party arrived he was all spick and
span in his suit, with handsome Pan
anna hat to top it off.
The people gathered at the train
with their parcels, handbags, suit
cases and other luggage, and the chap
erons were also on deck, lynx-eyed and
on the alert.
The girl was radiant in a pretty
white gown, but she wore a worried
look.
What on earth am l going to do
with Graham" she whispered to her
friend Violet.
Leave the matter to me-" replied
the friend. 81 will help you out.
have been mixed up in just that kind
of trouble many times, and l am sure
can assist YOU"
Thus assured, the girl plucked up
courage and her face grew as bright
as the day. In due season they ar.
rived at the lake and the first thing Vio-
let suggested was sail on the blue ex-
panse of water.
Graham was enthusiastic, and he con.
her young man should accompany the
girl and himself. This left the girls
young man on shore, and he scowled
and fumed right heartily until Violet
got an opportunity to whisper some
thing in his ear, and then he smiled,
also.
AS the boat pulled out from the shore
the young man was left chuckling to him
self, and seemed thoroughly resigned to
the fate of remaining on shore.
The little boat plowed through the
blue waters of the lake. and all went well
until the girls decided they wished to
change places in the boat. 1t was Vio-
let who suggested it, and an attempt was
made to make the change, when Ora
ham, in some unaccountable manner,
was tipped into the water.
The girls screamed, and tried to save
him, but over he went flannel suit and
all, and when he came up he clutched
at the side of the boat and hung tire
like limp, white rag.
After deal of excitement and trou-
BILE, he was hauled aboard the boat,
and the little party returned.
There was much excitement when
young Graham was landed at the little
boat pier like a drowned rat, and, of
course, he had to hurry to the cot
tage, for he was as wet as could be.
Everybody seemed to feed badly
about the accident, but there was moth
ing for Graham to do but hide from
sight. His flannel suit was ruined,
and he had no other clothes with him.
The girl, of course, had to fall back
on her own young man as an escort,
and Violet and her young man soon
joined the girl, and everything was as
lovely as could be.
Graham remained in the cottage all
day long. After his flannel suit had
been dried in the sun he found that it
had shrunk so he could not possibly
be seen in it, for the trousers came
nearly to his knees, and the coat
sleeves stopped short at the elbows.
Poor Graham was compelled to re.
main indoors all day, while the other
members of the party had great
good time. Finally when night came
on and it drew near train time the
poor, unfortunate young man, under
cover of the darkness, sought the

A Fathers search for q Runaway Son
Revealed the Romance.

PouoHKEEPsIE, N. Y, June 3O.-A father e
search for a runaway son has revealed a

and overcome to claim his bride. The story
was made public by the announcement

10 years old and the bride II.
Young Westervet has been attending
Riverview Military Academy in this city,
and while there met Miss Rose a pretty
High School girl to whose charms he quickly
surrendered. The youth Of the two made
thoughts Of marriage with the consent Of
their parents impracticable, so the young
people determined to act without consulting
them.
Upon his return from Riverview to his
home young Westervelt dropped his suit
case out Of wiadow and followed 1t down
a rope. He returned to Poughkeepsie
by train, and on Sunday he and Miss Rose

AN AIRSHIp THAT BEHAVES.
GOES SIX MILES IN FIFTY MN
UTES FAR FROM EARTH.
Speeds to the Roof Of Tall Building In
Toledo. Facing a High Wind. and Re.
turns to the Exact Starting Place With
the Trlum plant knabenshuc, inventor.

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 3O-A. Roy Knaben-
shue, the Toledo aeronaut, to-day made
| successful and remarkable fight in his
airship. He started from the Fair Grounds
at 9:35 A. M. and landed on the roof Of the
Splitter Building, ten stories tall III the heart
of the downtown district, at 10 o'clock. the
distance being three miles He started
on the return trip at 1929 A. M. and arrived
at the Fair Grounds at 1880 A. M.
On the downtown trip the ship beat d.
rectly into a head wind which was steady
and strong. On the return the ship was
blown mile beyond the Fair Grounds, and
tackled back. Not a hitch occurred in the
operation OF the ship. and Knabenshue
was in full control. When he stared off
he slanted at an angle and rose slowly
Above the trees there was a strong wind
and 1t became stronger as the airship scared
higher.
Knabenshue Unanswered the ship, let
ting the wind behind carry it back slightly
until he had attained the position he de-
sired. Then he bore off downtown di-
rectly in the face of the high wind He
rose slowly until he had left the earth
at least mile behind. He kept the
big airship, now almost a speck, against

