with the train, fell in the river, swan
out, hurried to the nearest telephone
and phoned for assistance and all the
available doctors The work train had
just arrived and having steam up, a
relief train was hurried to the scene.
The wrecked train was due here at 5
o'clock, and the engine had just cleared
the bridge when the center span gave
way. The activity of Engineer Will
liam Ostrander saved the engine from
piling on top of the other cars in the
ravine. Ostrander set the brakes and
the train parted at the tender, twisting
the rods and the engineer was seriously
injured by the reversing lever. The
tender now rests on top the coach, II

The Indian corn crop for 1908.
amounted to 2.643.OOO.O 900 bushels. The
crops OF three years have exceeded
this, but only the crop of one year
(19O6) exceeded 1t very much. The
value Of the crop is estimated at ST..
615,00O.0O0. The price of corn is ex.
ceptionally high. There are only two
years in which the farm price of this
crop was as high as 1t is for this year.
In 1881 the price was 63.6 cents; in
1901, when there was only two-thirds
of an ordinary crop. the price was
sos cents. The total value of this
crop is by far the highest ever reach
ed. The crop Of 1902 was worth bill
lion dollars. and the crops Of 1904,
1905 and 1906 we're worth 800 900. 900

Inventor Drives Damaged Craft to
Earth and Slides Down Rope.
East St. Louis, ILL.,, June IA cast
away in the skie- through the breaking
of his guide rope, which formed his
only connection with the earth, and
later an areonsut on the ground, with
his ship floating away through space,
pursued on the ground by an automo-
bile, Claude M. Zellers, one-legged
inventor, tonight contributed new
pages to the history of aeronautics.
In machine of no tpye known to
aeronautics, invented by William
Smith, cattle-dealer, and described
as the largest aeroplane in the world,
Zellers flew from East st. Louis this
afternoon at 80 o'clock. When 100
feet up the guide rope became ell
tangled in an apple tree and snapped,
leaving the aviator castaway. He
sailed 40 miles in zigzag course and
succeeded in making hazardous land
ing at Belleville, 20 miles from where
he started.
Zellers was unable to stop his ma
chinery, but pointed the nose of his
craft toward the ground and allowed il
to shoot down like meteor until the
end of the broken rope trailed on the
ground. Just as Zellers slid down the
rope, a distance of 70 feet, it broke
and the dirigible, its engines going
full speed, scared into the sky without
pilot.
Zellers pursued the baylor time in
an automobile, but could not keep II
with it.
