ANOTHER WINGED BOAT.
A WEIGH Seaman Who Thinks He Has
Solved Aerial Navigation.

solved AerIaA N8SlkaIlOus
New York, March l3.-Johann Alfred
Jonasson, a seaman, about rs years old,
displayed behind barred doors in George
Hansen's boarding house, No. II Hamil-
ton street, yesterday, a flying machine
which he claims will solve the problem
OF aerial navigation. Jonasson got his
idea while bound on the British ship
Celtahaum from Cardiff, Wales, to Cape
Town, South Africa, when watching a
a flock of sea gulls. He had finished the
rough outlines of an aerial ship when
he reached England again. He made
an effort to launch his scheme there,
but was laughed at by all. He came to
this country eighteen months ago, but
discouraged by the ridicule heaped upon
him even by his own countrymen, he
finally shipped for the West Indies. Re-
turning last week he began work on his
model behind locked doors and labored
daily to complete his flying machine.
The model is shaped like boat and is
Ga feet long. The frame and top are
covered with canvas. In the top in
front of the seat of the navigator are
two skylights by which he can see. In
the bow there IS wheel with a shaft to
a stern and bow propeller. The opera
tor with the right hand revolves the
propellers, while with the left he works
a wheel which makes the wings move
like those of bird. The wings are to be
16 feet long, with rounded ends. The
rudder is made of canvas, is 10 feet long
and shaped like the tail of bird. 1t ia
8 feet wide at the outer end.
Jonasson says he will shortly make an
ascension from prominent place in
this city. Several captains have asked
him to use their ship decks for the pur-
pose. The inventor has great confidence
in his idea.

FIRED FROM AMBUSH.
Colorado Miners Avenge a Saloon Man.
Death.

PUEBLO, Colo, March IA special
from Walsenburg, a small town fiftv.
Six miles south of Pueblo, says: A mob
In ambush at 7:3O this evening fred on
a wagon containing nine Italians who
are charged with fatally beating A, J.
Hlxon, a saloon-keeper at Rouse, a
mining camp six miles from Walsen-
burg, Sunday last. Four of the Italians
and the wagon-driver were killed. The
prisoners who had been lodged in the
Walsenburg Jail were taken to the coro-
ner's inquest at Rouse this afternoon.
At the conclusion of the session the
prisoners were loaded into a wagon and
started back to Jail. At Bear creek. a
region where there is much under
brush, half mile from Walsenburg.
the crack of score of rifles, presumably
in the hands of miners, rang out. Four
OF the prisoners whose names cannot be
learned on account of the excitement.
were instantly killed. Joe Welbv. a
young American boy, was driving the
returned the fire. which lasted for sew
eral minutes. The most intense excite
ment reigns.
Walsenburg and Rouse are both off
the main line of the railroad, and at.
tempts to secure further details have
failed, because the telegraph offices are
not open at night.
The work OF the mob was done to
avenge a PECULIARLY brutal crime. At 7
O'Clock Monday morning two men en-
route to work at Rouse discovered A. J.
Hlxon, proprietor of a saloon, in a dy-
ing condition about an eighth of mile
from his place of business. Hixon had
been struck on the back of the head
with blunt weapon and was uncon-
scious. He expired within an hour.
Some days ago I. j. Brewer, pit boss
of the Rouse mine, imported trained
bloodhound, which was promptly sum-
moned. The animal rushed away on
the trail, and within ten minutes seized
a table leg in the rear of saloon half
mile distant. Upon examination blood
was found on this leg. The dog then
proceeded to the saloon door, and two
men, Lorenzo Danino and Jobatto An
tonic, were discovered therein, exhibit
ing considerable anxiety to get away.
Two more men, Pete Rosetta and Frank
Anrico, were arrested in a cabin near
by. Admissions of knowledge of the
murder were secured from two of them
on their arrest, and later they divulged
the names of seven others, who were
with them, and charged Lorenzo Danino
with the murder. Two of the parties
had started south. The officers were
quickly in the saddle, and all of them
were under arrest by P. NJ. Threats of
lynching Danino were INDUCED in dur
ing the day, and quite number of men
we're scattered along the route to Wal
senburg, but it was thought there was
scarcely possibility violence would be
attempted.
Hixon was rather popular with the
American miners, and general indigna-
ton prevails. He was an Arkansan,
late OF Texas, and was Sc or 80 years of
age. He was supposed to have returned
from Walsenburg on horseback about 10
p. NJ, and to have been attacked una
wares. The incentive of the murder is
a problem, as Hixon was not OF an
aggressive or quarrelsome disposition.

MEXICO THREATENED.
Another Ancient Volcano Reported In
Eruption.

Another Ancient Volcano Reported In
Eruption.
CORDOBA, State of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
March 12.-The peak of Orizaba, an an
cient volcano, is in state of eruption.
The signs OF disturbance began to mani
fest themselves last Sunday night, and
have increased in force constantly since.
The volcano is now vomiting poisonous
gases, and thick volumes of smoke are
emitted from hundred apertures in it's
wreat NAV. The earth for q hundred
miles around is shaken perceptibly with
subterranean vibrations. Great alarm
is manifested in the cities of Cordoba,
Orizaba, kalapa and the dozens of small
villages scattered within the scope of
the strange and interesting phenom-
enon. The shocks as yet have not been
OF a serious nature, and no damage from
them has been reported. The rim of
the crater glows like fire, and the thick
gases rolling down the mountain sides
have set afame the grass and vegetation
clothing the sides to the summit, which
adds to the density of the smoke and
the grandeur of the spectacle.
For the public safety the governor OF
the state will soon name commission
of sci entists to make all the investlga-
ton into the eruption possible, ana 70
make recommendations looking. to the
protection of inhabitants OF neighboring
villages. The present eruption is In the
heart of the best improved land in Mex
leo. The coffee plantations are not YET
thought to be in danger, nor will they
be unless heavy fall OF ashes occurs
which is not considered probable.
Masses are being said in all the churches
of the locality to ward off the impending
danger.

