Uncle Kain Imlnlnen In a Little Fourth
of. July at Snndy Hook.
Niw YOIIK , July 25. Tbo llrst high power
gun of twelve-inch enllbro built In this coun
try wns fired yesterday nt the United States
proving ground on Sandy Hook point. The
results , as expressed by the ordnance ofllcers
present , were satisfactory from every stand
point They show that American ordnance
making is equal to thu bast In the world , und
that sea const defenses with American guns
can bo made uffu-jtlvo against any irou-ciads
on the face of the ouerm.
This gun , which is n steal , brooch-loading
rllle , wai sent Irom the national foundry ut
Wi tervleit , N. Y , , to bo tested , moro than n
month ago. It has taken thU time to trans
port the gun from the government docks nnd
mount it In its present position. Lieutenant
Gibson .superintended the firing nnd loading ,
with the assistance of Sergeant Jason War
wick and a party of setters.
At 2:110 : Lieutenant Glb < on reported to his
benioroflleor , Captain Heath , that the new
gun was loaded and ready for firing , wnich
was to bo conducted under a charge of
Uxcuty-llVo pounds of German brown pris
matic uo\\der and a projectile weighing 2.0JO
pounds. Red flags were waving alo.ig the
line of tire , warning passing vessels that n
one ton solid shot would soon bo skipping
along the waters fro.n Suidy Hook pjint.
At 2I0 : ! Lieutenant Gibson gave tnc sig
nal for everybody to leave the gun and go
under bomb proof quarters , and then
touched the electric button which llrod the
lirst twelve-Inch steel breech-loading rifle ,
n type that is destined to be
come an Important factor in the
problem of protecting our almost
defenseless scacoast. Whtn the shot loft the
muzzle of the great gun there was an explo
sion that shook ths very earth. The shot
ploughed its wav through the water llvo
miles to the eastward. It lirst struck the
water about ono thousand yards from thn
shore nnd then ncochettcd , making n bound
of about II fly feet in thu air. It struck again
about ono hundred yards further oil , throw
ing aloft n great volume of water , m i le .1:1 :
other plunge and wns lost to view.
As soon as the gun was cool Lieutenant
Gibson and his corps of assist Hits swung
open the 2,000-pound bieoeh plug , and made
an examination of the elVect of the first lire.
The ptebsure linages sho.ved 20,00. ) pounds
to Iho square inch , with nn initial velocity of
t , 17. ! feet per second. Thcso results differed
but little from those cstim Ued by the ox-
pelts befoio the trial was commenced. The
powder used was that ir.a le lor theteninch
gun , as the "Dupoat lot , " which wasordere.l
especially for the twelve-inch gun , find been
delayed owinc to an accident nt the factory.
This explobivo will bo slower in burning ,
thus allowing u greater charge than the Ger
man prismatic powder.
Ye.sterday's tot was an important ono In
the history of heavy ouinun-o in this coun
try , and shows that American guns are
equal if not superior to any that can bo
built abroad. The great Krupp rillo of the
same calibre can only tire a charge of i50 !
pounds of powdor. Under ordinary service
conditions the American gun can .stand 110
pounds and attain a ranzoof twelve miles.
The forgmgs. tune and jacket of this gun
were furnished by Snydcr & Co. , in Frinco ,
but the bearings weio made at Watervleit und
the jackets shrunk on and built up u.ider
the direction of Captain L. L. BrulT ,
of iho ordnance corps. Since the
building of this gun the foundrv nt
Watervleit has been enlarged nnd a new
plant added there , and at the Bothlchcm iron
woiks , so that now all parts of the heavy
guns can bo built in thu United States , mak'-
ItiK us entirely independent of the European
manufacturers.
Few realize what an expensive luxury
Uncle Sam indulges in when one of these
stool monsters opens its mouth. Every tire ,
Including powdor. charges and projectile ,
costs from SuV ) to fWJ. As the regulations
require 80 , ) or moro shots baforo the raniro
power aud durability can bo ascertained , this
llttlo experiment with now guns will foot up
f50OUO to the department
A largo barge brought tlu pondorom mass
ns fur us Brooklyn , where It was transferred
to n floating derrick. The latter was
towed to the government dock * at
Sandy Hook moro than n month airo.
As this antiquated ructuio was to support
fifty-two tons of gnu metal it was lushed to
n cradle botvyeon two scows. These were
beached nt high water nr.d the gun and
crndlo were towed ashore by the aid of
rollers. Once on shore , a capstan plicod
some distance ahead wns used to warp the
gun from point to point. In addition to this
great twelve-inch gun there is also a twelve-
inch monster ready for trial at S'indy Hook.
The number of guns that will bo completed
by the end of the year isyii is nine eight-inch ,
llvo ten-inch ami two twelve-inch suns , the
total cost of which will amount to 1,220,000.
Besides this there will bo considerable addi
tional work done on other guns in various
stages of construction ,

