Story of Startling Fall from an Alti.
tude Of a 4 lie.
From the Chiccoo Tribune.

From the Chicooo Tribune.
II. Heunequin of Paris, who has had
some experience in aerial navigation, ar
rived in the city from San Francisco on his
way home, and during his stay in Chicago
called on Mr.. Pennington of air ship fame,
at the Grand Pacific hotel. Mr.. Henneqnin
was in Fontenay at the time Tissindier and
Cover had their startling adventure in a
balloon. The traveller is an intimate friend
of Cover and tells the story of their fall of
mile as the balloontst related it TO him.
They assembled from Tissindiers house in
Paris and fioated off toward Vincen1es aud,
as the wind was somewhat strong from the
northeast, the two men soon disappeared
from the view of Paris baving risen to a
hight of about 800 feet When they bad
reached Fontenay, however. they were fully
5000 feet above the earth. They were sail
ing along smoothly, watching the scenes be
low, when suddenly they seemed to fall into
a hole in the atmosphere, and down they
went at a terrific rate. Cover glanced at
the needle Of the vertical scale. IL was trav-
cling with lightning speed. roar filled
their ears and both men thought their time
had come. No hing had happened to the
balloon. It was in perfect condition, but
there seemed TO he no air to hold it up.
"TissiEdier desperately threw out sand
bags. They were falling so rapidly that the
bags were left far behind aud disappeared
above them. The earth seemed to be rush
ing at them with the speed of comet.
There seemed to be no atm sphere lett and
they could scarcely breathe. AS a last
resort Iissindiere threw over the anchor
and the remaining ballast aud the big bal
loon, after a rush Of mile through the air,
regained its poise ard they were saved. The
earth was but fifty feet below"
This goes to show" continued Mr.. Hen
nequin, that too much precaution cannot
be observed in carrying plenty Of ballast.
| There are in the air occasional rarefaca-
tions, aud when a balloon once gets into
enc of them it drops like a piece of lead.
Cover and Tissindier sailed into veritable
pit in the air, and had they not had lots of
ballast aboard they would have been dashed
| to pieces"

LEASE OF THE CENTRAL.
II Is THOUGHT IT WILL BE TO THE
RICHMOND TERMINAL.

John u. Inman Coming to Savannah
This Week to Discuss the Matter
With the Ger trails Directors-The
Terms of the Proposed Lease-A Ru-
NOR That it Will Be for Ninety-nine
Years and in the Name of the Georgia
Pacifc-A Through Line to the Missis-
eippi
The MORNING NEWS, several days ago,
mentioned the rumor Of lease Of the Gen.
trial railroad as the cause Of the sudden
activity and advance in Central stock.
Two weeks ago Central was quoted at 1l3JE.
Saturdays closing quotations were 12011.
1t is now understood that the Richmond
Terminal is the probable lessee.
The Constitution says that John II. In
man spent Saturday in Atlanta in confer
ence, at H. T. Inman's office. with Pat Cal
houn and other directors Of the Central, and
that the roads lease by the Terminal was
discussed. Mr.. Inman and Mr.. Calhoun
will be in Savannah this week to talk the
matter over with Gen. Alexander and the
directors here.
In the proposed lease the representatives
negotiating the terms have been dicker1ng
for several days. One of the propositions
submitted by the Central people is a lease
for ninety-nine years, similar TO that of the
Georgia railroad. That is, the lessees guar
antes per cent. on the net earnings of the
company, paid semi-annually, and that the
Central Railroad Bank retain its present
working capital, and that it be run in the
interest of the stockholders, the earnings of
the bank to 60 to them.
The lease question has been the gossip of
the street for some time, but who the prob
able lessees were was a mystery. The
Georgia Company, which holds the con-
trolling stock of the Central, has been dis
satisfied with the way the Central is handi-
capped by its lease Of the Southwestern
railroad company. In case the Central
earns sufficient to pay its fixed charges
and to allow dividend over per cent. the
Southwestern must receive an increase in
its dividend also, and it is
really TO avoid this additional divid-
end which has brought about the scheme to
lease the Central. 1t is well known that
the Central, in the last few years, has
shown its ability, with its recent heavy ad-
ditions to its rolling stock, and connections
and agreements with feeders to the sys-
TEN, to earn 10 per cent. net dividend
OF course, all the additional earnings OF
this property above per cent. are desired
by the terminal company.
Inc CONSTITUTION says: III Is UNDERSTOOD
that the lease will be made under the name
of the Georgia Pacific road instead of tue
Terminal company. This will make a con-
tinuous line from Savannah TO the Missis-
sippi river at Greenville, where the
road will connect with the Gould
systems and with their roads run
ming direct to- the Pacific ocean. 1t is not
improbable that solid trains will be run
from Savannah to the Pacific coast within
six months. 1t is understood that Mr.. Gould
is very much in favor of the lease, aud says
it will be great move toward the develop
ment of Savannah as a great port"

