Fast Passenger Makes Mile a Minute
Without Rails.
Chicago, Oct. 3. Passengers on the
Lake Shore Twentieth Century Lim
ited thought they w-crc taking break
fat in a wreck a the tender trucks
of the giant locomotive hauling the
fast tram left the tracks a half mile
west of Gary at 8 A. M yesterday.
For a mile the wheels of the tender
bumped over the ties, whiie the en
gineer sought to halt the flyer, speed
ing to Chicago at the rate of CO miles
an hour, i lie dining car and the
smoker also left the raits.
For what seemed to the passengers
three or four minutes the train dashed
ahead, but with slackening speed. Af
ter about a mile it was brought to a
stop and it was found that no one was
injured. At the point where the ac
cident occurred the tracks of the Lake
Shore are elevated so that an embank
ment of eight or ten feet descending
on either side promised a dangerous
plunge if the bouncing cars left the
raits.
The airbrake on the diner, loosened
from its fastenings, fell to the ground
This derailed the diner, the smoker
and Hie tender. An angle-bar of the
track was uprooted and tore through
the floor of the diner, causing a panic
among the passengers at breakfast.
WRIGHTS LATEST WONDER.
Beats World's Record With Passenger
on Board.
Le Mans, Oct. 4 Wilbur Wright, the
American acroplanitt, who holds the
world's record for an aeroplano flight,
established another world's record yes
terday afternoon for the time and dls
lance with a passenger. With a French
journalist by his side, he remained in
the air for 55 minutes nnd 37 seconds,
circling the field 24 times and covering
a distance estimated at 53 kilometers,
or about 36 miles. His best previous
flight with a passenger was 11 minutes
33 2 5 seconds.
By his feat Mr. Wright practically
fulfills tho conditions of n contract
signed by him nnd Lazaro Weillcr, who
represents n syndicate, whereby Mr.
Wright receives 1100,000, and the syn
diento takes Iu return tho patent rights
of the Wright machlno for Franco nnd
tbo colonies, with tbo privilego of man
ufacturing aeroplanes on this model.
Tlio sun was setting when iir. Wright
nnd his passenger started, nnd the
flight was completed In tho moonlight.
When they alighted, tho Fronch jour
nalist in liis enthusiasm throw his arms
around Mr. Wright's neck, and tho
great crowd of spectators was hardly
less demonstrative in its manifestations
of delight.

GERMANY TO BACK AUSTRIA.
Favors Annexation Scheme Advise
Turkey Against War.
Berlin, Oct. 0. The foreign office to
day declared that Germany would sup
port Austria-Hungary in the event of
the annexation of Bosnia and Herze
govina. Tho Associated Press is authorized
to state that Germany associates her
self with the mediation proposals sub
mitted by Great Britain to the Turkish
and Bulgarian governments.
It Is recognized officially that Bul
garia's proclamation gravely compli
cates the situation, and until the atti
tude of the sultan is known the German
government is unable to foreseo Its
course of action, except that in no
event will Germany bring pressure to
bear at Constantinople to influence tho
decision of tho porte.
Should the Turkish government seek
the advice of the powers regarding tho
advisability of asserting her supre
macy over Bulgaria by military force,
Germany will not be a bio to advise the
fiorto to go to war. The Turkish army
s not prepared, but the Bulgarian army
Is ready.
