THE O3VLAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY , MAY 3 , 1805.
( CCpJTlKlll , 1JM )
On .1 cortnln hot day In August , 13 , the
time b.ill on the Wettcrn Union telegraph
building , In the city ot New York , dropped
precisely at noon. Instantly thereafter there
was a chorus of steam whittles and then
silence. The whistles attracted no particular
attention ; the silence did. People gradually
became conscious ot It. They mlised some
thing. They stopped and thought about It
and looked at one another Inquiringly , and ,
presently the great tldo of humanity which
1 always moving In one way or the other
on Broadway ceased Its flow ; little groups
gathered on the street corners and Invaded
the roadway. Just as If some procession were
expected to pasi.
The great thoroughfare presented an odd
appearance. Vehicles there were , as usual ,
of all sorts strcat cars and truck ! and carts
and coaches but all were standing still. The
drivers were unhitching their ho'rses and
leading them away. On the elevated railways
the trains had ceased running. Passengers
from those which had stopped between sta
tions were alighting and walking along the
structure or clambering down from It on
ladders. On the river fronts the ferryboats
remained In their slips ; the busy tugs were
moored to their piers. Only a few sailing
craft drifted lazily about In the harbor.
The silence continued perhaps ( or half an
licur. Then there came a dull rear , not the
muMled din always arising from the streets ,
but that of escaping Etcam , great clouds of
which could bo seen rising over the city. In
fact , every holler was blowing off , for , as If
by common consent , every escape valve had
been lifted nnd every fire had been hauled.
At the gas works the furnace doors stood
open and the retorts empty. In the telegraph
ofllces the Instruments clicked away , but no
one heeded them. In the postofllce and at
the stations and In the street boxes the letters -
ters accumulated , for the mall wagons had no
drivers. The machinery In nil the factories
of New York stood Idle. " No conveyances
moved , and upon every "industry a sudden
stroke of paralysis had fallen. And this was
the cause of It ;
Michael McCarthy , vender of "grow
ing shamrock plants , " bog , oak or-
naiitnnts and shlllelahs In Queenstown
harbor , having engaged In too pro
longed chaffering on board the Teu
tonic , suddenly discovered , at the close of his
bargaining , that the green hills ot his im-
tlve land were fading In the dim distance at
the rate of twenty knots per hour. He arrived
In New York on the eve of a close election ,
| - and , without knowing exactly why , he

was conveyed from GUIs Island ta a natural
ization bureau , and there put In n fair way
to aid us In settling our tariff and other
questions , before tlio Emerald soil had left
his brog.tns. In order to retain this valu
able assistance work was found for Michael
as a cobbler a trade ho had once followed In
the old country In the establishment of Mrs
Helnrlch Shoeffcl , In Avenue A , and there he
was manfully stitching and hammering away
when a visitor , entering the shop , announced
himself as a "walking delegate. " This In
formation Imparted to Mrs. Slioeffcl , was
not disagreeable. Inasmuch as It suggested
extensive- need of shoo leather , but when she
discovered that the visitor said nothing about
the purchase of boots , but simply demanded
the outcastlng ot Michael McCarthy for fail
ure to loin United Cobblers' union No. 61 ,
elio placidly resumed her Interrupted occupa
tion ot binding one of those colossal carpel
slippers , so dear to the east side German
heart , and Ignored him , until the sharp slam
of the sliop door brought from the depths ol
her capacious boeom a. long-drawn sigh ol
"Ach sol" Thereupon Mrs. ShocCfel was
boycotted , nnd the ban was extended to the
merchants who furnished her little supplies.
And thus It worked backward to a great
leather dealer In the Swamp , who , being
contumacious , found himself without truck
men and handlers. And the strike ramified
and spread , and finally the result which has
already been noted came about , and the In
dustries and the conveyances ot the metrop
olis were brought to a standstill.
Now the most singular thing about this
strike was Its remarkably orderly character.
There were no Indignation meetings , no de
nunciations ot "capital , " no breaches of the
peaoo , no mobs ; but In place of these ac
companiments ot the old-fashioned struggle
there was simple stagnation. Labor , as such ,
effaced Itself. U announced the new doctrine
that Its natural antithesis was not "capital , "
but Idleness. U would enforce Ita just de
mands , nut by warfare on capital , but by
stopping work. Society might try how It
liked being made up entirely of leisure
classes.
And society did not like It. Matters were
Indeed bad when the Harlem paterfamilias
had to walk to his Wall street office , but
when It came to sending the wholu house
hold scurrying about after milk and meat
and Ice nay , when ho himself had to play
charioteer to the coal cart things were
clearly getting serious.