THE COUNTY DRAINAGE.
Engineer Blandford's Report on the
MusgroYe Creek Watershed.

Musgroye Creek Watershed.
Engineer Blandford submitted q
very interesting report to the county
commissioners at their last meeting
on the matter of draining the
swamps of the Musgrove creek watershed,
south of the Springfield plantation. The
report was rather voluminous, and goes
into detailed account Of the length of the
watershed and the places it traverses.
"The inclination of the bed of the main
says, ''for little distance south of the
Springfield dam, has an average of about
ITS feet per mile. With the best condi-
toned canal that may be dug in il this will
give velocity of flow of about IS feet per
second, or nearly IA m les per hour. With
this velocity, a canal AZ feet in width at the
top, 80 feet at the base and 4 feet deep
would discharge $50 cubic feet per second,
or the IA, 400, 900 cubic feet of the inch of
rainfall over the entire area in about IL
hours and z minutes.
The retaining capacity of the canal may
be increased ! Il times more by making
from the earth excavated dykes to an ele-
walton of about feet.
This dimension Of canal, properly dug
and graded to the point of discharge, with
well constructed trunks or gates at that
point, think would be large enough for
the main conduit. Its dimensions may be
diminished proportiouately as each arm dis.
charges into it. The dimensions of these
tributaries, of course, is determined by the
extent OF their respective water sheds.n
The area Of the Musgrove creek water
shed is ten square miles, and, while its drain
age will be big undertaking, the amount
OF land reclaimed will amply compensate
for it.

a GOOD SUGGESTION.
A Reformatory School for Idle Lads
Proposed.

Reformatory School for Idle Lads
Proposed.
Editor Morning Nelcs: Some recent ex-
perieuce has impressed upon me and upon a
number Of co-workers the pressing need for
school for the reformation of the idle lads
who swarm our streets. Some of them can
be reclaimed and made useful citizens. All
agree the need is great. The state will not
move; the county should. Even though the
chain-ga and convict camps should lose a
few workers the county Of Chatham can
lead in a movement, which will be followed
by every county in the state, and which
would in time give US a properly conducted
state reform school and rid las of many
criminals. Any careful observer in our
city will confirm all affirm. 1t would bs
a good measure of economy, and greatly
tighten the work of toe police and reduce
taxation. My experience was with a lad
of ii years OF age, not vicious but idle.
After being placed in a school he ran away,
was taken by the police, locked up for three
days, and given good advice by an excellent
mayor and chief of police. He again ran
away, and is now a street arab in a neigh
boring city in active training for life of
crime.
Organized society folds its organized
hands and says nothing can be done to save
him. Yet there is not an intelligent
woman or man but knows that he aud
many others can and should be saved, and
chat if we neglect the duty now another
generation must do this and much more.

AN OLD ENGINE.
Savannah Has One That Has Bsen in
Use for Seventy Years.

Savannah Has One That Has Bsen in
Use for Seventy Years.
Savannah has probably the Oldest engine
in use in America. 1t is the one which
operates the lower rice mill, and has been
in constant use for about seventy years. 1t
is to-day doing as good service as when
built
The engine is of the Bolton & Watts
make, and is one OF the finest turned out
by that firm. 1t is condensing, walking
beam engine, simil to those used by
steamboats,, and which are seldom met with
nowadays on land. 1t is not as economical
a machine as those of more recent inven-
ton, on account of taking steam the full
length of the stroke, but does fully as good
service, and besides has the advantage of
being reversible and capable of being
worked by hand.
The engine has been working steadily
since it was put up, and from its appear
ance it is fully capable of continuing for a
half century, 1t is quite valuable, not only
for its work, but its age as well, and would
doub less make an interesting relic at the
worlds fair.
