BASEBALL.

The Cardinal Athletic Club since
the commencement Of the 1910 season
has been playing the finest kind Of
baseball and have tried to give the
fans" Of Alexandria team that both
may be well proud Of To have good
games it is necessary to have good Wis
iting clubs and to have good clubs it is
necessary TO have money to defray their
expenses 1t is not just to expect
members Of the team to have to pay
the visitors from their own private
means after giving their services to en-
terrain the fans" and many others
who attend the games. When the col
lection is taken up for the above pur-
pose there are many who never allow
the hat iopass them without giving lib
orally and there are many others who
never give anything All are welcome
to witness the games be they rich or
poor, but il they are able to make a
small donation it is no more than fair
that they should do 50. Many other
expenses, such as the buying Of balls,
bats. base bags, uniforms, etc are con
stantly occurring and it is to be hoped
that in the future all will try to aid the
club TO make their burden as light as
possible. b"

CLOUD BURST IN GERMANY.

A dispatch from Cologne, Germany,
says great loss Of life has occurred in
the Abr valley Of the Eifel region, as
the result of a cloudburst. which swept
the district Sunday night Late esti-
mates place the total number Of dead
at $50.
Numerous storms in the region had
made the stream unusually high, and
as a result OF heavy downpour Sun
day night the river Abr suddenly over
flowed the water carrying death and
destruction in its path
The greatest loss Of life occurred
when two barracks, containing Italian
and Croatian laborers employed on the
railway, were swept away. The inmates
were surprised in their sleep and gen
orally were unable to- help themselves.
Thirty-seven bodies have been re-
covered.
The food caused enormous damage,
completely destroying the railway and
devastating several villages. Light
ming struck in one village, destroying
ten houses and seriousIyiniuring four
persons.
The food subsidized early yesterday as
as it came and the danger is
now past Many peasants, however,
have lost everything and are dependent
on charity.

The Railroad Bill.

Washington, June 14,-An informal
agreement on the two disputed points
Of the railroad bills was reached by the
conference committee this morning
and it WAS the belief Of the conferecs
that formal report would go to the
Senate and House before adjournment
today.
The coEferees made an early visit to
the White House and then returned to
the Capitol where they went into ses-
sion shortly after noon. Later the
democratic members OF the committee,
who were given no part in the negotla-
tons, leading to settlement, were called
to the meeting, Their appearance was
regarded as an indication that the
committee had finished its work.
The agreement is said to be to ac-
cept the long and short haul clause as
it appears in the House bill and the
provision that rates may be suspended
ten months as it is written in the Sen
ate bill.

tide over rough places, he said, always
hoping that some day he could make
good.
Bassett was active in church and

RUNAWAY BALLOON.
Aviator's Thrilling Experience-Dodges
Towers Chimneys and skyscrapeTs.


New York, June IA runaway
dirigible balloon today flashed around
the flag stats on the City Hall, crashed
against massive chimney on the
city court building, played tag with
sky-scrapers in the downtown district
and finally hoated off acrOss the East
river into Brooklyn.
The balloon was navigated by Frank
Ovens, an aeronant who left Hillside
Park BeIleville, a suburb Of Newark,
visited Passaic and then passed over
Jersey City on his way to New York.
The first part OF the flight was beau
tifulIy executed Owens sailed from
Belleville to Passaic, passed eastward
over the Hackensack Meadows, Jersey
City, crossed the Hudson river and
found himself sailing over the sky
scrapers OF New York's downtown
district. As he neared the City Hall he
came lower and as he reached City Hall
park he was barely grazing the roofs
OF the neighboring buildings. He
circled the flagstaff on the City Hall
tower three times, coming lower each
time. On the third trip he endeayored
to land in the park on the west side of
the City Hall. To do so he stopped his
engine and the move nearly proved
fatal. As soon as his propeller ceased
TO give momentum to his dirigible, it
became a plaything OF the winds which
nearly dashed it against the City Hall.
Owens hastily threw out several bags
Of ballast and his dirigible assembled
floating little to the north and pass
ing Just a few inches over the roof OF
the city court building. A hundred
thousand persons gathered in the
streets to watch the aviator extricate
himself from what seemed fatal pre-
dicament. Over the city court build
ing Owens threw out stay rope, which
was seized by willing hands and the
monster dirigible hauled down. Just as
Owens seemed to be nearing safety,
the rope parted and the long triangular
frame in which rested the aviator and
his machinery was dashed against a
chimney. The frame work bent in the
middle from the blow and Owens was
seen to make flying leap into the
netting which held the frame to the
silk gas bag.
He seized the rip cord as though to
let the gas out OF the bag, but seemed
TO realize that such move would crash
him against the building Instead he
tied the rip cord firmly, so that it could
not allow the gas to escape. The wind
catching the gas bag threw it higher
into the air, and the helpless aeronaut
was carried across Park Row, narrowly
missing the World building and the
tower Of the Brooklyn Bridge
As he passed the World building,
Owens released several more bags Of
sand and his balloon shot 1000 feet
into the air, at which height it scared
over the East river The river steamers,
thinking it part Of precOncerted plan,
footed vigorously.
The balloon sped over Brooklyn. At
Nostrand and Gates avenues Owens
cut his rudder rope, which was grasped
by willing hands and the balloon was
pulled down into a tree, narrowly mis-
sing the trolley wires. A fire engine
soon arrived and the firemen hoisted a
ladder, taking Owens out. The balloon
was dragged to a neighboring field and
the gas released.

