A DARIUS GREEN"
WAO THINKS he HAS SOLVED THE MYS-
TERIES OF FLYING.
He has Invented Monster Air Ship, Which He
Claims viii Soar Among the Clouds at
the Rate Of Seventy Miles an Hour.
To be Built at Once.

CHICAGO, October 3l.-Frcd y. At
wood, of this city, has invented an air
ship with which he claims he will be
able to travel at the rate Of ~ miles an
hour. A company with capital Of
500, 900 has been organized TO build
and test it. The ship he has invented
and the principles he has patented diff
fer from all others yet invented. The
ship itself resembles most of the others
built. 1t is cigar-shaped, and has big
cabin hung under IL. Huge tanks are
to contain hydrogen gas, which Is 10 be
partially used in lifting the ship from
the ground. Three engines are to be
inside the cabin operating seven big
! fan wheels. These wheels look like
those on wind mills in the country.
| Three OF these wheels are propellerS
One is hung under the bow and one un-
der the stern, arranged so that they can
turn any way like ruddcr. -Four huge
wheels are to be used in elevating the
ship. These are u feet in diameter and
have IL blades, each blade 10 square
! feet in surface. These wheels rcyOlVe in
huge cylinders that open out of the
bottom of the ship. The idea is to run
these wheels ZOO revolutions minute
and thus force column OF air out of the
cylinders. creating a vacuum. The air
rushing back toward the open cylinder
will elevate the ship. Each wheel the
Inventor estimates, has lifting power
of four tons. The ship itself will weigh
but 25,00O or 10000 pounds, and with
four wheels, each having the power to
lift four tons, and with the auxiliary
assistance of hydrogen gas the ship, it
is said, can be lifted. Once elevated, it
Is an easy thing to propel ii. All about
the ship is perfectly smooth plane, 4
deck having a surface Of 100, 600 square
feet This alone would scale the air in
an obliquc direction up or down like a
kite. The ship will be built of alumi-
mum. the lighteSt metal known. 1t will
be 3O5 feet long, 80 feet high and 80
feet wide. The hydrogen gas will be
manufactured on board the ship. Steam
will be the motive power and gas the
fuel. The engines are strong and light
and specially constructed. The ship
will cost about S3O,000 and will be-

THE LIBRARY COMMISSION

VIII bs Called Together Nexf Week to
Meet Andrew Carnegie.
RIB. Carnahan said yesterday regarding
the wild-eyed rumors which were spread re-
garding the placing of the library at the
Point: mo such intimation has ever been
made. The commission has not met as yet,
nor will it until next week, when it will
probably be called together on the arrival Of
Andrew Carnegie A consultation will be
held then, and it would at least be courtesy
to consult his wishes on the subject. As
for the story that site had been determined
upon, there is about as much foundation for
it as for that which was published making
Mr.. Carnegie book agent, desirous of sell
ing Mrs. Schenley volume. The origin Of
the latter is that Mr.. Carnegie telegraphed
me for Mrs. Schenley's address to send, not
sell, the lady book in which her gen.
erosity to Pittsburg is recommended as a
good example to be followed. The Library
Commission, of which am member, will
probably meet within ten Gays or so.'

LAW AS WELL AS WOOL.