The city of New York confronted a great
public emergency. Dut the man to deal with
U was at hand , And the evening of the
fourth day after the general stoppage began
found him calmly smoking a. cigarette upon
ono ot the benches In llryant square.
"I tell you , Smith , " remarked this man
ot destiny to his companion , who was lazily
staring up at the stars , "there U only ono
way out ot this trouble. Something has got
to happen In this { own which will Interest
everybody so tremendously which must Just
grip everybody's attention so closely that
when It happens this strlko business will bo
suddenly forgotten. "
The person addressed yawned carelessly.
In fact , he did not seem particularly Im
pressed by tlio tdra suggested to him , for his
answer was Irrelevant.
"Say , Julius , what are you striking for ,
unyhowT"
"MoT I'm not. "
"Can't you get anything to do ? "
"Perhaps BO don't know. "
"How did you gut out of workT"
"City editor bounced me. "
"What for ? "
"Sent me to Interview the Corean ambassa
dors. Couldn't speak Corean , so I got a man
to come along who said he could Interpret.

V ter. Next day the ambassadors sent a note
to the managing editor that they would be
( long to dinner aV 6 , and before he had halt
tot It through bis head , down they came to
the office. In two four-horse stages , all rigged
up In rainbow clothes. Said I had Invited
them , and when they found there wasn't any
n\eal there was a row and diplomatic repre
sentations In Washington and the deuce to
pay. I left. "
"You might have practiced then what you
preach now , " laughed Smith , "and given
them something Ue to think about , so that
the dinner would be forgotten. "
"Couldn't think ot anything. "
"Well It Isn't ao easy , ot course. Still. I
might have helped you. There's my balloon.
You might have astonished them with It
somehow , dare say. "
"What tort of a balloon ? "
"Dig one. Kind you go up In. "
"What on earth are you doing with It ? "
Sleeping on It after having loaned a man
310 on It and foreclosed the mortgage. Come
along. 'I'm going home. "
Smith stretched himself , got upon his feet
and walked on. The man called Julius sat
thinking. Finally ho rose , and both men
strolled leisurely across the Inclosure.
"Where did you get It , Smith , " said Julius ,
finally.
"What ? Oh , the balloonl That's quite a
story. There was an old chap came to board
THIS THR SUI'KRINTENDENT OF PO
LICE IlEAD AT 10 A. M.
In the house I live In , who was the wildest
sort of an Inventor. One thing he tried
to get up was a telegraph which would send
smells , another was an explosive fate , but
he couldn't get any one to go Into either ,
though he spent pretty much all his own
money In trying experiments. Finally he
braced up for one tact great effort and con
cocted a balloon which he was going to steer
like a boat. Maybe he didn't work over It.
Borrowed money from everybody he knew to
buy silk and cord and things , uut ho didn't
go up. In fact , ho went down. They fished
him out somewhere In Hell Gate. I took
his traps for what ho owed me. "
Julius asked no further questions and
the two walked on In alienee , until his com
panion stopped near the corner of Forty-
fourth street and Third avenue.
"See here , " ho said , "arc you walking In
your sleep ? "
"No. " said Julius , slowly. "I was Jmt
thinking. Do you know that I think I've
got It ? "
"Got what ? "
"I think I can end this strike business
and In the way I said , If I can have your
balloon. "
"If you can tell mo where you live I'll
promise to take you there safely , " said Smith
bantcrlngly.
"I'm In earnest , " replied the other soberly.
"I should llko to go with you to where that
balloon Is and talk about It. "
Smith looked at him , rather keenly this
time perhaps a little suspiciously and then
with a light laugh shrugged his shoulders
and led the way to a shabby brick dwelling
In East Forty-fourth street , the door of
which ho opened with his latchkey and mo
tioned Julius to enter. The hall had that
pscullar combined odor of cabbage and washIng -
Ing soda which characterizes a boarding
house of the cheapest class and was pitch
dark. Smith' ' led the way upstairs by the
flickering light of a match , until the front
uttlo room was reached. There they lit their
pipes and bagan , talking. Diyllght was stream
ing In at the windows , but there was nothing
about the two men to show their loss of
sleep. They were sitting Smith on a trunk
which he had dragged out of the closet
face to face , with both feet on the floor , as
men always do when they talk of Important
things. The balloon had been hauled off the
bed , spread out on the floor and examined.