Important Suit at Ij w Involving the
Unptim Denomination.
LBIANO.X , Ind , , July 25. An important
suit at law , which involves the rinhts of n
Inrgo body of churches in the United States ,
has just been decided in the Boon circuit
court by Judge Hill. Mount Tarbor Baptist
church , six miles south of Lebanon , which
was erganlz < fd in 185H , was known as thu
regular Baptist church and conformed to the
views of that organization. Twoor three
> cars ngo n part of the congregation do-
partol from the original articles of faith
adopted and decldcu to become mom liberal
In their modes und teachings. This
move was bitterly opposed by the other
portion of the church , who , however , were
greatly In the minority. The majority Im
mediately proceeded to the expulsion of those
membern who did not agree with the now
order of things , and the matter was taken up
to the Danville association. The minority
was lecognizud by the association to lie the
rueular Baptist church , but the other faction
refused to submit to the decision of the asso
ciation. The majority being In possession of
the church property and defying the church
authorities , the minority brought suit for
ojeetmynt. The trial has been hotly con
tested by both sides , anil occupied eight days
of the session. A largo amount of money has
been spout aud expert witnesses in church
government have tebtlflod In the case. The
court ruled that the minority , having hold to
the articles of faith ns originally adopted by
the Mount Tabor church at Its organization ,
are the rightful owners of the church prop
erty in dispute nnd should bo put lu posses
sion thereof.

"I can stand on the stops of the govern

gregate value of which is at least $ J' J,010
mid to which the nresont holders have no
more title than you have , " said Mr. Sum-

ho says i-IH eo.uploto iu possible and lie ii
hero for thu purple of Instituting lo al pro
ceedings in the foJor.il court to establish
their clitims.
'J'hu story is a most romaritablo one. In
Ib'H , when the land on which Chicago now
st.itiUs was u vast stretch of pr.iirio and
marsh , and thao.ily habitations were ludlui
tepees , and the government garrison KiioWn
as Fort Dearborn , a scion of an aristocratic
Kndish family fell In love with an I ull.ui
princess. As to her charms of in inner ami
person the records are silent , bjt hop dowoi
was large and include. ) miny of thu lien
acres v/bich the government had nlloltoJ to
her triba the Pottawaltouiloi. 'I'tio 12ns-
lisbman's name was Holliday and ho was the
llr.st eoinmander of the fort.
Mr.Sum.ncrlln has in tils poses ioti a tiinc-
stalneil loiter In which Colonel Iloltiday In
carefully guarded phrases broke to liis aris-
toeiatio relatives in England the fact that
ho had loved and murried an nbofiyin.il
princess In the wilds of America.
flic Pottowntamies atthattlnu hold title
to all thu land between whut is now Fnllorton
nvoniio and Thirty-ninth street , alid from
Crawford avenue to thn lake. It w.n fiom
the choicest portion of this trust that tin
pilncoas was permitted to choosohcr portion.
As a result of this union four children
were born , two sons ana two daughter-1.
One of the latter was in Ih'JJ married to
Colonel Jamieson , another officer at the foil
Mr. and Mrs. .Tamiobon had two children ,
Louis and Harriet. In Ibll ) , Louis was rn.ir-
nod to the daughter of the post trader , .1
man name I Uurnt. A daughter born to Mr
and Mrs. Dui-jt , ran away in
the ago of fifteen with a Colon'
Giissett , who was stationed at the
fort , and the couple were m.uried In
thu English consul at Naglio , Mexico. Th
Indian princess. Colonel Holliiliy's wife
died sometime after this marriage , leavin
her prop.Tty to her Kraal grandchild , Miv.
Gussott , who herself died shortly uftor.v.ir i
without issue.
Louis .lamieson , her father , had in th
meantime been appointed paymaster at th
fort , and bought'a largo amount of laiu
wheio now siaml thu cities of Milwaukee
and Jolh't , as well ain other parts of lilt
nois , Wiscon-lii and Michigan , for all o'
which ho secuieu abstracts. In 1SU ( li
went to Texas and died tbero during Hi
war. Tbo abstracts , of the value of wine
they wcrij evidently ignorant , oamo into th
possession of her relatives , and uoinsstiteho
together , were converted into a scrap book.
Mr. Summcrlhi has this book and e\
hibitcd it covered with poetry on the Justie
of the federal cause , with which th
Jntiiioson huirs were evidently svmpnilii/ct5.
By the accidental discovery of Colonel Hoi-
liday's correspondence in an'old trunk In the
possoision of tlu Durst familv , the ioal value
of tno.o abstracts and of their ci lim to his
property was revelled to his descendants
and the matter wus placed in the hands o'

