Safety. I A dispatch from Dusseldorf, G?i\, I says Count Zeppelin's passenger air-1 ehip Deutschlaud. the highest de-1 veloped of all the aeronaut's models. I ties on top of the Teutobourgaui forests, pierced with pine tree I atem, a mass of deflated silk an ! I twisted aluminum. The 33 personal aboard, after a wild contest with aj storm. escaped uninjured, climbing I down a rope ladder from the wreck I on the pine tops. I Herr Colesman, general manager I of the new airship company, Chief! engineer I)urr of the Zeppelin com-1 v . pan.v and Capt Kannenburg, who per-I aonally had charge of the crew of I ten and twenty newspaper men hail- J ed from Dusseldorf at 8.30 o'clock I Tuesday morning for a three hours' excursion. The objective point wasl Dortmund, about 3G miles from Dus- J oeldorf, but a high head wind pre-1 wailed and an- effort was made to I reach Mu aster, a garrison town, &o J that a landing might he made on the parade ground. It was dangCTOus to attempt a landing in an open fiehl, because of I the storm, as the metal was likely to I pound to pieces. One of the motors] refused to work and the other two wrcre not powerful enough to make any progress in the gaie. The ?air ship drifted, swaying in the violent] gusts and sometimes leaning to an ] angle of 4 0 degrees, and all the] while the eugiueuien were at work repairing the disabled motor. When this was done all four screws were driven under full power, with which under normal conditions, the ship was able to make 4 0 miles an hour. Hut the helmsman was unable t > keep his course, as the great crat wao swung about at the mercy of ttu winds. Colesmann did not dare to turu ^ ' the Ship around for fear of overturning, and he decided to drift in the gale which was now blowing ai the rate of fifty miles an hour toward Osnabruck. which is also a garrison town. If he missed that he- would Continue 011 to Seuie. Suddenly he perceived a whirlwind coming and ascended to a height of 4,000 feet to avoid the worst of it. With the whirlwind came an avaianche of rain. After an hour the Oeutchlaud came down to permit Of observation and it was seen that 1 the Teutohourglau forest lay below. .The forward motor again stopped and Colesmann sent five of the corr rofm?onde,nU to , the. aft gondola to balance the vessel. ThO ship sank < rabidly, having lost much gas in the high altitude and dragged along the! fop of the dense forest. A heavy branch of a tree broke through the floor of the cabin amidships, throw- ( ing two of the guests to the floor. Other branches ripped through the g<w? compartments and the whole gtoat structure settled down SO or feet from the ground. "It is not the fault of the Zeppelin system," declared ilerr Colemaim; "that is all right. It is our own fault and our benzine ran out. The airship for which Herr Oolesntann's company had just paid $137,600 looked like a wreck. The frames Were broken but the motors were welt damaged. The silk was ripped ahd had fallen in a torn mass on the tops of the trees. A rope ladder was swung down and everyone was mustered below uninjured except for a bruise or two. Two natives identified the spot as near to Wellendorf, east of Osuabrtick. Many persons of the countryside must have seen the descent and resultant disaster. Ileports of death were widely spread. A company of infantry was sent from Osnahruck, and picketed the wreckage. ? 4 ? Kig Steamer A blaze.

