.horities.

According to a reliable report IN
circulation last night warrants will
be issued To-Day for the arrest of Ed
ward J. Post, the promoter" who
left Hampton suddenly several days
ago. II is sad that the Philadelphia
police were asked TO locate Post ana
the report has it that he will have
several charges to face. 1t is known
that Post left behind him here at
least fifteen worthless checks.
Yesterday a bank here received
from Philadelphia another of the
checks given by Post for $25. The
check will be returned to the Quaker
City bank with the notation mo
funds"
Post called up the home of Dr..
HAIRY d. Howe. in Victoria avenue,
Sunday and asked Mrs. Howe. who
answered the call. to inform him why
Mrs. Post had left Hampton and what
had become OF her. Mrs. Howe told
Post it was unns cessary for him 60
be told CT the reasons that lead Mrs.
Pest TO leave here and added that the
woman was provided with the means
Of getting to Philadelphia through the
benefit ball game and by ne.ghbors
who felt sorry for her. Post then
hung up his Phone and nothing furth-
or has been heard from him.
A few days before Pest decided to
qiit Hampton without bidding his
friends hood bye. he had arranged TO
have a number of houses erected for
mon OF small means. He consulted
with several contractors and had ar
ranged to start work Immediately.

TEN Bio BALLOONS IN
RACE ACROSS COUNTRY
Passing over ST. Louis at Height OF
Five Hundred Feet, Racers Start
Southeast.

ST. LOUIS. MO-. Oct. 4.--With at
mospheric conditions ideal ten bal
Ions sailed from st. Louis this after
noon toward the southeast.
The passage above the city from
the grounds of the Aero Club was
made at height of 500 feet Sixty
thousand persons, many centennia!
week visitors, were on the Aero Club
grounds
Two of the balloons. the OPERA AMI
Missouri had gas bags Of 10000 cubic
feet and were in special race. The
others were $4,000 cubic footers and
raced for medals and prizes. The
smaller gas bags are expected to re-
main in the air eighteen hours and
the larger ones forty hours. By
morning they ought to be over Ken
lucky or Tennessee unless the wind
changes.
The Cleveland was the first to get
away in the race of the big balloons
1t was followed by st. Louis III. Cen
tennial Pommery. New York. Univers-
ity City. Indiana and Hoosier. Be
cause II. II. McGill, pilot of the lndi-
ana had not received his license his
entry failed under protest and his
eligibility will be settled later
The Hoosier was disqualified as
DR.. p. NJ. Crume is not licensed pi-
lot. However. he sailed away for the
sport of balloOning.
All the balloons carried as much
ballast as possible and expect to make
long flights Under the conditions in
which they sailed they will not have
to let out gas until late tomorrow
The I.ahm cup now held by Captain
F. De Forest Chandler is one of the
prizes sought by the aerOnauts. A
| fight of more than AS miles will get
il.
The Indiana basket carried ham
mock in which McGill rested. He was
injured on the grounds and sailed
against the advice of his physician. II
is thought the Indiana's trip and valve
rods are tangled. II this proves Sc
McGill will have a rough landing as
he cannot control his craft in the
usual way.

HOW THE MILITARY COMPANY
IS HANDICAPPED.

Newnort News can never hope to
boast of first class volunteer mill
tarv organization as long as 1t Is
necessary fer the newspapers to re-
mort that more than one -fourth OF the
entire M mbership of the one COM
pany in the city has to be excused
from drill to return to work on the
night Of the annual inspection. When
the Huntington Rifles assembled IN
the arnfory Saturday night to under
&c inspection by Col. Stern, the as
sistant State inspector general, all OF
the members except few who had
been excused for good reasons or
were cut of town, reported for duty
and answered roll call. Before the
inspection had been completed. how
ever. the commanding officer found It
nece ssary to excuse fifteen of the
men In order that they might return
to the stores in which they are en-
ploycd.
Gel. Stern found the company's
armory and equipment in fine shape
and comm nted especially upon the
up-to-data steel lockers. which were
bought with money appropriated for
the purpose by the city council. But
he found company more than
one-fourih the members of which
could not secure leave from their en-
plcycrs long enough TO be present
during the annual inspection, the most
important event OF the year in State
military circles. Col. Stern remarked
on this extraordinary condition, but
he probably did rot say half of what
he thought on the subject
II is true that the inspection came

of the week with the merchants, con-
