ATTORNEY -AT-LAW she in A DIVING DEVIL Ooustruotiou of a Torpedo Boat at fc Patersou , N , JM Undo Mysterious Oirouuistaiices , A Supposition that the Subm Mnriuo Coutrivanco is In- toudod to Operate Against British Boats. A litHo over two vonrs ami rt man ailed nt the office of the Do La Mater ron works , nml told the two partners hat ho hail invented a submarine tor- edo boot nnd wished them to build t.cot Ho said it must bo about thirty cot in length by six feel in diameter , lid shaped i like a cignr. Thw mate- ial must i be rivited Iron. Ho wont ni .ft1 some length to explain his ideas , ml when he had finished he inquired low much such n vessel would cost. ) no of the gontlomaii said that § 20- 00 . , would pay for it. The visitor aid ho thought that was reasonable nough , and spoke of entering into n ontract ; with the builders. They ASKK1 > FOll HIS 1IACKGUS , ml ho promptly announced that ho vould never divulge their names , Jle vas asked who the vessel was intond- for , and ho said that , too , must re- nain his secret. Ho refused to say anything more , and the negotiations calm to n stand-still for n time. In a few days i ho returned and proposed hut an estimate be made at the ox- ICt cost of the work , and that this unonnt bo divided up by the number of weeks it would take to do it. Ho said that ho would pay what was duo it the end of cvury week. Ho added hat ho would pay them in greenbacks , s checks would lead to the discovery of the men who were backing him. Hot then gave his name as John P. Holland , of ISO Golden street , Now- nrk. Ho said that ho had formerly been a teacher in n lloumu Catholic school in Paterson. The agreement vas drawn up , and the next week ho appeared , accompanied by A CLEVEIl YOUNO K.VGINEEU vhoso name has not been ascertained. They had full and accurate working ) lans up , and the work began at onco. The young engineer appeared only oc casionally , but Holland made extraor dinary efforts to gain the good will of ho men. i Ho never lost his temper vith the workmen , though ho had some trouble with one or two , who openly avowed their belief that the vessel was for the Fenians. Ho was quite } regular for a time with the noney , and carried the project Jirough , a period of two years with : loticcablo tact. The clever young engineer appeared at intervals and nad exhaustive examinations of the worl Mr. G. H. llobinson , thopait- lor of i Mr. Do La Mater , said this af- .criioon . : "It was a very queer trans action , and created endless talk nnong our men. For a long time wo iiesitated about entering into n con- ract , because it looked suspicious. Holland was so persistent , though , and so odd , that \vo consented to un dertake the work. " Ilavo you any idea who the boat is it intended for ? " "I have a very precise and well-do- lued idea. It is ron THU rcaAs , assert ; as my most positive opinion , and I certainly ought to bo able to give nn opinion , for 1 was personally concerned in the thing from the start. was not sure of this at first. There , was at the time considerable difficulty between Turkey and Kussia , and things were looking warlike all over Europe ; eo wo naturally supposed some foreign government had em ployed this Irishman to negotiate for the construction of n vessel thoycould not , turn out themselves. Ho said ho , had had one built before ho came to the United States , and that as the work was not first class she was to j failure. "Ho stipulated for the very best work , and wo did our best- with him , and got on quite . . amicably for a long while. Every week he'd bring his pile of greenbacks , nnd remark that they were very useful when ono wished to conceal one's identity , and every week ty said he wan satisfied with the work. After a while ho began to get irregular , nnd then ho the sTorrjiu PAYMENT , Wo stopped too. Thou ho came over the works , nnd 1 asked him why didn't go on with his payments. I said that tlio servant girls had some money left , and ho'd better collect il from them nt once , I had begun to suspect Feninnism. He FLEW INTO A PASSION. said wo'd giyo up the work , nnd ho went nway vowing to see us. Then wrote him that if there wns to bo law in the matter wo'd take Cor. hand. IIo appeared next day with an did man named Carroll , of Philadel , who counseled peace mid disap will peared , I made ii ] > my mind that and Carroll was ono of the moneyed men behind Holland , but did not hoar I proof of it till later. Carroll went away , and the work was renewed. hero I Holland came around as before , am : made himself agreeable , Ueforo tljt was finished Mr , Archibald , the left Uritish consul , called on us wild re ' to tlio PBOIIAIILK DESTINATION the boat , IIo was very much exercised good cise over the matter , " \Vu said thai in contract with the inventor re I