In the pro-cnee at Leinnns, France,
of the ofllcluls of the French Aero
club, the American Ambassador Henry
"White, n large number of French and
foreign ofllcerB and aeroplane experts
and a wildly cheering crowd, number
ing 10,000, Wilbur Wright, the Amor

nal triumph, capturing the world's
record from his brother, Orvlllo
Wright, with n marvelously Impres

1 hour, 31 minutes and 51 seconds,
covering In that time an actual dis
tance of nearly sixty-one miles.

ed Intense intcrcsL
.Mr. Wright made three false starts,
owing to the oblique direction of the
breeze. After the direction or the
fctnrtlng rail had -been changed to
point in the eeth of the breeze, which
was then blulug gently at about four
miles an hour, the aviator got away
nicely, .sailing majestically up the Held.
Aiound tho upper turn Wright
swept back to where the thousands
were gathered and began describing
ellipses. Hound aud louud he went
with the regularity of clockwork and
the steadiness of a railroad train.
The great crowd was at once delight
ed and amazed at the remarkable sta
bility shown by tho aeroplane. Wright
at first manifested extraordinary pru
dence, flying so low that he seemed al
most to skim the earth, but on the
thirteenth round he rose to sixty feet.
Spontaneous cheers greeted the pic
ture and these were redoubled as he
'huicesslvely passed his own record
'.and then his brother'.
EBERHARD PLACED ON TRIAL.
Taking of Testimony Begins at Hack

Augustus Eberhard, indicted for
nt Ilackensack, N. J., and beloro thu
close of the day's proceedings tho tak
ing of testimony was well under way.
The piosecutlon, after opening its
case, called -Miss Ottilie Eberhard. ita
chli f witness.
Miss Ebcihard testified that she
had comb to this country with her
mother on the representations of her
cousin, the prisoner. He met them at
tho pier, she said, aud two days later
called at their hotel In Now York to
take them for a walk. Ho. proposed
to cross over to New Jeisey, and they
were walking along the railinad track,
near Rochelle park, in the gathering
darkness, when she heard a shot. Sho
was In the lead, her mother was fol
lowing and her cousin was in the renr.
Bhe bald her mother cried out: "Come
aud help me, lightning has struck
jiie." There was a second shot and'
this time she felt something lilt her
on the shoulder. She was running
away, she said, at Bberhard's sugges
tion, when she heard five or six more
fahots. Her hat was struck, and it was
put In evidence, showing a hole that
apparently was made by a bullet. The
witness went on to say that she had
not stopped to ascertain from whence
the shots came, but had run on until
she reached the house of a farmer,
where she was taken Jn for .the night.

TRADE REVIEW FOn THE WEEK.
Business Has Experience Further
Moderate Improvement.
Brndstreet's says': Business has ex
perienced n further moderate lmprovo
ment In jobbing, as well ns In wholo
snle Hues. Fall trade has reached
the minimum ut some cities and most
out-oftown merchants lmo left the
large 1 1 nters for home, though state
fairs ana fall cnrnlvnls arc attracting
vlsltt.ts to various sections, thus en
larging tho volume of trade. On thu
whole, purchases luivo been confined
chiefly to staples and no moro than
.actual needs have been filled; there
fore sales have been below thOBo of
last year at this season. This con
servatism, for which approaching
elections and the diminishing purchas
ing power of tho public outside of the
agricultural regions nro responsible,
lfl looked upon with some degree of
satisfaction, it bolng lelt that Inas
much as retailers' stocks nre not bur
densome, a constantly good fllllug-in
order trade should be experienced
throughout the fall and winter. Rela
tively, best roiKirts come from the
larger cities of tho west. Farmers ap
pear more disposed to let go of their
products and this fnct augurs well for
future country trade and some activ
ity In railway trnfllc, while It will
tend toward betterment In collections.
Industrial Hues are making slow
progress toward normal nnd It 1b note
worthy that some plants resume, only
to shut down again nftor working off
a list of accumulated orders. Fig Iron
Is quiet, with prices Irregular. Drought
has affected operations at some coal
mines and retarded outputs at coke
ovens In Pennsylvania.
Failures for tho week number 2CC.
Wheat exports for tho week aggre
gate 3,419,911 bushels. Corn exports
lor the week nro 12,443 bushels.
AEROPLANE KILLS SELFRIDGE.
I Wright Badly Hurt Also When Airship
i Falls to Earth.
After drawing attention of the world
to his aeroplane tests at Fort Myer and
having established now world's rec
ords for heavier than air flying ma
chines, Orville Wright met with a
tragical mishap while making a two
man flight. The aeroplanist was ac
companied by Lieutenant Thomas 12.
Selfridge of tho signal corps of the
army. Lieutenant Selfridge was fa
tally injured and died thrco hours
later. .Mr. Wright was seriously In
Jured, hut Is expected to recover.
While the machine was encircling
the drill grounds a propeller blade
snapped off aud hitting somo other
part of the intricate mechanism,
caused It to overturn in the air and
fall to the ground, enveloping tho two
occupants in the debris. Soldiers and
spectators ran across the field to
where the aeiophiue had fallen and
assisted in lifting .Mr. Wright and
Lieutenant Selfridge from under tho
tangled mass of machinery, rods,
wires aud shreds of muslin.

