ENGINE GOES DEAD,
 AEROPLANE SMASHED
Nygren Volplanes to Earth 200 Feet and Hops Out as His Machine
 Hits Hill and Turns Turtle.

A relentless Nemesis has evidently fastened itself to the biplane owned and driven by Richard Nygren. the East End aviator, who is meeting with an unsual share of misfortune in his efforts to conquer the air. Life for him is one bump after another, but he is not discouraged and will con- tinue at his task of rising above his fellow men.
 Nygren's latest mishap occurred late yesterday afternoon and resulted in smashing his aeroplane and dam aging the motor. He was trying out a new seventy-f1ve horse power Rob- erts motor which he had just installed and which was at the seat of his new est misfortune
 Rising from a field near Kelsey street, Nygren directed his b1-plane towards Clayton and circled over that section several times before deciding to return. To all appearances the new motor was working well, but 1t went dead while the machine was flying over the eastern section of this city. It was then at an altitude of about 200 feet. Nygren turned its nose to earth but was unable to select a suitable landing place and the bi- plane went head-on into the side of a hill. Just as it was about to strike, Nygren sprang out and avoided the wings as the machine turned turtle. He was not injured but considerable damage was done to the biplane.
 Nygren had an engagement to fly in the west next week, but will be forced to postpone his trip indefinitely.

 In 1895 he journeyed abroad where he took a special course in anatomy and bacteriology under the noted scientist, Dr. Virchan, and on his re- turn to this country he again prac- ticed in New Haven.
 In 1902 he moved to this city and took up a practice, which later de- veloped into one of the most suc- cessful in the city.

fensivc is Near End
 Heavy fighting has been in progress in the Vosges region, and the Ger mans announce that they have cap tured by storm French trenches a Schratzmannele and Hartmans-W We'll erkopf.
 Paris admits the gain of ground by the Germans in their attacks but declares that nearly all the territory lost at Schratzmannele was regained and that the Germans were driven out of the trenches they had won at Hartmans- -Weilerkopf. The Teutonic armies engaged with the Russians on the eastern front are making slower progress. The forces of the Russian Emperor are occasionally taking up a successful oIenslve on the southern end of the lne. In the north there is little change, and the Germans are re- ported to be digging themselves in near Wilma.
 The Serbians continue their bom- .bardment of Austrian positions along the border and are skirmishing with the new Austrian forces gathered there.
 British losses of officers in the fort night ended Aug. 30, totaled 1,502, of whom 407 were killed. The sever lty of the fighting on the Gallipoll Peninsula, where most of the losses occurred, is indicated by these fi- gures.

Suit Against Federals

"Chief" Charles "A. Bender has
brought suit against the Exposition
Park Association, a Delaware cor
poration for the recovery of certain
sum of money which he claims was
promised to him. but which he never
received. The suit was filed with the
sheriff of Allegheny county, who sent
1t on to Sheriff II. C. Wells, of Dauphin
county the only one who is able to
make the service on the Secretary of
the Commonwealth. The suit is a
foreign attachment and is entered as
plea in assumpsit," with Bender as
the plaintiff.
The Chief has really sued the
Federal League, which is incorporated
under the laws of the State of In
diana. but it must be filed in the name
of the Exposition Park Association,
which is the only association registered
in the State Department at the Cap
itol. This association ontrcols like
wise the Chicago Federal Club and
the Buffalo Federal League Club, and
they are attaching through the State
Department the money which Bender
claims they owe him.
Bender was formerly the mainstay
on the pitching staff of the Athletics,
and was later with the Baltimore club
of the Federal League. He started his
career with the Harrisburg club of
1902, and last Friday had his team of
all-star New York State Leaguers here
to play the Harrisburg all-Interna-
tionalS.