Telephone connection with ihe scene of the cloud hurst has been ' cut off. jit is known that twenty-six houses were washed away. Kastern Kentucky has been deluged with heavy rainfalls for practically a week and the storm, which is understood to have been a clouuburst, has put the waters of the already swollen lacking entirely out ' of Its banks. The wreckage was observed floating past Salyersville at daylight and the work of roping houses and rescuing live stock was begun. This resulted in a short j time in the finding of four bodies. I There are no cities or towns of ' any size above Salyersville on the i lacking, but there are several mountain villages and the country is fair- < ly well populated. The region is 1 difficult of access and although there < are no railroads, wire cominunica- | lion is carried on when conditions are normal. Six bodies have been recovered. They include Mr. and Mrs. Gay heart '< and child. John Couley and John j Weinermun, farmers, are among those reported missing. HAMILTON IS KLKC'TKOCUTHD. I In Killed an Affinity Who Tried to Shake Him Oil*. Angelo Hamilton, who was convicted of murdering Mrs. Sal lie It. ! Ilix, at Lynchburg, Va.. June 13, 1909, was put to death in the lectric chair in the Virginia state peni- , tentiary at Richmond early Friday. Airs. Hamilton came to Richmond with her children to intercede with the governor for the commutation of Hamilton's sentence. The crime for which Hamilton was ( electrocuted was committed In Lynchburg, Va., June 13, 1909. Hamilton had been infatuated with the < woman and she had sought to free herself from him. On that night f Mrs. Hix went to a dance, llamilton followed her to the hall. On J the way home Hamilton shot her . Beveral times. He was 25 year of . age. ! ? ? Child IjMbor. ( Ever since Sir Robert Reel In 1 802 i introduced and carried the first leg- ] Isolation to limit the hours of labor ' for children the question of child j labor has been to the front. The i realization that the employment art \ children of tender years is detrimen- ( tal to their physical, mental and intyal welfare, and therefore to that | of society in general has led to one | restriction after another being im- i posed by most of the states in tlie | union and by nations generally. As a consequence many of the abuses , incident to child labor have been, either materially lessened or entirely removed. Yet facts are constant* , ly coming to light showing that even , today many thousands of cnddren, many of them but little more than infants, are working in factories or in close, ill-ventilated tenements. What that means as to health and morals no oue can fail to see. Those children should be at school, de-1 veloping their minds, and living under conditions whroby their whole being may be advanced. That this is not the case is a reproach to our humanity. Of course the immediate responsibility for these condition reMs with those employers who pay such starvation wages, especially in some industries, that every member of the family has to help to keep body and soul together. i'tK: priori pal suffers rPOIYl tills OUpiarv <\'e ine foreign born people in our hire- citwho, being ignorant of American customs and laws, are cas'lv -pvposed upon. Hut 110 state can, in its own interests, afford to have such conditions continue. The well-being of any state and community depends upon the physical and other wellbeing of its citizens. It requires no great discernment to n ulor.stand Uiat children whose WI10I3 being is stunted by hard work can eever necomo strong, healthy an'*. de;l'ab?j I men and women. . ? Hojectwl Him; He Killed Her. I Hecause Jennie Mink off, not quite 18, rejected his attentions, Morris Nathanson, a young grocer's clerk lay in wait in the hall at her Jiome in New York and shot her through the heart. She fell dead at his feet. Nathanson then walked to a police station and remarked that ho had "killed hie girl." V SHOT BYPOSSE Georgia Desperado Barricaded io Home, Receives Many Weaods.

Frantically defiant, even while the shadows of death closed around him. and volley after volley from the new Springfield rifles of two State militia companies made a seive of the walls of his , humble home. W. H. Bostwick, a white desperado at Irwinville, Ga., who observed his last Sunday on earth by the murder of two officers of the law and the serious wounding of three others, paid the penalty or death shortly after 5 o'clock Monday morning. He succumbed to many wounds received from the volleys 1 fired into the building early dur- i ing the night by a mob of infnr- | lated citizens or from those of the' military, which began an attack af- , ter four o'clock Monday morning ] Almost at the same moment Sher- . Iff J. P. Mclnis of Irwin County, who ] was wounded Sunday, while making ( a desperate attempt to remove a wounded fellow officer from the < deadly fire of Host wick, expired. Jas. ruil, another olficer, was add- ? ad to the list of wounded during the ' early fusilade Monday morning, ( but it is beleived he will recover. i Surrounded by his six little > shildren, whom he held prisoners almost to the end of the selge, Bost- , wick, who had declared his inten- ] tion of dying rather than submit j to arrest ou the charge of attempt ing to murder his brother-in-law, j fought the battle to the last ditch. Knowing that death was near, the ; desperate man finally allowed the J fear stricken children to leave the ] house. However, after they were under the protection of the mili- j tary officers, they refused to talk of i the events of the night. Capt. Chas. A. Delang, command- | ing the 