4HALLENGE CLAIM OF ST. LOUIS MhN. Union People Deny Lambert and. Phul Broke Record. Cites Voy - age Made in 1861. Union, S. C., Oct. 18.-The claim that A. B. Lambert and S Louis von Phul, members of the Aero club of St. Louis, established new ,Norld's records for long distance and speed in aeronautics, when, ascending mil their balloon in St. Louis, Mo., on Friday afternoon of last week at 5 o'elock they landed in Dorchester .county, near Charleston, S. C., on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, hav ing made an average speed of 44 miles an hour, is challenged by par ties here who have records showing that higher speed than this was at tained in a balloon voyage made 48 years ago. The aerokiautic feat reiferred to was that Prof. T. C. S. Lowe, now head of Lowe observatory, near Pasa dena, Cal., who, on April 20, 1861, aaseended in a balloon at Cincinnati, Ohio, at 3:30 a. m. and at 12:30 p. m. of the same day landed at Pea Ridge in this county. Prof. Lowe cov ered an air line distance of over 500 miles, not including several hundred additional caused by his balloon be .img carried in an air current into Virginia, then towards the South Carolina sea coast, before reaching his landing place near here. Prof. Lowe's balloon voyage was not only an eventful one because it set a pace in aeronautics for distance traveled per hour not yet equalled, but because, being at the outbreak of the War Between the States when sectional feeling was at high pitch, when he descended with his balloon in the rural section of this county he was regarded by some pernms as being a "Yankee spy.'' and but for: the action of cooler heads might have met with bodily injury. His descent among these country people, many of whom never saw a balloon before, caused excitementi and amusing incidents, which are re called by older residents. (Thaddeus S. etaoin etaoin etao-inii Pasadena, Cal., Oct.\ 18.-Prof. Thaddeus S. C. Lowe. director of Lowe observatory, to'night corrobo rated te assertion that in a flight made 48 years ago he surpassed the1 performance of A. B. Lambert and. Louis von Phul of the St. Louis Aero club, who were regarded as the Jiolders of the balloon speed record.. He sailed 700 miles from Cincinnati in direct course. AVIA.TOR'S RIMARKABT.KFEAT De Lambert HamdIes Wright Aero plane Skillfully.-Bails Over. Eifel Tower. Paris, Oct. 18.-Count De Lam hert, the French aeroplanist. just be fore dark to-night, aeeomphed one of the most remarkable andi daring feats yet credited to heavier-than-air mnaehines. Starting from the aero dome az Juivisy, he flew toParisa dis tanceof abou 13 miles. After manoen vrinig over the city at average height of 400 feet, he ascended in gradurdily diminishing circles and passed sev eral hundred feet above the Efflel tower. He then returned to Juvisy. SCount De Lambert was given a tremendous ovation on his return to Juvi3y. Orville Wright, who was there with his sister, rushed forward and wrung the hands of the aviator as he alighted, pale but radiant. 'The aviator said that~ throughout his trip he had entire control of the machine. The only inconvenience he suffered was from the throbbing of heengines and from difficulty in eeing toward3 the end in the gath rig gloom. The official time of the flight was minutes, 39 seconds. The distance as roughly estimated at 31 miles and the height varied from 300 to 1;300 feet. T.he Aero Club of France has 'voted a gold medal to Count Dei Lambert, which will be presented to hiim at a special banquet. OFFICERS DRIVE AEROPLANE Ideut. Lahim and Lient Hamnphreys Handle Ma.chine Under Tuition of Wilbur Wright. College Park, Md., Oct. 18.-In six training flights at the government aviation school uder the direction of Wilbur Wright, the two army offeers, Lients. Lahm and Hum pbreys, demonstrated their ability fo .handle the government's aero plane, purchased from the Wright brothers during the past summer by ihe signal corps. Each officer ae eempanied Mr. Wright on three flghts and at various times !:andled the machine unaided by the instrue sex. Wivh Lieut. Lahm, in the pupil's a Jr Wright anuing the days made the longest flight that has been attempted at the signal corps aero drome, being in the air 18 minutes and 37 seconds. Farman and Rougier Lead. Blackpool, Eng., Oct. 18.-At the close of to-day's flights in the avia tion meet here, the French aviator, Farman, led in tLe speed contest, having covered 17 miles in 23 min utes. Rougier, another Frenchman, had the credit for the longest flight, 22 1-2 miles. Both contests are open till the end of the week. Bleriot Machine Wins. Doncaster, Eng., Oct. 18.-In the aviation contests here to-day Leblon, driving a Bleriot monoplane, won the Bradford cup and a prize of $200 for the fastest time in ten cir cuits of the course. EDGEFIELD CITIZEN KITTLD. Mr. L. F. Dorn, of Parksville, Run Down by Engine and Tender at Trenton. Edgefield, S. C., October 19.-Mr. L. F. Dorn, of Parksville, was struck by an engine on the Southern this morning at Trenton, and instantly killed. Mr. Dorn, according to an ,ye-witness to the tragedy, had just eft the train from Augusta prepara tory to taking the one to this place, and was standing ndar the switch rack on which the Edgefield train perates. He watched the outgoing A.ugusta train towards Columbia, and while standing in this position the Edgefield engine and tender backed from a point in his rear. He was struck on the shoulder and as he fell is head came in contact with the brakes on the tender, resulting in in 5tant death. Mr. Hughes. a resident of this place, and a most trustworthy engi eer, was in charge of the engine that killed Mr. Dorn, and with the present light seems blameless in the matter. Mr. Dorn was one of the county's most useful and prominent citizens. Ele was a trustee of Furman Univer 3ity, high up in the councils of the Baptist Church, and the local repre sentative of the Twin City Power Company. His death is a distinct loss to the community. The verdict f the coroner 's jury'was that the deceased came to his depth by being struck by an engine of the Southern Railway Company. Not Diffcult. Mrs. Uptown-I trust that we shall get along very nicely, Nora. I am aot at all difficult to suit. Nora (the new maid)-No, ma'am'; that 'a what I thought the blessed minute I set eyes on the master.