An old safe near the window had been cleared
of the mass of clothes and odds and ends
which covered It , and IU doors stood open ,
revealing some rusty mechanism. A huge
roll of cotton-covered wire had evidently been
exhumed from under the bed , and Inside the
safe had been found what Julius first thought
wore preserve Jars , but which turned out to
bo the cells ot a voltaic battery dry as to
contents , but needing only to bo filled with
water and acid to make them give a stropg
current of electricity.
A floor board had been lifted In the middle
of the room. Just over the place where ran
the gas pipe which supplied the fixture to
the room below.
At length , Julius arose , and said , em
phasizing his words by tapping the rickety
table with his flngcr :
"We want no misunderstanding about this ,
and I think so far there Is none. You will
surrender this room tomorrow as It Is , and I
will hire It. At the agreed time you will
come back. I will admit you , so that no one
will know of your presence here. I will then
go out openly. While I am temporarily ab
sent from the house , you will do as wo have
settled. You will then leave the house and
disappear. You will not reveal the part you
have taken In this , no matter what may
happen. And ot whatever Is gained I agree
to give you half. "
On the early morning of the eleventh day
after the great strike had begun , any ono
passing through the uptown streets might
have seen groups of people at every corner ,
Intently staring at something In the sky.
Uefore noon these groups had Increased to
crowds , nnd the numbers of the gazers were
reinforced by people at windows and people
on the housetops , all gazing skyward. The
object of their attention was a balloon , whlchj
floated gracefully at an elevation of perhaps
500 feet , but was held by a slender wire ,
which led to somewhere In the vicinity of
the Grand Central depot. The balloon bore
no sign ; hence It was not Intended as an
advertisement. In fact , It was of the dull ,
brownish hue ot the well-varnished silk used
In making air ships tor actual aeronautic use.
THE OBJECT OF THEIR ATTENTION
WAS A DALLOON.
In the small basket which served as a car
there was no one but beneath It was sus
pended an object suspiciously like
a large crockery water pitcher.
Now , a balloon hovering over Now
York , even It It be only one of the miniature
red globes made for children's playthings ,
Is always sure to attract abundant attention ;
but here was not only a balloon , but a large
one , sent aloft for no other purpose than to
corry a water pitcher. Nothing better cal
culated to arouse the always poignant curi
osity of the average New Yorker could have
been Imagined. So the crowds grew larger
until nightfall , rendering- the balloon Invisi
ble , compelled them to disperse.
Uut next morning , the big globe being
itlll there , the popular Interest perceptibly
Increased and people began to move In masses
( award Gait Forty-fourth street , to gome
bous * In which thoroughfare It waa clear
that thi confining wire ot the balloon led ;
but just which house It was difficult to de
termine from tha roadway , Numerous In
quirers rang the door belli of all the houses
In consecutive order , but oa mott of these
residences were flats and the parties whose
bells were rung were Invariably the occu
pants of the basement floor , answers ot an
Intemperate character only were elicited.
As for the house to which the wire actually
led , the abode ot Smith the landlady was too
well accustomed to bitter complaints concernIng -
Ing the performances ot her former Inventive
lodger to pay any attention to suggestions
r inquiries from her callers : and , In fact ,
he Instant she discovered that the hiring
f rooms was not In question a sudden slam
t the front door constituted her sole re-
ponse.
Meanwhile certain reporters , having fer
reted out come little Information , kept It to
hemselvcs until the following startling head-
Ines appeared In an extra ot an afternoon
apcr ;
HORROIUM.
DESTRUCTION AT HANDtt
New York About to Be Laid
in Ashej.
A. Terrible Explosive Suspended Over the
City , and to be Dropped Automatically
IfThere
There was no evidence given to support
his , but supposition and suggestion was so
.rtfully blended throughout a column of
'double-leaded ' , big type that the ordinarily
careless reader would at once Jump to the
conclusion that all the details of the Impentl-
ng danger were definitely known. The
crowda about East Forty-fourth street now
became so dense and unruly that collisions
with the police were freguent. The ditectlvss
neanwhllo had followed the balloon wire Into
he front attic room where the all night
conversation between Julius and Smith had
occurred. There the wire appeared to be
wound around the outside of a large Iron
safe , but Its end , or rather ends , for nearer
nspectlon showed It to be double , entered
a hole drilled In the safe door , which was
locked. On the safe was placed the follow
ng notice :
To the Mayor :
In this safe I ? a voltaic battery which sends
a current of electricity along these wires
o the balloon. The big pitcher Is large
; nough to hold sufficient dynamite to throw
down a block of buildings. The pitcher Is
supported by an electro-magnetic device , so
that It will not drop as long as the strength
of the electrical current remains the same.