'Fitzgerald Guards, de- | scribed the uneven battle of one desperate man against an equally 1 determined nost In a vivid manner. Capt. Delang's original instruc tions from Adjt. Gen. Scott were to | await the arrival of the Albany i Guards before taking any steps to ( capture Bostwick. t Upon arriving at Bostwick;8 ( borne, however, he found the mob i in such a temper that he deemed j immediate action absolutely necea- [ jary. He first called upon Bostwica > :o surrender, offering him protection from the mob, but the demand was itoutly refused, even though accompanied by a threat to take the be- ( lieged man dead or alive. The offi;er then demanded that the children allowed to leave the house, but fiostwick also refused this demand. . rhe litle ones had spent the entire * light huddled close to the 'floor j fearinc at anv moment that they , would be the victim of bullets from :he Runs of the enraged people. Capt. Delang ordered his men to K fire a volley into the roof of the t house, following which another de- ] mand for snrrender and release of < the children was made upon Host- . wick, who replied with a shot from one of the three weapons, with which he was armed. Then came another ] volley from the soldiery, which caus- ] ed Hostwick to ask that the lives of the children be not endangered. The six children were then permitted to leave the house, and were taken in charge by the soldiers. They would answer no questions. The oldest daughter. Jennie, who had spent the long night attempting to shield the younger children, cried because one of the younger boys had been forced to leave the house without his trousers, and the oldest boy was ill. The children being taken to a place of safety, Capt. Delang again demanded that Hostwick surrender, but the only reply was a shot from the beseiged man. Then the soldiers fired a volley into the lower portion of the house. . A moment later officers observed that a shingle had been removed from the roof, this probably being done by Hostwick in order to fire to better advantage. A hall of lead was thrown into the roof, followed by a thud, which indicated that Hostwick had fallen to ^ * At. ^ _ 1 1 _ ,1 ? * ine noor. uoserveris men cuutru ur tention to the fact that an object was seen moving through a hole in the floor, and a volley was ilred in that direotiou. A rush of the troops was then directed, the belief being that Hostwiek had been injured, but this was stopped by a shot from the building, which struck James Gill, who was cared for by a physician. Delang's men then flred into the building several times. Several men then attempted to enter the building, but were greeted by a final sJiot from Hostwiek. The Albany company then arrived on the scene and a rush upon the building was made from all directious. The doors were broken 9pen and Host wick was found upon the floor and although he had passed the point of resistance, and could not eveu give ntterane. to Mr thoughts, the expression on his features was one of death defying determination. Ho had fought the battle of life and death and lcBt, but if his superhuman nerve failed him once there was no indication of the fact. . Death claimed the desperado shortly rafter the final rush of the troops. The Sabbath day tragedies and the final battle scene occurred four miles west ot' Irwinville. In the crowd that gathered around the beseiged home were the most prominent women of the community. These did not remain at the scene for the purpose of witnessing bloodshed, but their hearts went out to the children who were forcibly confined in the home. There were stern, determin '? ? - I 1 .. <5 ed faces iu tnat crowa or luny ove hundred mothers, many of whom would have defied the deadly fire of the Springfield's before they would have allowed one of the children to be Injured. The attitude of the women resulted from a misunderstanding of orders issued by Adjt. Oen. Scott, who Instructed the two companies not to fire from a distance and endanger the children. This misunderstanding of the orders caused Governor Joseph M. Brown to be the recipient of many telegrams of protest during the day. Immediately following Bostwlck's .tenth a coroner's jury was empanelled to investigate the tragedy. The verdict was that Bostwick killed tiimself in order to prevent being aptured. Whether he died from self-inflicted wounds, received the wounds during the fight with citizens or succumbed to the fire of the Springfields may never be known. The children doubtless know whether the father was wounded before die arrival of the soldiery, but they would make no statement. Many acts of heroism were recorded during the bloody seige, most uolable anion? these being that of Sheriff Mclnnis. Seeing his deputy, T. C. Bass, fall, and thinking he was mortally wounded, Sheriff Mclnnis rushed from cover and took Bass to *>1 ? At' oufdtv and In so doillC t* l^iatu ui i v vy , M?V. ... ? received the wound which caused tiis death. He then proceeded to a neighboring telephone and attempted to communicate wiLh Adjt. (Jen. Scott, at Atlanta. He was unable to talk, tiowever, and in whispers dictated the message which caused the Adjutant General to order out the troops. llostwick literally died with his 'boots on," and not until his ammunition, which he had retrenched >y forcing one of his children to face ;he fire of the mob and take a pisol and cartridges from the body of >ne of the dead soldiers, was exlausted, did he cease firing. Almost in his last breath, he sent one inal shot in the direction of the inraders. IH.LLKTS HIT MXK. >ae Principal head, Other Dying and Bystanders Wounded.
