J-- Fully 100 residents of this place saw what they call an air-ship going in a northwesterly direction at 8:80 o'clock Sunday night. The vessel was probably 500 feet above the earth and was moving rapidly. At one time the craft rose slowly and afterward seemed to drop a long distance. In addition to the headlight smaller lights of blue, green, and red were seen at the ship's stern. The ship was in sight at least ten minutes.

So many people saw it that there is no disputing the fact. April 13. -A large number of persons claim to have seen an air-ship passing over this city between 10 o'clock and midnight last night.

-It is authoritatively stated that the commissioners will not go abroad before May 1. PRESIDENT'S HOME COMING. WASHINGTON, April The president's home coming was anxiously watched for by a large number of temporary residents in Washington, who are willing to leave that for the uttermost parts of the earth at a moment's notice, if the president will command and give the commission. They watched for the appearance of the flag over the -white house, and it did not appear until after noon yesterday. When the stars and stripes was run up about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon it was greeted as a good sign, and the march of the office-seekers was resumed to the White House.

This army has been quietly in camp for the last four days. The hotel lobbies have been deserted. The office-seekers have been about the capitol begging senators and representatives for their in- dorsement. Some left town, not for home, but for Old Point, hoping that the president would be driven to leave the Dolphin by the rough weather, and take refuge at that place. Others ran over to Annapolis when they heard that the pres- dent was there, and others took advantage of his absence to hunt up quiet rooms and board, to go into camp until the president shall capitulate.

But when the flag was run up over the white house again yesterday afternoon the army was under -arms, and ready to march, and all afternoon the march continued. The executive office was crowded and the long: lines of anxious waiters filled the corridors. WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

The ex- queen, it is said, believes that if the Hawaiians were allowed to freely and unbiased express taeir -will at such a new election she would be chosen president, and thus be placed in the control of her former possessions without a return to monarchy.

MOLINE, April so- called air-ship has been twice seen within two days by reputable citizens of Moline and vicinity. Saturday niglit the thing hovered over this city and finally disappeared to the northward. Yesterday morning about 8:30 the craft itself was seen by farmers living on the Rock Elver bottom, three miles south of here. They describe it as having a cigar-shaped body with broad wing-like attachments on each side. It was too high in the air for the farmers to see the details of the vessel.

WAUKEGAN, 111., April air ship, or what is taken for it, was seen here last midnight by several young persons who happened to be out and had their attention attracted by the strange moving light in the sky. BURLINGTON, April F. L. Bullard, on engine No. 95,0.

of. the fast mail, says he saw the air-ship. He states that when he left Chicago yesterday morning he saw a huge machine in the sky moving along in the same direction as his train. He watched.it for a few minutes and then was compelled to give his undivided attention to his engine for five or ten minutes. When he again looked out the ship was some distance ahead.

He said the train was going at the rate of seventy miles an hour at the time and that when he reached Lisle, 111., the ship was lost sight of, being many miles ahead. Mr. BuUard thought that this aerial schooner must have been traveling at the rate of 150 miles per hour. PLYMOUTH, April is said to be an air-ship was seen here Sunday night by Deputy Postmaster Bailey and Frank Tanner. It was seen 1 about 9 o'clock in the nfcrthwestJ The thing appeared going northwest Lights appeared as large as engine The most important business before the council this evening will be the consideration of the report of the committee on water works.

The lobby will be very large and some important discussions on. the subject are anticipated. The members of the board of water works trustees may be heard before the question is finally disposed of by the council. An ordinance requiring property owners to fill up low landi in the city and all holes in unimproved Ibts, so as to prevent the accumulation of water becoming stagnant in the summer time, will be presented for action. This ordinance is fathered by both the boards of health and public works.

There will be another new ordinance regarding the erection of buildings in the fire limits. The building of the Y. W. C. A.

gymnasium prompted this measure. The ordinance describes accurately the styles of buildings which may be built within the fire limits. The old ordinance is permisible of several translations. The proposed law says that all walls on buildings over ten feet high within the fire limits, must be of either stone or iron, or some other incombustible material. It specifically states that no wooden material can be used in the construction of the wall, even if that wall is covered by iron.

This is the superstructure of the new Y. W. C. A. building.

THE BOARD MEETING. -At the meeting of the board of public works yesterday afternoon, the plats of the Berghoflc and Bottenberg additions to the city were approved. George Hitzeman was granted permission to relay sidewalk in front of his property on Summit street. Petitions were received and filed from property owners along South Broadway, asking the construction of sidewalk along toe street, and from residents on Grace avenue, asking the grading of the street.

He spent half his time away from Cleveland, engaged, as he explained, in collecting for his father, who was supposed to be in the business of importing French horses. According to his own statements he received $100 a month for these services. Moore and his wife have lived on Willsod avenue, Cleveland, for the past few years.

Their house is handsomely but not extravagantly furnished. He kept a fine horse, was always well supplied with money, particularly after an absence from Cleveland, and spent it freely. Mrs. Moore was almost prostrated when the news of her -husband's arrest was received by her, and it was some time before she could control her feel-, ings sufficiently to discuss the situation; Stuns about 27 old, a brunette aad quite handsome'. When Mrs; Moore was asked regarding the alleged- crooked dealings of her husband she stated most emphatically that never in her life has she'received as much as an intimation that any of his dealings were anything but honorable.

GORSLINE'S TROUBLES. Supt. Gorsline did not arrive home till 4 o'clock this afternoon with his prisoner. He was obliged to go from New Castle, to Buffalo by boat to avoid the Pennsylvania officers, who were anxious to take him a prisoner for trial in that state. There was also another delay," several Ohio towns were anxious to take chances at prosecuting the alleged arch swindler.

HE HAD A BOTTLE. Last night the police received several simultaneous calls to the Broadway home of George Lischer. He was drunk and threatened to do the members of his family bodily harm. Sergt. Harkenrider finally arrested him, and this morning the mayor sent him to jail for fourteen days.

Yesterday afternoon his wife gave him $2.50 to purchase feed for the half-starved horses in the barn. Lischer took the money and got on a drunk. He spent the entire sum for booze. The Humane society has looked after this man on several different occasions and he was given a hard dose in consequence. When the officers were preparing to take him to jail this morning Officer Rjmy discovered-that the prisoner had a bottle half filled with whisky in his coat lining.

When Romy attempted to take it away from him Liaher seized it and hurled it against the jail wall. He uttered an oath and said: "If I can't drink it no one else can." POLICE NOTES.
