LATEST IN AIRSHIPS.
Frisco Man Has One That VIII Alight
Safely as Well as Fly.

San Francisco, March 24.-Charles
Stanley has invented an airship which
he thinks is a winner.
The Stanley airship has been patent
ed, and so it has become a new inven-
ton, and then airship ideas are all in
teresting. This one consists of the ia
miliar aluminium cylinder filled with
gas and driven with propellers, and the
inventor depends on his new devices for
its success.
The upper four-fifths of the alumni
mum cylinder consists of compartments
to be filled with gas, and the rest af-
fordS a sort of basement for machin-
cry, freight and passengers. Mr.. Stan
ley figures out that with a cylinder, the
main part of which is 100 feet long and
40 feet in diameter, he will have
weight of ship and machinery of 5000
pounds and buoyancy of 5000 pounds,
leaving margin of nearly ton for
passengers, baggage and freight
The whole device is rather simple,
and Mr.. Stanley says that he is so sure
that it will work that if he had the
money he would put every cent into a
big one without wasting any of it on
experimental models. The details of
providing state rooms and for passen-
gers, etc, will come later
L estimate that this ship will go to
New York in thirty-siX hours said
Mr.. Stanley yesterday. There would
possibly be two or three stops the
way, with vacant lots fixed up for
landing, though they needn't be large,
and two men would be enough at the
depot grounds. We would right away
get the contract for carrying the United
States mails, and with the saving in
time, rich people would pay more than
they would on the cars. Our operating
expenses would be next to nothing.
For safety, 1 would rather ride on that
airship than on a motor car"
Mr.. Stanley is building model one
foot long to work by clockwOrk- The
patent was secured February 6 by At
torney G. H. Hubbs, and the invention
is now among the airships of the pat
ent office

TOOK IN 500 VOLTS.
NOW Fred II. Whitaker Sues Two
Electric Companies for Damages.

Five thousand dollars damages is the
amount asked by Frederick H Whita-
ker from the Postal Telegraph Cable
company and the Topeka Street Rail-
way company in a petition filed in the
district court late yesterday afternoon
Auburndale, and at the time he re-
ceived the injuries for which he asks
damages was employed by the now de-
funct Harrison Telephone company as
telephone inspector.
In his petition Whitaker states that
on the morning of June 20, 1895, about 8
a. m, he climbed a pole on the north
street and Kansas avenue for the pur-
pose of inspecting telephone wires
When near the top of the pole in
reaching for an iron step, his hand
came in contact with a broken Postal
Telegraph wire which had fallen across
the trolley wire of the Topeka city rail-
way on Jackson street, and ne received
a full shock of 500 volts of electricity.
The shock completely paralyzed his
body and he dropped to the pavement,
a distance of 80 feet. He was picked
up unconscious and taken to his home
in Auburndale, where, he claims, he re-
manned unconscious for II days. For
and it was six weeks after the accident
before he was able to walk without
crutcheS.
Whitaker claims that the injuries re-
ceived have disabled him permanently
and that the accident was wholly the
result of negligence on the part of the
two defendants. He says the Postal
company was at fault for permitting its
wire to break and fall on a charged
trolley wire, and the Topeka Railway
company for failing to secure its troll
ley wire from broken electric wires.

BIBLE NOT INFALLIBLE.
Declaration Made by Rev. Minot
Savage at New York

New York March 24.-Rev. Minot ].
Savage occupied last evening the pull
pit of Robert COllyer'S church. the
Church of the Messiah. The auditor
ium was packed, even seats being plac-
ed in the aisles. The preachers theme
was Revelation, Natural and Progress
SiVe." He said there was no warrant
for declaring the Bible the exclusive
we have no inspired copy of the Bible.
While he would not assail the Bible, he
did asSail the position of those who ac-
cepted it as all true and infallible. But
some, he said, might hurl at him that
passage of Timothy: All scripture is
given by inspiration and is infallible, "
etc. That is an incorrect rendering, he
would reply. AS originally written it
was: Every scripture that is written
by inspiration is profitable"
Others, the preacher said, would re-
mind him Of the maledictions of the
writer of the last book upon any who
should add to or take away, etc. But
this only refers to this book not to
the whole Bible.
MI. Savage then went on to state that
since he had learned to regard the BIZ
BILE in the light of reason and not to ac-
cept it blindly and unrea SOnab bly, as he
had been brought up to do, he could
see and appreciate its beauties to a
much greater degree. He wondered
why it was that SO many theologians of
the present day persisted in declaring
for the infallibility of a book when
brief comparison of the several divis-
ions of it proves its inaccuracies. The
great word of God, the preacher said, is
still being written today, and will al
ways continue to be written.
In conclusion the preacher said that
some parts of the old testament We're
so grotesque and barbarous that schol-
ars were almost ashamed to argue
against them. 1t was the utterly base
less claim of ignorant men regarding
the book and not the book itself he
would proclaim against.

