sfonal aeronaut, ascended from point

morning after one of the longest
flights ever taken by passenger bal
loon in this country 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 rose and the
light wind carried them in an easterly
direction. DR.. Thomas said that the
trip had been one of the most success
full he had ever taken and so far had
been without mishap of any kind.
The trip from New York to this point
covered about 40 miles. While off
Bridgeport the balloon descended un-
til the aeronauts came close enough to
Long Island sound to enable them to

where they had been with a team
and were a half mile or so from
home when they were met by
Guenstein and Gunder, Torgrin's
younger brothers, who had been
sent to tell the latter to bring
home the cows. The two boys in
the wagon and Gunder went for
the cows, while Guenstein
jumped in the wagon and drove
home.
Instead of staying there, how
ever, the little fellow a fter he had
unhitched the horses, ran back
down the road to meet the other
boys. They were coming through
the fields with the cows, but
they did not see him and it oc,
Cured to him that here would be
a fine chance to play a joke and
fool his older companions. So
he hid in the bushes near the
road and when the boys came
up began to make a noise and
jump around like wild animal.
Bears are not so uncommon in
the woods in FROM and the three
lads were pretty badly scared.

day in advance of the convention.
The leading candidates for governor

Regarding one, thing all who have
arrived are fully agreed and that is
for a strong endorsement of Bryan for
president. Among the most conspicu-
GUS in this movement are those who
in the past have opposed Bryan. It
is expected that the tariff plank in the
platform will demand immediate re-
vision and the placing of some articles
on the free list.

One of the youngsters carried q
|22-calibre rifle and Torgrin,
grasping it out of his friend &
hands, said he was not afraid Of
the bear and advanced toward
the bush with leveled gun.
He waited until he saw some.
thing black and fred. There
was a cry, and the wounded boy
rushed out of the bushes toward
the road. In an instant Torgrin
saw what he had done and was
almost beside himself with grief
and terror.
"Are you hurt, Guenstein," he
cried. The brother did not
answer. He clasped his hand to
his heart in a pitiful sigh OF
agony and pitched forward on
his face in the road
His companions rushed to his
side and picking the little fellow
up in their ar ms, carried him to
the home of John Norbo, neigh.
Dor. There it was discovered
that the bullet had pierced the
brea st just above the heart, and
that there we're no signs of life.
From the neighbours, the dead
boy was taken to his home,
where he now lies.

the state he won Cook county by

Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 7.-Over 300
emigrants, most of them Italians and
Spaniards, were drowned in the wreck
of the Italian steamship Sirio off Hor.
megas island, from Genoa for BARGE,
Iona, Cadfz, Montevideo and Buenos
Ayres. with about 800 persons on
board. .'..
The remainder of the passengers
and the officers and crew got away in
the ships boats or were rescued by
boats from the shore. ~ ..~
Several fishermen who made at
tempts at rescue were drowned.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos in pitiable condi-
tiOn, being without food or clothing.
The disaster occurred while the
steamer was threading difficult pas
sage through the Hormegas group,
where the Bajos Hormegas reef is a
continual menace to navigation.
The vessel began to settle rapidly
Immediately after she had struck and
terrible scene of panic and con-
fusion ensued on board. The fisher
men along the coast sought to render
every assistance in their power and
sent out boats, which brought many
survivors ashore.
Captain Ends His Life.
When the captain saw that the yes
Sci was lost and that the emigrants
had captured the boat he committed
suicide with a revolver The other
officers then lost their heads and there
was nobody to direct the crew.
Eyewitnesses give awful pictures of
the brutal panic that followed. For
half an hour the emigrants were mas
ters of the situation. They completely
overcame the crew by sheer force Of
numbers and this in spite of the efforts
Of the officers, who tried to save the
women and children first.
"A group of emigrants approached
one of the ships boats, which was
already full and which was about to
be launched, and dislodged the people,
killing several with their knives. Just
as they were about to occupy the boat
themselves another body of emigrants
came up and a fierce fight for the life
boat followed.
Many Of the survivors brought
ashore were seriously wounded and a
number had sustained fractured
limbs. Some Of the injured subse-
quently died
The Sirio had seen twenty-three
years Of service, but she was consid-
cred to be in seaworthy condition.
She was built Of iron and wood, had a
single screw, was Of 1000 tons gross
register and had speed Of Is knots
per hour. Her captain, Giuseppe
Baradi. was a native of Genoa and a
veteran seaman.
