MOST THRILLING ADVENTURE.
Aeronaut Eierman Picked up on Lake
Michigan.


st. Ignace, Mich, Sept. lotto Eier-
nan, who made a balloon ascension
from Schlitz park, Milwaukee, last Slln-
Cay afternoon, and who it was feared
was lost il Lake Michigan, arrived here
yesterday afternoon none the worse
for his thrilling experience and narrow
escape from death, but his balloon is
wreck in the waters of the lake.
He was discovered by the lookout on
the schooner Ellen Williams, Sunday
night, swimming in the water twenty
five miles from Milwaukee. He had on
life preserver, to which he owes his
safety. He was in the water ninety
minutes, and previous to dropping in
the lake he had left the car and clam
bered into the netting, and here he
hung on for life, he says, for thirty
minutes.
All this time the balloon was skim
ming over the face of the lake in a
heavy wind, like thistledOWn, and
every few seconds the car caught on a
wave and then he would be nearly dis
lodged from his precariOus holding pO-
sition. When nearly exhausted one of
these jerks tore him from his perch and
he fell A common cork life preserver
fastened about his chest kept him
afoat, and during the succeeding nine
ty minutes he battled with the waves
with death appearing as the inevitable
termination Of his thrilling voyage
Eierman passed the schooner Ellen
Williams, bound for Mackinaw, while
clinging to the balloon, and race at
once set in between the big gas bag
and the boat. The former being the
lighter Of the two it looked like a
hopeless contest for the aeronaut, and
when he fell from the rigging into the
water and was carried Oh by the
waves with no other support than his
life preserver, and with the vessel far
in his rear, no escape seemed possible.
Finally when nearly exhausted from
his exertions and faint from exposure |
the schooner overlook him.

STRIKE IS IMMINENT.
Wisconsin Central Men Fighting Re
duction in Wages at Ashland.

Ashland, Wis, Sept. IA strike
among the railroad employees Of the
Wisconsin Central at Ashland is immi-
nent. A genreal order was issued from
department headquarters reducing
wages 10 per cent.
The trainmen, engineers and firemen
have held several meetings, but at each
the reduction has been refused and a
strike spirit predominated. A grievance
committee has been appointed to go
to Chicago and endeavor to arblrate
matters with the head officials OF the
road.
One source of grievance is that the
cut dose not affect Northern Pacific
employees, who are virtually under the
same management If the strike is
ordered it will include switcnmen, en-
gineers. trainmen and firemen.

by a Milwaukee Court

Orsamus Cole has been appointed by
Judge Mann guardian ad Item for
David Ferguson Mitchell, the son of
Senator John L. Mitchell by his first
wife, in order to guard young Mitchells
interests as one of the legatees in
Alexander MitchelPS will. The order
was issued on the application of Sam
uel Howard, who represents Mrs. Mar
tina Mitchell. At the same time George
III. Moves, Senator Mitchell's attorney,
filed a demurrer to the petition of Mrs.
Martha Mitchell in which Mrs. Mitchell
demanded another trustee of the estate
of Alexander Mitchell in place of her
son. Mr.. NOyes asks for the dismis-
sal of the petition. The demurrer al
leges:
1. That the estate of Alexander
Mitchell has been fully settled.
2. That said county court in probate
has no jurisdiction of said estate.
3. That said court has no Jurisdiction
of the subject matter in said petition.
4. That said county court in probate
has no jurisdiction of said John L.
Mitchell.
5. That said petition does not state
sufficient facts to entitle the petitioner
to the relief prayed.
The guardian will undoubtedly bring
suit against the father of the ward,
Senator John L. Mitchell.
A peculiar feature of the case of
Mrs. Martha Mitchell against John L.
Mitchell, is the fact that George III.

pany bank, whose, interests are at
