The United States government has es

It is situated just to the right of the hotel,
where an excellent view of the buoy can be
had. It is the duty of the station keepers
to report all war ships which came in
sight to AVashington. The station is con
nected by telegraph and telephone lines to
Brunswick.
At the pier, the government has built
two forts, which are now mounted by four

BALLOON TRIP
DID NOT GO OFF.
Tampa Gas is Too Heavy for
the Use of the Signal
Corps.
Tampa, Fla., June 26.—The first exper
iments with he observation balloon were
made today.
Major Reber, Professor C. E. Pellew,
Tracy A. Tisdall and five privates of the
signal corps visited the gas works on the
outskirts of the city and began the work
of instruction at 7 o’clek.
Mr. Tisdall is a professional aeronaut and
expert balloonist, who was sent here to
instruct the corps in the proper handling
of the balloon, which is a silk creation
from Paris, with all the latest improve
ments.
The large light silk envelope was laid
upon the ground and the cordage net dex
terously slipped over it. To properly do
this is a difficult task and the corps re
ceived instructions in detail. The tap
from a four-inch main was then removed
and the gas was allowed to inflate the
great body.
As the vessel filled the expert watched
every guy and weight, instructing the
corps thoroughly. When the inflation was
complete it was found that the specific]
gravity of the gas was -too great to lift
more than the balloon and car. No ascent
was made. The 1,000 feet of cable which
is used to regulate the altitude remained
uncoiled, but the lift was sufficient for
the ground work to be practically illustra
ted. The modes of handling, loading and:
unloading the balloon were demonstrated.]
When the gas was released to repack
the balloon 'Charles G. Bell, of Denver.
Colorado, was.asphyxiated and for nearly
two hours was unconscious. It required
much effort to restore him, but this even
ing he is out of danger.
The balloon has a capacity of 21,000 eu
blc feet and when elevated Is drawn down
by either hand ar steam windlass, which
the corps is equipped with.
They are also equipped with facilities for
manufacturing thair own gas, but can only
produce 1,000 cubic feet per hour, there
fore it will require nearly a full day tot
inflate the balloon when in the field.
Additional experiments will be made
when the gas company furnishes lighter
gas. At that time an ascension will be
made and observations taken. The corps
in charge of the balloon will be rushed]
over to Cuba at the first opportunity. i

ODDFELLOWS ARE
SUING WOODRUFF
Case is Being Heard in the
Citv Court To-
day.
In the city court this morning the case
of the grand treasurer of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellews against Mr. D. B.
Woodruff for the recovery of an amount.of
money paid to Mr. Woodruff for drawing
the plans for the Oddfellows’ orphan home,
came up for a hearing.
This is the same case that created some
what of a sensation at the meeting of the
grand lodge of the Oddfellows which was
held in Savanah a few eeks ago.
The claim made by the Oddfellows is
that Mr. Woodruff drew the plans for the
Oddfellows’ orphan home, and charged SSOO
for his work.
The money was paid, but afterwards it
was thought that the charge was exhorbi
tant, and that Mr. Woodruff agreed to re
his odarod rador darodaradrodaroadordw
fund S2OO of the amount and gave his notes
for that sum. These notes have not been
paid.
Mr. Woodruff says, however, that when
the matter of the charge for drawing of the
plans was brought to his attention, while
not admitting that the charge was exhor
bitant, he said that he would subscribe
S2OO to the orphans’ home.
But the orphans’ home plan fell through
and he did not pay his notes and he did not
think that as the orphans’ home is not ta
be built he should be held for the payment
until such a time as the home is to be
built.
The verdict rendered by the jury this
morning was for S2OO in favor of the grand
lodge of Odd Fellows, who were represent
ed in the trail by Mr. J. S. Tyson, of Sa
vannah.