SCARED 4 VILE HIGH.

Soaring to a height of 1884 1-2 feet,
Walter Brookins, in Wright bplane,
yesterday broke the worlds aero
plane record for altitude at the national
aviation meet at the indianapolis speed
way.
Brookins' high flight, in which he
exceeded the record Of 4, 1G5 feet made
by Louis Paulhan at Los Angeles last
fall, was also a speed triumph. Ac-
cording to the register of the instru-
ments, Brookins was 900 feet in the
air seven minutes after he left the earth.
He rose to that point in wide circle.
The whirr OF the propellers was then
lost to the throng Of spectators and the
aeroplane appeared only cross floating
in the sky.
Continuing his circles, BrOokins rose
steadily at a speed estimated at 90 miles
an hour. Thirty minutes after he had
started he reached his highest altitude
and began the descent, maneuyering at
lower and lower levels until at height
OF 100 feet. he shut off the motor and
glide1 easily to the ground alongside
the starting rail.

The EIoods in Germany.

Berlin, June 14.-The government to-
day ordered an investigation of the
food conditions in the valley of the
river Abr, where between 200 and $50
people have been drowned. The heav-
lest loss Of life yet reported was at
Schultz, where fifty persons, standing
on bridge watching the tubulent river,
we're drowned when the bridge gave
way. The peasants along the river
lost heavily, and appeals have been
made for relief The property loss will
reach at least $4,000, 900.
Disastrous floods in the valley of the
river Abr have claimed more than 200
lives according to latest estimates re-
ceived today, and have inundated
Oberammergau and interrupted the
presentation of the famous Passion
Play"
Hundreds of foreigners, including
many Americans, are now marooned IN
Oberammergau. All transportation
lines are crippled and most of those now
in the little German village will have to
undergo an enforced stay.

HAMuLTON'S FEAT.
Planning Longer Voyage-Hamilton's
Flight Most Daring in History of AVia-

New York, June 14-Charles X.
Hamilton, premier American aviator,
today-made light of his aerial journey
from New York TO Philadelphia and
return, declaring that he intended in
the near future to make real flight
lust TO show what he could do. 1t is
probable that as soon as the conditions
are announced, Hamilton will enter the
New York to Chicago, or New York to
st. Louis race for which immense
purses have been offered
Hamilton's flight of yesterday is re-
garded by aviators as one Of the most
daring in the history eff heavier-than-
air machines. Ina battered aeroplane,
in which he had flown hundreds Of
times in rain, wind and storm, he made
the greatest cross-country journey ever
essayed in America and which, in many
respects, far surpasses Louis Paulhan's
London to Manchester trip. Paulhan
made his flight of 1S6 miles in 4 hours
and eleven minutes, actual flying time,
but he divided his trip up into two
DAYS. He flew in a machine nearly
three times as large as the Curtiss BIZ
plane in which Hamilton made his
aerial journey. The English country
over which Paulhan flew afforded
many good landing places in case Of
accident; Hamilton's landing place was
a swamp. Hamilton made the round
trip, distance estimated at 1S5 miles,
in hours and "a minutes Of flying
time. The distance to Philadelphia in
an air line in Sc miles, but on his re-
turn trip Hamilton lost his way and
went several miles out Of his course.
His average speed to Philadelphia was
nearly AZ miles an hour; his average
return speed nearly 81 IL miles hourly.
