WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE CONNECTIONS
Old Brooklyn Resident Would Like to See
improvements Before He Dies.
"a Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial on Monday In regard TO the
williamsburg Bridge is very much to the point. and
I wish you could inform and thousands OF
others why hundreds OF thousands OF dollars were
spent on that structure 20 build an elevated rail-
road that never to be used. All the foolish
does it seem when in Brooklyn the Broadway ele-
waited railroad might be connected with il by a
branch OF three or four hundred feet, and IN New
York the Second avenue elevated is only a few
blocks distant With such a connection made
trains could run through from Brooklyn to Harlem
or South Ferry. or from New York TO Brooklyn.
II has seemed 20 me that had there been anything
like the desire the part OF the city authorities
or Of the railway people 20 afford the citizens on
both sides Of the river the relief that they have
talked so much about. this would have been accom-
plIshed long long ago. IL has seemed though
the desire was not 20 do The Brooklyn troleys
cross 20 New York, and then stop. and the New
York trolleys cross TO Brooklyn. Why do not the
New York cars go 10 East New York. or the Brook
lvn cars TO Harlem South Ferry, each collecting
second fare II necessary after crossing the bridget
Where there Is a will there Is a way. and in this
case the way is nearly provided
Then again. If there honest desire on
the par of the authorities give better facilities
70 It's citizens 10 cross the river. why was one
foundation for the tower OF the Manhattan Bridge
buut long before the other begun and both
finished two or years before anything Is being
done towards the bridge itself? / cannot see that
moro surface tracks are needed in New York or
Brooklyn only connect those we have with the
Williamsburg Bridge and the thing is done. and
the same thing is true of the elevated with the
short additions above mentioned.

NIGHT 4IRSHIP FLIGHT.
Woman IN Car scith SteUens Fits
about OUer City.
TBy Telerraph 10 The Tribuns.

Franklin, Penn, Aug. 11.-Mrs Mary P. Miller.
wife of Major c. j. S. Miller, was in an exciting
iiisnt IN an airship here tonight. The trip was
made in company with Leo Stevens. the inven-
tor and builder of the airship, and was attended
by circumstances that made stronghearted
men who witnessed ii trembIe in their shoes.
But Mrs. Miller never iinched and when the
descent was finally made she said it was glori-
ous Stevens congratulated her on her bravery.
Because OF the gas which the bag lost yesterday.
Stevens learned this evening that he could not
take Major Miller along HIS WIFE, who was at
the aerodrome asked to go in his stead. and
the major gave his consent.
IL was after s O'Clock and quite dark when
they got away. The big crowd gave three cheers
for Mrs. Miller. who laughed gayly and waived
her handkerchief. Stevens started in the direc-
tion OF the town. with the airship going splen-
didly He had it in perfect control. and could
steer 1t in any direction he desired. But when
ne was six hundred feet in the air. and about
an eighth OF mile from the starting point. the
engine gave out, stopping dead still.
In hurting out the drag line Mrs. Miller had
thrown out the sparkling crank, so nothing re-
mained 70 be done but TO come down. They
were then above a high hill overlooking the
town, and just in the direction they were going
was precipice with French Creek at the bot
tom. Stevens saw he would have 10 make a
hasty descent. and opened the valve at the top
Of the bag. The big airship settled nicely
though it struck the corner OF house. No dam
age was done. However. they were only 300
feet from the edge Of the hill
Mrs. Miller was enthusiastic over her trip. and
was thoroughly disappointed that it had not
lasted longer When her husband came running
up, all out OF breath, she declared that It was
glorious. and said she wanted TO go again.
She alighted, however from the airship. and
Stevens put his engine in order and resumed his
flight. He crossed the city in total darkness.
and when he returned TO the AerOdrome he could
rot see 70 land. He then continued his flight
again flying over the city He went in a wide
circle looking for a place to alight, and finally
selected an open field across the Allegheny River,
a mile from town. He said IL the first air.
ship fight made in total darkness of which he
ever knew. He also said that Mrs. Miller was
the first woman in America TO make trip In an
airship.
