 St. Louis, Nov. P. After remaining in the air for forty-five minutes, only for a brief period of which it was pro- pelled by it's own power, the Montana, meteor, the airship designed and con-. structed by Thomas Benbow, of Colum- bus, Montana, was brought safely to the ground in field three miles south-. east of the Worlds fair aerodrome to- day.
 The airship was navigated by the in- ventor, who stated to 8 representative of the Associated Press after the flight that he considered it very successful, considering the accident that happened to his machinery, which made leak in the gasolene tank, allowed all the fluid to escape and rendered his motor useless shortly after he had started the flight. #
 During the brief time that the motor was working the, airship made headway against the wind and answered its rud- der perfectly.

 Chicago, Nov. 22. No new clews de- veloped to-day in the murder case of Chauffeur Bate, who was killed near Lemont, IL, three days ago. The offi- cers are still seeking diligently for Mir.

 Search was instituted to-day for the girl, and in the stateroom which she had hired was found her note. The missing young woman, who is described as a young girl budding into woman- hood took passage at New York yes terday for Norfolk, giving her name as Miss Elizabeth Henkel.
 Wakefield, Mass, Nov. 22.-It is be- lieved here that the young woman who is supposed to have committed suicide from the steamer Princess Anne, was the daughter of F. J. Henkel of this town. Elizabeth Henkel, or Bessie, as she was better known, was about twen- ty years old and graduated from the Wakefield High school two years ago. Her father is connected with a piano factory here and is large property holder. MT. and Mrs. Henkel have not lived together for several years and the daughter divided her time between her father and her mother. She visited this town a few weeks ago and then left for New York, where her mother re- sides. The girl possessed remarkable beauty.
