Noank. Conn. Aug. 6.-The big bal
loon Nirvinn, carrying Dr. Julian +.
Thomas of New York and a profes-
sional aeronaut. ascended from a point
on East river. New York City, short
ly before 8 O'Clock Sunday night and
landed its passengers in the middle Of
this village at 5:45 o'clock Monday
morning after one Of the longest flights
ever taken by a passenger balloon In
this country. DR.. Thomas said he was
compelled 10 land TO get water, his
supply having given out few hours
before. After filling the tanks the bal
ioonists again rose and light wind
carried them in an easterly direction.
Or. Thomas said the trip had been the
most successful he had ever taken, and
SO far Il had been without a mishap
OF any kind. The trip from New York
10 this point covered about i4O miles.

II is said that the cars will be run
ming IN less than twelve months
Galveston News.
The Monday Houston Post says:
The new line will connect the
Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege to Bryan by electric car SER
vice Everything will be new and
of the latest pattern, and the new
interurban, it is claimed, will be
one Of the best-equipped electric
lines in the south. The rapid de-
velopment Of Bryan as an educa.
tional center attaches growing i'm.
portance TO the enterprising little
city, and the trolley line will make
College station, with it, great state
institution, part Of the city. All
along the line of the interurban
homes will be built. and in this
way, it il believed that Bryan and
College Station will grow into one.
The people Of the community are
greatly interested in the new en-.
terprise, and the interest Of the
business men Of the community is
substantially evidenced. The line
will be quite a brilliant feather in
Bryan's cap.
Work will be begun as soon as
the right Of way is secured and the
franchises received. Construction
will be pushed as rapidly as posi-
be to accommodate the college
ira fiic. President Harrington Of
the Agriculture. and Mechanical
college has lent the enterprise his
earnest support from the very first,
and all the college authorities are
delighted with the prospect OF
rapid and convenient transit TO
and from Bryan Houston Post.

TROLLEY LINE NOW IN SIGHT.
TENTATIVE AGREEMENT ENTERED
INTO At HOUSTON.
ONLY S6OOO.0O MORE NEEDED
To Insure This Great Enierprise-com'
mittee Will be out after this
Amount Today.

The article given in part below
appeared in the Sunday Galveston
News and Houston Chronicle and
was the first information received
by the people Of Bryan that ten
tative agreement had been entered
into for the construction Of the
Bryan and College trolley line,
and that the line will oubtless be
built. The parties to this pre-
liminary agreement. are Mr.. F. NJ.
Law, who was duly authorized TO
represent the trolley line commit.
tee at meeting held previous to
his departure, and Capt. Edward
Kennedy, who will finance and
construct the line. The announce
ment has been received with much
satisfaction and Bryan people are
wearing the smile that won't come
of. in the hope that the prelimin-
AIRY details will be closed up in
the next few days, the contract
signed and the work begin.
The local committee held a meet.
ing yesterday afternoon and after
canvasing the situation found that
! 100000 more is necessary to com.
ply with the terms OF the agree
ment, and accordingly the com
mittee will be out today to make a
strong effort to close the stock sub
scrip,ion. Surely the people Of
Bryan will not let this great en-.
terprise slip through their fingers
for the want Of this comparatively
insignificant sum. A failure on
the part Of Bryan at this time, in
view Of what has been said in the
newspapers Of the state, sample
OF which appears below, will be
nothing short OF suicidal in its
effect.
The News and Chronicle say:
Houston, Tex, Aug. 4.-Yester-
dsy evening during the brief time
that Mr.. F. NJ. Law, secretary Of
the Bryan Business League, was
in Houston, he and Capt. Edward
Kennedy arranged all plans for
construction of the Bryan-Coliege
Station trolley line. Mr.. Law was
en- route to New York city, where
he goes for business and pleasure.
He was accompanied by his wife.
He and Capt. Kennedy met by ap-
pointment at the la,ter's hotel here
and by the time Mr.. Law was
ready 10 resume his journey to
New York the final plans were
completed. Capt. Kennedy on-
nounces today that a surveying
corps will be at work between the
two places by Sept. and that
thereafter work will Le prosecuted
a expeditiously as possible.
As is known, the plans embrace
u five and one.half mile long troll.
ley line with power plant attach
ment sufficient to supply power
not only for the electric cars, but
also for commercial and manufac.
turing industries.
Mr.. Law, who is keenly interest.
ed in the success Of the the trolley
line, besides being secretary of the
Bryan Business League, is also one
of the directors in bank in that
city. His present trip TO New
York j. both in the nature Of busi.
ness and pleasure and he will De
