THE SEMI-WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1897. 3 WAS IT AN AIR SHIP ? A RRMAR K A I i LU OBJECT FLOATS OVEIl WILMINGTON. Hundred of People See It It "Wan Uril liantly Lighted and Moved "West look ed Like It Had Rlgglng-Seen In Cities Out West. Hundreds of people were out on the streets and wharves last night, look ing at a brilliant floating mass in the hfavor.s to the west of the city. It was moving very rapidly, and many persons saw net-work about the aerial wonder. Some of our very best and inoht reliable citizens saw so much of the heavenly stranger that they had not the slightest doubt but that it was the air ship which has been reported from other cities. The ship moved to the west at a rapid rate. It seemed to have something like a search-light facing earthwards, and created a sen sation among all classes of people. The ship appeared to come from thv ocean and passed opposite Markr street dock, going in the direction of the .Vavassa guano works. Some gen tlemen who saw the ship through Held glasses inform us that they could Bee wires and ropes and rigging about it. To the naked eye many colored lights were visible. Kven those who looked at it without glasses admit of no doubt but that it was an airship. OMAHA SEES AN AIR SHIP. Omaha, Neb., March 31. During the last six months an alleged airship han been obse rved floating in the heavens in different sections of this state. For the last three nights it has been seen hovering over Omaha. The unusua occurrence has led to the opinion that an inventor of a real .airship has been testing his machine in Nebraska pre paratory to placing it before the public. The indications are that John C Preast, of this county, is the author of the mysterious machine, though he vigorously denies that such is the case. Preast occupies his time at his country residence, near Omaha, in experiment ing with airships, constructing models, etc., and has been so engaged for the last ten years. Some time ago he told several persons that he would surpris the world with a working model in 1M7. There is no doubt that the light seen in different parts of the state is tha same, sinee the descriptions oy the persons who have seen it always agree. The light is about as large as a loco motive headlight and it seems to bo turned up or down, right or left at th.t will of sojne human agency. Sometimes it is seen rushing through the air at a very high rate of speed, and again is observed stationary or moving slowly through the heavens about half a mile high. The two times in the last week that the light has been seen at Omaha it disappeared near Preast s home. KANSAS CITY STARTLED. Kansas City, Mo., April 4. The lighl that appeared in the heavens over thi: eity last night was watched for more than an hour by thousands of excited persons, who crowded the streets or sought places of vantage on bluffs and houseops. The light was about the size of a locomotive headlight, but wa i brighter and apparently electric. It appeared soon after 8 o'clock on the western horizon, and swiftly approach ed the city until it rode in the sky lik a wonderfully brilliant star, at an angle of about forty-five degrees. Then it moved rapidly from north to south, dip ped down toward the earth and rose again. As the light rose it became quite dirrr but when it was falling or stationary or sweeping horizontally it blazed out brilliantly again. Many persons were eotivinced that it was the search-light of an airship. About 9:lii o'clock thr light suddenly grew small and red and swept off to the horizon in a north westerly direction and disappeared About an hour later telegrams from Everest, a litle town in Brown county Kansas, about sixty miles northwest of Kansas City, announced the appear ance of the same mysterious light that had puzzled Topekans, including Gov ernor Leedy and many other conspicu ous men. a few nights since. One of the dispatches said: "At !':or tonight the light appeared in the southwest so brilliant that it at tracted attention almost immediately. As the airship came over the city tho full power of the wonderful lamps wa t turned on, and the city was Hooded with light. The entire population was soon outdoors watching the aerial nav igator as it n eared the earth, or with the velocity of an eagle darted upward and again in an instant would sail away into space until the light.? merely twinkled. Then reversing, it would sail back over the heads of the astonished spectators. For five min utes at one time it seemed to skirt the lowest edge of a cloud that hung low in the heavens, and it was then that the powerful lights were reflected on the clouds and the outlines of a ship alxuit thirty feet long apparently wero clearly distinguished. "For one hour and twenty minutes the airship was never out of sight, and, while passing back and forth over tho city, it made maneuvers, remaining stationary at different points. At ono time, while the shin was motionless, immediately alnwe the throng, with a clear sky for a background, the light disappeared and nothing was seen but. a black mass for about ten seconds. Then the lights flashed out and the ship moved away to the right. In or der to vouch for the accuracy of the facts set forth. The Times correspond ent here obtained this affidavit: " "This is to certify that we, the un dersigned, saw and watched for somo time tonight the movements of large and brilliant lights that travelled at va rious heights over this city, and that we believe the same was seen at va rious other points, and believe it to bo an airship.' " The signers of the affidavit are J. E Gunn. proprietor of the Commercial hotel: E. E. Mason, of the roller mills; A. L. Stout, a capitalist; Cleve Mc Gregar, of Lyons Brothers, and T. El lington, all men of repute. Kansas City people are nonplussed, there is a variety of explanations, but as to the light itself there is no ques tion. Two liives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers. 129 Florida st., San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is sucli results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs, and Colds. Free trial bottle at R. R. Bellamy's Dnig tcre.