strained us from giving him nny ol oil points , which might become pub , nnd could not bo" patented after ward. However , wo gave him those it ' : The boat is thirty-one foot drive all , is six feet six inches in di to ameter , shaped like a cigar , driven by screw propeller , by a petroleum oii first engine , and is made of riyitod iron plates , made to stand three hundred 1 pounds of pressure to the square inch , . Archibald was obliged to re- less on the death of his son , ant it , I'ierropont Edwards succoodoc and . Mr. hdwards , who is convinced tune the boat is intended for Fenians blow up English vessels , becumo three more interested in it than his " predecessor , However , it was almost night impossible to learn anything , as the with Irishman was such a clover , Tianpy-go and fellow that ho baflled all detoc any . We finished her in April , ant ning. May Holland took her away. Firs vinced wont to Uoboken. Speculatioi on .l curiosity wore rife to sco what ho voul do with her , but ho innilo her 'ast nnd i loft her entirely alone until : ho curiosity had died away. Then ie MADE AN KXrr.KIMF.XT. , ,0fi got into her and went under water and stayed i theru for nn hour , aten about nnd came back again. 1 his information i from n man who wa m the ' grounds. 1 was also told that . 'icrroiHint Edwards was on tlio { rounds , but have no proof of it. On ho 1th ot July ho ngain went down n lior , mid , ns near M I can K--irn , ins never boon hoard from ninco. Mr. Mwnrds feared that she had Kvu stowed in the hold of sumo ship ; uul akon abroad. This is impose' ' . ! , . , hough , ns them nro only two ( ! , > v- ioliB in the city that could lift her mil properly lower her nwny.'o iwu botli derricks. She couldn't have > eon lifted by either of those moans vilhout our knowledge , so she must itill bo in port. She is n torpedo l > ont could bo tremendously oifuctivo in sinking vessels. " Superintendent Miller , who lias charge of the iron works , says : "The nachino was a complete success , A nan in whom I hnvo every confidence old me of oumo experiments thnt vero startling in the extreme , lie says , for instance , that she was tTNDKll WATKK 1'OUIl HOUlt.S it ono time , and traveled BOVOU miles vithoul rising to the surfnco on anoth er occasion. I can hardly credit thi , hough I admit that she might easily lay ' under water for , euy , one hour. I'ln * power was estimated nt nlmut .wolvo horso-nower , nnd she cnulJ uaku six mile ? nn hour when suli- uerged , with n moderate pressure. I'hero was room inside for four men , mil thu appliances for working the .orpodo wore manipulated , of course , Tom within. She was a regular tor- edo ram She was well built , and : ould stand n heavy pressure , and 1 joliovo n man would bo tolerably safe " "u her for a short time below the snr- 'ace. She is a dangerous torpedo ram , nnd if she is iia successful ns 1 am told she is , would crunto terrible itxvoc among vessels , as shu could Jive under water nnd stay there sever- il hours , moving about nt will. " "When did you sco her last ? " "I have never coon her since she eft our dock to go across the river. " . Tln. LAND .o-day , iu Newark. In the course of school , in Patcrson , when I first cun- ioived the idea of this boat. 1 un- bided my plans to two capitalists of Philadelphia. " "Do you object to giving their " mines ? "I do , emphatically. " "Ono of them , " Bind the reporter , < was Dr. William Carroll , trustee of ho Philadelphia skirmishing fund. " "How the deuce did you find that out ? However , I promised to tell yon a of my movements after leaving lo ) la Mater's. The capitalists told mo to Kisli ahead with the work , which 1 " lid. I was very much amazed , when . boron to build , nt the interest mani fested in my worlc. I said it was for the Turks at ono time , and for the Ilussians at another , because I didn't L care to toll who it wns for. In fact , was for myself. When I was half through with the work I had to fight ono ol my riveters , who gave it as his opinion that the tiling wns tor the Fenians. I3ut Till ; FUNNIEST 1'AUT OP AM , was the way the British consul hung nround. But ho didn't ' find out n blessed thing. I led him on to all sorts notions ; but I don't think hegel any satisfaction , for when the boat WIS ! finished she could go under water , " see ? "It was successful ? " inquired the reporter. "Can't say , I took her from Do La Maters and towed her across the river. There I loft her for nwhilo , ami thoi : took her down to Mill creek basin. There I hail her raised and run over see that oho was all right. She looked well. " "What did you do then ? " "Well , she next appeared at For Hamilton. " "How did she got thnro ? " " Oh , I haven t any idea. " "Do you belong to nny Fenian socio , Mr. Holland ? " , "No , , sir. I am an inventor.

