G. A. r. TICKETS
Decision That is of Interest TO a
Good Many People
just Now.

Washington, Oct. IA decision OF
sweeping Importance to ticket scalpers
and the railroad passenger business
generally was delivered yesterday by
Justice Hagner, of the equity court of
the District of Columbia. who perma-
nently enjoined thirty-three of the To-
cal ticket brokers from selling the
Grand Army special excursion tickets
issued by the Pennsylvania. Southern.
Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake
and Ohio railroads. The court held
that the tickets sold by the roads on
account of the Grand Army encamp-
ment bore contracts signed by the pur-
chaserS in the presence of Il witness
and were absolutely void when used
by any other than the original pur-
chaSers.
The tickets. distinctly read that any
one except the original purchasers at
tempting to use them would be sub
ject to prosecution for forgery. The
contract signed by the original pur-
chaser is absolute, according to the
court, and any violation of it cOnsti-
tuted fraud on which the suit at bar
for the injunction properly was based.

HIS WIFE SAW HIM DEPART
On the Voyage from Which So Many Have
Returned Dead


The principle of the De Bradsky
airship had been warmly discussed and
its ascent was awaited with the keen
est interest. \ number of aeronauts,
friends of De Bradsky, and the latter's
wife, were present at the start. His
wife. though anxious that her husband
should demonstrate the success of his
invention. witnessed his departure with
considerable emotion De Bradsky first
tried the ascensional screw situated be-
low the car, and the airship, held by
ropes. rose easily and maintained its
equilibrium. De Bradsky was salts
fled and said he would maneuver over
the drilling ground.
y whistle was blown and released
the ropes, the propelling screw behind
was set in the proper direction, when
suddenly n southwest wind sprang up
and the airship swerved to the north
west instead of to thenortheast Cross
ing the main boulevardS the aerial
craft executed number of evOlutionS,
but continued northward with the
wind, eventually disappearing over the
great white basilica of the Church of
the Sacred Heart and the top of the
hill of Mount NIatre. The aeronaut's
wife and their friends waited at the
shed from till 10, and grew anxious
at his prolonged absence.
When the balloon was perceived at
an immense height this increased the
anxiety, as it was known the airship
was never intended to rise to such a
point. 1t was, however, merely the
inflated envelope which drifted back
across Paris after the accident had
relieved it of the weight of the ear. A
few minutes latter a telegram arrived
with the news of the disaster. De
Bradsky was a Hungarian baron. SO

been in the diplomatic service. He
