BALDWIN MAKES ASCENT.
His Dirigible Balloon Meets Speed
Requirement Of Government.

A dispatch from washington, says
Capt. Baldwin Friday fulfilled the
second requirement for the acceptan-
ce of his military dirigible balloon
I,Ny making two successful speed
trials at Fort Myer. A week ago
the air ship was accepted SO far as
construction is concerned.
Capt. Baldwin is allowed three
flighs to fulfil the endurance specifi-
cations. At 6.S. Friday evening the
dirigible shot across the starting
line headed in a northerly direction.
The course followed was new one
and lies in the direction of Cheresy-
dale, Va, two and a sixteenth miles
from the starting point.
On the home stretch the air ship
pulled evenly, and at greater rate
Of speed than it had ever attained
before, crossing the finishing line
at 6.4S, fifteen minutes after start
ing.
1t is expected the average speed
for the flight will be found to be 16 Y
miles.
After replenishing the supply of
gasoline, Capt. Baldwin made an
other official speed trial in order to
get abonus on his contract price of
s6,750.
At ITO the air ship crossed the
starting line the second time.
The air ship turned for the return
trip at TIT, having made the two
and one sixteenth miles in seven
minutes. The actual time for the
second flight was thirteen and three
quarter minutes.
1t is believed that the official
timers will figure Capt. Baldwin J
average time for the last test et
nineteen miles an hour. The con-
tract with the Government requires
that twenty miles an hour be made
in order that the contract price be
secured. For every mile less than
twenty made by Capt. Baldwin, Is
per cent will be deductd from the
contract price.

the action of the National Convention
! at Denver in selecting as th-estand-
ard bearers of the party in the ma
tional campaign VIM. J. Bryan, OF
Nebraska, and John w. Kern, of In
diana. We believe that Mr.. Bryan
stands out among all the public men
of the country as the embodiment OF
honesty, integrity, patriotism and
the other qualities which go to make
lup an ideal American statesman,
and that in Mr.. Kern, he has wor-
thy running mate who sizes up well
| to the great Office of Vice-President.
eve strongly commend the plat
form adopted at Denver, and believe
that it will set forth the principles
of progressive Democracy.
"In the face Of th egreat eXtraV-
agance of the present Republican
! Administration and its plain disre-
gard of the best interests of the peo-
ple we see on every side evidence OF
Democratic harmony, and we call
upon the State of New York, regard
less of party, to rally to the support
of Bryan and Kern, and take part IN
carrying the ticket to victory this
fall"
State Chairman W. ]. Conners'
when asked about the situation
throughout the State, replied:
"Wm. j.. Bryan will carry New
York State by from $4,000 to 1oo.-
900. Bryan is the strongest Demo-
crat in New York today. We Will
carry Erie, Niagara, Chenago and
fifteen or sixteen other counties.

situation, Mr.. Connors said he had
heard the names of Judge Alton B..
Parker mentioned as candidate.
'There is plenty Of good material
to pick FROM" said MIR. Conners.
Martin w. Littleton would make a

Ernest Rowe was playing with the
gun, which he thought was not load

load of shot entering the girls

Rowe begged some one to XIII hlm'
saying that the horror of what he had
done was more than he could bear,
and that if none of those present
would shoot him he would kill him
self. Little attention was paid to
what he said, but soon shot was
heard outside the house and on rush
ing out the crowd found Rowe wei

placed the gun under his right jaw
and the load had torn away the side
