markabIe Demonstration
of Appreciation
LRx Associated Press.l

LONDON, May 3.-There was DEM
onstration of remarkable enthusiasm
at the Institute of Civil Engineers to-
night when the Aeronautical society of
Great Britain conferred on Wilbur and
Orville Wright, the aeroplanists of
Dayton, Ohio, it's first gold medal.
The spectators cheered repeatedly
while the Wright brothers blushingly
bore their honors through an hour of
the warmest eulogies.
Finally the entire assemblage arose
and gave three cheers for each of the
brothers. They sang For They Are
Jolly Good Fellows and ended by
cheering Miss Katherine Wright.
Sir Hiram Maxim, Lieutenant Colo
mel Baden-Powell, Captain F. S. Cody,
an American who is struggling but
this far unsuccessfully to perfect his
aeroplane for the British army, and q
large number of scientists and ladies
were present.
Aviators Not Spoiled
Speeches were made by Colonel Ba-
en-Powell, Colonel J. Capper, the war
Offices aeronautical expert, who re-
ferred to the Wrights as "unspoiled as
though they were nobodies,' and by
the chairman of the gathering, Edward
Purl1in Frost, who presented the medal.
Wilbur and Orville Wright made
brief speeches, expressing their
thanks.
A reception then was held and the
brothers were surrounded, questioned
and besieged for autographs. Earlier
in the evening they were given a din
ner at the Ritz hotel by the Aeronauti-
cal society.
The war office is not likely to con-
clude arrangements with the inventors
until their aeroplane has been given
a trial in England in the presence of
experts.
Engagements in the United States
and Germany, however, preclude the
possibility of the Wrights being able
to attend to this personally for some
months but they have arranged with
a builder here for the construction
Of machines and have appointed an
agent for Great Britain.
Their patents therefore will be pro-
tected, and they expect to sell privately
even If the government does not pur-
chase.

he would be IN Broad Street Station
Sunday night. She met the train. and
Perry sprang down from the car to

train was detained there. AS the en-

Ira Simpson and Edward West were
engineers of the locomotives of the n.

Seeking the Responsibility.
superintendent Whitney began an in

bility for the accident shortly after his
arrival. Late in the afternoon he said
he had no statement TO make as TO the
responsibility, as the Investigation was
still under way. IL is customary for
the n. Y. p. and N. locomotives to re-
main on the tracks south OF Delmai

FATHER MURPHY WINS FIGHT
Court Dissolves Order Restraining
Him from Acting as Priest.
sUPERsEDEAs BOND REFUSED
bishop VIII Appeal, But
in Meantime the Priest VIII Con
tinue His work At
ulysses.

SEWARD, Neb., July ~9o.-tspecial Tele-
am.EFather Murphy, priest OF the
church Of the Immaculate Conception at
Ulysses in court today scored another
point In his contest with Bishop Bonacum
Of the Lincoln diocese Of the Catholic
church.
Some weeks ago Bishop Bonacum APP
peared before Judge DUNCAN Of the district
court at Hastings and secured a temporary
order restraining Father Murphy from
preaching or acting as priest at Ulysses or
at any other place in the Lincoln diocese.
The order was aimed more particularly at
Seward and Ulysses, at both Of which
places Father Murphy had officiated as
priest in charge. The case was set for
hearing at Seward and yesterday fixed as
the date. All Of yesterday and most Of
today was consumed in taking testimony
and making arguments. This afternoon
Judge DUNCAN rendered his opinion, refus-
ing to make the temporary order perma-
nent. The suit was dismissed and the re-
straining order dissolved.
Attorneys for Bishop Bonacum at once
announced tina an appeal would be taken
to the supreme court and asked to be al
lowed to file a supersedeas bond. This
would have the effect Of continuing the
temporary order until the supreme court
has passed upon the appeal and Judge
DUNCAN at once announced thai he would
not permit 1t.
After the decision hundreds of friends
OF Father Murphy who had come to town
to listen to the proceedings, gathered about
him. shook him by the hand and gave him
. regular ovation. During its progress he
announced that he had no hard feelings
against anyone and that 1t was simply a
question Of RICH prevailing over wrong.
He then stated that next Sunday regular
services will be held in the church OF the
Immaculate Conception in Ulysses and tina
he will be in charge, say mass and preach
the sermon.
