Count Zeppelin's airship, the Deutsch-

top of Teutoborgian forest pierced
with trees and a mass of debated
silk and twisted aluminium. Thirty

not powerful enough to make progress
In the gale. The airship drifted
swaying In violent gusts, sometimes
leaning at an angle of forty degrees
The broken motor was repaired, but
the great craft swung about at the
mercy of the wind, blowing fifty miles
an hour. 1t was suddenly perceived
that whirlwind was approaching and
the airship ascended to height
four thousand feet to escape the
worst. With the whirlwind came an
avalanche of rain.
The forward motor again failed and
the Deutschland sank rapidly, having
lost much gas In the high altitude and
dragged along the top of the trees. A
tree broke through the cabin, throwing
two of the guests to the floor Other
branches ripped the gas compart

down on the top of trees, thirty fee

the fault Of the Zeppelin system. L
Is our fault. The benzine ran out"
The ship cost more than a hundred

MAINE DEMOCRATS
PERFORM | MIRACLE
Many S0FpFiseS Sprung On the Repab-
neans Of that State In the Election
Yesterday

Portland. Me, Sept. 13.-Maine went
democratic yesterday. 1t elected Fred
erick W. Plaisted. Of Augusta a dem
Ocrat, as governor; upset the hitherto
solid republican congressional delega-
four OF the districts. and to the sur
prise of the political leaders, demo-
Gratis as well as republicans, the re-
turns at a late hour indicate the pos
sibility that the next state legislature
will be democratic The Senate will
surely have democratic majority.
The house complexion is in doubt. Re-
turns from all but forty-eight Of the
election districts of the state showed a
plurality for Plaisted for governor OF
$500.
There will be at least sixteen demo-
cratic senators out Of thirty-one, and
out OF ISL in the next legislature, with
indications that the democratic party
will have the choosing Of a successor
to United States Senator Eugene Hale
next winter.
In the face Of the sweeping demo-
cratic victory, the republican leaders
were overwhelmed with surprise and
the magnitude of their success
astonished even the most sanguins
democrat.
1t was the first beating the repub.
licans OF Maine, the state OF Blaine
and Reed. had had in thirty years, and
by a coincidence Harris NJ. Plafsted

was Names last democratic governor
