GERMAN BALLOON A WINNER.
Traversed About $50 Miles From st.
Louis to the Coast.

Two of the balloons which started in
| the great race from st. Louis on Monday
| landed in New jersey Wednesday, hav-
ing reached the Atlantic coast. The Ger,
man balloon Pommern came down at y
clock and the French balloon, Llsle de
France, reached the earth at lilo o'clock
in the afternoon. The German bal
loon won the race, but it required
an official ruling to settle the matter,
as there were only few miles dbl
ference in the distance travelled by the
two. The L'lsle de France landed at
Hubertsville, near Point Pleasant, some
distance south of Asbury Park and few
miles further inland. The landing was
made without accident. The balloon was
at once debated, placed in farmers
wagon and Alfred Leblanc, the pilot, and
his assistant, Edgar W. Mix, accompanied
it to Point Pleasant, where 1t was loaded
on a train for New York. When the
train reached Asbury Park the areonauts
were sound asleep and could not be
aroused during the trains brief stop, Soon
after the balloon rose from st. Louis on
Monday Mr.. Mix was taken i'll and was
practically incapacitated during the en-
tire trip, although he refused Mr.. lie
blancs' offer to descend and give up the
contest After travelling Approximately $50
miles the Pommern landed safely a half
mile south of Asbury Park proper. o.
car Ersloch piloted the balloon and Henry
II. Clayton of the Blue Hill observatory
near Boston acted as his assistant. When
the balloon was first sighted there was
much excitement for miles around. Auto
mobiles and teams of all descriptions hast
lily followed in the path of the big gas
bag, and few moments after the areo-
nauts landed they were surrounded by a
large crowd of interested spectators.
A German contestant, the Dusseldorf,
with Capt. Abercron as pilot, landed near
Dover, Del, with a distance of approx
mately 1915 miles to her credit. The Unit
ed States landed Tuesday night at Gale
donia, Ont, after flight of $50 miles.
Another American contestant, the Amer
lea. with Chandler and Mccoy in the
basket landed at s a. m. Wednesday at

PANICKY TIMES IN NEW YORK.
Failure of Knickerbocker Trust Co
Causes Much Liquidation.

There was a goodsized financial tenn
pest, approaching panic, in New York
city Tuesday. 1t began with a tremendous
run on the Knickerbocker Trust company,
the second largest bank in the city, and
in three hours the bank was forced to
suspend, having paid out at the rate OF
S44, 444 a minute. The Wall street firm
of Meyer & Co. failed for S6.000,000. Prin-
cipal securities settled S. to So share.
Call money rose to 20 per cent. Bankers
appealed for aid to the secretary OF the
treasury, who came to New York and
promised to do all he could to restore
credit and confidence. The trouble was
nrecipitated by the futile attempt of the
Heinzes to corner copper.
The Knickerbocker Trust company
failed to reopen its doors Wednesday and
although this was not wholly unexpected
in financial circles it had its effect in
sending many stocks to record low levels.
Secretary Cortelyou helred out conditions
hv lowing the banks the use of S25000,-
600 but it is understood that he imposed
some very strict conditions on its use,
particularly in regard to speculation. The
market continued to be panicky yester-
day and there were many forced sales at
unusually low prices. The feeling among
the great mass of people, however, is one
of confidence. in the knowledge that the
country's prosperity cannot be damaged
by the Vaccinations of spectators as
long as crops are good.

The enumeration is in conformity with
an order of the federal government
winch originated in the general con-
ference of Catholic bishops held in
Washington, D. c., last July. Every
parish will be enumerated. The re.
ports are to be sent to Archbishop
Glennon of st. Louis before they are
forwarded to Washington. Officials at
Washington have expressed themselves
as dissatisfied with the statistics as
to the number of the Catholics in the
! n'ted States, Another purpose is to
hnd out the relative proportion of the
Catholics in this country to the whole
number of people. 1t is thought that
the total number will be 20,O0o.OoO.

MENDED HIS SPINAL CORD.
Patient in New York City Hospital Receivers
from Remarkable Operation.

Alexander Adreh who had his spina
cord severed by bullet about four years
ago, will soon be discharged from the City
hospital on Blackwell's Island entirely well
says New York despatch. This case has
attracted the attention of the medical fra
ternity, owing to the remarkable success OF
the operation by which the ends of the sew
cred cords were drawn together.
Adrehi was shot in the back during q
street fight in Brooklyn. When he was TAX
en- to the hospital the lower part of his
body was completely paralyzed. The bull
let passed between the tenth and eleventh
vertebrae. They were both badly shattered
In an article in The Annals of Surgery on
the operation DR.. Fowler said:
IAN incisfon was made, six inches long
over the spines of the vertebrate directly
over the eleventh vertebra. The leminae OF
the tenth, eleventh and twelfth vertebrae
were removed by chisel. The bullet was
found lying transversely between the sew
cred ends of the cord, concealed from view
by large blood clot. very narrow, rag
ged and confused strip of membrane, scarce
" more than an eighth Of an inch in width,
remained intact. The blood clot was care
fully sponged away and the bullet removed,
The ends of the cord were then sutured
with three fine chromiczed catgut sutures,
the membrane being included in the su,
lures The membrane was further secured
with number of sutures of fine catgut, and
drain consisting of half-dozen strips OF
oil silk protective introduced. The skin IN
cisiOn was sewed with silkworm gut.
Less than a month after the operation
the patient was able to move his toes, and
the following November he was able to SIT
up Electricity and massage treatment
were then used. After a while Adrehi was
rugged up in a cage chair, something like
that used by babies when learning to walk
During the winter of 1905 he began to feel
sensations in his body below the wound.
Twenty.si months after the injury he was
able to stand by resting his hands on a
chair. Adrehi can now walk up and down
stairs without the use of crutches or braces.
This is said to be the only operation of its
kind to have resulted successfully.

From time immemorial there had been

England, to the effect that the mayor
had the best of everything in town, and,
for instance, if one should say he had

the words, Except the mayor" One day
