Bonne parish but these were not be- ifeved, and 1t was not for . day or more that 1t was definitely establish ed that fully fifty persons had lost their lives there. These. together with persons killed here and there through out Mississippi as well q. Louisiana brought the death list up to seventy five. but as the rescue boats pushed their way further south through the bayous of STerre Bonne they returned only to report further loss of life.
 Finally the death list in Terre
 Bcnne alone passed the hundred mark and yesterday conservative estimates |of the total number of dead ranged between 15O and ITS At a late hour last night dispatch boats returning from Dunbar, La, between New Or- leans and Bay St. Louis. Miss, brought the news of the discovery of thirty six bodies in one section alone. This
 made the number of those definitely known to have lost their lives approx limateiy 200. and led to the belief that there are possibly still more undis-, covered bodies in the Louisiana
 marshes between this city and the Mississippi State line.
 Many stories of endurance. heroism
 and sacrifice continue to be added to
 the incidc nts of Mondays hurricane. One of the most striking examples or courage in the face of almost over-
 whelming obstacles. was reported at
 Morgan City, La, today. Dick Tay- Tor, residing several miles south of
 that town. after seeing his wife and three children engulfed in an onrush- ing torrent, before he could save any one of them, managed to keep his
 head above water for few moments. After some time he heard a baby's cry,
 and found the last of his children
 floating on a piece of timber. At that
 moment one of Taylors hands was
 bitten by a moccasin snake. In some
 manner he managed to rip off part of
 his shirt. bound up his wrist and
 guided the frsil raft during Q period
 of forty-eight hours before help reach-
 ed him. His child was saved and 1t
 Is possible that he may recover.

PLAN FOR FLIGHTS
WRIGHT AND cURTIss ARE TUN-
 ING UP.
Expect To Execute Daring aEanOeuveFa AHoft--wright Will Practice Starting From P0nt0sns
 fm Water.

New York. sept. 2s--TheEaeropianes of wilbur wright and elem H. Cur tiss rest tonight in their sheds on Gov srnor's Island. practically ready to soar forth to demonstrate the conquest of the air.
 Both aviators may attempt flights tomorrow. They will seek to demon strate that they have perfect control of their machines. It will in fact be an exhibition of scientific accuracy in aeroland- soaring, gliding and turning like birds of the air.
 In one of his flights Curtiss will att tempt to cross the bay and circle the Statue of Liberty. Also he may at tempt some experiments in the matter of speed, for which he holds the worlds record, made recently abroad.
 Wright said today that in addition to essaying sharp turns of more or less scientific nature, he would. if the opportunity presented itself, try to glide with the motor stopped. As the machine falls at the average rate of one foot for every eight which it traV- els forward, Mir. Wright hopes to dem onstrate its equilibrium. He proposes to make his first preliminary flight to- morrow afternoon. but does not intend to leave the confines Of the aerodroms at Governors Island.
 Curtiss Is planning to equip his aero- plane with two pontoons. so that he will be able to alight on the water If weather conditions are favorable, he may continue experiments in rising from the water in an effort to demon- strate the utility of the aeroplane for the navy.
 After getting his aeroplane running smoothly, Curtiss will try to speed up the Hudson some time this week. pass. ing the skyscrapers on one side ano the masts of the battlesnips on the other, with an aerial buoy over Grant Tomb as the turning marks.

New York, Sept. 26--The safiornaen of leiEht- nations--England, Germany, Italy
 France, Holland, Mexico, Argentine and
 the United States--shuffled along the
 streets of New York today. mingling
 with visitors from North. South, East
 and West. who are. here for the Hua-
 son-Fulton celebration. Beginning at
 noon Riverside Drive began to fill up rapidly and at o'clock was again un- lcomfortably crowded.
 l The Half Moon and the Clermont lay quietly at their anchorages where they
 will remain until the naval parade of

 pioneers. escorted by the light draft
 warships and followed by the mer-

 to Newburgh where they will be turn ed over to the Albany upstate divis- ion of the celebration and the festivi-
 ties In New York city will ends | But circling about the fleet of bat
 tleships today there was an almost
 unbroken line of deep sea excursion
 steamers tammed to the rails with spectators. At the same time a scur- rying flotilla of motor boats was boh-
 ping about on the roughened waters Of
 the river carrying viistors to and from
 those battleships which were receiv- ing for the day.
 American officers spoke today of the splendid appearance presented by the
 British flagship Inflexible Spic and span in her new paint and dressed from stem to stern in white awnings
 her graceful lines were more remark ed tod&y than those of ahy other ship on the river
 Special Hudson Fulton services were conducted In all the churches. A form of prayer prescribed for the occasion by Bishop Greer of the Epis- lcopal Church and Archbishop Farley of the Roman Catholic Church was read in every parish of the diocese Many who could not get into Old Trin. tty crowded the church yard to view the garlanded grave of Robert Fu,- l ton.
 At the marble collegiate church specially invited members of the con greRation were the officers of the
 Dutch cruiser Utrecht. General Leon ard Wood, U. S. A.. commanding the Department of the East and M. R. van R. Turner, of the Hudson-Fulton commission of the Netherland. Twenty-Five million dollars, compe- tent authorities, estimate as the sum

The Open-Car Clamor.

From the Lowell Courier-Citfzen.
This demand for open street cars in
winter, which is springing up in various
cities. is a little amusing in one respect.
Everybody knows what a kick is made
when open cars are sent out on a chilly
day in the early fall or late summer. be-
fore il is time permanently to retire them
to the barns for the season. Then they
are called pneumonia cars, and much adj
verse comment is made on the stupidity
of the management guilty OF such poor
Judgment and indifference to the COM
fort and health of patrons. Still, such
cars on such a day are at least well
ventilated, and good ventilation of pub ic
vehicles Is what an increasing share OF
the travelling public is demanding. Per-
sons properly clad can enjoy riding in an
open electric car as well as in an open
motor car. and with far less danger TO
health than IL riding in hot, stuffy and
ill-ventilated closed car. 1t will be OF In
terest to see the experiment tried. The
Portland road will try 1t and the Boston
elevated may put on few open cars
when the weather gets cold enough be
will not take long to show whether my
are wanted.
