 Into the Air.

Noank. Aug 6.-The big balloon Nirvana which carried Dr Julian P. Thomas and professional aeronaut into the darkness from point at Port Morris. New York city. shortly before 9 o'clock last night, landed their passengers in the middle of this village at 5:45 this morning after one of the longest flights ever taken by a passenger balloon in this coun- try. Dr Thomas said that he was compelled to land to get water, his supply having given out a few hours before. After filling their tanks, the balloonists again rose and the light wind carried them in an easterly di- rection, until finally the big canvass appeared as mere speck. Dr Thomas said that the trip had been one of the most successful he had ever talk en and so far had been without a mishap of any kind. It is believed that the ascension from Port Morris was the first ever undertaken in this country in the night time.

 rope and tow the balloon toward thu
 shore. Captain Jennings said hi' Eengines were not powerful enough | to do this, and the balloon then grad ually rose and driftea toward New

His Wife Has Had Three New Suits Brought Against the We'll
 Known WatoTbuTian.
DIVORCE AND MAINTENANCE
Attorney 0'Neill Also Sues for His Fee Another Suit
 for $l,0oo.

Attorney John O'Neill has again attacked Edwin U. Lathrop in the interests of Mrs Elizabeth L. Latin rop, his wife, bringing three suits against him to-day. Essentially they are the same old cases that were withdrawn at the suggestion of Judge Reed in the superior court some time ago. but the allegations are entirely different.
 Tn one suit Mrs Lathrop asks for a divorce and alimony of $30.00O. In the divorce case which has been de- cided by Judge Reed the amount Of alimony was not specified. but before the case was heard she was allowed $500 down and $50 month until the case was determined. On that de- cision she got about $500.
 In the second of the present cases Mrs Lathrop petitions for mainte- nance and asks for $20.000, setting up expenses for operations she has undergone and expects to have to undergo from time to time; also for medicines and incidentals.
 In the third suit Attorney O'Neill is the plaintiff and he claims $3.50o for services rendered Mrs Lathrop as counsel and which he alleges were necessary to be performed for her. Finally 1t is alleged that MT Lath- rop's real estate interests amount to S1OO,O0O. Attachments in each of the three cases hase been on the property and certificates left with the town clerk for record to-day. This is an indication that Mrs Lath- rop will not appeal from Judge Reeds decision in the divorce case just decided.

Justice 10 Mr.. Lyon,

Because of rumors, and evidence Of wrong
doing in the management Of the dispensary
the Legislature felt called upon to appoint an
Investigating committee whose duty 1t
should be to ascertain facts and report the
same.
In the matter OF look Ing up evidence, sub
! committees we're appointed and one of these
was composed of Messrs. Lyon and Christin'
| son. They entered upon this delicate and
Idisagreeable duty with no other object than
that OF serving the State faithfully and eff
ciently, while dealing fairly and impartially
with the citizen.
! One of the most delicate and difficult ques-
tions that the committee has been called on
to decide Is, where is the line OF demarcation
between q mans private character, which
should be unassailable, and his official acts
for which he should be held accountable.
The citizen and the officer may defer as to
the line of demarcation, and upon this differ
ance ofopinion troubles have arisen.
In all hat has been said and done the
committee should be given credit. through
out the State, for honesty and zeal In the
discharge OF its duty.
1t was in tpi spirit that the committee In.
vited Senator Tillman TO appear before 1t
| Sitting as a court Of inquiry as we'll as a court
Of judgment. IT was but Justice to Senator
Tillman that he be asked to appear. At no
previous time had there been q legally con
stituted committee before whom facts about
the dispensary during his administration
GOULD be made known. 1t was an opportuni-
ty for Senator Tillman to place upon record
the facts.
Responsibilities for the Investigation Of
Senator Tillman's connection with the dis.
pensary rests not with the sub committee
but wlth:those would be traducers Of the sys-
tenn and OF him in connection with 1t.
Long before the members Of the sub COM
mittee entered public life, insinuations, If
not direct charges, were made through the
newspapers. 1t Is safe to say that the men,
bers OF the committee did not believe them.
Mr.. Lyon himself did not, but In the spirit Of
fairness to Senator Tillman the opportunity
was offered 10 brand slanderous imputations
for all time. 1t is TO be hoped that the malice
of his enemies will not 90 behind the verdice
OF the committee to again bring upithose stalt
charges, proven false.
MIR. Lyon has been jealous in discharging
his duty. Such is his nature. Those who
know him we'll, know that his purpose is to
be fair. No man at home bears a better repu-
tation for integrity. 1t Is manifestly unjust
to censu,e Mr.. Lyon for the faithful per-
formapce Of a duty laid on him by the peo-
pie through the Legislature. He has dis
charged and Is dIschsrging a public duty 30
faithfully that he deserves the we'll done OF
all the people. His work Is doubly deserving
because of its laborious and disagreeable feat
ures.
