SUCCESSFUL AIRsHIP.
californian Sails Over City Of San
Francisco.

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Dr. August
Greth, who for a year past has been
working on an airship Sunday sur
prised the residents of San Francisco
by sailing over their heads for two
hours. directing his machine almost
at will, and demonstrating that in
many essentials he has solved the
question of aerial navigation DR..
Greth had previously tested his air
ship BY making ascensions with the
balloon held captive with long rope,
but this was the first time that he had
gone skyward free.
The ascension was made from a lot
almost in the heart of the city, and
Dr. Greth attempted to encircle tow
ering newspaper building about a mile
eastward, but found the high currents
too strong for his power, and then
turned in an opposite direction. The
winds carried him oceanward and for
time he lowered over the vicinity OF
the Golden Gate, making various sue
cessful trials of his steering gear. The
currents threatened to take him out
over the Pacific and he decided to
make landing on the parade grounds
of the Preside military reservation,
but made the mistake of letting out
too much gas and he landed in the bay
about 200 feet from shore.
The crew of the life-saving station
rescued the aeronaut and flying ma.
chine, which was little damaged by
the unfortunate termination of the
voyage. The balloon is cigar-shaped
and has capacity of $4,000 feet OF
gas with a lifting capacity of 1900 to
1000 pounds. The car is similar in
construction to that used by Santos
Dumont, and weight about 800 pounds

line motor. and the total weight car.
ried skyward, including that of the
inventor and 260 pounds of ballast

TWO CENTS
SQUIRRELS COME HIGH
Pittsburg Hunter Had to Pay
S48 for Twelve and
Pheasant.

Spent Two Weeks at Bruceton-W Was
on the Boat en- Route Home When
NaDbed-Did not Know He Needed
Lieense-Fined on Two Charges
Wardrn viii Enforce Laws.
A Pittsbnrg hunter who had not
made study of the game laws of
West Virginia before coming to
thi State for his tall hunt was ar
rested Saturday on the charges of
limiting without license and ship
ping game out of the state. He was
taken before Squire Hayes and
shown to be guilty of both charges.
On the recommendation OF Deputy
Game Warden Bennett S. White,
the fine was made as light as posi-
BILE, $40 for the one offense and $25
for the other, with So costs tackled
on. The hunter had been out OF
port for some time and had very
little cash left. He left his watch
and gun as security.
The Pittsburg sportsman had
been over near Bruceton, for two
weeks aud in that time had succeed
ed in bagging twelve squirrels and
pheasant. All these had been
disposed of except the pheasant and
three squirrels, which he had boxed
up nicely and was taking back to
the Smoky City to show to his
friends and enjoy at his Sunday
dinner.
The presence OF the hunter and
his intended departure became
known to Deputy Warden White
and with Elmer Jacobs he went to
investigate. He found his man on
the boat, in his state room, ready to
sale. Mr.. Hunter protested stoutly
against being arrested claiming that
he was entirely ignorant Of any law
requiring license and promising to
be good in the future. He denied
of course that he had any game
with him, but the Warden made a
search with the result recorded
above
/ The Pitt5burg man is prominent
employee of one of the best known
( firms in that city and seems to be
mighty good feller." Itwas for this
reason that his name was not given
and the fine was made as light as
possible. He was invited by the
warden and Mr.. Jacobs to come
back next fall and take out a Ii
cense. They promise to make him
forget all about the $48 and his other
troubles too. Some one had to serve
an example, and he was the unlucky
man. Captain White expects to en-
force the game laws and the next
man caught will get heavier pen
atty.

Revenue Cutter Tuscarora to
Take Part in International
Fishing Dispute.
TO DETERMINE BOUNDARY LINE
Vessel Well Fitted With instruments
for the Work-careful Surveys to Be
Made-coIector at Cleveland Has
instructions from Washington.

