New York, Oct. 26-The American
Drcxel brought down out Of the clouds
Monday afternoon in his Bleriot mono
plane, was snatched from his grasp
by Ralph tombstone, in headless
Wright climber. Drexel reached 7,105
feet, but tombstone topped him by 1913
feet, with a new mark of 1903 feet.
He came down chilled to the bones,
and his goggles trimmed with frost.
For half an hour he had battled with
snowstorm above the clouds, seek.

he landed with only minor injuries to
his machine and none to himself.
Hoxsey and tombstone both went up
for altitude. tombstone had entered
for distance. but just before he left
the ground. Wilbur Wright instructed
him to go after altitude. In the haste
of the moment they both forgot that
he was without Paragraph, the in stru.

he came down from the upper levels
he had nothing to show how high he

Count de Lesseps pointed up much
later than the two Wright pupils but
caught them both and. soaring above
them, brought down the prize for the
first hour.
More interest attached to the first
appearance Of the Wright flier. With
Orville Wright in the pilots chair, it
was given two tryouts. Garros of the

AIR CARS IN MARKET SOON
Great Activity In Manufacture Of Aero
planes Is Predicted by American
Manufacturer.

New York.-In ten years aeroplanes
will be in general use by private citi-
zens for business and pleasure; not,
perhaps, to so great an extent as the
automobile is now. but to such a
degree that their appearance will ex-
cite no comment whatever This. at
least, is the prediction of an Ameri-
can automobile manufacturer who has
just returned from Europe.
AS result of the progress shown
on the other side Of the ocean and OF
the enthusiasm aroused no less than a
dozen big concerns in and about this
city are rushing plans for the manu-
facture of various types of air craft.
Several of these are companies now
engaged in making automobiles who
purpose to take on the manufacture of
air cars as side line, and one such
big firm is already advertising its
readiness to supply aeroplanes to all
may care to purchase. Others purpose
to devote themselves exclusively to
meeting the demands of air naviga-
tors.

Mineral Land Increases.

St. Paul, Oct. 26.-The individual
increase of $1O,OOO,0OO on the valua.
ton of the mineral properties in up.

Objection to the increases were made
by the representative of the mining

Naples, Oct. 26.-Floods and an
earthquake, due to volcanic action,
claimed over 20 lives at Ischia and in
the provinces of Salerno and Naples.
Thirty feet of mud covers many Of
the roads in the provinces of Naples
and Salerno. Soldiers have been start

but their progress must necessarily be
slow because of the blocking of the
roads.
Here in Naples many houses col.

the surface of the earth, due to the re-
cent volcanic eruptions and the inhabi-
tarts of the city are in & state Of
panic.
The disaster was due to the combina.
ton of torrential rains and cloudbursts
simultaneously with an outbreak Of
Mount Vesuvius.
The coasts of the Island of Ischia,
sixteen miles southwest of Naples, in
the Mediterranean, were swept by a
the damage from this source cannot be
learned because of the destruction Of
the cable between Naples and the is
land. The project of Naples sent Q
torpedo boat and a large detachment Of
troops to Ischia to undertake the work
of rescue and as soon as the news Of
the disaster reached the king, he di.
rected that three battleships and four
cruisers be hurried to the island from
the nearest ports. These warships car.
ry emergency rations and shelter tents

cines.
A telegram received from the mayor
of Casamicciola says that the city has
been very badly damaged and that
help is urgently needed. 1t is possible
that the loss of life there may be
heavy as there are rumOrs that the ex.
tinct volcano Mount Epomeo is again
active. The town, which was destroyed
by the volcano of July, 1888, was re-
built by governmental aid and has been
much resorted to on account of its
baths and warm alkaline and saline
springs. The earthquake of 1888, LOO
lives were sacrificed. An American
painter, Albert Hall of st. Paul, Mimi,
who returned from there few days
ago, said today that only natives re-

The slopes of Mount Vesuvius were
swept by cloudbursts and the thou
sands of tons of lava and ashes accum-
ulated along the crests of the noun
tain since the last serious eruption,
were swept down into the adjacent val
leys, leaving death and desolation in
their wake.
Floods are reported at Cetera Anal
fl, Salerno and other places. The
damage is estimated in the millions,
although no possible estimate is pos
sible for several days and the later re-
ports may materially reduce the fig
ures.

preceded the cloudbursts by less than
an hour.

