ATHENS, June 3.-Although the
armistice has been signed in the
Epirus and Thessaly, a special clause
stipulates that meeting of the Greek
and Turkish delegates shall be held to-
day to settle the details of the armis-
tice on the sea. If there should be
failure to agree in this matter, the
whole convention will be void.
The Turkish delegates demand that
all vessels under the Turkish or any
neutral flag shall be freely admitted
to Greek ports, thus practically raising
the blockade, and that on the coast of
Macedonia and Epirus the Greek fleet
shall be withdrawn beyond the range
of the guns on Turkeys undertaking
that neither troops nor contraband of
war will be landed. The Greek Gov
eminent objects to be deprived of the
object of search. In Difference to the
advice of the Powers, however, the
Cabinet will probably yield.
The armistice is to continue until the
conclusion of the peace negotiations.
THERE'S a rumor that the Government
is inclined to offer the fleet instead Of
an indemnity on the ground that it
would be impossible for Greece to wage
another war for at least ten years. and

DALLAS (Tex), June "a severe
wind and rainstorm prevailed to-day
throughout a good portion of Northern
Texas. The wheat and oat crops are

RIOT At URBANA, OHIO.
An Attempt to Lynch rlan Results
in Bioodshed.

URBANA. (O), June 4-Quick action
was taken last night in the case of
'Click" Mitchell the negro who as
saulted Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, and threat
ened lynching has been averted. The
Grand Jury returned an Indictment
against the negro this afternoon. To-
night, while crowd of angry men
swarmed about the Courthouse and
jail, the negro, who had been dressed
in a soldiers uniform, was marched
up to the courtroom in the middle of a

ed perfectly, and the crowd did not rec
ognize the prisoner.
Mitchell, who had become thoroughly
scared, waived all preliminaries in the
court. He pleaded guilty. and was
speedily sentenced to twenty years in
the penitentiary, the extreme limit for
his crime.
After Mitchell was sentenced by the
court and the Sheriff ordered to take
him to Columbus tonight there was
trouble again. 1t was thought that
the officers might again get Mitchell
through the crowd disguised as SOL
der, but their plans became known,
and carriage was driven up to the
jail. Then the mob broke in and de-
manded the prisoner. The jail was
strongly guarded by the militia, and
the Sheriff felt safe so long as he did
not venture out. The Governor refused
to send more troops TO Urbana tonight,
and it looks like the prisoner cannot be
removed until tomorrow, when rein
forcements will be furnished.

ANDREE'S BALLOON.
Will Soon be Ready Again for Its Voyage
Across the Polar Basin.
Starting in Spitzbergen, 1t Will Prob
ably Land in Siberia or Brit
ish America.

| Another balloon trip to the North Pole!
Nj. Andree, in no wise disheartened by
the ill-success of his first essay last
year, will soon try again to traverse the
basin of the North Pole, starting at
Spitzbergen
M. Andree, as we known, is a Swedish
aeronaut, who in his official capacity is
the Director of the Patent Office at
Stockholm. The idea of crossing the
pole in a balloon, however, is of French
origin. 1t was first conceived by the
lamented Sivel. who in 1873 laid his
project before the French Society Of
Aerial Navigation. But M. Sivel lost
his life soon afterward in the accident
of the balloon Zenith. The project lay
in allegiance until 1890, when it was ia
ken up again by two Parisians-Her-
mite and Besancon-who submitted
plan that was carefully and scientifi-
cally thought out to the minutest de-
tail.
Let us hastily run over the plan of
these gentlemen and see wherein it CO.
incides with and wherein it differs from
the proposition of M. Andree.
The most difficult problem to face in
attempting with any chance of sue
CtfoS IL IIdNSiSG 50 SIcdl ill dIed DIS
the polar basin, consists in preventing
all variations in the hight of the bal
loon, as such varia ton is inevitably at
tended with a loss of gas. The only
known method of accomplishing this
with reasonable security is by the guide
rope, invented by the French aeronaut
Green in 1850
GUIDE ROPE.
The theory of the guide rope is SIM
plicity itself. 1t is long trailing rope
one end of which is attached to the
car. When the balloon, from whatever
reason, loses its ascending force, some
portion of the rope rests on the earth
and acts to that extent as unballast-
ing, thus preventing the balloon from
falling too low. On the other hand, if
the gas dilates and too lofty an ascent
is threatened, the balloon lifts up
enough rope to act as additional ball
last, and thus to resist the ascensional
impulse.
To counterfeit the influence of the va
riations in the temperature and the
density of the atmosphere, the gas, ac-
cording to the Hermite- Besancon plan,
must be maintained constantly under
pressure. An inside air pocket will ac-
complish this. If the gas dilates, it ex-
pels the air contained in this pocket
If it contracts a ventilator sends the air
under pressure into the pocket and
maintains the rotundity of the sphere
With the aid of sufficient guide
rope and an air pocket, a balloon will
be enabled to maintain itself in the air
so long as it has any ascensional force.
But this force is subject to gradual
diminution by the inevitable loss of
gas through the envelope, or what is
scientifically known as endosmosis.
Therefore the length of time in which
the balloon will be able to remain in the
air may be determined with a fair de-
gree of accuracy by the amount of bal
last carried from the start. which must

mob advanced on the jail. The Penn
sylvania depot was surrounded by a
mob, as we'll as the Courthouse and
the Jail. The troops will not allow the
lines to be crossed.
LATER PARTICULARS
June 4E3 a. m.-For two hours the jail
was surrounded by a bowling mob of
at least 1000 to 1000 people Advances
We're being made so close to the guards
that they st last opened fire on the
crowd and at least twenty shots were
fired. The crowd was bowling for the
prisoner, and more determined than
ever to secure him. 1t had crowded into
the jail yard, and was crowding toward
the jail. Captain George w. Leonard,
in command of the militia, addressed
the crowd and gave them three min
utes to dispense. There was a general
rush from the Jail yard, but the crowd
again returned.
The noise had subsidized, the demon
stration was less pronounced, and fully
half an hour had elapsed from the
time the order was given when the
roar of the musketry was heard. Volley
after volley was fired until as many as
twenty shots had been fired into the
crowds. There was a general panic for
a while, and the dead and wounded

