LAST PLIGHT LONGEST. Wright Keeps His Air Ship Going for 65 Minutes and 52 Seconds ! ?Breaks World Record. Washington, D. C., Sept. 10.?Orviile Wright today broke the world's record for time and distance for a heavier than air flying machine which ha establishedyestorduy in a flight requiring great skill on account of a ten-mile wind. He circled around the drill grounds at Fort Myer 58 times in 65 minutes and 52 seconds, exceeding the time of yesterday 's record flight fry throe minutes and 37 see- | onds. The flight was witnessed by naarly a thousand people. Throughout j the day the weather was threatening j and Mr. Wright did not arrive at the , field until after 4 o'clock. At 5 o'clock Mr. Wright announced that he-, was ready. "Ave you going to try to break the record which you made yesterday?" he was asked. "No," he replied, "I am going up just for a little practice. I may make a flight of ten minutes in order to determine at what rate of speed 1 have been flying." The aeroplane rose from the ground almost immediately after leaving the single starting rail. It continued to climb higher with each successive round of the field until it ' reached an altitude of 75 feet. For tire first. 30 rounds the machine flew ! as-smoothly as on its previous flights, but from that time on It was seen * to pitch at tlie turns as the stiffening ' breeze from the west struck it. As * the machine moved from the northern end of the field to the southern end, ^ where tho "aero-gorge" for storing < the aeroplane is located, Mr. Wright ( kept it. several ]>oints in the wind. A A gust of wind unusually strong struck the aerial flyer during the 42d round and it. plunged sharply. Mr. Wright 1 then brought his machine Icrwer, but in the 53d round lie had reached an ' altitude of 200 feet. Mr. Wright 1 came down at the northern end of the * field at the end of the 58th round, landing easily. 1 "I encountered a stiff breeze," were Mr. Wright's first words, llis eyes were bloodshot and caused him considerable, pain. "1 don't know whether the wind or dust causes the irritation of niy eyes. I had on a pair of goggles, too. Flying in a wind jus i did today is lots of fun. It's more sport than flying in a calm as on yesterday. The wind must have been blowing fifteen or more miles an hour, as I could tell by the quartering of the machine. T kept much higher than usual on account of the wind.'' Signal eoi-ps otlicers of t he war tie- ( part me nt today expressed tho belief ( that Orville Wright will make a speed ] of at least forty-two miles an hour ( with his heavier than air machine, ( which did such excellent work at Fort Myer yesterday. If he does make | forty-two miles ail hour he will be entitled to a bonus ot' 20 per cent over the contract price, which would net him for his machine .$."{0,000, the contract price being .$2.~>,000. The ofiicaJ trials will be held as soon as Mr. Wright annonccs his readiness " i DR. LINDER ACQUITTED. i Jury Concludes that he Acted in Self- ! Defence in Killing Negress. I News a ltd Courier.

' Helen Maloney, daughter of Martin Moloney, a Papal marquis, wife of < two men. and denied annulment of the I first matrimonial contract ' by the < < lunch of Koine that she may make I valid the second ceremony, i-. an i Irish madcap who loves life, and per- 1 * haps has been led to weave about herself a tangled wob by the deception j practiced on her father and made necessary by his avowed purpose to make 1 her a nun, a fate she abhorred. , And here is the story of his young- < est child, Helen Maloney: ] At the time of the matrriage of her sister, Margaret Maloney, Helen was ! a Blip of a girl, tall and well develop- J ed for her seventeen years. She held 1 the promise of a beautiful woman, ] and everywhere she wont, both be- 1 cause of- her personal attraction and I the fact that she was the heiress to ' the bulk of Martin Maloney \s mil- i lions she met flattery and adulation. i ^ Helen Maloney loved the world. ! She loved its pleasures, its light- 1 hear ted ness and everything in it that I ivws beautiful and pleasure-making. Hut Martin Maloney saw in his routhful daughter only the possibili- ! lies, the protection and purity of a ' ton vent. He anticipated no defeat of ( us plan. It w<is at this time that he J > fie rod to establish for Archbishop [iryan, of Philadelphia, an order of ( inns whose lift; work should be the N a e of aged men and women. Scran- ' on, I he old home of Martin Maloney, ' vhoro his Irish father and mother had J >egun their humble struggle for exstance, was ehosen as the home of 1 his order. Martin Maloney made no secret of ' lis cherished dream; lie lot. it he 1 enown that above all other things he * lesired his youngest child to enter f Ins convent and consecrate her life o this noble work. He saw in the ^ -'ears to come his "wee girl" the A ady abbess of a convent, tlie mother X >f an order whose life work was to ? dicer the declining days of men and 1 vomen. s She Loved the World. * Hut Helen Maloney loved the world. iler impulsive nature cried out for \ 'rcedom and pleasure, always pleasno. 