Wellman, who is at the home of her
sister, Mrs. George Clark, in this city,
received this cablegram Friday:
Started. Encountered storm. Every
thing saved. Ship success.

from the tone Of the cablegram the
undertaking was SO promising that her

Tromsoe, Norway Sept. l4.--Walter
Wellman and his party composing the
Wellman Chicago Record-Herald ex-
petition arrived here last evening on
the Frithjof from Spitzbergen. Mr..
Wellman says the airship America left
her shed September 2 and made an as
cent in bad weather, but she proved SO
strong and behaved so well that start
north was Immediately made. The
airship, however, encountered a storm,
was driven back, and landed on top OF
glacier. Everything was saved.
When the airship left the shed 1t was
anchored to a steamer, the Express,
which helped to tow it to Vogel bay
island, two miles northward to Camp
Wellman. Rosenberg and Vandman
occupied the car. The motor was
found to work splendidly and when 1t
was started, drove the America ahead
of the steamer. 1t was found that the
Eairship answered her helm well. on
Vogel bay island the America was
freed from her anchor ropes, but an
increasing gale and driving snow
storm beat her backward over the
mainland of Spitzbergen. Seeing the
hopelessness of attempting to battle
with the gales, the valves were opened
and the balloon quickly descended on
a glacier.

evident and the rain floods of the last week have
flushed the and swept the deposits that had

Just below Albany. where the river Is contam-

towns as to be absolutely filthy.
Statistics show that typhoid fever is OF frequent

recent thaw and food in the Mohawk and upper
Hudson rivers has been the means of bringing
down vast quantities of surface filth. The earth
being frozen, the waste from towns villages and
