Gilbert felt the need of them.

that martial law prevails there al

has been issued. 1t probably grows

man, as he arose to speak on behalf
of the army of the Tennessee. Rev

ute to the record of that army and the
memory of the men who made its name

ken and cheered Driver McHenry lus-
tily as he went under the wire. Dan

CRUISE IN CLOUDLAND.
An Airship Sailed Over San Fran
cisco For Two Hours.
The Balloon Is Ciear-Shaped With a
Capacity of $4,000 Feet of Gas,
With Lifting Capacity Of
1900 to 1000 Pounds.

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Dr. August
Greth, who for year past has been
unostentatiously working on an air.
ship, Sunday surprised the residents Of
San Francisco by sailing over their
heads for two hours, directing his ma
chine almost at will and demonstrate
ing that in many essentials he has
solved the problem of aerial naviga-
ton. DIR. Greth had previously tested
his airship by making ascensiOns with
the balloon held captive by a long
rope, but Sunday was the first time
that he had gone slIyward free. The
ascension was made from lot almost
in the heart of tae city, and DR.. Greth
attempted to encircle a towering news
paper building about a mile eastward,
but found the high currents too strong
for his power and then turned in N
opposite direction. The winds car
ried him Oceanward and for time he
lowered over the vicinity of the Golden
Gate, making various successful trials
of his steering gear.
The currents threatened to take
him out over tle Pacific, and he decid-
ed to make a landing on the parade
grounds of the Preside military res
ervation, but made the mistake of let
ting out too much gas and he landed
in the bay about 200 feet from shore.
The crew of the life saving station
rescued the aerCnaut and his flying
machine, which was little damaged by
the unfortunate termination of the
voyage. Tne balloon of Greth is cigar
shaped and has a capacity of $4,000
feet of gas with a lifting capacity Of
800 to 1000 pounds. The car is SIM
liar in construction to that used by
Santos Dumont, and weighs about 500
pounds.
The engine is 12-horse power gaso-
line motor and the total weight car
ried skyward including that of the in
ventor and go pounds of ballast, was
about 1,400 pounds. For some mex
plicable reason the motor would not
develop more tnan six horse and DR..
Greth found considerable difficulty in
making head way against tAe current.
He expects to make another ascen-
sion in a few days when he will have
repaired the minor damage caused by
the salt water bath and remedied the
minor defects brought out by his two
hours cruise in cloudland.

JURY FAILED TO AGREE.
No Verdict in the MiIer-Johns Cen
spiracy Case.

Cincinnati Oct 19.-At 11:45 Sat.
urday night t1e jury in the Miller
Johns alleged bribery trial reported
that no agreement could be reached
and was discharged by Judge Thomp-
son. The case went to the Jury short
ly after o'clock in the afternoon.
The long wait for the verdict was de-
clared by the accused men and their
friends to be the most trying part OF
the ordeal to them.
The report was that the jury stood
seven to five for conviction. One point
on which they disagreed was as to
whether there had been proof enough
to show that Miller was in the conspir'
acy by sharing in the money that was
derived from the transaction with
Ryan.
The government officers were con
siderably disappointed at the result.

A CONFEDERATION.
Ten Business Blocks Burned and Four
Lives Lost at Aberdeen, Wash.

Aberdeen, Wash, Oct 17.-Fire that
burned from Friday morning until 2
o'clock Friday afternoon caused four
deaths and destroyed property valued
at approximately one million dollars.
It. practically wiped out the main bust
ness street of this town. Forty bust
ness houses, including both Of the
bank buildings, the Pacific hotel and
the Crescent hotel, two Grays Harbor
hospitals and many residences were
destroyed.
The fire started in the rear or the
Mack building, occupied as lodging
house, though its cause is not known.
The wind carried it across the larger
part of the business section and among
the residences. The town is composed
almost entirely of wooden structures
and nothing impeded the passage of
the flames.
The loss is probably one million dol
lars No more than one-half of the
loss is covered by insurance, for the
reason that the insurance companies
have refused to carry any greater risk
on account of the infiammable mate
rial of which practically all the build
ings in Aberdeen are constructed.
Every business man in the city is a
loser either by fire. water, breakage,
removal or loss by theft.
In order to stop the further progress
of the flames dynamite was used on
several of the buildings which the
flames were advancing. Telephone
messages brought the fire department
If Hoquian and Montesano to the
scene and they did effective work.
When tae fire had reached the Pull
man saloon seGeral men were hurt by