The Vesuvius Overhauled the Tag: Alexan der Jone J ast as She Was Crossing the Fernandlna Bar The llermuda Clowe Itjr (Charleston News and Courier.) Savannah, Ga, April 4. A special to The Morning News from Fernandlna, Fla., says: The Vesuvius arrived here late last night from Jacksonville, and in coming over the bar spoke the tug Alexander Jones, of Wilmington, and took her in charge and brought her to this port. An officer has been placed aboard of the tug, and captain J. J. Atkins, of the ' Jones, has protested and left the tug in the government's hands, and notified the officials that he would hold them responsible for every minute he was de- ' tained by them, as he holds contract for work in the harbor which he was on his way here to do. j The Alexander Jones belongs to the Wilmington Pilots' Association. It is thought In official circles that this boat was to have taken an expedition out here last night, but there are no signs of arms and men to be found in the vicinity. It Is also rumored that the representative of the Spanish govern- 1 ment has made a big mistake. The Vesuvius is still in port, and has the port well guarded against anything of a filibustering nature. The tug Alex- ander Jones Is lying at the railroad docks with her steam very low. j Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. A tele phone message from Fernandina to The Times-Union states that the tug 1 Alexander Jones was brought in there lato last night in charge of an officer from the cruiser Vesuvius. The gov ernment vessel came in today. The tug was seized on Cumberland Sound on suspicion of being a filibuster, but as nothing suspicious was found on her she was held on the charge of violating the navigation laws, being without lights when seized by the Vesuvius. The cruiser was out all night, and her appearance spoiled a large expedition , that was ready to sail from that place. ; The tug Panama was lying at the dock there at midnight with several large barges alongside of her loaded with arms and ammunition. When the Jones came in they took alarm, and the barges were run off up the St. Mary's river and hid, so that when the Vesu vius came in she found nothing sus picious on the tug. As the tug was fired up, and had a big lot of coal on, she was viewed with suspicion. The Jones had a lot of coal on, it is said, and a very large crew for so small a vessel 1. (.w asmngton 'ost.; Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. The j cruiser Vesuvius prevented a Cuban ex pedition from leaving Fernandina last night, and captured the tug Alexander j Jones, of Wilmington, N. C. The cruiser left here suddenly yesterday yesterday afternoon upon information furnished by -Spanish Vice consul Potous that an expedition would leave Fernandina at 12 o'clock at night. The cruiser went down the river and an chored off Fernandina bar. About 12 o'clock a tug with only two lights burn ing at the masthead was seen to ap proach, and the flash light of the Vesu vius was thrown upon her. The tug proved to be the Alexander Jones, and the captain gave as an excuse for his jue&eiiee iiictt iitr was waimig iui lows. An officer from the Vesuvius was nlaced aboard, and then the rrniser went out to sea in search of the Ber- , muda, which was expected. taaWiKSr : nals displayed as those of the Jones. ! The Hash light was again used, at j which the steamer turned and started in another direction. A signal from the Vesuvius brought the steamer to a standstill, however, and it was seen to i be the Bermuda. The Bermuda, how ever, was outside the three-mile lim mr'S thority to detain her. The Bermuda ! apparently had no cargo on board, ; standing very nign out oi me water. The Jones was escorted into the port of Fernandina and turned over to Col lector of Customs Baltzell, who placed ! a deputy aboard. The tug will proba bly be lined for a violation of the navi gation laws in having only two lights displayed. i The plans of the Cubans were for j General Sanguilly to leave this city J with a party of Cubans for Fernandina. A small tug was then to tow two light ers loaded with arms and ammunition and the men out to the bar where they were to be met by the tug Jones with coal and provisions aboard, and every thing was to be transferred to the Ber muda. The quick action of the Vesu vius prevented their plans from being carried out. (By Associated Press.) Jacksonville, Fla., April 5. The tug Alexander Jones, which was seized by the Vesuvius at Fernandina Saturday night, is still detained; but no charge has been preferred. The captain denies that he was doing anything but waiting for tows, although suspicions indicate otherwise. The tug will probably be fined for violation of the navigation laws, for not displaying the proper lights. The Vesuvius returned here to day, but reported nothing new. Cap tain Pillsbury evidently made a mis take in not waiting for the Bermuda to speak the Jones, when it could have been caught as well. General Sanguilly and staff are still in hiding at one of the hotels herer Tutfs Pills Cure All Liver Ills.

