and private
houses during the excitement caused by the
flames, and have heard that some minor
articles were stolen. This is not the first
attempt at incendiarism here. A house on
the hill was partially burnt and robbed a
short time ago. If proper steps were taken
the perpetrators could be identified"

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.1
MIDDLETowN, N. Y, July 30.-Adeline
F. Smith and Irving johnson were married
at Marathon in 1888. After being together
q year or two they quarreled and sepa-
rated. Each charged the other with
infdelity, and the husband en-
tered suit for divorce in the Supreme
Court of Onondaga county, while the wife
began a similar suit in the Supreme Court
of Cortland county. As it happened.
both courts ordered the entering
of DEGREES in favor Of the respective
plaintiffs on the same day, and in each case
upon terms which stopped the defendant
from marrying again during tie life
time of the plaintiff. In other words,
the Onondaga Court gave Mr..
johnson decree of divorce with the privi-
lege of marrying again, while denying that
privilege to his wife, and the Cortland
Court gave Mrs. johnson divorce with the
privilege of remarrying, while Withholding
that privilege from her husband.
Mrs. johnson married Alexander Champ
lin, respectable young farmer of Groton.
Her second matrimonial venture turns out
a failure, like the first. Mr.. Champlin
now brings suit, asking that the alleged
marriage of the parties be declared fraudu-
lent and null and void, inasmuch as Mrs.
johnson failed to inform him before their
marriage that there existed judgment of
court which barred her from marrying
again.

SARATOGA, July 30.-It would be i'm
possible to imagine more disagreeable
weather for racing than prevailed at this
track to-day. Rain fell steadily, and the
track was sea of mud. 1t was day for
bowling over the ia vorires, but certainly no
one looked for the defeat of Hanover, and
when Lucky Baldwin's mare collared him
the spectators went perfectly wild. Hats
and umbrellas were thrown in the air and
everyone shouted.

perate struggle through the stretch, landed a
neck in front. 1t was magnificent race, and
the greatest display of horsemanship seen on
this track for many a year. Both Hanover
and Los Angeles finished very gamely. Barnes

LONDON, July 30.-The game between the
Philadelphia cricket team and the Gentlemen
of Southampton was continued to-day. The

terday. Newhall, of the American team,
played well for q runs. Brewster and Patter-
son also played excellent cricket. Together

was heartily applauded. The score of the visl-
tors in their second inning was 228.

When Smith was notified yesterday by Secre.

at first held out for half the release money.
Finally he consented to go without enforcing
these conditions. PresidentNimick stated defin-
itely yesterday that Dunlap had been offered to
Boston, but the terms were too steep for the
Triumvirs. The latter would neither give the
price asked nor trade a good catcher. An
effort was then made to trade Smith for CAMEL
but this wouldn't go, and Smith was sold.
Pitcher Conway. it is now reported, threatens
to try and obtain his salary from the club. 1t
is stated that the brotherhood will push his
claim. 1t is not stated, however, what are the
reasons of his claims. The local officials are In
no way alarmed about the matter.
