THE ATTORNEYS STORY.
People VINO Thought They Saw an Air
Ship Not Deceived.

Ship Not Deceived.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-The Chron-
icle prints a story which would indi-.
cate that the airship in practical form is
all established fact, According to the
story residents of Sacramento saw a
cigar-shaped flying machine pass over
that city Monday night and later the
airship was seen at Oakland. The
Chronicle then prints all interview
with George D. Collins. reputable at
torney of San Francisco and who claims
to be attorney for the inventor, in
which he says: s.@ =
'sThe reports from Sacramento the
other nj ght were true. It was my
clients airship that the people saw. It
started from Oroville and flew 60 miles in
straight line directly over Sacramento.
After running up and down once or
twice over the capital my friend came
right Oh a distance of another 70 miles
and landed at spot on the Oakland
side of the bay, where the machine
now lies, guarded by three men. The
inventor found during his trial trip
that his ship had a wavelike motion
That Made Him Seasick.
In another six days this trouble will be
done away with and it is then his in
tention to Immediately give the people
of San Francisco a chance to see his
machine. He will fly right over the
city and across Market street dozen
times. I cannot tell you any further
particulars than that the machine does
it's work perfectly and will astound the
world and revolutionize travel when it
has been displayed before the public.
The inventor can fly with it to New
| York tomorrow if he wants to. He has
forsaken the ideas of Maxim and Lang.
try entirely in building the machine
and has constructed it on an absolutely
new theory"
In spite of Mr.. Collins statement
there are many skeptics who say fatty
they do not believe the story. 1t is al
most Incredible that an airship $50 feet
long could be secreted in any building
near San Francisco without the fac
being made public.

CONVENTION POSTPONED,
The Carriage Builders Association
VIII Not Meet.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 2.-Announce.
ment was made on Saturday last under
a st. Louis date that there was a posi-
bility of a p-ostponement of the national
convention of carriage builders, which
was to AVE been held in that city dur
ing the second week of October. AS a
sequel to this announcement the follow.
ing statement has today been issued by
Henry c.. McLear Of this city, secretary
and treasurer of the Carriage Builders
National association:
THE executive committee, after full
consideration, with the consent of our
members and their local committee In
st. Louis, Mo, and at the request Of
many Of our members throughout the
country have postponed the convention
of this association, which had been
called for October 10, IA and 10 of this
year until 1897. Therefore there will be
why the committee has taken this ac-
ton, besides the requests of the mem
bers who nave always attended the con-
vention, many of whom have been an
nual exhibitors, are that the extreme
business depression, coupled with the
exciting national election, renders II
very doubtful If enough Of our mem
bers could or would attend the meeting
to make 1t successful; and in justice to
the city wherein the convention was to
be held, they considered 1t best TO post
'pone the meeting rather than run the
hisk of a failure"

IT WAS A TWlSTER,
The Tornado Is Supposed TO Have
Killed Many in Florida.

Pensacola. Fla. Oct. 2.-Railroad
middle part of the state has Just been
re-established and narrowing tales are
being received OF the West India storm
which swept over the peninsula Of Flor
ida Monday night INK Tuesday morn
ing.
1t appears that the storm left the gulf
and struck the coast about Cedar Keys,
which is said to be almost completely
wrecked. From there 1t swept in "A
northeasterly course. its diameter be-
ing about forty miles across the state,
doing fearful damage at the towns OF
Gainesville, High Springs, Newberry,
Lake City, Bronsford, Calihan n
many others. Brick and frame build
ings were blown down and near Gala
han several children were killed In a
school house, which was wrecked. The
wind is reported to have reached a We
locity of 100 miles an hour, and there
was widespread destruction In the path
Of the storm. 1t is impossible yet TO
learn how many persons were killed,
but it is believed the lead will be fully
100 and that many others were injured.
Much damage is reported at Jackson
Vile, out no loss of life, as the center OF
the storm seems to have passed to the
north of that city. The storm was not
felt here. but after it left the gulf Mon
day night a high bank of air rushed in
from the north, blowing almost a gale
and lowering the temperature about 20
degrees.
Later reports received show that the
storm was a twisting tornado that
moved with great velocity from the gulf
10 he Atlantic coast. In many places
buildings were wrecked in less than a
minute, and soon afterwards the sun
was shining brightly. The loss of prop
erty cannot now be estimated, but it is
very heavy, not only in the towns, but
81 the farms where the crops were de-
stroyed.

Six People Drowned.

Tucson. Ariz., Oct. "A special TO the
Star from Benson says: Part OF the
town was washed away n six persons
drowned in a flood from a cloudburst
In the MILESTONE mountains, twelve
miles southwest. The dead whose bod
les have been recovered are:
William Seeka, a barber, his wife and
two children.
Oscar Ashburn, a cattleman.
Four more persons are missing. 1t Is
expected great loss Of life and destruc-
ton of property will be reported from
all along the San Pedro river until it
empties into the ella. The details of the
disaster have not been received, but
the precipitation must have occurred
all along the whole length Of the Whet-
stone mountains, as the flood from the
western end of the same range tore out
three miles Of Southern Pacific track
twelve miles west of Benson. A wall OF
water at least twelve miles long was
poured into the San Pedro river, hence
there is apprehension felt for the safety
of persons in the valley.
