IN TINE TO SEE
FIANCEE WE'D
ANOTHER
Man Crossed Ocean Think
ing lie Was to Be the
Bridegroom.

HoBOKEN, Sept. 25.-When the
steamship Noordam, of the Holland
American line, arrived at her pier in
Hoboken she had on board one pas
senger who. as the sequel proved, was
doomed to the keenest disappointment
imaginable. Ernest van Arnheim he
was, a native of Limoges, n had
started for the United States for the
express purpose of marrying the sweet
heart of his early years. Frieda Edel-
hoff, who had gone out TO join an uncle
at Grand Rapids, Mich, a short time
before.
He had known the girl in Europe
for about two years prior to her de-
parture for the United States, and
when they parted on the pier at Rot
terdam there was the usual degree Of
fervent protestations of eternal dew
ton and entreaties not to lose any time
In coming out to meet her and make
her his own for life. Van Arnheim
naturally was not slow to promise, and
as the sequel showed proved true to
his promise. Strangely enough, shortly
before he left Limoges he received a
letter from a friend of his, who had
come To ftODOken dnu was SldyiuB At
the Hotel Amsterdam. IN Hudson
street. The letter further stated that
the proprietor of the hotel had been
heard to say that a Arnheim's sweet
heart was expected on a certain date
to be married. Naturally Van Arm
helm considered himself the prospec-
tive groom, and was proportionately
happy.
When the Noordam arrived Van
Arnheim wac one of the passengers,
having determined to surprise his
sweetheart. AS soon as the steamship
locked he had his baggage checked
and hurried to the Hotel Amsterdam.
Just in time" Mr.. Baans, the propri~
etor said to him, after he had spoken
to him. 1--WE want a witness to a
wedding that is to TAX place in the
parlor upstairs"
Van Arnheim was ready and was a
few minutes later ushered upstairs.
where to his establishment he found
himself face to face with his sweet
heart. At first he did not wish to Off
ciate, but he and the bridegroom got
to talking the thing over n finally
consented. The couple were married
by Justice of the Peace George T.
Seymour, the groom being George Ba-
dois, of Detroit.

ON PARADE
COUNT ZEPPELIN ACHIEVES
GREAT SUCCESS.
Maneuvers in the Air Over Lake Con.
stance and Attains Greater Speed
Than Steamers.

CONSTANCE, Baden, Germany, Sept. %.
Count Ferdinend Zeppelin, the German
%aeronaut. yesterday made the most sue
cessful aerial voyage hitherto achieved in
any dirigible balloon. He spent four hours
and seventeen minutes in the air, COM
pletely eir-cumnavigating the lake of Con-
stance. The speed Of the airship is esti-
mated to have been at least thirty-eight
miles an hour. When both motors were IN
operation il easily outdistanced the numer-
Gus steamers laden with observers that
followed on the lake.
Count Zeppelin, who is SO years old. was
in command of the airship. which bears
his name. He had with him two as
s~istants and a crew Of seven men TO run
the motors. The airship executed the most
diverse evolutions possible with the great
est ease. 1t paraded back and forth be-
fore the windows of the royal castle at
Friedrichshafen. making the turns on a
very small radius. and coming down the
-homeward stretch it aseended or descended
at the will of the pilot. at times almost
dipping into the water and then rising TO
a height of 600 feet.
The balloon used is on a rigid frame.
42p feet long over all. It holds Il 900 cubic
metres of gas.
Count Zeppelin has worked with uHtiring
energy for years past at the development
of a steerabie balloon He devoted his
W fortune 10 his experiments, which AT
one time left him practically psnniless.
The lake OF Constance has been the field
OF his ventures, aud while some Of his
flights In the past have been comparatively
successful. on several occasions his balloon
has been wrecked and he narrowly escaped
injury.