But If the current Is weakened or stops , or
the pitcher fastening Is In any wise tamcpsred
with , th ? pitcher will certainly fall. Clock
ivork In the sate will break the current In
Just fifty-eight hours. The slightest attempt
to open the safe door will blow up a torpedo
within.
August 23 , 3 o'clock p. m.
This the superintendent of police read at
Just 10 a. m. on the 25th.
"Time's up at 1 o'clock tonight , " ho said
quietly. The Inmates of the house had at
ready been placed under surveillance. He
no\v gave orders for the arrest of all of them
and for the vacating of all houses cniaa-
gered by the balloon.
II.
The weather was warm and sultry. Little
air was stirring in the streets , but aloft
there were light currents constantly varying
In direction. The balloon was rrow to the
south and west of Its anchorage. The sen
breeze , certain to spring up In the afternoon ,
would waft It probably In the opposite direc
tion. If the wind were strong , the captive
globe would tauten Its wire and move around
a large area ; If light airs prevailed , the- wire
would become more nearly vertical. The
safest place was obviously the house In which
the wire was secured , because only in the
far remote possibility of absolute calm could
the balloon remain directly above the fasten
ing point of Its cable. The wire might be a
couple of thousand feet long. No one Just
then felt like calculating how large an area
of the city was menaced. That It was a
largo one , that It Included both a densely
populated section and raws of the most pala
tial residences In New York was only too
plain.
The authorities at once put the superin
tendent's order Into effect. The balloon being
now- directly over the Union Lcaguo club
house , squads of police Invaded every resi
dence for blocks around the menace , ! ' edifice
and forced the dwellers not only into the
streets , but out of all streets which might
possibly be endangered by falling walls. The
sick were carried out on their beds. Al
available vehicles wrro pressed Into service
0 transport the children , the women and the
aged. Utforo half of the section suppose *
to bo ImmoJlately menaced was thus cleared
the wind shifted and the balloon swung
over the Windsor hotel. While the police
wore emptying this hcstelry the people previously
viously ejected returned to their dwellings
The news had been telegraphed dowr
town , nnd the desertion of the whole busl
ness quarter of the city followoJ. There was
a simultaneous rush for the region of the
reflldencts a rush of men frantic with fear
and apprehension for their Imperiled fam
Hies. Great throngs choked the streets and
avenues. The populace saw the usclevssness
of trying to avoid1 a danger which constantly
shifted its probable point of attack. The
opposition became violent , riotous and
finally the police , literally overwhelmed by
numbers , ceased their efforts. The hotels
and boarding houses remained empty ; th.
occupants of dwelling houses returned and
began less hurried preparations for removal
from the menaced district.
The arrested lodgers had meanwhile been
closely interrogated by tbo superintendent
but none of them could shed the smalle1
light on the mystery of how or by whom thai
balloon had been sent aloft. The landlad.
told of her former Inventive boarder , and
thus accounted for the existence of tlio bal
loon and the safe. The fate of their owne :
the police already knew. Since his death the
room had been let ta ono Smith , who had
departed several days ago , and since then I
had been occupied by one Julius R. Craw
ford.
"Then the question Is , " said the superln
tendent , "where Is Julius R , Crawford ? "
There was a slight commotion outside thi
room , and the young man called Julius
somewhat out of breath , made his wa.
through the crowd ot policemen and re"
porters.
"That Is my name , " he said , quietly. "
heard of this Inquiry and returned here a
quickly as possible. I bad some difficulty In
getting In. "
The murmur of surprise which ran aroun
the apartment was hushed by the sharp orde
of the superintendent that the room
cleared.
"You are under arrest , " he said to Julius
when they were alone , saving the official
stenographer.
"I suppose so. "
"You are not obliged ta answer question
which Incriminate yourself , but anything yoi
say may bo used against you. "
"Tho usual formula ? "
"Ah. you have heard It before ? "
"We'll see. You occupy this room ? "
"Yoi. "
"Any one elss room with you ? "
"No. "
"Any business ? "
"Not now. "
"The landlady says that that balloon and
that safe have been here eome time. "
"Does she ? "
The superintendent looked at the man
Bternly. Julius returned his gaze with entire
calmness.
"You're not disposed to be communicative ,
1 see , " said the officer , finally. "Unlike- the
others. "
"What others ? "
"Oh , come now. This game la up. Your
friends have told everything , and "
Julius laughed contemptuously.