BLANTHER DIED.
The Doctors Failed to Save Him After
ALL

Houston, Tex, March 24-Joseph
Blanther, murderer of Mrs. Langfeldt,
will never answer at the bar of hui
man court. After three days of hard
work to prevent his attempt at self
destruction being successful, the ply
sicians were forced to give him up and
he died late last night in Meridian
Jail.
George A. Dodd of San Francisco, the
closest friend he had and the last per-
son who saw him after the murder, ar
rived shortly after the death of the
murderer and fully identified him as
Rlanther. From the time he was dis
covered last Saturday morning suffer-
ing from the effects of poison taken
with suicidal intent till his death he
was never conscious enough to speak
intelligently and he went to his death
without confession or repentance.

HE BEAT THE OLD FOLKS.
Rudolph Spreckels Wins a Victory
Over His Parents.

San Francisco, March 24.-RudoIph
Spreckels today won victory over his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Claus Spreckels,
confirming his ownership of property
worth $1,O00,000, which had been con-
veyed to him by his father. The SUI
preme court denied the appeal of Claus
and Anna Spreckels from the judgment
of the lower court, by which the right
TO property was vested in Rudolph.
The sugar king gave his property,
consisting of lands and sugar stock in
Hawaii, to Rudolph over three years
ago. Subsequently family troubles es-
tranged father and son and Claus de-
manded the return of his property,
which Rudolph refused to surrender.
Then a suit to recover it was begun on
the ground that the property was COM
munity and that Mrs. Spreckels had
not given her formal consent to it's
transfer to Rudolph. The supreme court
today oVerruled this contention.

OIL 1NsPEcToRsRIP.
The New Law Under Which DR..
Wharton Will Act

When DR.. E. S. Wharton assumes the
duties of state oil inspector he will be-
gin work under the authority of a new
law, the provisions of which will pre-
vent, if complied with, a recurrence
Of Coal Oil Taylor's record.
The law provides that the governor
shall appoint a state inspector who
shall not be in any way interested IN
the oil business and he or deputies shall
inspect all oils, and if they shall meet
the requirements he shall issue a GER
tificate and fix a brand, giving actual
test, upon the barrel or package in
which the oil is contained He is to
appoint deputies living near the place
where the inspections are to be made.
The inspector is to give $4,000 bond
and the deputies $4,000.
Fees for inspection are fixed at 40
cents for a single barrel 80 cents per
barrel for lots of from two to five bar
rels and 20 cents per barrel for lots
of from six to twenty-five barrels, and
Is cents per barrel for lots of from
twenty-six to fifty barrels, and 10 cents
per barrel for lots of over fifty barrels;
and when such oil is contained in Stor-
age tanks or packages other than bar
rels, fifty-five gallons shall be consid-
cred and counted as one barrel in the
settlement of the inspectors fees.
At the beginning of each month each
deputy is to make a statement of oil
inspected and fees collected to the
chief inspector and the latter is to make
a consolidated report to the auditor of
state.
The inspector is to receive a monthly
salary of $3.50 and actual travelling ex-
penses and each deputy SIS per month
and travelling expenses. Various pen
aItieS are provided, from 800 to 81, 900,
for violations of the law; for sale of
uninspected oil; for misrepresentation in
the sale of any oil and for an attempt
to make oil appear as having stood a
higher test than in the inspection.

CATTLE FOR EUROPE.
Shipping Cattle From Galveston is
Going on in Earnest

Galveston, March 24.-The much talk
ed of direct cattle trade between Gal
weston and Liverpool was inaugurated
today with the departure of the steam
ship Cuban, loaded with 500 animals.
The rate is slightly higher than from
New York, but it is claimed that there
will be less shrinkage in weight than is
involved in the transportation of cattle
by rail from Texas to New York city
and that consequently the cattle will
bring better prices.
The enterprise is promoted by Boston
capitalists, who believe that Galveston
can export 100000 cattle annually and
that there should be enough business in
cattle and dressed beef to maintain a
regular line of steamers between Gal
