Stuttgart, Aug. 5.-During a
storm today the Zeppelin airsh'p,
which had practically concluded the
most remarkable voyage in the his
tory of aerial navigation, was torn
from its anchorage near this city,
where it had come down for minor
repairs, was driven along about so
yards, when smoke and flames burst
out of the great balloon from one
end to the other. Then came an eX-
ploslon and a great column of flame
shot upward into the air. This was
followed by the crashing down to the
earth of the motors and frames that
had been attached to the underside
of the airship, several bystanders be-

sight was seen in the county clerks
office in Newport, KY, today, when
young man carried in his arms a
legless young woman to the license
counter and applied for a marriage
license. The pair gave their names
as John B. Rapp of Seattle, Wash.
and Pearl Ruppell, of Portland, Ind.
They went from Cincinnati in a cab
to the city across the Ohio river and
when the man stepped from the cab
with the young woman in his arms
he attracted a crowd. In the clerk $
office he placed her on the counter
while the document was being pre-
pared by the clerk, during which
time she chatted merrily with her
fiance. The young woman's legs
were amputated as the result of a
railroad accident. After securing the
license they went to parsonage and
were married.

CUNEHNS MAY RESIGN.
IBy Associated Press. ]

Des Mo;nes, Ia, Aug. 5.+Gover-
nor Albert NJ Cummins may resign
from his Office of chief executive and
be appointed, by Lieutenant Cover
nor Warren Garst who would then
become governor, as United States
senator from Iowa to succeed Will
liam b. Allison, who died yesterday
and who defeated Governor Cum
Minis for the republican senatorial
nomination only a few weeks ago b.
a very close margin.
The senatorial situation is the
leading topic of discussion in politi-
cal circles in Iowa today
That someone will be appointed to
occupy Senator Allison's seat for the
remaining months of the uneXpired
term is certain.
Last night Governor Cummins
said:
81 shall certainly make an effort to
succeed Senator Allison"
He refused, however, to say
whether he will make an effort to OBJ
tain tle senatorship for the unex-
pired portion of Senator Allison S
term. which ends March 4. 1909. He
declared that there is plenty of SEN
atorial timber in Iowa. but declined
10 discuss possible candidates for the
appointment.
Governor Cummins refused to
make any formal statement regard
ing his candidacy to succeed Senator
Alison. beyond the simple declara-
ton that he would make an effort to
be selected.
1t was suggested to the governor
that, if he should resign, the appoint
i've power would vest in Lieutenant
Governor Warren Garst of Iowa
This intimation that he might be-
come the junior senator of his state
Immediately brought no response
from Mr.. Cummins.
The governor made 1t plain, how
ever, that he believes his friends re-
gard him as the logical successor to
the senatorship. He declared that
Senator Allison had defeated him in
the recent primary election by a COM
paratively slender majority, and for
this reason he thought that his can
didacy would be received with favor
in the state.
He intimated that a majority of
the members of the legislature which
is TO elect a senator for the term be-
ginning March 4, 1909 are friendly
to him, and he was outspoken in his
hcpe that these men will vote for
him.
10 an Assoc dteu ffesS represent
atiye Governor Cummins said, in re-
spcnse to request for a statement
Cn the death of Senator Allison:
Senator Allison will be long re-
membered. not only in Iowa, but
throughout the whole country. He
rendered most useful service to the
nation during a public career which
for length has scarcely parallel in
the history of the United States.
''He was a calm. contemplative
man, aad for many years his coun-
sci has been more generally sought
than that Of any other man in pub
lie life. His death will be lamented
everywhere, but nowhere so pro-
foundly as among the people of To-
