A Drunken Brute.

ANsoNIA, Conn.,, Aug. 1S.--John
Walsh had narrow escape from
lynching Monday night. His wife
lay in bed with her newborn babe,
when he came home drunk, dragged
her out of bed and clubbed her un-
mercifully, while the other children
screamed In terror. Finally Officer
Casey arrived on the scene, and,
breaking open the door, arrested
Walsh. AS he came out with his
prisoner the crowd that had been at
tracted by the racket raised the cry,
"Lynch the BRUTE" aud would un-
doubleday have done so bad not the
officer drawn his revolver and
threatened to shoot the first man
that interfered. Ia the police court
he was fined $40 for being drunk, and
In default Of payment was sent to
Jail.

that Mcconnell will be nominated
on the first ballot. The renomina-
ton of Willis Sweet for congress hy
acclanation IL conceded. H. O..

OUR NATIONAL CITY.

less Condition.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The Pc
tomac river, which is the only
waterway approach to the national
capital, after being practically un-
guarded for many years, is at last to
be supplied with modern defenses
During the present week the grin
and gray battlements of old Fort
Washington, 13 miles south of this
city on a portion of the Potomac
which is lined by high wooded
crests, will witness scene Of un-
usual activity, as many working
men will be engaged in the task OF
constructing an efficient defense.
The project contemplates empale-
ments ior four 12-inch modern guns
on lifts, Six 10inch aud three 8-incb
guns on a disappearing carriage,
eight IL inch motars and extensive
submarine mines operated from two
mining easements. The torpedo
al irangement will be one of the most
complete and destructive in The
world. Immediately In front of
the fort the Potomac curves grace
fully in the shape of a half moon,
and the guns posted in the land
atteries can deliver broadside as
well as show. on' fire upon an ad-
yancing boat before the torpedo
mines are reached. Plans have ais O
perfected for effectually obstructiug
the river at this point should such u
step be necessary. The sum of $1l7,-
100 from the general appropriation
of February "a, 1891, is now being
expended in this work, and should
that amount not prove sufficient an
will be made from the
passed at the session
recently ended. Two hundred ad-
acres OF ground at Sheridans
roint on the Potomac, contiguous to
Fort Washington, have also beer
acquired 10y the government so thai
there may be no lack of room for
the plant.

SUCCESSFUL AIR SHIP
Moves About at the will of the
Aeronant.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. 18-Charles
j. Woodward, now rightfulIy en-.
titled to the desie alton of "Pro
fessor," went into mid-air vito bis
large balloon, the "Wiudswept, at
precisely $40 yesterday morning
from a vacant lot on Eighth street,
between g and II. The balloon has
a capacity of 1000 feet of gas, but
when the rise was made yesterday
morning she contained only about
1000 feet. The aeronaut took along
provisions and water which In a
case Of emergency would have last
ed him three days and nights, also
six bags of sand ballast, two heavy
blankets, and instruments for TAX
ing the temperature, elevation, etc
This trip, as he said to reporter,
on leaving, was not to travel over
any great space Of ground In GER
tain direction, but simply to test the
efficacy of the wings or oars that he
contends will eventually in some
way solve the problem of naviga-
ton. These wings are attached to
bamboo rods, and are made of small
bamboo, covered with common cot
ton cloth, and are 31x5 feet in size.
They are fastened to wire and
bamboo basket which is three feet
wide, four feet long and three feet
deep in regular outrigger oarlocks
by means Of strong twine. The
audience was composed of almost
every unemployed person in San
Diego, the house tops and other ele-
vations being liberalIy patronized
First, a young man was let up by
rope to establish the carrying capac-
tv. Woodward then stepped into
his frail-appearing Car aud said, LET
her go, gentlemen" The balloon
arose very slowly until it had at
iained a height of about 2G00 feet,
and for 10 or II minutes appeared t. |
stand almost stationary. Up to this
time Woodward had not touched |
The wings. Ali at once they were
Strengthened out laterally. then per-
lowered as far as they
would go, and with quick turn to
lateral position forced quickly un,
hus catching the air and percepu-
bly, causing the balloon to nioyc
downward. The movements wera
until the airship had de-
cended several hundred feet. The
'eronaut now began experimenting
IN the proposition to force the bal
DON upward. 1t required only
ew reverse moves TO change the
direction, and he was soon back to
he original altitude. The wings
we're now allowed to rest. At 10
'clock he was just over National
Gty, and at IL o'clock DR.. Powers,
It the quarantine station in Sweet
water valley, telephoned that "Phe
'alloon is above me about 5000 feet.
The man is waving his bat, aud ac-
asionally working some kind of
'addles." AT 1l:5O the balloon slow
y descended to clear ground with
ut scratch, about 100 feet in front
t the Bonita school house in Sweet
vater.

