has been reported Beattie was over
heard TO say t. Beulah "Ill get rid of
Louise, it was not brought out
through this witness.
The other two persons testifyfng
were Detective Sergeant Tom Wren
and Jack Wiltshire, of the Richmond
force, who worked upon the case a few
hours after Mrs. Beattie's death had
been learned of. Wren's testimony
was of considerable significance. He
told of going to The scene Of the crime
with bloodhounds within Two hours af-
ter its occurrence. The hounds were
let loose at the exact spot in the road
where a pool of blood showed where
the lady had been wounded" he said
They shifted about then both ran to

New York, Aug. 24-Disappointed
mat ne was unable to fly into New
OK this afternoon, but happy in the
knowledge that he had broken all
worlds records for long distance fly-
ing. Harry N. Atwood rested tonight
at Upper Nyack, twenty-five miles
from this city, the goal of his flight
from st, Louis. He has prepared his
blplane and is ready to complete his
Journey tomorrow afternoon.
When Atwood passed over Rhine
cliff at $40 o'clock this morning he
was thirteen miles ahead of the
worlds record
The accident that delayed Atwood at
Nyack might easily have been more
serious than it turned out. Just as he
rounded Hoax Mountain north Of
Nyack, the babbitt metal in the con-
Meeting rod of the aeroplane burned
out. He was flying at the rate of 80
miles an hour, at an altitude of 500
feet. Shutting off the power he look
ed around for landing place. His
machine was sinking and quick action
was necessary. For a moment it look
ed as If he would have to test his pom
toon by landing in the Hudson river
Off to the right he saw an inviting
and making two wide circles
in his descent came down as light as
a feather.
Atwood found that part of the aero
plane would have to be replaced. He
went to the Nyack Hotel for luncheon
and to wait for his mechanician, who
had been following down the river by
train.
Atwood left Castleton, n Y, nine
miles south of Albany at 7.35 this
and his actual flying time
from that place to Nyack, a distance
Of ITO miles, was two hours and 33
minutes. Since leaving st. Louis he
has been in the air q hours and Al
minutes. When he descends at Sleeps
head Bay tomorrow he will have been
aloft approximately % hours.
He will be greeted by monster
when he reaches Sheepshead
Bay tomorrow. The reception commit
ee, numbering 500 persons, was busy
:onight, celebrating on the original
plans for the celebration in the intre-
Did airman's honor. An official well
come will be extended by Mayor Gay
lor.
Atwood's flight today was one swift
lash up to the time he was compell-
ID to descend. Starting at Castleton,
where he had spent all of yesterday
'epairing his machine, he flew to Cold
Spring, across the river from West
Point, without a stop, passing under
he big railroad bridge at Poughkeep-
lie, Ell route.
He was to have remained in West
Point until three o'clock this after
loon, but the capricious weather of
he Catskill region forced him to
change his plans. Banks of clouds
climbing up behind the mountains to
he west shed showers and engineered
equally winds that kept up waves on

Judge Philpot says the road will be

The same spirit exists all along the
line, the prominent planters along the

work with enthusiasm that shows
clearly that they appreciate the bene-

what they are doing now. Much of the
upper end of the road requires only a
little ditching to provide drainage
while some demands clearing through
The edge Of woods and the blasting of
stumps and distinctions. No bridging
will be needed which means that, the
road once laid out, little money will be
required to keep it in good condition.

* . find the shop windows plastered with Autographs Of candi-
dates for Alderman and Assemblyman whose lincaments declare
their fitness to rule over us and the soundness Of the primary proc
leases which have resulted in their selection. BY and large, their
countcnances do our citzenry infinite credit. One feels that whether
the Republican or the Democratic party wins, popular institutions
will be safe, and should account themselves happy in attracting the
notice OF such imposing looking men. Two major types of physiop
snomy arc noted-the Grand Young Man and tho Tired Business Man.
From the former one can expect aggressive action, from the latter
fegacous counsel. In both are remarked the we'll set eve denoting
irankness, the salient nose intimating an intelligent curiosity in the
processes Of government, and the juttng chin postulatng q civic
resolution.
1t goes without saying that these men, when sent to the Assem-
bly, will not stand for "the perfect charter" for an election law
which circumvents Independent political action, for government BY
longdistance telephone, for a debating and bargaining but never
csjding boss, and for a flood Of grab and "ripper" bills. When
sent to the Board Of Aldermen these men will not demean themselves
