WINS LAHM CUP.
Forbes Breaks All Speed and Long
Distance Records. .~-..

Richmond, Va. Oct. 14.-Winning
the Lahm cup for the longest flight
made in a balloon under the auspices
of the Aero Club of America and
breaking all speed records for long
distance flights, A Holland Forbes of
New York and Max Freshman of
Cincinnati landed yesterday at 1915
in Chesterfield county, 20 miles south
of Richmond. The trip was made in
the balloon New York in which
Forbes won the duration contest in
the Indianapolis contest.
Starting from the gas works in st.
Louis at $50 Tuesday afternoon. the
distance of 731A miles was made in
10 hours and 15 minutes, at an aver
age of SO miles an hour. The balloon
passed Lynchburg at 1880 O'Clock.
Soon after noon an apparently large
BODY of water was seen ahead and g.
large town came into view below. Mr..
Forbes and his companion, realizing
thought the water might be Chesa-
peake bay and the city of Norfolk and
decided to descend. The hazy weather
helped to deceive the aeronauts in
this respect, and 1t was not until after
a landing was made they discovered
water the James river. Mr.. Forbes
and Mr.. Fleishmann came to Rich
mond, as soon as they could get their
balloon to railroad point. Mr..
Fleishmann left last night for his
home In Cincinnati while Mr.. Forbes
took the $40 train this morning for
New York.
Thirty minutes after ascending the
balloon attained a height of 5000
feet and during the day an average of
1000 feet was maintained, while
maximum of 5000 feet was reached.

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's

standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial
Proof is abundant that it has cured

Detroit, Oct. 14.-The wreck of
the freight steamer George Stone. of

to the history of marine disasters on

MAY DEFER BOND ISSUE.
Missouri Pacific Likely to Wait Until
Close of Year.

Missouri Pacific Likely to Wait Until
Close of Year.
. New York, Oct 14.-That the new
bond issue of the Missouri Pacific is
likely to be deferred until after the
close of the year is the opinion ex-
pressed by bankers affiliated with the
Gould roads. Much more time than
had been expected will be required for
arranging the technical details of the
mortgage securing the bonds. Slow
progress is necessarily made because
of the fact that in many of the states
through which the Missouri Pacific
lines operate notice of from 60 to 90
days is required to the different COM
missions or state railroad authorities
before new bond issue can be f1oated.
The hardening of money rates, it is
thought, will prove another tendency
to defer public offering on the bonds
Bankers are looking for fairly stiff
money rates for the rest of the year,
and that condition is one which will
not facilitate the f1otation of the new
bond issue.
1t is likely that the Missouri Pacific
will not be the only road to hold back
financing, particularly such involving
bond instead of stock issues, until early
next year. The immediate require
meitS of the Missouri Pacific, it is I'M
Gerstood, are not pressing, and the
company, it is stated, will suffer no in
convenience by reason of a further
delay of few months in completing
and putting into execution it's financial
plan.
