SETBACK FOR LITT.AUER.
Order AbOIlShing Post once Kept by an
Anti.l.ittauer Man Is Revoked.

Tort PLAIN. n. Y, Sept. 28.-There ia
great rejoicing in Nelliston. opposite this
village, this evening. over the fact that the
order to abolish that villages post Office
on oct. has been rescinded, word to that
effect having been received by Postmaster
Davendorf Of this village to-day.
Four weeks ago Davendorf was ordered
by the Depart ment at Washington to take
charge Of the Government property at
Nelliston on Oct. and to serve that village
through the Fort Plain free delivery system.
When he order was made public there
was a great cry of protest from all Nelliston
The village has 900 inhabitants and natur-
ally considered that II was entitled TO a
post Office.
Immediately the cry of politics went
forth Nelston's postmaster had been
alleged that the adjustment order was
the Congressman way of getting even.
and at the same time beneftting the Fort
Plain postmaster, one of Littauers stanch-
est supporters
BY abolishing the Nelliston Office and
serving the village from here, the business
of the Fort Plain office would be materially
increased, and that would mean an increase
of salary for Davendorf,
The resembling Of the original order
is cons d~r d a great victory for the fol-
lowers Of Littalers chief enemy in this
Congress dis trict. Jacob Smell Of Fonda
and tho Smell men and in fact all the people
of Nnllit ton are wildly celebrating tonight
Cheering and blowing can be heard
for miles.

PRIVATE BALLOONS.
Sir Vincent harrington Tells Of Their Use
by the British Aero Club.

From the Boston Ercning Transcript.
Sir Vincent Kenneth Harrington. the rnthu-
siastlc amateur arronaut. says that England IL
far from being the best country in the world
for balooning by amateurs. for the reason
that with water all around IL there is little
opportunity for aerial flights in certain winds
without being blown out to sea. Whenever
the aerial a,igators find themselves making
toward the mouth Of the Thames after rising
over London, they descend again ns soon as
possible, know ing that otherwise they will soon
be over the water. IL is possible, however,
to cross the English Channel in balloon
In fair northwest wind and the trip has been
made by several Of the British amateurs.
They have their aeronauts, however. much rs
the automOblists have their chaufeurs.
Balloons such as those used by the Eng
lishmen coast about $3.50. are made OF silk
and are good for about two years. although
they will sometimes last with care, for
three or four years. Sir Vincent remarked
In his conversation on the subject that he
much preferred TO make an ascension in Il
two year old balloon than in one which
was more than three years old. The silk il
very delicate in texture. and the club EN-
ployees dry and repair a balloon very care
fully after each ascension. Sir Vincent says
that it Is great strain OH n balloon to navi-
gate against the wind. and that in the same
way there IL mere strain on captive balloon
than on one which rises free He himself
regards an ascent IN Il captive balloon fully
ms dangerous AZ TO 20 up In a free one. The
danger comes largely from possible rending
OF the fabric. The best balloons are now
mads in sections. just as ships are made less
liable to sink by being constructed In COM
partments.

Sir Vincent does not regard the ascent In an
ordinary balloon as very dangerous. although
he admits that sky voyage in an ;irship
is . good deal OF a hazard. In ordinary
ballooning he snys the principal thing tS t.; be

anything to say on the subject. Advices
from I4akevila indicated that Mr.. Jerome
also was non-committal when asked as to
his communications uring the day with
Mr.. Nixon.
1t was learned, however, that Mr. Jerome
will probably have several meetings with
Mr.. Nixon in this city within the next few

Mr.. Nixon OF Mr.. Jerome seemed to have
any definite idea Of what they were up to
except that Mr.. Jerome in commenting on
the story that he and Mr.. Nixon had made
a compact to reform Tammany Hall from
the inside or the outside, has said to his
friends;
Nothing can be said to be altogether
untrue which indicates my Willingness
and eagerness to help Mr.. Nixon or any
body else to make the Democratic party in
New York city party which its members
are not ashamed of