became known last winter a powerful com
pany was formed. under the patronage of
Emperor William, to experiment with his
system.
Germany, France aud Great Britain have
each within the past few weeks attained a
notable degree of success with military
dirlgible balloons. The Parseval balloon
made several ascents over Berlin, remain
Ing in the air for an hour or more. and
attaining a speed of TWEEN ty-four miles.
In July, the French airship La Petrie
Unanswered successfully over Paris. With
four men on board it remained Ia the air
for an hour and a half at an average
height Of about 300 feet. and travelled at
the rate Of t~hirty-one miles an hour. Con-
sequent upon this performance the French
Minister Of War asked for a credit Of 81
100000 for the construction Of dirlgible
balloons of the Patrie type.
In England. while the SUCCESS attained
was not so striking as in France and Ger
many, the military dirigibie balloon that
was tried September 10 proved itself
capable of being easily handled. able To
travel with and against the wind, and,
most important OF all, capable of being
steered.
The basic idea Of Count Zeppelin's ex-
periments has been a balloon inclosed IN n
ligid aluminium framework, and driven BIZ
a motor.

David Christie, who takes the first train
in the morning, had been in the habit OF
awakening Reeves, but yesterday was I'M
able to arouse him, and, thinking that the
agent had gone to his clearinghouse, made
no extra efforts. Two hours had elapsed
and the station had not been opened. The
passengers gathered there became excited
and inquired at Reeves's boarding
house, but ascertained that the agent had
not slept there overnight. Through the
windows passengers saw the form of a man
on the floor. but they could get no re-
Spouse to knocks. About 7 o'clock Hen
nessey. the assistant, came on duty and
opened the door. The crowd rushed in.
Reeves was still alive, although it was
apparent that he had been a~sphyxiated by
leaking gas. Doors and windows were
thrown wide open 20 admit fresh air, and
passengers, after considerable efforts. sue

ness. The leak was finally discovered and

MESERVE GONE,
GUARDS ARE QUIET
Secretary Of WOTkhOuSe TruS.
tees Does Not Expect
New Developments

Contrary to expectation. the trustees Of
the New Castle County workhouse did not
hold a meeting to-day to consider for a
second time the complaints Of the recently
discharged guards of the institution that
they had been ousted from their positions
without cause. 1t is probable further
more. that the matter will not be dis
cussed again by the trustees.
William p. Windish. one Of the dis
charged men. said this morning that he
had decided on no new move in the mat
ter for the present. From other sources it
was learned that another audit OF the
accounts of the institution would be asked
for, that the contracts between the former
warden and persons who furnish the in
stitution with supplies may be examined
At the recent audit Of the finances Of the
institution this detail was not looked into.
J. Frank Ball. secretary Of the trustees
said that he did not expect fresh develop
ments in the matter The trouble at the
workhouse he said, centered around the
charge of insubordination against the
guards and not about any complaint
against Mr.. Meserve. who, Mr.. Ball de-
clared. could have remained as chief war
den of the workhouse as long as he de-
sired.
Mr.. Meserve left this city yesterday for
Vermont where he will erect prison for

Buried beneath several tons Of earth

Alexander Hayes. aged 46 years. a
colored laborer. working on the found

Tenth and Orange streets. today.
That he was not killed was a mir

work of rescue and for few minutes
dirt few in every direction. II
didn't take long to extricate the man,
but when he was pulled out from his
dangerous position it was found that
one of his legs had been broken and
he sustained other injuries. The
Phoenix ambulance removed him "a
the Delaware Hospital.
Other Men Escaped.
Hayes. who lives in Elsmere. was
digging with three other men at the
place where the cave-in occurred, but
his companions got out of the way

The heavy Stag on the surface. which
another workman was prying loose
with an iron bar. caused the slide OF
earth.
Fortunately Hayes was working be-
hind cart. and when the big piec.
Of Stag fell they dropped on top of tn.
cart. The horse was lifted off It's
feet. Two OF the larger pieces of
Stag fell in such a position as to be-
come wedged in a kind of archway
over Hayes's head. which presented
his skull from being crushed TO a
pulp.
The presence Of iron Stag on the
ground is due to the fact that years
ago the Rice iron foundry occupied q
part of the site on which the Y. M

Hayes's condition is such that the
physicians at the hospital say he will
recover.
