Hundreds of people along the river
had watched the course of the balloon,

badly used up, and had succor been

might have perished.
The purpose of the ascent was to
take pictures from the clouds of trip
to Coney Island. 1t was calculated
that the wind was favorable for the
project A camera with 1000 feet OIL
film was carefully adjusted in the car
and when Tindell at last said that all
was ready the big airship was un-
leashed.
The balloon shot majestically up
ward and when it had reached the
height of 1000 feet instead of veering
toward the Atlantic it sailed toward
Yonkers. The current that carried 1t
was brisk and it was soon out Of sight
of the friends that had collected at the
starting point.
Mrs. Stevens, wife of the aeronaut,
had prepared 10 follow the course of
the balloon in an automobile. She was
accompanied by DR.. Julian p. Thomas,
a member Of the Aero Club. who made
an ascent recently In Massachusetts.

Stevens, finding 1t impossible to reach
a current which might carry him tow
ard Coney Island, finally concluded to
descend.
The balloon began gradually to de-
scend when near Greystone, but 1t was
impossible to make landing So the
gas-filled fabric, like great bird.
swept over the river. 1t became evil

the airship was quickly relieved of bal

gradually rose, and the fear was about
to be dispelled when a sudden gust Of
wind drove it against the rocks.
Mrs. Stevens, watching from the
speeding automobile, uttered sharp
exclamation Of terror. Those who
watched with her saw the balloon
sheer off sharply and the car lurch vio-
lently Off into space spilling out the
two men.
The plunge was desperate one and
when the men struck the water they
were almost rendered unconscious.
They were Struggling feebly when the
fishermen reached them.
Mrs. Stevens and her party char

and steamed to Yonkers. The balloon
was a complete wreck.

a ,<eEYscHMER STORY.
Dubuque Paper Claims That Railroads
Would Buy Him With Federal Job.


Dubuque, May 16.--The democratic
Telegra pn Herald, which for this cam
paign has been publishing campaign
material for the railroad managers,
publishes sensational story to the ef-
feet that the railroads would Duy
Kretschmer away from Cummins by
offering MIN Ed. Knott's job as United
States marshal.
The Telegraph. says.
THAT the railroads are hot after
Fred Kr retschmer there is no doubt.
They are unable to give him the place
on their ticket for state treasurer, but
it is reported they will get him the ap-
pointment as United States marshal to
succeed Ed. Knott.
The news has leaked out that
Rlythe's agents are bringing pressure
to bear on Kretschner to induce him
to switch from the Cummins faction to
them. .rhey had made him propo-
sition but what it was only a few
people knew.
"Kretschmer's friend are wrapt up In
his campaign almost as much as he Is,
and were anxious to know what the
railroads have to offer to him. In
Dubuque county the republicans are
for Kre.schmer first, and for whomso-
ever he may choose in the gubernator-
ial contest, second.
1t was learned on excellent authority

Efforts to learn mere OF the work OF
the machine with kretschmer was un-
availing.
ED. KNOTS death knell as United
States marshal has been sounded.
The resolution presented at the con-
gressional convention recommending
he be not reappointed is fresh in the
memory of Third district people.
"Kretschmer has not notified CAlm-
Minis headquarters at Des Moines he
will cast Dubuque county's vote for tho
governor In the state convention. Now
that the Perkins men are showing
signs of reviving, the Cumn1ins' work.
ers are looking about for all available
votes. While it is generally believed
Kretschmer is with Cummins, the
'standpat forces claim Dubuque will
be anti Cummins. They assert this will
be a Perkins week. Because OF these
many rumors Cumnnins men are look
ing towards Dubuque and the Third
district for support
"Kretschmer and Cummips will meet
at Clarion Wednesday. 1t is anticipated
the two will discuss the campaign and
the part to be played by the governor
in the Dubuquer's candidacy"
