TWO DAMAGE SUITS
One of Them in Doubt. the Other in
 the Air.

It appeared last night that the jury in the case of Ida p. Mitchell against the Phoenix Street railway company for damages sustained in being thrown from one of the cars of the company would not be able to agree The in structions were delivered yesterday morning. and after a brief argument the case was submitted. Along in the afternoon the jury sent word to the court that additional instructions were desired. The attorneys for neither side were in court, but later in the day the jury was brought in. They were again directed to retire, and were instructed that if a verdict should be found after the court had gone home, it might be sealed and presented this morning. One of the members of the jury said he thought it was useless to consider the case any longer. The court replied that not great deal of time had been spent upon it yet. The jury retired
 Another damage suit, that of Clara S. Sanders against the Phoenix street railway, was taken up as soon as the Mitchell case went to the jury. This case was originally brought by George w. Sanders, who claimed damage by being thrown from one of the cars of the company near the park. about two y ears ago. IL was alleged that the aC- cident was caused by the negligence of employees of the company. Before the trial of the case Sanders died. and an effort was made to have his widow substituted as plaintiff. That failed. and she began the suit anew as plain tiff.
 When the caseNwas taken up yester- day morning a pury was impaneled. and Judge Ainsworth, for the defend ant demurred to the complaint mainly on the ground that there was no com plaint: that it failed to allege that the plaintiff had been damaged. The de- murrer was sustained. and the plain tiff was allowed to amend within ten days.
 The trial of the case of Mrs. Laura p. Warren against L. E. Allen and W. A. Wilson was begun. This action grew out of the sale of the M. V. Warren ranch, north of the city. by the defendants, who are engaged in the real estate business. There was a difference of opinion about the amount of the commission. The jury had not

In attempting to make second tucn the accident to the motor occurred. but almost instantly Knabenshue gained control of the machine and steered a straight course a little east of southeast.
 After he had landed. Knabenshue stated that when he found he could control the movements of the airship after the motor was useless, he de- teTnined to make the test a fair one, and decided to effect a landing on the east side Of tEe Mississippi river. Steering his balloon so that he could gain the best speed from the wind. Knabenshue directed its course ove- the southwestern residence district of St. Louis where it's presence was soon discovered and its progress marked by thousands. Passing rapidly eastward the Arrow reached the downtown dis trict, where its appearance was a sig nal for the greatest excitement. Clerks deserted their desks, street cars were stopped and practically all business was suspended while the airshfp pass ed over the city.
 From the Missouri side he passed to the Illinois shore of the Mississippi river and, having completed his self imposed task he headed towards Ca hokia and brought his airship 10 the ground atout mile from that little hamlet Immediately after landing. Kna5ensaue stated that in his opinion the trial of the airship- was distinct success He said that he could have brought the flying machine to the ground at any time, but that as he could to a certain extent control it's movements and that as he considered himself in no danger he decided to continue the flight and demonstrate that even though the motor was broken, the Arrow could be controlled.

AN AIRSHIP AT LAST
The Successful Flight of
 the Arrow
Business in St. Louis Was Brought Co a StandstiII by Its Unexpected Ap- pearance in the Heavens.

St. Louis. Mo, Oct. 25.-Propelled part of the way by it's own power and the remainder of the distance by the wind, which was blowing at the rate of about nine or ten miles an hour the airship Arrow, owned by Thos. Bald win of San Francisco, in the charg4 of A Roy knabenshue of Toledo, made an unannOunced ascension from the aeronautc course at the worlds fair to- day and landed near Cahokia, Illinois, a distance of nearly ten miles, after a flight that attracted the attention of thousands, who cheered almost con tinuOusly as the big flying machine passed over the exposition grounds, left the residence section of St. Louis and scared high above the towering office buildings of the business district.
 Clinging to the frame work Of the car. his precious foothoId an iron tube that forms one side of the base of a triangular network of supports and ribs of the airship's body Knabenshue directed the movements of his flying machine and maneuvered in circles and against the high wind over the monster exhibit palaces of the exposi- ton before an accident to his motor rendered the big fan-like pro- pelleTs useless and curtaiIed his com AId4u CI the alrSnlp.

 There was comparatively small crowd at the aerodrOme when the flight began. The trip from the starting point to the main point of the expo shtion grounds was also unnoticed by thousands of visitors that thronged the exposition. In this maner the appear ance of the airship several hundred feet in the air, sailing over the trans portation building. came as a surprise 10 hundreds of sight-seers, but within ten minutes of it's discovery, thousands were watching with breathless inter- est as Knabenshue, who was plainly discernfhle, caused the flying machine to turn this way and that at his will.
 Slowly the airship turned and. breasting the wind made progress in the direction from which 1t had come.

THE GRAVITY REALIZED.
Made More Intense by the Silence of
 the Russian Admiral.

St Petersburg, Oct 25.-Vice Ad- miral Rojestvensky's reason for firing into the British fishing fleet remains as great a mystery as ever. Again at midnight the admiralty announced that the admiral,s report Of the affair had not been received. Meantime. without awaiting the Russian version of the affair. Emperor Nicholas. through Ambassador Harding. has sent to King Edward and the British government a message conveying an expression of the profoundest regret for the unfortunate affair. coupled with assurances that the families of the victims should receive the fullest reparation. The British government also shows moderation in the note which Sir Charles HarJiing presented 10 Foreign Minister Lamsdorff this af- ternOon. While it awaits an expIana- tton for an act which it characterizes in strong language as unjustidable de- liberate and inhuman, it makes no threats, fixes no time limit for a re- sponse. and contains no demands. the note specifically stating that Great Britaip's demands are reserved pend ing the receipt of an explanation.
 The willingness of Great Britain to await the Russian explanation before formulating demands shows eonsidera- ton for the position in which Russia has been placed by the deplorable blunder. At the same time, this con sideration has on cminous ring about 1t. only serving to emphasize the gray ity of the situation, the language of the note admitting of no doubt that when the demands are ultimately pre-

 At the Emerald the incline shaft Is now below the water line and will be crowded to the first station. when drifting will be started toward the ore zone.
 When 1t is remembered that the distance between the Silver Thread on the north and the Emerald on the south is over a mile and a half, the magnitude of the work of the large pumping plant at the intermediate point in draining this immense district will at once be recognized.