The volley resulted in Harry Bell of
this city being shot through the head
and killed instantly. A young man
named Hagins was shot through the
body and killed instantly; Dennis Ora
ney of Urbana, shot in foot; DR.. Chas.
Thompson of North LeWisburg, shot
slightly in the forehead; Wesley Bowen

city, shot in shoulder; Ray Mcclure of
.Urbana, shot through the right arm;
Gus Weiser, who was standing on the
street, received a slight wound in the
face, and John Wank was shot in the
foot
When the shooting occurred a crowd
of thousand people stood about the
Jail. 1t had been rumored that an at
tempt would be made on the jail and
hang Mitchell. The crowd was more
boisterous than at any time since the
prisoner had been confined in the jail
The shooting occurred at 2:30 a. m.
Trouble had been looked for during
the night, and it was feared that the
militia would go too far and fire into
the crowd. The affair has embittered
the feeling to intensity. The streets
are crowded and the most intense ex-
element prevails. Now that the peo-
Pile have seen their neighbors shot down
the feeling is getting intense. The peo-
pie are wonderfully worked up, and
there may be more trouble.
Another victim of the shooting has
just been reported, Ralph McCobb of
this city, who was shot in the arm.

the travellers would have to confine

just below the bearing ring.

were to complete the equipment The
sails were to be attached to bamboo
spars lying across the bearing ring, and
beneath the balloon proper the sails
We're to be suspended by straps from the
top of the balloon, the straps being held

| In the ordinary way the sails would
only help to carry the balloon directly
before the wind. But if the guide rope
were moved point or two to the right
or the left on the bearing ring the sails,
| instead of being directly before the
wind, would be brought to a slight angle
to it, and the action of the rope drag
ging behind would keep them there,
with the result that the airship, in place
of going directly before the wind. would
move in direction at a certain angle
| from it.
THE BALLOON IS BUILT.
The balloon was built according to
these specifications in Paris by Lacham-
bre. On May 10th and 10Th of last wear
it was exhibited to the public in the
Champs du Mars, and was then folded
up and forwarded to Dankskee, in Spitz-
bergen On the 22d of July it was in
f1ated with gas, and on the 9th was an
nounced as ready for launching.
For sixty days Andree, with his pro-
posed compaions in the polar voyage,
Eckholm and Strindberg, waited for a
favorable breeze. Unfortunately the
breeze broke all its former records and
refused to arrive. Winter came on, and
the project had to be abandoned for the
year 1897.
Eckholm withdrew from the enter
prise. He had all along contended that
balloon of this size was insufficient for
the enterprise. Andree and Strindberg.
however, have never lost heart Their
financial hackers are equally confident
of eventual success Lachambre has
been employed in making some improve
ments on the polar apparatus. The bal
loon has been augmented in size. and it's
capacity is now increased to 1900 me-
ters by the addition Of an equatorial
zone. The envelope has been entirely
revarnished, and new scientific instru-
ments have been purchased. Early in
May the courageous explorers will be
back again at their quarters in Spitz-
bergen, eagerly awaiting the advent of
a favorable wind.
1t is not probable that repetition of
last years fiasco will occur. The polar
winds are usually as regular as the At
lantic trade winds. An unprecedented
irregularity such as occurred in 1896 is
unlikely to have immediate successors.
The only questions are as to the length
of time the journey will take and the
place where the balloon will ultimately
land
Andree estimates that under the most
favorable auspices the balloon may be
able to travel from twelve to fifteen
miles an hour. At this rate he could
reach the pole in six days-New York

Is it Just?
From New York Journal.

NElAO FLOUT the de-
NMdSN partment store, and
MsAA make for it a target
SAN for poisoned shafts,
W may prove to some a
@ pleasurab1e task and even
a profitable occupation.
Bot is it just? Is it virile ?
On the same hypothesis the
general store, which is to the
country town what the de-
partment store is to the larger
city, must be condemned and
revi1ed, and for what ? Be
cause it aims to become a
universal provider? Or be-
cause it is fully alive and
abreast Of the times? AS one
of our exchanges truly says:
+" The farmer who has to
drive in a long distance does
not always want to run from
store to store, but prefers to
make all his purchases OF one
merchant, thus avoiding a
duplication Of accounts as well
as a loss of time. The coun-
try store will exist and flour
ish as long as farmers con-
tinue the pursuits Of agricult-
ure." And 1t might have added
that department stores will go
on and multiply so long as
purchasers in cities approve OF
and encourage the system.
Each new branch that is
added to the department store
is the natural outcome OF a
popular demand. And be-
cause department stores seek
to satisfy that demand, is no
reason why they should be
subjected to censure or abuse.