'i'lie sombre gar!) of a cloistered inn struck terror to her soul and so f lie pendulum swung the other way. 1 ll was at this time that Arthur Her>ert Osborne c.aine into her life. The itory of her elopement and her mar- ? iage to Osborne has been told. This 'Corel was kept from Martin Maloney, ''' tl though during the European travels v 'I' last summer Mrs. Maloney was Ink- *' mi into her daughter's confidence. J' K was during a stay in Paris that \ Samuel H. Olarkson came upon the icene. Mrs. Maloney is an English j voman with a deep love for her moth- ? -r oountry. Clarkson was a fellow country man, i soldier, and identified with English mliturv circles. He won tlie friendship of Mrs. Maloney and then laid "ogc to the heart of her daughter. \ clarkson was entertained by I he Maoneys in Paris, and he followed them K o Naples and to Rome. He was a 'oustant attendant there of the young American heiress. Martin Maloney J' iiiew little or nothing of this friend-1 1 dup.

Then Samuel Uarkson and his madcap Irish sweet- , >*art wont to tbo W.ldorf for dinner. Before the honr of the theatre party y ha<l arm ed Helen Maloney waa indis. ? ixwed and the matron of the hotel assisted her to bed. According to the declaration of Ilel- ) >n Maloney, she never had any inlen- 1 lion of staying in New York. Hut the < ! w .i- i ,i?! nd she could not explain I U> S,'U:,I'on-ill which she then found terse 11, Clarkson offered to marry s ici, had been abiding her consent to I this end, and as she did not consider herself Osborne's wife, she yielded to Mr. Clarkson's persuasions and fled to Montreal, where another marriage contract was entered into. The next 3ay they sailed for London on separate steamers. Helen Moloney could not bring herself to notify her parents of what she liad done, but from New York she had written an appealing letter to Mrs. llitchie telling her the whole story uid giving a brief outline of her dans. Mrs. Ritchie forwarded the etter to her mother and then took the First steamer for London. There she Found her young sister miserable and ? ilone, and the two sisters made their vay to Paris to await news from their parents. Grew Suddenly Old. Mai'tin Maloney began to grow old lie day his daughter's letter was put n his hands. lie began to see the !nd of all his earthly hopes. He was itrong in the pride of his humble but lonest and honorloving mother. He :onld have stood tlie loss of all his vcalth and all his power, and with j lis genius for money-making could > lave started all over again with the 'igor and enthusiasm of his youth, nit when the whole truth came upon ^ iiin ho lost his grip on things. y lie sought the church in the hope hat its leaders might solve thr> pro- . >lem. He hurried to France t.o bring ^ >ack the girl whose future had meant ilmost everything in the world to lira. For a long time his heart was nil of bitterness toward Osborne, towvrd all his friends, and especially to- 1 vard Sanniel Clarkson. He sought nit the dignitaries of his church and o a few of these he told the whole * tory. His one desire was to have lie marriage of Mr. Osborne annullid, (iiul he vowed to do violence to * Jr. Clarkson if ever the young Eng- : ishman crossed his way. Mr. Maoney considered as his enemies every me who ever suggested a reconcilia- J ion. He wished to wipe out of his ifc mid I he life of his child every no who had been connected with her _ ntanglement. Many reports have been circulated J, is to Helen Maloney's plans and Iter ^ rhereabouts, and most of these runors have held that she and (Clarkson iwaited only the annulment of her nurriage with Mr. Osborne in order to x e legally married. It lias been said hat Miss Maloney and Mr. Clarkson ( uul already gone away together. None , >f these rejiorts have been either delicti or affirmed by Mr. Maloney. i 1 An Overvaluation. I John K.
