PLANS FOR FIRST AERIAL
FERRY LINE IN AMERICA

NEW YORK, July 6.-According to
a Chicago morning newspaper a
sodiac dirigible balloon was brought
into New York July aboard the
steamship George Washington by
Stuart Davis of Providence, r. L, who
intends to establish the first actual
aerial ferry line in America.
In the near future the balloon is to
carry passengers on regular trips be-
tween Narragansett pier and Newport,
distance of eleven miles in an air
line. 1t is expected the line will be in
operation within the next six weeks.
The sodiac dirigible is 100 feet long
and non-rigid in construction. The
craft is to sail only on calm days, and
it is expected the trip will be made
within an hour. If the venture proves
successful other airships will be added
to the fleet.

CURTISS SAYS FLIGHTS
OVER SEA MORE CERTAIN
Remains in Air Over Ocean for
Twelve Minutes

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July g.
Glenn H. Curtiss this evening made an
other fight over the ocean, starting at
$50 and passing twelve minutes and
thirteen seconds in the air. Curtiss on
his return to the beach declared that
he is entirely satisfied that flying over
the sea is more certain than flights over
land, because of the less sudden change
in air currents.
FAILURE to clear an incoming wave
as he attempted his first start allowed
spray from the breakers to strike the
propeller of the machine moving at 1900
revolutions a minute.
The impact split one of the blades,
and Curtiss only saved himself from a
tumble by quick descent to the
beach.

shocks of unthreshed wheat caught
against trees and formed a dam that
turned the course of the waters. The
green leaves of corn, three feet high,
were seen waving up from the
lakes of water, miles in length.
Practically every bridge in the low
country was damaged to some ex-
tent, and many of them have been
swept entirely away.
The storm of Thursday night also
did great damage in and around Mar
rows, this county, where it took the
form of an incipient cyclone. Its
stretch was from Narrows to Fords-
vile and embraced adjacent ter
ritory. 1t destroyed the residence of
of Mr.. IraHale, and his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Beatty, had three ribs broken in
the smash. Two children who were
in the house were slightly injured.
The residence of a Mr.. Bolton was
blown down and outbuildings de-
stroyed. The residences of GalenGen-
try and Mrs. Lloyd Westerfield were
greatly damaged. The Gentry resi-
dence was removed from it's founda-
tions. The barn and outbuildings
on the Galloway farm were demol-
ished. The barn and orchard of
James Gentry were badly damaged
and the roof was blown off his dwell
ing, The damage in this instance is
estimated at over $500. In the
sweep of the storm in that vicinity
several thousand dollars worth of
property was either destroyed or bad
ly damaged, not counting the injury
to crops.
The first life lost as the result OF
the recent high water occurred on
Monday morning in the Masonville
neighborhood when the two-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Elliott
of that neighborhood, was drowned
in a field of water near the home OF
the parents.
Mr.. Elliott left the house to go in
to a field some distance away and the
little one followed him, but he did
not notice the child. The mother
thought the child had gone across to
neighbours where the children had
been in the habit of playing and after
about forty-tve minutes she went out
to see where the baby was and failing
to find it at the neighbours house, q
search was commenced. The dead
body of the child was found in q
field of water near the home. The

was the youngest of five children Of
