A BIG GUN BLOWN UP.
A fifty-toner explodes
PREMATURELY.
American anil Foreign Naval Expert*
Narrowly Eirapr Heath—The Final
Test of a New Missile Deatrny* a
•28,000 (title at Indian Head.
(Ireat tionil W hat a NoUe.
Wabhixotox, June 11.—Since last
September the ordnance experts of the
navv have been making tests of a gun
cotton shell, the invention of a Chica
go man. A dozen or more “blank'’
shells have been fired during the win
ter, generally with great success, and
the officers were confident that when
the final test was made the shell
would leave the gun safely and carry
its heavy load of explosive fur down
the river.
Late yesterday afternoon the final
test was to be made with a twelve-inch
breeeh-loading rifle weighing 101,000
pounds. A large number of naval ex
perts and officers were present. For
some unexplainable reason the cart
ridge exploded before leaving the gun,
and the rifle and carriage were
wrecked and the pieces thrown a mile
down the Potomac. The armor cov
ered “gun proof'' was wrecked, and
those who had taken refuge in it nar
rowly escaped with their lives.
Colonel O'Neill, the chief of ord
nance for the navy, and several United
Btates naval officers and naval at
taches from the various foreign lega
tions had fortunately taken refuge on
. a navy yard tug about u mile from
shore. Lieutenant Anderson, who had
Ik. ...... 1... wUw.
triclty when the signal was given from
the tug, had gone behind a big earth
work, or "butt,” about 300 yards from
the gun. He and the other spectators
were unhurt, though a massive piece
of the gun weighing many tons flew
through the air and struck the water
within a hundred feet of the tug.
If the spectators had gone into the
‘‘bomb proof,” as they usually do
when such tests are made, they would
all have been killed, for a big piece of
steel struck It and ripped through the
twelve-inch armor as if It had been so
much paper. A great hole was torn in
the ground where the gun stood, and
the buildings at the proving grounds
were badly shaken. Not a particle of
the massive gun or carriage remained.
The virtue of this shell was that it
was expected to carry safely a charge
of gun cotton large enough to wreck u
battleship or a fortress, for a distance
of from six to ten miles, according to
the powder charge, liy an ingenious
arrangement in the point of the shell
a vial of fulminate of mercury was to
be shattered when the shell struck,
and this mercury was expected to ex
plode the gun cotton. Up to this time
no successful shell of this kind has
been invented, and if the shell had
been successful it would have revolu
tionized naval orduance and warfare.
This was the largest charge of gun
cotton ever fired or attempted to be
fired from a powder gun.
The government paid about 825.000
for the gun blown up, and it was built
especially for these testa. A ehell shot
from this gun was expected to perfor
ate twenty-one inches of steel at a
distance oI 1,500 yards, and to travel
from six to ten miles before losing its
momentum.

Tariff DI*cq**1oii.
Wasiuxotox, June 11.—The Repub

the duty of ten cents a pound on tea.

