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

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

.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

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. "
Mr. Holland declined to tell where
.boat is nt present , and no ono
sqpms to Ihiow , No doubts are , on
tortainod ; that it wns paid for by th
Fenians , and is now their property.

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.
