his life This is far from the truth. He
has not started on this journey without
making a careful study Of the chances Of
success. He has made the subject Of air
currents a study for years, and he could
tell you the different currents in the upper
region as easily as a navigator could de-
scribe the ocean currents. He would tell
you that the atmosphere surrounding the

would remain at the uniform hight of 200
meters, or about 100 feet above the

that at this hight he would meet

Three negroes were arrested yesterday
by Chief of Police McDermott while said
to be attempting to enter a house on the
Louisville road. Their names are Ed
Harris, aged p years, and Amos Fan
nings, aged % years. Both claim their
homes are in Baltimore
The chief was out in that section of the
city in search of Pomp Johnson, the negro
who is wanted on the charge of being i'm
plicated in the death of Minerva Johnson.
His attention was not beng directed to
anything else than TO find the man for
whom he was in search. However, in
passing the house OF the negro Bradley,
which, it will be remembered, was re-
Gently burglarized, the chief caught sight
of three men at the rear door, evidently

Without hestating Chief McDermott
jumped from his buggy and went for the
negroes. He succeeded in capturing TWO
of them. The third ran as soon as the
chief entered the yard.
The two who were captured were asked
what they were doing in the yard. They
replied that they were there to visit their
aunt They told the chief that their aunts
name was Davis. About this time the
owner of the house came up, and the
chief asked if there was any one named
Davis who lived in that house. The land
lord replied that there was not. At this
the chief took the men to the barracks and
locked them up on the charge of being
suspicious characters. They will have a
trial before the recorder this morning on
the charge of attempted burglary.

Close Game at Indoor Ball at the Y
NJ. C. A. "Gym,"

The game of indoor base ball at the
Young Mems Christian Association last
night was close and exciting one. The
orioles put up a good game, and in the
ninth inning when they tied the score the
audience went wild with excitement But
when the Indians came to the bat for their
half of the inning 1t did not take them
long to make the winning run.
The best playing of the game was by
Johnnie Elton, who accepted nine chances
without an error, besides batting well.
The score was as follows:
