THOUSANDS WITNESS ExPLo-
SION AND SEE BIG AIRsHIP
DESTROYED.
WRECK ON TRIAL TRIP
TRAGEDY OF SKY is WORST IN
HISTORY; HUGE SHIP PLUNoEs
INTO RIVER.
,westeru Newspaper Union News Service

Hull, England.-Sixteen officers and
men of the United States navy, and
twenty-seven Officers and men Of the
British navy met death in the collapse
Of the great dirigible ZR-2 over the
city of Hull. Only one of the Ameri-
cans on board the Inflated craft es-
capped. Only five men of the forty
nine who were making the trial trip in
the dirigible, prior 10 the vessel be-
ing turned over to the United States
navy, are known to have been saved.
I Starting from Howden on test
flight to Pulham, the big aircraft had
been afloat for thirty-four hours, at
times in bad weather, and was return
ing to the Pulham airdrome ut the
time of the disaster, which constitutes
the most terrible of its kind in peace
times
While flying at about 1000 feet over
Hull, spectators saw the ZR-2 seeming
ly buckle amidships and plunge down
ward over the city and into the Hum
ber river
One theory of the cause of the disas-
ter is that while the ships rudders
We're beinw tested the giant craft took
sharp turn, which caused her frame
work to buckle and that the explosion
of IA gasoline tank completed the trag-
edy of the air.
When first seen from Hull the ZR-2
was approaching the city. coming from
a southeasterly direction over the
Humber. When sailing on an even
keel above the city. according to some
eye-witnesses II huge cloud of dense
smoke burst from the tail of the air
craft. 1t was thought the ZR-2 was
sending out smokt screen as an ex-
hibition, but. to the horror of thous-
ands of spectators, ii was seen that
she had broken in two and was taking
a tremendous nose dive which appar-
emily would bring her down into the
thronged streets.
Then there came loud explosion
and great crash. followed by another
the breaking OF glass in the windows
on land. the whole being reminiscent
of wartime, when German airships
bombed Hull and explosions shook the
whole town. The explosion was so
great that it wrecked windows Ger
an area of about a mile square.
Some spectators assert that the air.
ship began TO buckle before any flame
or explosion was seen or heard. The
broken halves of the ZR-2 reached the
water nearly a mile apart.
al. ..f
Hull is that the commander of the air
ship accomplished a remarkable feat
of bravery in diverting the descent of
the vessel SO that it fell into the water
instead of in the crowded streets.

ANNUAL MEETING
BEGINS At RueGlES
THURSDAY Morning
Ruggles Campmeeting Begins Annual
Session With Many Campers
On the Grounds.
(By J. H. RICHARDSON

/ Ruggles Campgrounds, July 20. -
In some way or other Ruggles Camp
meeting has jumped into unusual pop
ularity. OF course there has been a
steady and healthy growth for years,
but this years beginning is exceeding
all expectations. We surely can class
Ruggles Campmeeting henceforth
right along with the big campmeetings
Of Methodism. Indeed we have as our
evangelist in the person Of DR.. Dirney
one who has Just come from one OF the
greatest campmeetings In Methodism,
| the Des PLANES campmeeting right out
of Chicago. After successful camp
meeting campaign at that popular
place DR.. Birney comes to us fired
with the spirit Of the Master, ready to
do us great service. If the first even
gelistic sermon is indicative of what
is in store we feel that Ruggles will
experience great things this year. The
CONGREGATIONS have been the largest IN
the history Of the campmeeting. the
first prayer service at sunrise led by
Rev. Early was the beginning OF
grand day. The first sermon was
brought to us by Rev. o. W. Robinson,
of Russell, KY, at 1880. 1t was Bro,
Russels first sermon at this place. He
may be classed as one Of our best and
coming young ministers. Terribly IN

passion of his life - the winning OF
the young life to the cause of Christ.
His sermon was we'll received. AT

ems meetings has devolved for many