Milwaukee, Oct. 49, - Milwaukee,
new revenue cutter will leave for
Cleveland today to take part in the
settlement of the international dispute
which has arisen between the United
States and Canada over the fishing in
Lake Erie. Orders to proceed at once
to that port and report to the collector
of customs there have been received
by Captain David A Hall, of the
Tuscarora.
Cleveland, Oct. 10. - Collector of
Customs Charles F. Leach said that
when the Tuscarora comes to this
port it will engage in determining the
boundary line both at Ashtabula and
Erie. where American fishermen have
been fired upon and their nets taken
up because of alleged encroachment
upon Canadian waters.
The need for the revenue CUTTER
trip to this vicinity is because she is
better fitted out with officers and in
struments to engage in such work and
the result will probably be of more
value to the treasury department than
if undertaken by amateurs from this
or another city along the lakes Col
lector Leach had been informed of the
revenue cutters coming and has Ne
ceived instructions from the secretary
of the treasury as to the conduct Of
the work. He expects the Tuscarora
here perhaps on Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning.
A careful survey will be made Of
the disputed points to avoid, if posi-
BILE, further disturbance of American
fishermen along this portion of Lake
Erin

SUNNI OppOSltlOH-Ac" othCct OpCu"
ed which They Want to Use.
The new bridge across Decker S
creek from Walnut street to Green
mont is nearly finished. The ravine
is spanned, and it now remains to
put down the girder andsshoor. This
has been more than halt completed.
The Union Utility has plan for
extending the street car line into
South Park, as soon as the bridge
is finished. They have enough ma
terial to lay about a half mile of
track and want to use it. Some OPP
position has been encountered, but
they hope to remove this and lay the
track this fall.
The original intention OF the com
pany was to turn to the left after
crossing the bridge, and going north
east to Kingwood street, thence west
and around to the car barn. To
lay the half mile of track mp King
wood street, to Euclid avenue, ls
impracticable on account OF two
steep grades encountered.
The proposition now is to extend
the line from the end of the bridge
up new street just laid out and not
yet open, parallel to Kingwood
street, across White avenue to Euclid
Avenue, thence south on Eaclid
Avenue to Grand street.
They propose in this manner to
place the cars within easy seach of
all of the residents of South Park.
A station will be provided at the
corner of Euclid Avenue and Grand
street. They will run car every
twenty or twenty five minutes.
In traversing the new street lot
belonging to J. W. Wiles will be en-
countered. 1t is understood that
Mr. Wiles will not oppose the new
line, and if other property owners
who are interested will consent, the
line will he built this fall.

NEW GAS CONTRACTS
Causing Trouble-Customers
Object to Signing.

Clause Relieving the Company from
Liability Statement from the Com.
pany-C0ntract are in Force Elise.
where Inspection being Made-Con-
sumers Can Burn Coal.
A good:deal of talk has been heard
lately in regard to the new gas con-
contracts which the Union Utility
company has been asking its custo
mers to sign. Some of them have
objected to signing the contracts on
account of a clause which relieves
the company from all liability for
damages from fire or explosion that
might result from the use of the gas.
A representative of this paper
called at the office of the company
to day and inquired into the matter.
II was stated that the contracts
which customers have been asked to
sign, and which have been sigeed,
are similar to those used by all
gas companies In other towns. 1t
was further stated that the contracts
should nave been used long before
this. Heretofore the company had
been lacing the names of the custo-
mers on the books, with the amount
of gas used, and allowing it TO rest
at that The company claims to ne
doing Just what it was it's privilege
TO do long ago.
It was stated also at headquarters
that the purpose of the present Wis
its of a representative of the COM
pany to the customers was largely
to make an inspection-to see that
the amount Of gas being used is not
moro than is being paid for. he is
taking the contracts with him, and
securing The signatures, with sthe
number of fires and similar data.
The alternate offered TO the con
sumner who will not sign the con
tract, is to burn coal or wood. It
was stated at the company's office
that no attempt would be made to
force anyone to sign, and that con
sumers who did not care to do so,
could burn coal. OF course, about
80 out of 100 people do not relish
such an alternative.
There has been much talk about
the new contracts, and some who
have not been asked to do SO de-
clare they will not sign them.
