SAILED ABOVE CLOUDS
 F0R OVER 225 MILES
REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL BAIL LOON "TRIP BY THOMAS AND
 KNABENSHUE.

Their Sunday Night Ascent From New
 York Ends With Landing at Brant
 Rock, Mass.---Nothing to Mar the Trip
 Except Slight Injury to Knabenshue
 Observations That May Assist in
 Development of Aerial Navigation
 Through a Fog--Yachting Party Sur
 prlsed.
 Brant Rock, Mass, Aug. 6.--sailing above the clouds and over 225 miles of panoramic land and water from New York city, and landing to-day at the lit- tie seashore resort of Brant Rock, Mass, near the historic town of Ply mouth, Dr. Julian P. Thomas, of New York city, and Roy Knabenshue, a pro- fessional aeronaut, m ade one of the most successful balloon trips yet under taken in this country and learned much, it is believed, that will assist in the de- velopnent of aerial navigation. Dr. Thomas, in an interview, said that the trip, from every point of view, was the most successful he has yet experienced The balloon was undamaged, but Aero naut Knabenshue was cut slightly dur ing the final descent at this place. Oth- erWise nothing marred the flight.
 The voyage was made with one stop, and that voluntary one, at Noank, Conn.,, early this morning, where by the aid of new guide rope Dr. Thomas brought his big balloon to the earth to procure breakfast and water almost as skilfully and with as accurate judge of distance as pilot brings huge lin- CT to her dock. The aeronauts landed at Brant Rock at 11:30 this forenoon, and as they left New York at midnight last night they were nearly twelve hours on their trip.
 Tho start was made from the Union Gas works, at One Hundred and Thir- teenth street, New York city, and the trip was made for the purpose of test ing two new appliances, a guide rope and water anchor The former device worked with great success.
 The ascent from the gas works was made without mishap at midnight, The balloon rose high over New York city, and, iinpelled by a gentle southwest wind, sailed off over Long Island sound. The balloonists had wonderful and unusual view of the earth because of the clear light of a full August moon. After several miles, however, thick fog swept in between the swaying car and the waters of the sound. To the disnay of the aeronauts they were un- able to tell whlther they were drifting. This was perhaps the most trying mo- ment of the journey. Of this Dr. Thom- as said:
 I've were not frightened. I have al- ways been lucky"
 By the use of his guide rope Dr. Thomas brought the car nearer the earth, and from the blasts of the fog horns beneath him he knew he was still

cum Disaster.
 New York, Aug. 6.--Within 200 feet of the spot where the General Slocum dis aster occurred the ferryboSt Hacken- sack of the College Point line, plying between East 99th street, North Beach, and College Point, went ashore off the foot of East 13Sd street tonight, caus- ing a panic among the passengers on board. Men and women rushed about the decks terror stricken. Although assured by the crew of the ferryboat that they were in no danger everybody on board insisting on being taken off on the tugboat Wade which bears the record of saving twenty-seven lives from the Slocum.
 After all the passengers had been safely transferred to the shore the ferryboat was pulled into deep water and proceeded under her own steam to the 99th street slip.
 Just what caused the accident could not be learned. The boat drifted help lessly with the current which swept her on the mud flats at the southerly end of North Brother Islands.

GA mob of three thousand determined men shortly before il o'clock tonight forcibly en- tered Rowan county jail at Salisbury, removed therefrom three of the six ne- groes charged with the murder of the Lyerly family at Barber Junction July 13, and lynched them. Nease and John Gillespie and Jack Dillingham;, suppos- ed to be the principals in that crime, were the victims of mob vengeance. The remaining negroes, Henry Lee, George Erwin and Bella Dillingham;, were not molested, and later tonight officers took them to Greensboro,
 The mob began gathering at sundown, Mayor Boyden promptly ordered the saloons closed, and with other promi- nent citizens, United States Senator Overman and Solicitor Hammer, gath cred on the jail steps and addressed the crowd, which at the time numbered two thousand. There were howls and cat calls from the mob but for time there was no move because of the lack of a leader,
 While the citizens were appealing to the mob two men slipped through tho crowd and were entering the jail with hammers. They were discovered and arrested. The mob continued it's yell- ing, but there was still no concerted move. About o'clock Mayor Boyden called upon the local military company, the Rowan Rifles, for aid. They assem- bled quickly, but were supplied only with blank cartridges, having nc orders to shoot to kill. Fireman McLedon, of Charlotte, a Southern railway employe, was shot In the stomach by a bullet said to have been fired by member of the mob. He was fatally wounded William Troutman, negro drayman. was also seriously shot at about the same time
 Both of the shootings are claimed to have been accidental, occasioned by some of the wild firing by members of the mob with the evident intention of Prio JtaOiOer tha ciftypnG
 At 10 o'clock there was great stir in the mob, which had been augmented by fully five hundred men, who came, it is said, from Whitney, where the Whitney Reduction company is devel- oping the Yadkin water power.
 It was but few minutes after their arrival when crowd of fifty, forming sort of flying wedge, made break for the jail doors. overpowered the off, cers and effected an entrance. The great crowd outside surged in behind the leaders, and in few minutes more emerged from the door with their vic tins.
 The negroes were quietly marched northward toward Spencer, but halt - 7C1orE{,,,od 0y cooopd ooo-o |
