\ FATAL FLNlNG MACHINE.
Fate of an English Inventor Who Us
saved Aerial Navigation,

\ serious accident attended the trial
on Saturday of a new flying machine"
in a field near Stanford hall, the seat of
Lord Brayc, near Market Marlborough
The contrivance Is the invention of MIR
Percy $. Pitcher. who has for a con
siderable time been making expert
mcntS with the object of devising such
a machine. A correspondent who was
present sends the following account of
the accident:
Mr.. Pitcher, a clever young in
Ventor (whose brother, Lieut.. Col.
Pitcher, is We'll known military Of
fcer), had given several years to the
study of flying machines, and had from
a personal acquaintance with Hiram
Maxim SO realized the difficulties to be
overcome, that he manufactured a ma
chine on the lines of that designed by
Herr Lilienthal, ms being, in his opin.
ion, the nearest to perfection The ma
chine, with which he had previously
made several successful asccnts. re-
scmbled a great eagle. The two wings
were covered by about 10 feet of sail
cloth, and the tail or rudder, with its
sails, was fixed about two feet from
the main body of the machine The
frame itself consisted of bamboo. with
innumerable wires like the ribs OF an
umbrella. The weather on Saturday was
the most unfavorahle for such trial.
Rain fell heavily up to D. M. and
gusty winds followed. The visitors
included number of country people
who took refuge under trees After
several Intellectual attempts to start. n
signal was given about 4:20, and Mr..
Pitcher rose slowly in the machine I'M
Ill he had travelled about $50 yards and
had risen to the height of about 80 or
GO feet. Then a sharp gust OF wind came
and the tail of the apparatus snapped.
Instantly the machine turned COM
plctely over and fell to the earth with
a terrible thud Mr.. Pitcher being un-
derneath the wreckage. His devoted
sister was the first TO reach the scene
of the accident. Adrian Verney-Cave,
EYerard Fielding and DR.. Stuart, all
friends and companions OF Mr.. Pitcher,
removed him from the machine, and
found that he was unconscious. Rails
ing his left leg it was discovered that
II was fractured above the knee. A
shutter was procured, and Lady Braye
sent orders to Stanford hall for blank
els and warm water to be got ready
Mr.. Pitcher was carried to his room in
the house, and Or. Stuart and Dr.
Nash carefully examined him, another
surgeon being summoned by telegraph
from Rugby Later on, as most of the
visitors ware returning to London, re-
assuring reports were given, but Mr..
Pitcher died before he regalned CON
sciousness. London Times

MOVEMENT ON FOOT

To Secure the Pardon of Bert Nc
COnnaughy, Who is Now Serving
Five Years Sentence for Bur-
gIary.
A movement is on foot to secure the
pardon Of Burt McConnaughy, con-
victed in the Criminal Court of bur-
glary and sentenced to serve five years
in the penitentiary. McConnaughy was
indicted along with Benjamin Fra
zier of robbing Gundling & Caren-
bauer's saloon on Main street, below
Tenth. After the trial in the Frazier
case the indictment was nollied and
Frazier was turned loose. The evil
dence in the hearing was that Frazier
was the ringleader and McConnaughy
the accomplice. The motion for new
trial by the defense was overruled and
the defendant sentenced. Attorney
Boyce is employed in the matter and
has every hope of securing an absolute
pardon for McConnaughy.

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has the
Field to Itself.

\
Field to Itself.
A prominent physician was re-
Gently asked why it was there are
SO many blood purifiers nerve
tonics' and medicines for every i'll
except one Of the most common
and annoying diseases, viz, piles.
He replied there are two princi-
pal reasons First, physicians and
people In general have thought
for years that the only permanent
cure for piles was surgical oper-
alton, and that medicinal prepare
tons were simply pallatives and
not cure for the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, un-
like many other diseases, is in no
sense an imaginary trouble. A suf-
ferer from piles is very much
aware of the fact, and for this
reason the few pile salves and
ointments, etc, have been short
lived because the patient very soon
discovered their worthlessness.
He continues: However, there is
new pile remedy which, judging
from it's popularity and extent of
its sale. will soon take the place
of all other treatment for piles. 1t
has certainly made thousands OF
cures in this obstinate disease and
its merit, repeatedly tested, has
made it famous among physicians
and wherever introduced. The rem
edy is sold by druggists every
where under name of Pyramid Pile
Cure.
1t is in convenient, suppository
form, composed of harmless astrin-
gents and healing oils, gives imme-
diate relief in all forms of piles
and radical cure without resort
to the knife and without pain or
interference with daily occupation.
One strong recommendation for
the remedy is that it contains no
cocaine nor opium, and is abso-
lutely safe to use at any time.
One of the suppositories is ap-
piled at night, is absorbed and the
cure is natural and painless.
1t permanently cures itching,
bleeding or protruding piles, and
is the only remedy except a dan
gerous surgical operation that will
do SO.
All druggists sell complete
treatment of the suppositories for
so cents, and the Pyramid Drug
Co., of Marshall Mich, will mail
free to any address a little book
Z on cause and cure Of piles which
may be Of assistance in chronic
cases.

VIII Go to the Jury To-Day-only
one More Argument to be Made.
FRANKFORT, KY, September "a
The argument to the jury in the case
of James Howard, charged with being
a principal in the killing Of William
Goebel, began this Afternoon and will
conclude tomorrow morning. Carlo
Little, for the defense, referred to Goe-
bel at all times as Governor Goebel'
In the most respectful manner, and
condemned his assassination vigor-
ously, but appealed to the jury not to
punish an innocent man. He said he
did not doubt the shot was fired from
the Secretary of States Office, but there
was no proof that Howard was in
there.
Colonel T. C. Campbell. for the pros
ecution, argued that Howard's de-
tense, an alibi, having been annihilated
by the evidence of the prosecution, was
equal to finding him guilty, as there
was also evidence that he had been
discovered running away from the
building Immediately after the shoot
ing. Congressman w. c. Owens closed
the case for the defense tonight, and
Judge Williams will conclude for the
prosecution tomorrow.

ADJUSTMENTS.
King Rastus.

Isham's new great production, king
Rastus," was presented at the Opera
House last night before the largest audi
ence of the present season. and the presen-
tation in, its entirety was a pronounced
hit. The audience was kept in an almost
continuous roar from the rise till the fall
of the curtain. king Rastus'' may be de-
scribed as an operate comedy, and is GER
tainly the most pretentious offering yet
given by a colored organization, the
scenic effects and costumes bearing COM
parison with many of the leading operate
organizations. The company which is a
large one, is composed of the best of art
lists, and is easily the best, individually or
collectively, that has ever visited Wheel
ing. The famous minstrel star. Billy Ker-
sards, as the king, received big recep-
ton and made a hit in his new line of
work. What can be safely termed the
best musical act seen here in a long time
was that presented by Mallory Bros, &
Brooks. The comedy work of Stewart and
Williams, old favorites here, kept the big
audience in a roar. Miss Eva La Rhue in
her splendid vocal selections, was a big
hit, as was Mrs. Tom Mcintosh, Ed. Har-
ris, Mrs. Billy Kersards and the Octoroon
quartette. king Rastus'' is we'll written
throughout. and proved a refreshing sur
prise. 1t will be seen again tonight for

difficult to select better play than
