Eiffel outdone-On Paper-by Windy
City Inventor.

CHICAGO, April "A Chicago man has
the Eiffel Tower. His name is O'Donnell.
The scheme has not been accepted by the
fair, but it is said that it will be built by
private enterprise on College avenue.
The aerostat, as Mr.. O'Donnell calls it,
is built in the shape of an old fashioned
sperm candle pointed at the end. 1t is
to be 300 feet long, so feet IN diameter,
and is to be supported by the buoyancy
of 800, OO9 feet of hydrogen gas. The
aerostat is to be built of a very light but
strong steel frame; this is divided into a
number of gastight compartments. The
whole is to be covered with oiled muslin.
The cabin, a handsome structure, built
of mahogany, which is to be suspended
from the aerostat, is to be 26 feet in di-
ameter, 80 feet high, divided into two
stories, thus giving 1000 feet OF floor
space.
In the two apartments there will be
seventy windows, or ports, through
pected to go up into this curious affair
may gaze down upon their less fortunate
brethren below. There will be a resJau-
rant on the lower floor of the cabin, with
music, flowers and an everyplaying fonn-
tain. On the floor above there Will be
many electrical devices and many other
things, the whole to be operated and illu-
minated by electricity transmitted from
the ground. The thing is kept stationary
by four cables.
Mr.. O'Donnell has provided for sort
of aerial cable railroad reaching from the
earth, where it is operated by small
engine, to the bottom of the aerostat
above. Mr.. O'Donnell has provided a
number of little aerostats, which are at,
tached to the cable railroad by means OF
hooks. AS one set of little aerostats are
going up crowded with people similar
set OF empty aerostats are coming down

CITY OF DEERINe.
Two Houses burned Yesterday on the
Brighton Road


There was considerable excitement
yesterday at Woodfords over an alarm OF
fire that was rung in about II a. m. The
cause was a fire which had started IN
the house on Brighton street near the
old town house, occupied by Wllliam
Sanborn, who used portion of the house
for a meat market. This house was soon
all atiame, and the high wind blowing at
the time carried the sparks to the hiram
Dow house, which was about 100 yards
east. The Dow house was soon in flames
also, and beyond saving. The fire de-
partment arrived too late to do anything
effective in saving the buildings. There
was, moreover, a scarcity of water, the
wells in the vicinity affording scanty
supply. Finally a hose was laid across
the fields from the hydrant at he head
of Prospect street, and this served in
wetting down some buildings near by
that were threatened. Both houses were
totally burned. That oc upied by San
born was owned by the Newcomb estate
and with the stable was worth probably
about $500. The old Dow house, which
was occupied by some Italians who are
at work near by, was owned by Mr.. Sum-
ner Libby, and was worth about 5000.

Alice Alberta Norton.

The shadow of a deep sorrow has fall
en- upon the community of New Casco,

prime of womanhood.

motherless little children are left in this
broken home circle, which can never

the community it has been these many
years past. The sympathy of the COM

this afflicted household.
Last Sunday afternoon the mortal

her pleasant grave in the Falmouth Fore
side cemetery after an impressive funeral
service conducted by Rev. A. II. Wright
of the st. Lawrence street church of this
city, and Rev. Mr.. Ford of the Method
list church of New Casco. 1t was Easter
day, and the bright hope of Immortality
illumined the gloom of the newly made
grave, in which was tenderly laid the
cherished form of this devoted wife and
mother, whose spirit had already fled
beyond the earth to the God who gave
it. w.