the wind, which at that height was blow
ing gale.
All that appeared to the thousands and
thousands Of excited watchers on the
ground, the housetops and the roofs of
buildings mile below him was the little
dot of the balloon and short streak under
1t that was all that could be seen of the
frame.
Again and again Knabenshue let the wind
carry him of few points, but every time
he threw the big rudder hard over the big
herringlike ship turned about. He kept
the ship in the air until he had passed be-
yond the Splitter Building and over the
roof Of the Gardner B uiding. Then he
let the wind carry him slowly back. He
eased off the engine and the ship settled
gently.
Finally he stopped the machinery alto
gether and down he came into the arms
Of the big crowd waiting to haul in his
ship and to grasp his hand. His perfect con-
troll Of the air craft was illustrated at the
end Of the return trip. He came down
steadily, and when about $50 feet above the
ground he steered the ship in an almost
perfect circle and made it settle softly in
the exact spot from which he had started
an hour before and exactly between two
rows of sandbags that had been dropped
of the frame at the start.
Knabenshle declares that his present
ship is far superior to others he has navi-
gated, that it is easier managed and that
he has solved the problem of aerial naviga-
ton. He will make another flight at the
Fair Grounds on Sunday afternoon.

HAVANA, June 30.-The Van Horne rail-

almost unanimously by the House Of Repre-

collapsed, and the newspapers, which had
consistently attacked the measure, became
silent.
1t is said that one of the reasons for this
was that the opponents Of the bill agreed
to vote for it provided that the $4,000, 900
bill for the payment Of the ex-soldiers in
bonds was approved. This bill was brought
up as soon as the railway bill was passed. but
it was abandoned for a discussion of the

RUNAWAY BOILER KILLS MAN.
He Tried to stop 1t by Grabbing Wheel
Of the Truck.

One man was killed and two buildings
we're damaged by twenty seven ton boiler
on a runaway truck at Amsterdam avenue
and l34th street last night. number OF
children narrowly escaped being hurt.
The truck and boiler finally crashed into
a five story fat house and turned over.
The boiler was being used by contractor
doing some excavating on Amsterdam ave-
nue. between 134th and 185th streets. 1t
was necessary to move the boiler a few
feet and it was put on a truck. A rope
was attached to the truck and two horses
started to pull 1t to the street. at the top OF
one of the steepest hills in the city. There
was no brake on the truck. which started
down the hill at full speed. The horses
became frightened and ran away. With
the horses pulling and no steering gear to
manage it the truck zigzagged from one
side OF the street to the other.
A number Of children were playing In
the street and their mothers rushed to save
them A trolley car filled with passengers
just missed being struck.
The driver Of the truck, Matthew Thorn
ton OF 1873 East 1l7th street, deserted his
horses. Joseph Olive IS years old,
watohman, Of SIS West i3sd street, grabbed
one of the front wheels in an effort to steer
the truck. He was thrown under the wheel
and crushed. The boiler finally ran into
Cremer's saloon at Amsterdam avenue
and l33d street.
Olive was taken to the j. Hood Wright
Hospital in an express wagon. Father
Barrin ger of the Church Of the Annuncia-
ton, l3lst street and Broadway. jumped
on the wagon and administered the last
rites to the dying man. Olive died as he
was being carried into the hospital.
He leaves widow and three small chill
dren. Mrs. Olive and one child had been
up to visit him ten minutes before he was
killed.
Two large plate glass windows and sew
eral smaller ones in the saloon were
smashed. Parts of the sidewalk were
torn up and strips ripped from the build
ing. The horses freed themselves from
the truck Just as it landed against the house
and they continued through 133d street
until caught few blocks away.