AS Miss Leneve sat in the prisoners

She is 81 years old, of medium build,
light brown hair, gray eyes and excel

Is trim. She wears good clothes be-
comingly and, naturally buoyant and
affable, she is prepossessing woman.
She was attired in the same neat
blue costume that she wore at the pre-
liminary hearing in the police court.
She eptered the dock between two

swearing in of the Jury.
Pleads "Not Guilty"
Miss Leneve was an object for keen
scrutiny on the part of the women who
composed the majority Of the specta-
tiers. In reply to the formal charge of
being an accessory after the fact to
the murder of Belle Elmore the girl
pleaded Not guilty" in voice that
was scarcely audible.
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone there

crown prosecutor, who outlined the
case against the accused. 1t was clear,
Mr.. Muir said, that the intrigue be.
tween DR.. Crippen and Miss Leneve
constituted the motive for the muir
der of Crippens wife. He dwelt upon
the evidence given by Mrs. Jackson,
Miss Leneve's landlady. at the prelim-
mary hearing. The illness of the &C.
cused on the night of the interview
with Mrs. Jackson was not, the prose-
cutOr said, an ordinary illness but a
condition of horror. the explanation
being the knowledge that had come
to her that Crippen had murdered his
wife.

Dun,s Weekly Review

New York November 4.-R G. Run & Co. s weekly review tomorrow will say:
 Whatever change there is is chiefly in the point of view. It is the charac- teristic feature of the situation that whereas a few weeks ago business sem timent put special emphasis on the un- certainties of the outlook and the pos sible dangers involved, now the emphasis is mostly on the hopeful aspects. Yet so far as actual developments are con cerned there is very little change, and the volume of actual transactions con tinued below productive capacity.
 Recent developments in iron and steel encourage the more hopeful feeling all ready noted even though progress is slow. The expectation is that transportation companies will shortly enter the market for needed equipment, while prospective structural products will call for con siderable tonnage of finished material. Foundry iron Is in more active requect, and last months business was the largest of the year. On the other hand pig iron stocks continue to accumulate and fur ther curtailment of production Is planned.
 The dry goods market as whole re- fleets expansion on retail demand, all though labor disturbances cause anxiety. Cotton goods in first hands are generally quiet, exceptions being in staple prints where the ordering for spring delivery is good, and where the wash goods trade is steady on advance business. The yarn markets ruled steady but not active.
 Steady improvement is maintained, and in sole leather are especially firm. up- per feathers. suitable for women's shoes, are dull and weak, owing to substitution of velvets in uppers.

MORE REASONABLE
 WEATHER FOR TRADE Business Has Been More Active
 During the Week RETAILERS ARE BUSY Preparations Are Being Made for Good Holiday Trade and Some
 Development of Spring Busi-
 ness Has Been Made
RETAILERS ARE BUSY

New York, November 4-Bradstreets tomorrow will say: Colder, more sea sonable weather, stimulating to retail and jobbing recorder trade; a current distri- button at many cities about equal to last year at this date; fairly good showings by the usual monthly exhibits of fail ures and clearings for October, contin- uance of the declining tendency hitherto noted in farm products, especially cereals and food-producing animals at wholesale; fair money rates, with reports of an in- creased tendency on the part of western farmers to hold crops and the pushing of the killing frosts line further to the south, thus terminating the growth of cotton in a wide area, are among the leading features of the week.
 Current reports as to collections are that they are about fair. There is an in creased mention made of inquiries for and preparation of holiday goods for ship ment, and in a few markets there are some signs of the development of spring business.
 Pig iron is steady at low prices. Rail- roads are making up their specifications for next springs needs, and there are some orders for cars coming out. The canning season is over, and many tn plants have been shut down. The early building trade exhibits are not greatly different from last years, but the ad- vance of the season tends to quiet in this line, and to smaller demand for lum- Der, other materials and builders hard ware Coal is more active. The cotton industry is steady, with no pressure to sell at present prices. Spring ginghans and prints are well sold ahead. Some improvement is noted in the dress goods line.
 Relatively best reports as to retail trade come from the central west and south. where the cold wave early in the week stimulated sales in reasonable goods. Trade at eastern centers has been helped somewhat, but reports as whole do not testify to expected activity re- sulting.