WHAT IT HAS DONE
The Work of the Late Dockery
Commission.
A SAVING TO THE GOVERNMENT

Actual Annual Reductions In Govern
ment Expenditures Over Half Mill
Ion Dollars. and Will Continue So
for a Number Of Years.
WASHINGTON, March IA review of
the work done by the Dockery joint COM
mission of congress, created for the pur-
pose of inquiring into and examining
the status of the law governing the ex-
ecutive departments, has been printed.
The greater number of the recommends
tons of the commission so far have been
put into practical operation, and have
been from time to time made public.
The review shows that the entire cost of
the commission aggregated Sal ,245, while
the actual annual reductions in govern
ment expenditures made as a result of
its work amount to s607 ,59l. The re-
view continues:
The reduction is not for the time be-
ing only, but will continue through each
OF the coming years. The mem bers of
the commission, however, feel that the
expedition of public business and added
security to the government in its meth
DDS of accounting under the new sys-
TENS inaugurated would have fully justi-
fled it's existence, even if there had been
no dlminution in expenses"
A census of the departments held at
the direction of the commission dis
closes the fact that in the executive gov
eminent and its establishments at the
national capital there are employed IT,
900 persons, and of this number II, 667
are employed in the eight executive de-
partments, and 5,637 by the department
of labor, the civil service commission
and the fish commission, which are
under the civil service law; 8,207 are of
the class subject to competitive exami-
nation preliminary to appointment, and
3,243 of them entered the service after
such examination, and of the whole
number employed 5, l65 have from one
to nine relatives each in the government
service at Washington.
The commission also reported q con-
current resolution, which provided for
the enrolling of congressional acts by
printing, which received the approval OF
both houses. The commission says its
value from the standpoint of both &C.
curacv and economy is illustrated by the
fact that not a single error has occurred
under the system up to this time. Much
space is given to a recital of the benefits
which the review asserts have been &C
complished as result of the commits
sion's work, and subsequently incorpor-
ated in bill approved by the president
July 81, 1894. The estimated annual
saving resulting from this reform is put
at $237 ,43O. The recommendations made
by the commission and not acted on re-
late among other things to the reorgani-
cation of the Office of supervising archi-
tcct, contested land cases, repeal of the
land contest act, transfer of duties of re-
ceivers OF land offices, public surveys,
abolition of the office of solicitor OF in
ternal revenue, bonds of government Of
hcials, checking of money orders, aboli-
ton OF naval officers at all ports and the
establishme of substitute therefor in
New York, and writing official letters.
These reforms, the commission esti..
mates, would effect an annual saving OF
$449, 929.

THE STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
AFTER TWO MONTHS 1DLENEss.
New Mining Continuance.

GoLDESDALE, WASH, March 12.-Al-
bert Baker, q young mechanic Of Gold
endale, has recently invented a placer
mining machine. 1t is built with wheels
within the tubular connection from the
wire sleeves to the quicksilver amalgam:
It REQUIRES about six miners inches of
water to run it to such an extent that 1t
will require the steady effort of three
good shovelers to supply the feedhead.
When the machine has been set In posi-
ton it has the appearance of an old-time
fan mill. Scores of eager spectators,
many old coast miners, within the past
week, have viewed the machine working
in the black sands on the Little Klickl-
tat, at point within stones throw OF
Goldendale.

The Oregon's Side ArlnOr Tested.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The navy
department has accepted 3l5 tons OF
Harveyized nickel steel armor, nearly
half of the side armor for the battleship
Oregon, made by the Carnegie Steel
Company, az the result of trial of an

The plate received two shots from r.
inch gun. The first was sent at veloc-
ity OF ,O46 feet per second and smashed
to pieces on the face of the plate, which
was scaled little at the point of con-
tact but was not cracked. The second
shot had velocity of 1926 feet. This
penetrated nine inches and then broke
up, but it cracked the plate from top to
bottom. The plate, however, was pro-
nounced to be of good quality.

The Unknown Kentucky Plague.

ASHLAND, KY, March 13.-Latest re-
ports from Floyd county, brought by q
local travelling salesman just returned,
are not at all encouraging for the early
suppression of the strange malady that
is raging in the Mud river country. 1t
has become so violent the physicians OF
the surrounding towns refuse to visit
the victims. The deathroll has exceeded
fifty already, and the disease is on the
increase. The disease, instead OF being
smallpox resembles cholera, except that
it chokes the victim to death, beginning
in the stomach and rising to the throat.
In almost every case it has been fatal,
the victims seldom living three days
after the attack.

LONDON. March 13.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Morning Post says that
M. Lockroy made vigorous attack IN
the chamber of deputies to-day upon
the administration of the French navy,
comparing the English and French
navies much to the detriment of the
French fleet. The chamber evidenced
it's distrust of the admiralty and its
sympathy with the speaker. The Post
correspondent says Lockroy made SEN
sation in parliamentary circles, and that
doubtless the government will be COM
PEELED to add to the naval programme,
owing to the feeling that Russia's friend
ship cannot be retained unless the COM
bined fleets be- equal to the English
