AIRSHlP STORIES.
BORNE OUT BY RECENT ORDERS
PLACED IN PITTSBURG.
One Thousand Dollars Worth of
aluminium Ordered to Be Shipped
to the Pacific Aerial Navigation
Company.

Pittsburg, Dec. S0.-The Pittsburg Times
VIII say tomorrow: The actual existence
in California of company engaged in
the manufacture and successful operation
of airships is apparently borne out by an
order, accompanied by detailed specifica-
tons, given to a Pittsburg firm. The
Pittsburg Reduction company will ship
in few days 81, 600 worth of manufac-
tured aluminium to the Pacific Aerial
Navigation company at San Francisco,
to be used in the construction of air.
ships. The order was given about two
weeks ago. Aluminium, being a very
light metal, is especially adapted for use
in airships No description of the air
ship accompanied the order further than
such as related to the metal work. 1t is
probable. however, from the length of
the tubes, etc, that the whole machine
Will be about 80 feet long and will ac-
commodate several persons. 1t will be
built on the aeroplane system and will
have two wings is feet wide and be rud-
der-shaped like birds tail.

Provo, Dec. 30.-Considerable talk is
INDUCED in around Provo in relation
to the several petitions being circu-
lated-or, rather, hung up in saloons
and business houses-awaiting sigma
lures. asking the board of pardons to
give Harry Hayes an unconditional
pardon. Detective Franks of Salt
Lake is circulating and hanging up
these petitions. In one place the pro-
prietor refused to let the petition be
hung up until that part pertaining to
Hayes being convicted because a vic
tim was desired, was stricken out. 1t
has been expected that a commuta-
ton of the death sentence would be
asked for. but petition for a pardon
is a surprise to the people of Utah
county. The original petition reads as
follows:
ITO the Board of Pardons of the State
of Utah:
I'VE, the undersigned, residents of
the state of Utah, being generally &C
quainted with the facts in the case of
Harry Hayes, who has been sentenced
TO undergo the death penalty, hereby
respectfully petition your honorable
body to pardon the said Harry Hayes.
we base our application upon the
fact that said Harry Hayes was con-
yicted solely upon circumstantial evil
dence. We are of the opinion that he
was convicted more upon the theory
that the dreadful tragedy required a
victim, than upon evidence tending to |
connect said marry Hayes with the |
commission of the crime
I'VE believe that human life is too |
sacred to be offered up on suspicion,
and where there is a reasonable or any |
doubt whatsoever of guilt, the doomed |
man should be given the benefit of it.
We do not believe that Harry
Hayes has been proven guilty beyond |
a reasonable doubt and we, therefore,
ask fer pardon for him.

three men took sides with Green and

shots into the floor to brighten them

Seattle, Wash. Dec. 30.-What pun
ports to be great gold discovery has
been made on Mount Sic, two miles
from North Bend, this county, by ex-
County Commissioner w. II. Taylor of
Fall City. The find consists of a three
foot mineral vein, composed in part Of
a 14-inch ledge of white galena ore, as
saying 500 to the ton. While an effort
is being made to keep the find ql.iet.
much excitement has been aroused by
the report Fifty or more have fled

coveries appear much more valuable
from the fact that the Seattle & Inter
national railroad runs within less than
two miles of the mines, which are only
40 miles distant from Seattle.

Vanderbilt Contributes SIoo, 900 to

New York, Sept. 9.-The World Of
today says: There was no one around
Republican national headquarters
yesterday who would verify or deny
the report from Washington that
Cornelius Vanderbilt had subscribed

large contribution to Mr.. Hanna:

Depew, who brought the two together
at the Union League club, would say
what the amount was.