When ' - I had just been ground out of ni educational mill , nnd had the branc 'aesthetic' blown in each bottlo.T * UV thought of the oil country as n place chil where barbarians lived 'and where i skin smart man could mnko a fortun nut three weeks , Itisnuodlass to say eve was greatly fooled I came to tlio 25o country fresh as a daisy , nnd bcforo living in it two weeks I came to the conclusion , none thu less sure because AN was forced , that I was more fit to a team or saw wood than I was bo un oil king. I know how to handle horses , , for my father kept n nny class carriage , and there was no reason why I should go homo a failure. will not tell you of the struggles against pride I had , for you can doubt Colds appreciate my position. Sufllco vor to say I am head driller on this wol that I am striking back at misfor icino as vigorously as it bostowei where ows on mo two or years ago. "Thero had been a heavy storm ono at about midnight , and , as usua the oil country residents , I arose looked from the window to see i : ing tanks had been struck by light est . A bright glare in the sky con means mo that a larj e tank of oil was free fire a few miles distant , nnd I went 8lly ( jack to sloop , determined to go to the ire nt noon , nnd sco the first over low. You know that when n 25,000 j.irrcl iron tank of oil has been on Ire for twelve or fourteen hours the nirning oil will boil up and flow over .ho sides hist like n kettle of soap. U U o'clock tlio first grand overflow occurred. An I stood on the hill.tido , ) icking wild berries , I heard a man hout , 'She's coming , ' and saw pipe inn men runnim ; nwny from the tanker or their lives. I heard n rumbling omul inside the tnnk and didn'lknow vhat it. meant , but a few seconds after saw fully live hundred barrels of > urning oil shoot up from the tnnk ml boil over the aides , It Was tjraml toyond description , nnd 1 stood nnd vntched in siloneo. The burning oil loatod down a creek for n mile , burli ng n saw-mill , niinerous oil wells nnd anksbuildinp , nnd everything with u reach of its devastating nrcnth. When the flow had partly subsided it vns found that n second ! ? < i,000 barrel auk had boon set on lire by the over low t.f burning oil. lluiug somewhat nquisitivu 1 ventured down behind he burning tanks to gel n better low from the lower side. While try iu to avoid n pool of burning oil 1 ell into a mud-holo or sort of quick and nnd stuck fast. My utmost en lenvors were of no avail in extricating ; iysolf from the hole. 1 yelled at the op of my voice , but so great wns the onr of the burning tanks that my oico sounded weak nnd far nwny. I ( niggled until exhausted , nnd then lay back and rested. How beautiful ho grent pillar of black seemed in the Joar blue sky. Great billowa of inoko would go surging upwards nindreds of feet and float away into pace , their sombre hues turned to nowy whiteness. I thought the boys vould miss me nnd search for mo. suddenly 1 heard the sound of n innon and saw n column of llnmo nnd .moko . shoot up from one of the tanks. L'ho truth came upon mo like n bolt f lightning , nnd 1 wan nlinost strick en senseless by the thought. The Jnitcd Pipe line men were firing canon-balls through the first tank to Iraw oft1 the oil nnd prevent n second verlluw. Oread God ! what a conviction came upon mo ! The mrning oil would llow down upon up ! It'was si matter of seconds. I ricd to shout , but tbo words would lot come. With the strength of do- .pair . I struggled to get fieo. The quicksand held mo with the imp of en thousand devils. All nt once I saw u httlo stream of burning oil run ling slowly down towards mo. My : imo had come , I thought , nnd I must jo burned to do.ith by inches. The earth was dear to mo then dearer han over before and I turned { o got a look nt the sunlight nnd thu bright vorld once more. ' The horror nnd 'ear passed nwny , und I wna ready to lie. The stream of burning oil , now ; rown larger , was almost upon mo , but L did not neem to care. T saw it ns in dream. The earth nnd nil things earthly faded away nnd nil wns dark. When I came back to consciousness I was lying in my own room , with my "riends around mo. The boys said .lint in following the supposed course of the overflowed oil they came upon mo nnd rescued mo just ast the burn ing stream was about todash upon mo. was sick n long while , nnd when I ijot well 1 found my hair na white ns you see it now.