Turkey Heady to Jtuh 50,000 Soldier Across the Frontier The Itlockade of Athene to be Followed by Declaration of War Ficb tine In Crete. Athens, April 5. All the preparations for the celebration tomorrow of the an niversary of the declaration of Greek Independence in 1S12 have been com pleted. A public meeting will be held here to protest against the action of the powers toward Greece and pledge sup port of the Greek government in any action it may think fit to take in the premises. In this connection there has been a belief that the celebration of to morrow would be followed by a decla ration of war against Turkey. This feeling, however, is not general. Tues day in Greece is regarded as an un lucky day to enter upon anything of great importance and for this, more than for other reasons, political or mil itary, is based hope that the independ ence celebration will pass off without frontier incidents likely to precipitate the struggle for which Greece has been preparing for the past two months. Although this week is likely to be a fateful one for Greece, the orders of Prince Constantin. the crown prince and commander-in-chief of the Greek forces in Thessaly, are most strict that ' anything in the shape of a demonstra- : tion in the direction of the Turkish frontier must be suppressed. The sol diers and armed peasants, however, are in no mood to be curbed, and no body would be astonished to hear of an aggressive movement at least upon the part of the Greek irregulars. : The Turkish commander-in-chief, Ed hem Pasha, is fully alive to the diffi culty and dangers of the situation and j has already strengthened the frontier outposts, besides taking other means to meet any contingency which may arise. Fifty thousand Turks, with a few hours notice, can be sent across the j Greek frontier- and, according to un- t biased military experts, the Turkish flag might be Hying over Tarrissa a few days later. The Greeks, while ani mated by fierce enthusiasm and desire for war, are not nearly so well dis ciplined as the Turkish trooos. and the 2 MORE THREI You Must Pay Up or Lose The Messenger . - . . .

German officers assisting Edhem Pasha in the campaign prolongs an ticipated difficulty in winning the first battles. It is stated today that the queen of Greece has decided to start immediately for Thessaly in order to superintend, with her daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess Sophia, the field nurses at tached to the Greek ambulance corps. The next actual step anticipated in the eastern game is the proclamation of the admirals of the foreign fleets to blockade the gulf of Athens. This was to have occurred today, but a hitch has occurred at the last moment. No body here seems to doubt that the blockade of the gulf of Athens would be followed, if not preceded by a decla ration of war against Turkey. Larissa, April 5. The crown prince has issued the following general order to the troops: "Officers and soldiers: "In view of the great anniversary to be celebrated tomorrow, I order all the troops under my command to display the utmost self-restraint and not to al low themselves to be carried away by the remembrance of the glorious day. Be sure my orders are respected. CONSTANTIN." Canea, Crete, April 5. The block house of Bubnaria was attacked from several directions by the insurgents to day and the international troops re plied with artillery fire. The fighting lasted four hours. The French com mandant reports that the Greek troops took part in the action. Two European soldiers were wounded. London, April 5. An important meet ing of leaders of the liberal party was held today at noon at the residence of Sir William V. Harcourt. The Earl of Kimberly, the Marquis of Ripon, Earl Spencer and John Morley were present. They discussed for an hour the at titude which they would assume In the event of the warships of Great i Britain taking part in the projected . blockade of the gulf of Athens. Tlie Chicago Markets.