The Tariff Levied on the Latter il Causing
Some Observation-Disclosures Between
Allegheny and Washington County
Courtp-New Subject for Taxation.
There is not that comfy between ALLIE
gheny and Washington county lawyers that
is usually supposed to belong to the cloth
to be inherent in the profession-and some
of the members of the Allegheny county bar
are getting hot under the collar. A WASH
ington county man is not only allowed
to get into Pittsburg station houses, but
NAV be taken there in the "hurry-up"
wagon without the exertion of any more
energy than the resident soak or tough, and
a Washington county lawyer who has been
admitted to the bar of this county can do
business in our courts without let or him
drance. But there is no reciprocity. When
an Allegheny county lawyer who has been
admitted to the Washington county bar
wants to enter an appearance on the docket
in Washington county, he must either ac-
Quire a residence in that county or secure
the services of a resident lawyer.
Another source ofcep plaint is that when
judgment note is satisfied in Washington
county the 5 per cent provision for attor-
news fee is collected by the Prothonotary
whether the holder has found it necessary to
employ an attorney or not. If such note be
put on record one day and satisfied the same
day without protest or hiring OF an attorney
the per cent is collected. and, on $4,000,
for instance, the levy becomes matter of
$500. AS these regulations are orders of
court there is no lodging them.
Theoretically, it is probable that eonsid-
erable majority OF the members of the bar
of Allegheny county are advocates of pro-
lection to home industry, but they make
wry faces over the chalice presented to their
lips by the Washington court. They
are willing to allow the home
of statesmen tariff on wool,
but object to its being levied on law. 1t is
said the wool industry has declined about
80 per cent in that county, SO that it may be
a necessity to substitute law as subject for
taxation. Being regarded as a luxury by
many people, they may be inclined to place
1t alongside whisky and tobacco, regardless
OF the Favored nation" doctrine.

He IL Not Yet Certain About MInnick's In.
sanItY-Nfrs. Miunick and Her Daughter
Visited DIxmont on Tuesday-He Has
Strange Symptoms.
A DISPATCH reporter visited DR.. Hutch
inson, at Dixmont Hospital, last night, in
reference to the case of W. J. Minnick, of
Braddock, committed to that institution on
Monday last, and whose insanity is brought
into question. Said the doctor:
OF course 1t is too soon for me to give any
positive opinion in reference to Minnick's case,
but there are several points that, in my belief,
argue in favor of mental arrangement. First
OF these is the fact that the commitment is
signed by Drs. Sandles and McCord, whom
know to be two Of the most learned physicians
in the county, and in whose judgmentI place the
greatest confidence. In the second place, the
man displays one Of the signs to be first
noticed in insane patients, and that
Is the most supreme dislike for
his family. No matter how much q man
may love his wife previously, one of the first
signs of insanity is to get such ideas into his
head. Still another sign is the suspicious ma
ture of the man. He seems to suspect any
body and everybody OF intrigue OF some kind.
Certainly none of the above facts are absolute
signs of mental arrangement, in fact had a
long talk with him to-day. He appeared to be
perfectly rational and talked Just as sensibly as
any sane man can. but that is common in many
cases. There are any number Of maniacs, who
having great Will power do not show certain
signs until considerable time has elapsed, but
it is bound to develop sooner or later. If the
man in question be found sane, 1 will as soon
as possible secure his release from this place.
BY the way, Mr.. Minnick's wife and daughter
were here yesterday, and they betrayed the
utmost sollcitude for his welfare. They both
appear to be excellent people, and must say
that do not really believe they have entered
into any conspiracy against the man"
An attempt was made to see DR.. McCord, but
repeated calls at his house failed to find him.

A GYPSY CAMP STORY.
How Prince Al and L0nisa De Elsie Met
Loved and Welded.

How Prince Al and Louisa De Elsie Met,
Loved and Welded.
A party of eight gypsies have been in
camp on Sawmill run road, just outside of
the Thirty-sixth ward, for the last two days.
They have with them three wagons, one of
which is exceptionally handsome, being
used for the exclusive use of Louisa De
Elsie, the wife of the leader of the party,
and the only woman with them.
A call was made at the camping ground
yesterday afternoon, and Alfred Armstrong,
the leader, gave an account of the party.
He is q very tall and handsome English
man, about 50 years of age. He said that
all of the members OF the party are Of En-
glish birth, except his wife.
In 1880 the camp was organized in South
ern England, and trip was made to
France, where Armstrong met Louisa De
Elsie, beautiful girl Of respectable parent
age She visited the camp in 1881, and be-
came so enamored of Armstrong that in
spite of her parents protests they were mar
ried. Both Of the girls parents died within
year after the marriage, but in the mean
time forgave her and left her over $1,000.
With this the party took ship for Canada,
but found it too cold, and are now moving
southwark. Armstrong is known as "Prince
AL" The party is bound for Kentucky,
where gypsy convention is to be held IN
Nav.