"I have nothing to conceal , no one has V > ld
anything , nor has any ono anything to tell , "
he said , finally. "I did not send up the bal
loon. "
"Who did ? "
"I saw no one do It. "
"It certainly was sent up from this hougj ;
It Is anchored In this room. "
"Quite so during the night of August 21 ,
I understand. "
"Where were you at the tlmo ? "
"Conoy Island. "
"Was that baleen here when you left ? "
"Certainly. He was sewing up the holes
In It. "
"Who ? "
"I decline to say. "
"Did ho tell you what he was going to do
with the balloon ? " ,
"No. " . '
"Did you ask ? " > I ; I J ( i . '
"No purposely. " "
"Why ? "
"I thought I would be questioned by the
police and didn't want to know. "
"When did you return to your room ? "
"Just "
now.
"That Is rather a poor story , my man. "
Julius shrugged his shoulders.
"I suppose , " continued the superintendent ,
"that you know nothing about that notice
tacked up tli re"
Julius read It over qnlbtly nnd smiled.
"You'll find that there Isn't much to laugh
about before you get through. This Is a
matter of murder. "
"Why ? " demanded' Julius.
"Why ! Do you supp u that a lot of dyna
mite can bo drt peu Mo this crowded city
without terrible ( lest/action of life ? " returned
the superintendent. I
"No ; but what la .going to drop the dyna
mite ? "
"Can't you read that notice ? "
"Certainly ; whererdow It say so ? "
"It Intimates as much. "
"Not to my mind. "
"Do you mean t6 say that that balloon
carries nn explosive or not ? "
"I thought you Just said that It did. "
"Never mind what L.c.Ud does It ? "
"I don't know. "
"That will do , " ald the superintendent ,
stepping to the dooN "Wo shall find other
means ot dealing with you. "
The officer who entered snapped a pair of
handcuffs on Julius' wrists.
"Ono moment , " said Julius ; "what am I
arrested for ? "
"As an accessory to sending up that b&loon
laden with a dangerous explosive. "
"Which you do not know is there. "
"Take him "
"Ono moment. Mr. Superintendent ! " There
was a ring In the man's \-olce which made the
officer relax hh hold on h's arm. "You have
omitted to ask one question and the most
Important of all. You believe that a great
peril threatens. In dealing with It , you
merely follow your Instinct as a detective
to flnd the perpetrator. There M a more
pressing need than that. Will finding him
avert the danger If not , how Is It to be
met ? "
The superintendent saw the force of the
remark and motioned the policeman to wait.
"Can you prevent It ? " he demanded.
"Yes. "
"Nevertheless you didn't send up the bal
loon and don't know anything about It. "
"Then why arrest me ? "
"Very well. Prevent It and you go free. "
Julius turned away contemptuously. Then
he said :
"Do you really suppose that that balloon ,
charged , as you say , with a deadly torpedo ,
was sent up simply that I might tell you how
to avoid Its effects In order to get clear of
arrest for not having anything to do with It ? "
"What do you mean ? "
"Simply this. I can prevent this , and so
save , as you believe , Immense destruction of
life and property. I will do so for $100.000. "
"A blackmailing scheme , then ? "
"How so ? "
"To send up this balloon and threaten to
"I WILL DO SO VOR $100.000. "
murder with It. unless you are paid not to
do so. " i
"I did not s nd up the billoon. Even
he apprehension ol Its danger Is all yours
iot mine. "
"Your game won't work. "
"Very well ; lock me up. But remember
ou arresting mo as the perpetrator of this
lUpposcd outrage me , the very person , on
your own showing , best able to apply the
emcdy who Is nof. only able , but willing.
lave you read tuat , notice ? The hours are
( lying , and It will S9on be too late. And
hen whoso Is the responsibility for the
dreadful result yours or mine ? Blackmail ?
s It blackmail ( or the physicians who fight
ho epidemic to ask .their pay ? Does the
ium I ask equal In valup the good I may do ?
When the tmo ! comes for public execration ,
Mr. Superintendent , the psople will Judge
between the man who offers himself as their
avlor , and you , their servant , who con
demned them to this calamity rather than
give the Just reward for their protection. "
And here the conversation ended. Julius
was locked up In the nearest pollcs station.
hortly afterward the mayor , having arrived
on the scene , entered Into earnest consulta-
lon with the supjrlntendent. The result
A as the- posting of hand-bills all over the
city , and the publication In all the newspa
pers of a call for suggestions of ways and
means to prevent the balloon dropping Its
oad. For any successful plan a reward of
$5,000 was offered.
And meanwhile , as Julius had predicted ,
he great strike was forgotUn.