Thick and Glossy"

THE PRODUCTION Of an abundant
] growth Of hair, u sills-like texture
and of the original color, often results
from the use, by those who have become
bald or gray, Of Ayers Hair Vigor;
"I was rapidly becoming gray and
bald: but after using two or three
bottles Of Ayers Hair vigor my hair
grew thick and glossy and the origi-
nal color was restored."-M. Aldrich,
Canaan Centre, N. III.
"a trial of Ayers Hair vigor has con-
yinced me of its merits. Its use has
not only caused the hair Of my wife and
daughter to be abundant and glossy, but
it has given my rather stunted mus
tache a respectable length and appear
ance." - X. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.
81 have used Ayers Hair Vigor for
the past four or five years and find II
most satisfactory dressing for the. hair.
II is all that could desire, being harm

WHEAT IN HISTORY.
The bread Grain 40 All Ages ana In
All Chimes.

All Chimes
The Chinese cultivated wheat 2 700
years before the beginning OF the
Christian era; always considering 1t as
a gilt from heaven. Scientific agri-
culturists are OF the opinion that it
was widely known and cultivated by
prehistoric man. At the present time
1t is the principal bread corn OF tho
leading European nations and Is fast
snpplanting the use Of maize. OF In
dian corn. in the American states.
The Egyptians attributed it's origin
10 Isis. and the Greeks TO Ceres A
classic account OF the distribution OF
wheat over the prilneyal world shows
that Ceres. having taught her fayorite,
Triptolemus. the art OF agriculture
and the science OF breadmaking. gave
him her chariot celestial vehicle.
and that In II he travelled night and
day distributing this valuable bread
grain among all nations of the earth.
Ancient monuments show that the
cultivation OF wheat had been estab-
lished In Egypt before the invasion OF
the shepherds. There are numerous
varieties OF this useful grain. Colonel
lie Cauteur OF the Isle OF Jersey Gull
tivated 100 varieties on his estates at
one time and Darwin mentions d
French experimenter who had 322 dis
tinct sorts growing at one time. Vii :
morin-Andrieux ct Gle seed mer-
chants OF Paris have collected up
wards Of 700 different types OF wheat
or more than twice as many rs the
great Jersey experimenier.
Three small-grained varieties OF
common wheat were cultivated by the
lake-dwellers OF Switzerland. il was
also cnltiya ed by the people OF Italy
and Hungary in the time Of the Stone
Age and by the Egyptians as long
ago as 1853 years B. G.. this latter
fact being proved b. grain Of wheat
found imbedded In one OF the bricks
OF the pyramids 10 which the above
date has been assigned.
The existence OF names for wheat in
the most ancient languages confirms
the evidence OF Its great antiquity
and OF its cultivation in the more
temperate parts OF Europe Asia. and
Africa From the evidence addueed
from boianists OF high standing. il
seems highly improbable that wheat
has never been found growing per,
slstently ia wild state although il
hiss often been asserted by poets.
travellers and historians In the
Odyssey. for example we are told that
wheat formerly grew In Sicily withou
the aid OF man. Diodorus repeats the
tradition that Osiris found wheat and
barley growing promiscuously in Pal
estine but neither this nor other re
puted discoveries OF wheat growing
wild seem at all credible seeing tina
II does not appear TO be endowed witt
the power OF persistency. except I'M
der continued culture.