PHOTOGRAPHING SOUND.
The Latest Wonderful Invention of tbo
“Lit hoplione,"
Nf.w York, June 11.—The Herald to
day says: The process of photograph
ing sound waves from the plates,
reproducing the original sounds has
been, it Is announced, successful
ly carried out by the Rev. A. 61
Ferguson, a baptist minister, now liv
ing in Brooklyn. The machine con
sists of two discs, each about seven
inches in diameter, revolved by ordin
ary cranks. One of these, the re
corder, is horizontal; the second, the
reproducer, is revolved perpeDdicu
lurly, Mr. Ferguson said:
“About six years ago it struck me
that it would tie possible to photograph
nonnd by manipulating a ray of light
nnd reproducing the sounds recorded
by such manipulation upon u sensitized
plate. The ‘Iightophone,’ as I call
this instrument, 1 have secured by
patent ltoth here and in England.
“1 arn now working on a machine to
not only record sound, but to repro
duce it in typewriting, nnd I am con
fident that 1 can do so. Many sci
entific men. here and in Europe, have
written to me about It.
“The possibility of using this instru
ment in laboratory work is very great
for comparing wavfi sounds, inflec
tions, modulations, crescendos and so
on of the human voice. J am now
constructing a dinphrughm that will
record, perhaps, even a whisper.
“There Is no electricity employed in
the production or recording of tones in
the Iightophone. The sounds are pro
duced by vibration, or more properly,
pulsation."
A FRENCH DUEL,
Members of the French Nobility Fight
Over • l.ady'e Ilsnlerlng ItrinsrW.
I’At.is, June 11.—All 1’aris is talking
of a d*ei with swords fought yester
day afternoon between two members
of the old nobility. Count Robert I)e
Montegijuoin and Henri He Regnier,
at Netilly lo Vallols, growing out of a
remark made by Mile Heredia, the '
sister-in-law of Register, a few days
ago in the suion of the baroness Al
phonse l)e Rothschild. Mile. Heredia,
who was with her sister. Mine. Regier,
A__A 41... _- 4 l_ I
some cane carried by Count De Mon
tesquoin, who stood near her, und re
marked that it was just the sort of a
cane that might have been used at the
charity bazar fire to beat the ladies.
The count, who overheard the re
mark, interpreted it as an Insinuation
of cowardly conduct on hia part to
ward women at the fire. Immediately
withdrawing from the salon, lie sent
a challenge to M. De Kegnier, who was
escorting his wife and sister-in-law,
and at midnight hla seconds were ap
pointed and preliminaries for the duel
arranged. On consideration, the sec
onds of De Rcgnler submitted to the
count's seconds that the remark wu
one of mere banter, upon which the
count ought not to place so serious a
construction, and urged that the mat
ter be arbitrated. The Count De Mon
usque thereupon twitted De Regnier
with being afraid to meet him and
branded him in the newspapers as a
coward.
This resulted in a challenge from
De Regiuer, after three days spent in
the discussion of conflicting state
ments as to the precise words used by
Mile. Heredia and Mine. De Regnier,
who has echoed her sisUr's remarks.
The Count de Montesquoin immediate
ly accepted the challenge.
The combatants fought each other
with the greatest vigor and for ten
minutes fought to kill. In the third
encounter the Count De Montesquoin
was severely wounded in the back of
the right hand. The surgeons then
interfered and refused to allow the
combat to proceed.
The affair has made a tremendous
talk, and it may prove the first inci
dent in a general boycott socially of a
number of men who are persistently
accused in certain quarters of having
displayed the rankest cowardice at the
charity bazar tire.

