Naples, July 12.-Lated develop
ments in the explosion on board the
North Carolina indicate that the acci-
dent was of a graver nature than the
officers of the cruiser cared to admit.
Corporal Maloney also was badly
injured in the explosion, it being stat
ed that he was completely blinded in
both eyes, Several other men were
wounded, but less seriously.
An enormous quantity of gas had
been generated by the 800 tons of coal
in the hold and naval officers are at a
loss to know why Aiken permitted a
lighted candle to be taken into such a
dangerous place. Immediately on the
explosion the commanding officer with
a force of men stamp out the fire,
which otherwise might have commu-
nicated to the powder magazine
Aiken was terribly burned about the
body and head. The North Carolina
being anchored at the end of Santa
Lucia Harbor, half a mile from the
docks, the explosion passed unnoticed

What Gentleman Who Has Travelled

During the past twelve months /
have visited every city of Importance
in the Middle West and in the South,

such substantial growth as 1 find here
in Goldsboro,''' said gentleman
much travelled to The Argus man to-

Certain it is that no city Of it's
class has made such handsome i'm
provements in the building line as
Goldsboro. 1 first visited Goldsboro
ten years ago, and while many opti-
mists were making great prophecies
then, l doubt if any one expected to
see such a well-built city as greets
the eye today.
'The development has been extern
i've, especially within the past three

inside of another three years far
greater things will be accomplished
In 1920 Goldsboro should be the larg-

WRIGHT MAKES A FLIGHT.
Aeroplane Attains the Exceptional
Speed of Forty Miles an Hour.

Washington, d. c., July 12.-Orville
Wright this evening made a very sue
cessful light in the Wright aeroplane
at Fort Meyer, Va, remaining in the
air five minutes and thirty seconds,
during which time the machine attain
ed the exceptional speed of forty
miles an hour and circled the parade
grounds half dozen times, total
distance of about three and one-half
miles.
A strong breeze prevented the
Wright brothers from starting the
aeroplane Immediately after it was
brought from the shed. While waiting
for favorable conditions, they exam
ined the machine carefully and chat
ted with prominent persons, who had
gone over from Washington to wit
ness the trial.
With Count Won Bernstorff, German
ambassador, the Wrights talked at
length, explaining the workings of the
machine. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
daughter of ex-President Roosevelt,
enthusiastically examined the areo-
plane, as did Secretary of the Navy
Meyer.
When the signal finally was given
to start, the machine shot forward
and mounted gracefully into the light
breeze Orville Wright guided the fly
er to the lower end of the large pa
rade ground and circled around to-
4 vi,
ing higher from the ground.
Six times he rounded the course,
the machine attaining an average
speed of about forty miles an hour, ac-
cording to Mr. Wright.
After passing the crowd the sixth
time, the aviator decided to make a
landing because the motor occasional
ly was missing a spark. He descend
ed easily and alighted with no appar-
ent jar, the machine sliding smoothly
over the ground until it came to a
stop at point near the shed.
Both of the Wrights expressed
themselves as pelased with the per-
Torrance. They intend to make only
short flights until the new bearings
have become worn down and the pro-
pelling motor is working perfectly.
When these things have adjusted
themselves to the satisfaction of the
aviators they intend tG attack their
main task, to which these minor
flights are preliminary-that of salts
flying the conditions prescribed by the
government for the official test.
