A NEW BALLOON.
Inventor Campbell Claims to have Solved the
Problem of Aerial Navigation.

Problem of Aerial Navigation.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, March 10.-Inventor P. Car
mon Campbell the air ship man, has
another sky scraper ready for trial. 1t is
constructed on nearly the same lines as
that in which Prof. Hogan, the Michigan
eronaut, lost his life last summer. The
means of ascension and descension are sim
liar, but operated on much simpler plan.
The chief new feature of the ship is para
chute arrangement by which a fall can be
made in safety from almost any height.
Colonel Campbell considers his new ship
the perfection of aerial craft and that it can
be propelled in any direction and moved up
and down at the will of the pilot. Should
the balloon collapse, an improbable event,
as only enough gas is carried to float the
ship, the parachute arrangement prevents
DELL is positive he has solved the problem of
aerial navigation, and so sure is he of sue
cessful trial that he himself will make the
initial trip. The risky experiment will
take place some time in May, near Niagara
falls, it being the intention of the colonel
to sail over the falls and descend alongside
the water as it plunges downward to the
basin. Natural gas will be used in the
balloon. This will be procured from well
near Thunderstorm, Ont. After the trial
trip est can't be anything buta big sue
cess" the colonel says,) the inventor will
steer his air ship all over New York and
Hoboken and astonish the natives.

ton s. This section makes it the duty of
the secretary of the treasury to refuse

The Lower Mississippi Flood.

ST. LOUIS, March 10.-Reports from the
lower Mississippi river are to the effect
that the flood has become alarmingly high
All along the coast the levees are breaking
at various places. There is great appre-
hension that large section OF country on
both sides of the river will be inundated.
The latest report is that the levee at Sap
pintonhoop, SIX miles above Arkansas City,
Ark, broke yesterday afternoon. The
whole river front from Crevasse to the
Louisiana line will be flooded. The whole
of the Kansas basin of Louisiana, consist
ing of four or five parishes, will undoubt-
edly be covered by water. The river at
Arkansas City is four tenths of an inch
above high water mark and still rising.
The present outlook is that there will be
at least foot more water, and that there
will be heavy loss of property.

been a serious accident occurred on the
stage of the Eden Muse tonight. An ex-

was carrie into the dressing room Dr.
Lahardie, who was in the audience, rushed
to the front and put several stitches in the
wound. He said if the cut was trife
deeper it might have proved fatal.
