Dangers of Arial Navigation Reaching

A Memorable Kvent In The Art of Bal
looningVery Successful Trip
Above Californlm.
San Diego, Aug. IS.-Prof. Charles J.
Woodward has returned from bia first
successful arial voyage.- He sailed from
here at 8:20 a. m. Tuesday, in bis airship
Windswept. . The balloon has a capacity
of 2,000 feet of gas, bnt when the rise
was made she contained only about
1,600 feet. The . aeronaut took along
provisions and water which in a case of
emergency would have lasted him three
dayB and nights, also Biz bags of sand
ballast, two heavy blankets, and instru
ments for taking the temperature, ele
vation, etc. This trip as he said on
leaving, was not to travel over any great
space of ground in a pertain direction,
bnt simply to test the -efficacy of - the
wings or oars that he contends will in
some way solve the problem of naviga
tion. The audience was composed of
almost eveiy unemployed person in San
Diego, the house tops and other eleva
tions being liberally patronized. First
a young man was let np by a rope to es
tablish the carrying capacity.
Woodward then stepped into his frail'
appearing car and said, "Let her go gen
tlemen." The balloon arose very slowly
until it had attained a height of about
2,000 feet, and for ten or twelve minutes
appeared to stand almost stationary.
Up to this -time Woodward had not
touched the wings. All at once they
were straightened out laterally, then per
pendicularly lowered as far as they would
go,and with a quick turn to a lateral posi
tion forced qnickly np, catching the air
and preceptibly causing the balloon to
move downward. ' The movements were
repeated until the airship had descended
several hundred feet. The aeronaut
now began experimenting on the propo
sition to force the ballon upward. It re
quired only a few reverse moves to
change the direction, and he was soon
back to the original altitudes. The
wings were now allowed to rest. At 10
he was just over National city, and at 11
o'clock Dr. Powers, at the quarantine
station in Sweetwater valley, telephoned
that "the baloon is above me about 3,000
feet. - The man-is waving his hat and,
occasionally working some kind of pad
dles." At 11 :50 the balloon slowly des
cended to clear ground without a scratch,
about 100 feet in front of the Bonita
school house, in Sweetwater valley.
Despairs of National Help.
- East Oregon ian. The Dalles Chboni-
cxk has come to the conclusion,' which
the East Oregon i an came to more than a
year ago, that if anything is to be- done
at the dalles in the way of 'opening the
Columbia river "it must be done by the
state of Oregon." That ia truly the size
of it. . To look for help from the govern
ment is to expect the politicians to be
honest and above trifling with the peo
ple, and that is impossible. The way to
open the Columbia is for the state to do
it, and Oregon is abundantly able to ac
complish - the "work. - The legislature
meets next January. ' The people should
be ready to demand of it fitting legisla
tion for the purpose in handr "an open
Not to be Wondered at.
Olympia Tribune. The house, river
and harbor bill when passed up to the
senate carried a total appropriation for
Washington of $99,000. r; The Washing
ton senators asked for an increase of
of $641,500; of this increase $500,000
was asked for the Seattle canal. In the
face of this record is it to be wondered
that Seattlo is hot for the re-election of
its time-server or that a sharp revolt
has been made by eastern Washington
and the friends of an open river? ,

The treasure lost with the old British
ship Hussar, 200 years ago, south of
Port Morris dock New York, has been
located. . The dredge brought np some
of it last Saturday. ' The first piece was
an English guinea of tho time of George
III. , It was in a state of perfect .preser
vation, and only a little blackened by
the water. Half a dozen' more were
found, and then two gold buttons from
the uniform of a British naval officer.
The next plunge of the bucket brought
up a quantity of copper coin worn very
thin by the water. Then the bucket
brought np two snort bars tarnished and
pitted by brine. On being scraped they
proved to be of pure sterling silver. The
treasure isupposed to amount to about
$4,800,000.
Next to the summer girl and the ten

always has it her own way, and her own
way, is ever straight ahead, down the
middle of the boulevard.
Discussing the question of dudishness,
an eastern contemporary desires t3 know
"what makes a swell." The general
verdict of an experienced public seems
to be that crnel fate is responsible.
Bussards Bay Poem.
New York Tribune. - It is understood
in the literary circles of Buzzard's bay
that the failure of the yacht FraDiavolo
to touch at that . point has inspired a
local poet to the composition of a path
etic little ballad.- We reproduce two of
the verses of this poem, and hard indeed
must be the heart of him or her who can
read them without tears
I wandered by the seaside, . '
1 wandered sad and chill, .
I could not see the yacht come,
wnicb carried Liavid mil;
I had no heart for fishing, -I
could not write a word, . .
cut the beating of my own heart .
Was all the sound I "heard, v :
He came not, oh, he came not, '
I watched the livelong day, . . ;
Prepared to fond embrace him -,"
And show him Buzzard Bay ;
I paced the beach in silence
I must have looked absurd -
And the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.

Telegram. Judge J. C. Moreland re
turned from Union county this morning,
where for the past ten days he has been
whipping Imnaha river for the benefit
of the speckled beauties. He caught a
five-pounder, too, of the mountain . vari
ety, and after viscerating the distin
guished member brought it home with
him. The trout measures ,25 inches in
length and weighs over four pounds. It
was somewhat faded on arriving hre
and appeared to take but little interest
in current events as it lay on T. Cupid

are very hard to buy np, in Union

Wkst Chesteb, N. Y ., Aug. 18. A
report from Mamaroneck confirms the
death of millionaire J. H. Bostwick. A
fire broke out in his handsome stable at
his summer residence on Oriental Point,
shortly after midnight. " It spread to the
stables of Arnold and Constable, and
both were destroyed, together with a
number of valuable blood horses, entail-,"
ing a loss of nearly $100,000. When the
fire was discovered Bostwick, who has
been in poor health some time, ran out
on the porch in great-excitement and
dropped dead from heart disease. It
appears the dead man's coachman' and
footman were ont boating, and letnrned
at night under the influence of liquor,
and probably through careless handling
of matches set the barns on fire. . Both

The Cooler Outlaws. '
KiupwooD, W. V., Aug. 18. The ex
citement throughout " Preston county
over the depredations of the Cooley gang''
of Pennsylvania outlaws has not been
equaled since the war. The people are
everywhere arming themselves for pro
tection and in the hope of capturing the
outlaws." Yesterday the store of Mer
chant Elliott, at Bruceton', was raided
by the gang in the boldest manner, and
goods to the value of nearly $1,000 car
ried off. A number of other iike depre
dations are reported. The sheriff is ont
with a large-sized posse, and scores of
citizens are standing guard on the roads-
or over stores, flocks and farms. If the -ontlaws
are captured, the entire gang
will be lynched or shot tn death without
mercy. ' - . . .

orders of Gen. Doyle, the entire fourth