The absence of President Worthington this morning caused Senator Goebel, (democrat) president pro tern, of the senate, to preside at the joint session. According to an agreement made previously, but one vote was cast for each candidate, as follows: Blackburn 1, Hunter 1, Boyle 1. Stone 1. The joint assembly then adjourned until tomorrow. The roll was not called, but a quorum was not present, many of the representatives not having returned from their homes where they spent Sunday. The joint assembly was in session just five minutes. On ac count of the absence of many of the members of the general assembly, the steering committee of the two parties had come to an understanding that un til a quorum is present but one ballot will be cast for each man. and as the news of their agreement became public property, early in the day, there was no interst takn in the joint session save that it might develope some un looked for complication. The Dingley-McKinley bill is very neatly described as "a bill to make those who do the most work pay the most taxes. Charleston News and Courier.

Two of the directors of the agricul tural and mechanical college have ak ed the board of aldermen to allow th hospital that is to be put up for the col lege to be placed cn the edge of "Pul ien Park," and to give the college con. trol around the building. This will hardly be permitted. It is said that Governor Russell and staff are contemplating attending tho ceremonies at the dedication of the Grant monument in New York, but if that be true, he will not Ik? able to start the machinery at the opening of the Tennessee centennial. May 1st, as he has consented to do. There is every likelihod that a Mo ravian church will be established here. There are already quite a numler of Moravians living here. Mention was made a few days ago that the headstones for the Winchester (Va.) dead were being prepared. There are 448 graves of North Carolina sol diers there, and these headstones will be placed in position in June. The new management of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad will, it is said, place negroes in all iositions where they wiil not come in contact with the public. A letter has been received by Auditor Aycr, from a Mr. Picer, from Park Rapids, Mich., asking about the cli mate, resources, etc., of North Carolina, with a view to locating here. There is a plan on foot to start a sheriffs' Institute a gathering of sher iffs -at some given place and discuss thu mode of work in their lines, to hav the state treasurer and auditor, and others who are fully competent, to disj cuss the revenue and machinery act. Circulars to this effect are being sent out. C. T. Bailey has the endorsement of Senator Pritchard and Congressman Pearson for the position of postmaster here in Raleigh. He will have to wait a year, though, as the term of Post master Busbee does not expire until April 1, 1898. Governor Russell will ask the railroad commission to rtduce railway and tel egraph rates. He will ask it to mako the first class rate 2 cents per mile, in stead of Zi cents, as it is now on all roads whose gross earnings are $5,000 per mile. Also to make rate for ten -wona? by teiesrapn ii cents, msteaa or 25 cents, as is now the case. State Auditor Ayer says he will hard ly appoint a pension clerk before Sep tember, when the state pension lxiard meets to pass upon the different ap plications. The receipts of the Raleigh postoffica for fiscal year ending April 6. 1877, wer t $32,583.19. Tn 104 they were $25,000. and have increased $2,000 every year since. This posomce handles more second class matter than any other office of its rank in the XTr.ited States. The cases of both Harrison and How ell were continued this morning until an undecided date. Negro guards were appointed at thr state farms, and the white guards who were retained resigned.

The auditor will declare his intention to make up the tax lists in accordance with the revenue act, and the governor will ap ply for a mandamus to compel the auditor to make the poll tax $1.3S in stead of $1.29.