An F.ffort Made to I’rnt* Him
Mentally tleranged.
(iod Told Him to Do It.
Rush, the Wayne county murderer,
hus been on triul here since Tuesday
morning, says u Pierce dispatch. The
prosecution lias made u very poor case
as far us trying to prove that the de
fendant whs sane at the time of tiie
crime. In fact, some of the state's wit
nesses have helped to prove just the
reverse. The county attorney of Wayne
county, A. A. Welch, und the county
attorney of Pierce county, M. if.
beamy. are doing their best to convict.
Their ia*st witness was Rev, Mr.
Wright of Winside who held special
meetings in the church about live miles
from the place where Hush lived. Mr.
Wright testified that he iirst noticed
Hash In the church one night about
two weeks before the tragedy occurred.
Hash eamc in with his family, lie no
ticed Hash acted rather strangely, as
lie moved about in ills seat so many
times. Rush and his wife came at dif
ferent times during the two Weeks lie
fore the tragedy occurred. One night
Mrs. Rash professed conversion and
came forward to tiie altar. About two
nights afterwards Mr. Wright asked
Rush if he was saved and lie replied
that lie had "got religion like the devil."
The night of the murder Rash came to
church alone. After the services Were
over Rev. Mr. Wright came down to
the stove and was putting on his over
shoes when Rash came along and picked
up the minister's soapstone and started
for the door. Mr. Wright asked him
what he was going to do with his soap
stone. Hash said in- had use for it.
When Hush reached the door Wright
again spoke to him about the soapstone
and Hash said it was his now und that
he was going to take it home. The
next time he saw Hash was when he
was in juil at Wayne. Rash told him
that he was doing tiod's bidding in kill
ing ids family, that one night prior to
tli,. bllllnir li*. Iiildlcfl Itt) I) i tclLUl illlfl
started for eliureh. but Gisd told him to
go down in the field to it haystack and
pray. Me did so and went to another
stack and also prayed. Me saw two
great sturs in the heavens and saw mul
titudes of soldiers in cornstalks and
became frightened and rode back to
the barn and crawled from there on
bis hands and knees to the house. Me
went to the door arid then peeped into
the window und then went into the
house. Me said that after church he
rode home, jumped out at. tlie gate and
went to the house without trying to tie
llw horses. Me knocked at the door
and his wife opened it and lie walked
in and said she must die. and as lie said
it he lifted up that soapstone to strike
her. She told him to wait a minute,
and he, thinking she was going tocon
fess, dropped the stone on the floor and
broke it. Mis wife tried to get the
pieces, but lie was the stronger and
got them and floored her with a blow
ami then pounded herskull all to pieces.
The little boy jumped out of bed and
exclaimed. “Oh. papa, what have you
done?" Hash also killed him with the
soapstone, as he also did the little girl
and baby. Me insisted that God told
him to do it.
Yesterday morning the state rested.
The defense called neighbors to prove
that Kush was mentally deranged. A
deposition from his mother in Missouri
was reud in which she said that Rash's
father killed himself at tlie age of fit),
his brother died in an insane asylum
and he also had an uncle and aunt that
were insane. Rush's brothers mid sis
ters all swore that he was insane.
After noon Rash was called to the
stand and told a rambling story, main
ly corroborative of that told Rev. Mr.
Wright by Rash in the jail at Wayne,
the only exception being that he saw
more stars on the night that he went
to the haystacks to pray. They seemed
to fall like hail. Me heard the sound
of chariots also, lie said that his au
thority to kill his family was taken
from Revelations, second chapter and
from tlie twentieth to the twenty-fifth
verses. Me hated to do it, but God
commanded him to do it and lie did it
as quickly as lie could. Me said that if
any of Ids neighlairs had touched him
tie would have shot fire ut them out of
it in mouth. Me saw golden arrows near
him and asked the Lord for one. 'i hen
they all vanished. When he was taken
to jail tin- Lord told him to fast ten
duys und then lie would be set free.

A NOBLE WORK.
Bow Qosen Vlrlotlt'l JoIiIIm l( to lie
Turned to Oood Account.
On May 24th last at the Paxton Hotel
In the city of Omaha, a goodly number
of the representative citizens of Ne
braska and Iowa, of liritish birth, met
together and organized the Victoria
Diamond Jubilee Association of those
states, for the purpose of commemo
rating the sixty years reign of Queen
Victoria, as on the 20th day of June
Her Majesty will have occupied the
throne of Great Britain for tlist length
of time. Inasmuch as the Queen lias
expressed a wish that all moneys raised
be devoted to the relief of those in sick
ness and in distress, very liberal sub
scriptions have been received from
many noble minded individuals who
have the welfare of their fellow beings
at heart, and already some ten millions
of dollurs have been raised in the Brit
ish Isles alone. The officers anil mem
ber* anil friends of the Victoria Dia
mond Jubilee Association of Nebraska
and Iowa have gone to work with a
will, and it is hoped that u large sum
may be secured by voluntary subscrip
tion from the charitably inclined of all
nationalities, and more especially those
of liritish birth and descent, which
shall be expended in the relief of those
in need anil distress The names of
the geutlemen connected with the As
sociation are a sufficient guaranty that
tlie movement will prove u successful
one and that all moneys received will
be accounted for. Tlic secretary is
John I.aiigliluml. H07 Howard street,
Omaha, Neb., who will answer all in
quiries and give all desired informa
tion anil he will be particularly pleased
to bear from those who will take an
interest in the objects of the Associa
tion and will assist in muking it a suc
cess.
On the evening of June 21st a con
cert and entertainment will be given
at the Creighton Theatre in Omaha,
and those in attendance win have tne
pleasure of listening to some of the best
musical and oratorical talent of the
country, and on Tuesday afternoon,
•June 22nd, a regulur old-fashioned
liritish picnic will be held at Lake
Munawa, the pleasant pleasure resort
located four miles from Council iilulTs,
where all sorts of games and other
amusements will be provided for those
in attendance.
Nebraska Is Interested.
The board of trans]M)rtation of the
state of Missouri lias rendered a decis
ion in a coal rate case brought by the
Arthur Coal Mining Company of Pana
ma, Mo,, against the Missouri Pacific
Kaliroad company. This is the same
case that has been tried before the Ne
braska state board of transportation,
the decision of which is still pending.
In both tliisstute and Missouri the rail,
road company denied the jurisdiction
of the board to hear and determine the
case, setting up tiie claim that it relat
ed to interstate commerce. The de
cision of the Missouri board is that it
lias jurisdiction, and the order is made
that the railroad company make the
reduction asked for, in other words
ship the mine run coal at mine run
rates, A copy of the decision was re
ceived at tiie office of the Nebraska
board, and it is probable that a similar
decision will be rendered in the near
future, as tiie cause of the delay has
been that the board was waiting for
the Missouri board to take action.
The Chicory Interest.
Washington dispatch: Chicory in
terests will he partially taken care of