Under New Law State Conven
tions Meet at Lincoln,
Edgar Howard Slated for Temporary
Chptrmnn of Democrats and Jude
Sedgwick for Republicans Popu
lists Are Troubled,
Lincoln, Sept. 22. Delegates to
four state conventions convened u
the state house at noon today to ratify
tho tickets' selected ut the state pri
maries and adopt platforms. Dele
gate began arriving ns carl ns Mon
da noon and Kept coming up to tho
convention hour.
There was little to Indicate tlml
there would bo any trouble over elth.
er the Republican or Democratic plat
foims. nor that the ProhtbltloutsU
would have a serious time formulating
a set of principles to be followed dur
ing the rest of tho cnmpalgn. The
Populists, however, were not in such
a ciieeiful frame of mind and thoro
was considerable doubt ns to how
their gathering would consider all tho
matters to como before It.
Edgar Howard, who was defeated
In the Third district for thu congres
sional nomination, was among tho
Hist to nnlve He was naked whuthor
he would insist on a government own
ership of railroad's plank being In
setted, but would not commit himself
on the matter.
The question or whether or not
county option should receive the sup
port ot the old line pnrtles teemed a
topic of more than ordinary Interest,
and still one on which few lendora
were willing to tnlk. The "cold water"
wings of both the Republican and
Democratic following were on hrtfiil
early, and It wns evident when thu
conventions weie called to otdei that
they would Insist on being heard The
platform committees weie agreed on
during the forenoon and tho platforms,
substantially as they wore to be adopt
ed, were written long before either
ot the two large conventions con
vened Edgar llownrd was slated for
temporary chairman by tho Demo
crats R B. Schneider wns on hand
eailv to offer counsel to the Repub
lican, as was Judge Sedgwick Tho
latter was slated to preside over tho
Republican gu the ring.

FIVE CONVENTIONS IN LINCOLN.
Chief Interest Will Be In the' Plat,
forms.
Lincoln, Sopt. 21. All tho political
parties who maintain an organization
lu Nobrnska will hold tholr conven
tions In this city tomorrow. The Re
publicans will occupy tho house end
of the "tate house nnd thu Domocrnts
the senate chamber. Tho PopululB,
Porlnlhti and Prohibitionists will di
vldo other parts of the building.
Tho chief Interest In all those con
ventions will ho in the platforms,
their candidate being simply con
firmed ns named at the state primary.
The Republicans will doubtless maku
their strong points on what was ac
complished by tho Inst leglslaturo
nnd the record of Governor Sheldon.
They will probably say nothing about
prohibition, since part of their candi
dates are pledged to county option
and part of them oppose It.
Tho Democratic platform will tako
up particularly tho bnnk guaranty
proposition and adopt a strong plank
along that line. They probably will
also tnke a stand against prohibition
In any form, but that Is not definitely
known at this lime. It appears at
least probable that the Domocratn will
not Indorso county option.
Tho selection of now stnto chairmen
will como up at all the conventions.
The matter will probably bo easily dis
posed of by the Republicans, but con
siderable competition will nrlso In
the Democratic convention for the of
fice. Arthur Mullpn nnd A. V. John
eon will be two strong candidates.
