THE NEWS IN BRIEF. An Air Bicycle. Tli JVevv York World Claims to Ilnvr Settled the (titration Tlmt n Mull I'nn lly. The World claims to havo settled tlio question that man can lly. "A reporter has succeeded In Hying for hours here,there, backward and forward, and up and down In tho air. With tho aid of a bicycle at tachment and a pair of wings.or aeroplanes, as the scientists call them, tho problem of nian-illght has been solved. No other Hy ing niachhie was over able to stand still in the air. No balloonist or aeronaut ever contrived to riso In the air or descend with out using any ballast or letting out gas from his balloon. And, of course, no aerial machine ever constructed could turn around In tho air and travel backward. Tho World's wonderful llying machine docs all these things." Tho machine, which has been tested In tho country, is now in llrooklyn, and as soon as It can be put together a reporter will, it is said, taku a trip over New York and astonish the citizens of the metropolis as Darius Green proposed to astonish the rustics of tho county fair. The lly of the wonderful new machine will be awaited with intcrest,and If it does all that Is claimed for It perhaps the popular bicycle may be superseded by tho machine, which is inde pendent of good roads, though, like tho wheel, sensitive to punctures. The Corn Crop Safe. It Will !lve (lie Fnriurr .Illicit .Money nml llnve nil KIlYct mi firm-nil Ilusl lirss. Eacli week brings the West near to tho time when tho largest corn crop ever gath ered will be secured. It is so far advanced in Kansas and part of Nebraska that it Is practically out of the way of possible dam ago from hot winds, and another week will put part of It beyond harm from early frosts. About every weii-iniormeu rail road man in the West estimates tho crop at not below 12,'.!o0,000,000 bushels, and some say L'.oOO.OOO.OOO. The state reports coming in make the yield larger than the government figures a month ago, so that there will bo corn "to burn" in tho far West. Tho corn crop, combined with the large yield of oats, will give the farmers more money than they have had for years, and enable them to pay off a good part of their debts and also to buy goods freely. The prospects are for the largest grain tratlic that the granger roads have had for years, and also a very heavy trallic in merchandise and manufactured goods. The movement lias only fairly started, but in another week it will be greatly enlarged. General managers of most of the roads aro out in specting their lines and ordering repairs made in all parts. iell. " Coxry n (atilirruntnrliil Caiiill tlnte. "Gen." .1. S. Coxey, who led tho com monweal army from Massilon to Washing ton, has been nominated for governor by tho Ohio Populists. There is richness in tho platform adopted, which declares for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of HI to 1, demands the abolition of national banks, indorses the eight-hour labor sys tem, indorses Coxey's good-roads idea, de clares it treason to issue interest-bearing bonds In time of peace, pronounces the Debs trial a subversion of the right to trial by jury, demands that all public monopo lies bo nationalized, favors state control of the sale of intoxicating liquors without profit, and declares in favor of the election of all state and national otliccrs by direct vote of the people.

Hoys have repeatedly raided :he fruit trees of the Flagler grounds, jiiss Flacler saw young Green and a companion enter the yard and her warning to them to withdraw was unheeded. She fired three shots with the revolver, but had no intcn Hon of Injuring them. The jury discharged Miss i-Iagler, not considering ner responsi ble for the boy's death. The ball entered the boy's head. His father is a messenger in one of the executive departments. llilllilreils of IHwircei Invalid.

An Italian was waylaid by four ne groes on Sunday, robbed and shot four times. A mob of over u00 Italians started out for the negro village two miles west of Spring Valley.

Defender won the yacht race Saturday from Newport to Vineyard Haven, finish ing about six minutes ahead of Vigilant and 20 minutes ahead of Volunteer. Tho Vigilant was handicapped 52 seconds and tho Volunteer 53 seconds. Taken from these figures, tlio Defender's win over the Vigilant Is 5 minutes, 32 seconds.

"There Is fun In fish ing and talking about it, and fun In hav ing fishing organizations, but beyond all that, and beyond all the material advantage to a state as favorably situated as Vermont is, may be mentioned tho educational part of fishing and hunting as Intelligent and respectable people do. It brings us into in tercourse with our Mother Nature. There are the water and rocks and trees and skies everywhere, and no man has so fine an op portunity to study out what tlio whole life of nature is as he who devotes some of his time to following the woods and water. 1 am fond of fishing. I like to make a good string and tell a good story. But the real pleasure of all these sports and rests is that they liilug us into communion with what tends to make men belter." Owen Kaymond, aged 50, an inmate of the Woodstock poor house, committed sui cide by hanging Sunday, in a fit of tempo rary aberration. It is reported at Bane that a big syndi cate is being formed, with members in va rious parts of the country, to purchase all the large granite plants in Lhjjt section.

Oregon people are raising a stron pro test against the continuance of the horse cauuiug industry in that state. The y claim that it will injure the reputation of the state and of other canning industries. They don't want people to say or think "dead horse!" when they see the brand "Oregon" on canned meats. The horse cannery has started business, but little Is heard from it as yet. A strange phenomenon of the season is the fact, as reported, that theSt Lawrence river is three feet lower than usual, and lower than it has been known for 50 years. This low pitcli of water has closed a num ber of channels heretofore open to steam ers, and rendered navigation in several places difficult. No adequate explanation Is given of this remarkable falling of tho river. The phenomenon is not confined to the St. Lawrence. It is seen also in the Niagara and Lake Champlaln. An interesting exhibit to be sent to the Atlanta exposition by the women of Cobb county, Ga., Is the noted "battle-scarred cabin" from the battlefield of Kenne saw Mountain. It is a plain log cabin, about 20 feet square, and was situated just behind the Confederate breastworks. It of fered a good mark for some of Sherman's batteries, and was bored in every part with shells and peppered with bullets, but did not take fire. There are over 30 clean holes through its walls made by federal shells, and many hundreds of bullets are burled in the logs. The cabin is to be taken down and rebuilt In the exposition grounds. The New York and New England rail road company has found a "bottomless pit" at Towantic, ten miles west of Nat- erbury, Conn., at an elevation of 1000 feet. A swamp at that point was bridged when the road was built. Hecently tho company built a temporary track around the place and began to fill In tho trestle work, as It had given evidence of weakness. Over 2,000 loads of gravel havo been dumped oil the trestle, but no perceptible effect has been made. The gravel dumped at night is swallowed up and disappears from sight before morning. When tho western exten sion of tho road was built, a dozen years ago, a bottomless pit was found at Wha- len's Pond, west of Brewster's, and for months It looked as though tho pond's hunger for gravel would never be filled.