Senator Thurston has labored untir
ingly witii tiie members of the com

committee has decided that a tariff of

Dingley bill.
There will not be any new sugar
schedule, according to one of the best
informed senators interested in this
branch of the tariff, lie said that
there might be some modifications
made in the paragraph ns reported by
the senate committee, but if made they
would be an additional hurt to the
sugar trust.

SUGAR SCHEDULE DEBATE
A labyrinth ol Technical Detail* of
little Public Interest.
Washixotom, June 12.—The long
deferred debate on the sugar schedule
of the tariff bill came on abruptly at 1
o'clock yesterday, after the Senate
had disposed of the cereals in the agri
cultural schedule. Senators and spec
tators soon lapsed into a state of
indifference as the speeches dealt with
a labyrinth of technical details, of
vital interest, though, to the sugar re
(Iner and expert.
Mr Jones of Arkansas opened the
debate, to some extent answering Mr.
Aldrich's statement on the sugar
schedule. It was argument active and
lacking in any severe denunciatory
features. The Senator held that the
rates proposed gave the refiners an
excessive differential and pointed out
how they had thrived on the one
eighth differential of the present law.
Mr. Vest severely criticised the
Sugur trust and urgued that the rates
were a further tribute to its vast re
source*. Mr. < a fiery ol liouisiana
also opposed the schedule as a whole.
Karly in the duy Mr. Tillman of
South Carolina made a lively speech in
favor of the amendment giving an ex
port iluty on agricultural products.
After some running debate a vote
was taken on the Cannon amendment,
providing an export bounty for agri
cultural products, and it was defeated
—yeas, 10; nays, 50. The aflirmutive
vote was given by Messrs. Allen. Mut
ler. Stewart, Harris of Kansas. Heit
fcld, Populists; Cannon, Mantle. Petti
grew, silver Republican*; Roach and
Tillman, Democrats.
Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota gave
notice that he would offer his amend
ment to admit free of duty goods made
by trusts at the end of the sugar
schedule.
Co-Orillnat* With Judiciary.
Minnkatoms, Minn., June A‘l.—Judge
Simpson, of the district bench, bunded
down an opinion that while it was the
duty of the governor to respond to
tile grand jury's subpoena and to pro
duce such papers as it required, ho
could not be compelled to by the judi
ciary part of the state government,
which is only co-ordinate with and not
superior to the executive. The gov
ernor is exempt from judicial process
while in discharge of his duties anil
he alone is judge of when such process
would interfere with such duties. He
is amenable to the legislature alone,
which may impeach him for violation
of duty._