Herbert smoke consumer , ontltlo.l "Tho
Other Side of It" in which was publish. ] I fie
nanie.s of several persons purported to have
b'on f ivorably inclined towards the Hurbo.i\
smoke consumer , some of whom are quoted
as being nuthusiastic even in their
recommendations of It , Amongst thu
list of names so published 1 not iced
John Hoe , whom I had the pleasure
of interviewing on the sarno subject a
few days previously , and who tola tun that
he had been using a Herbert bmoKo con
sumer a year or so and that it was no fjood ;
that it was a dotilmont to his or any other
person's boiler It attached to , etc. Mr.
Uoo is the only person umongbt the list of
names above mentioned with whom I am ac
quainted , and I felt almost elccti Hied at see
ing his namu mentioned In connection with
an article in praise of a device ho so ear
nestly denounced to mo a few days before.
Consequently I su.v Mr. Ron luuln today.
Hu denies giving any ono authority to use
his name in favor of the Herbert binoko eon-
sutnor. Ho said it is no good , that It will
destroy the tlnishuntho .slues of boilers by
oatlng them with coal tor anil a formation of
corroded matter , that strings of boot
I ) f teen Inches long ham ; down from thu sidoi
of the boiler and that 03 a u hole the smoke
consumer lessons by a largo norcontthn
steam making capacity of a boiler , besides
destroying the polished finish of the boiler ,
thereby causing it to become prematurely
pcrUlmhle. Mr. Roe also says that If they
were adapted In the city hall they would
not lust a year there or nnywhoroolbo where
the bollora would bo crowded for high press -
s jrohtuum.
Mr. Roo's ofllco man says Mr. Herbert's
iigent Is the slteueat man hu over met. That
ho took Mr. Rou in by his meloJIous hymn ,
and that It did not surptlbo him to hear tlut
ho had taken In luo city council , who know
little or nothln ? about such things , after
beating Mr. Roe , who had spout his life in
the sumo business. Mr Roo's cleric says that
Mr. Tutlloof the city council vvont to Mr.
Hou's establishment to mnku uti Invostlija-
lion of the htnoue consumer , and that ho just
asked ono question , viz : Does It burn smokol
That ho loft sulUfied with the result of his
investigation and went uwav rejoicing. I
suppose It inado very llttlo diiTurunuu about
the stouiii-muklng ( juiilities or fuel-wing
qualities , orotun Its durability , ns lung at a
burntsmoko. 1 am thoroughly conviiicod that

JUDGE WAKELEY'S ' IMPORTANT RULING ,
Ho HoliU ttio Company Must Do the
Work OrtleriMl or I'ny the
City for lluvlnt ;
It Done.
Judges Donno and WnUoloy were on tha
equity bench yesterday mid handed down a
number of deci-dons that wore tried and taken
under advisement during the progress of the
May term of the district court ,
Judge Wakeluy settled the Injunction that
wns sued out , restraining the paving of Lowe
nventio from Cumtng to Hamilton street.
The injunction remains in force nnd tha
street u 111 not be paved nt present. Last
fall the board of publlo works ordered the
street paved. An Injunction was Issued , the
petitioner' ; setting up the fact that water
connections find never been mado. In hand
ing down an opinion Judge Waltelo } quoted
from the city charter mid state laws.
Ho said : "Tho water works company denies
tin the city has n right to order mains nnd
compel the making of I'onnccttons. Lot this
be as it tiny. Iho legislature has provided
that wl en the company refuses to lav mains
ns wanted , the city may cause the work to bo
done. " This ho regarded as the koy-noto to
the whole situation , and continuing , re
marked that when thu company refused to
perform the work ordered , the city may do
such \\ork and charge tlio expense against
the amount that ttie city owes tlio company.
He then reviewed the situation , stating that
thnutor works company occupied the sumo
relative position as a oili/on aud property
o\\ner. When the city concludes to impiovo
n street , it can lay a walk or cause other im-
pniveinents and charge the expense against
