MOISSANT HAS
 A NASTY FALL
Barely Escapes When His MonOplane Takes Tumble Near Seven Oaks, in England, Near
 London-Can Not Fly Again.

London, Aug. 22.-John B. Moissant, the American aviator, was again baf- fled this morning in an attempt io complete his Paris-London flight With a passenger which started so auspic- iously last Tuesday evening. He as cended twice this morning in an en- deavor to cover comparatively the short distance from Londan, but could not make any headway and made a second forced descent. He damaged his machine so seriously that he will be unable to resume his flight for twenty-four hours.
 On the second ascent heavy gust of wind caught the monoplane and flung it down bodily 100 feet, just missing one of the high hedges bcr- dering the English roadways.
 Moissant avoided it by an abrupt swerve and the machine landed in a field. The wheels used in starting buckled. the rudder and \propeller were broken and parts of the frame work were smashed. Moissant and the mechanic, Filoux, narrowly es- capped injury. Moissant and the mach inc are now at Seven Oaks, about twenty miles from Upchurch, and an equal distance from London.

THAT NEW ROAD.

An announcement for which Stutt- gart has been anxiously awaiting, has been made, and construction on the Stuttgart and Rice Belt'' will start Monday.
 This is al. announcement of the ut- most importance to this city; for; though the company responsible for the project is independent, it is gen. orally believed that the Rock Island is behind the proposition.
 The new road will run from Mesa. where it connects with the Searcy branch of the Rock Island. to Stutt- gart. Later, it is proposed to extend the road south to the Arkansas river, which will give about hundred of miles of line through the heart of Grand Prairie, the richest agricultural section in the state. If this is Rock Island proposition, this may mean the nucleus of a trunk fine, which would further increase it's importance to this section.
 But, whoever is behind the project. or wherever it may ultimately go, the road is worth thousands of dollars to Stuttgart, and will mean new era ill it's welfare.-Stuttgar Arkansawyer.
