Sox oral new elements of doubt were inter
jected Into the Edglngton case jcsleiday.
The government , by a dozen witnesses ,
sought to ehoxv that voting Edglngton was
lot only aware that his real name was not
Cdglngton , but Perkins , In IS92 , a jear before
he applie-d for a pension for his mother , but
that he was visiting his Perkins relatives
back In Scott county In the vicinity of Green-
Held and was generally Introduced there as A
A. Perkins. A number of these witnesses
Identified the prisoner at the bar as the
young man whom they met there. This evi
dence was Intro luccd by the government In
rebuttal to disprove the testimony of Edging-
ton in his oxxn behalf that he was first made
acquainted with the fact that his name waa
Perkins by h'a ' grandmother a long xvhllo
after his arrcnt In sub-rebuttal the de
fendant's attorneys put on the \\ltness ntand
yesterday a number of people from Avoca
who sxvoro positively that young Edglngton
was In Avoca at the time these dozen wit
nesses sxxoro that he xxas In Scott county.
Many of the Avoca xxltncess had documen
tary evidence of the fact In the hhapa of
papers and Instruments that young Edging-
ton 1iad signed In thslr presence at that
time. Some of them bore dates Identical
with thai * mentioned by the Scott county
witnesses. This closed the testimony and
the arguments to the jury were begun. The
opening address vxas made by Assistant Dis
trict Atlornpy Elcher. District Attorney
Fullen will make the closing argument and
the case will reach the jury before court ad
journs tonight.

I.ocatloiu of it School Houxe ,
The people of Creaccnt township are dis
turbed about the proposed sale of a school
house In district No. 3 , and have brought
their dlftereactB Into the district court for
Battlement. The retool dlrectoru have long
had In contemplation the relocation of the
school house , and during the winter reached
a decision to sell the old building and erect
a nexv one on a site In a different part of
the township. Yesterday Charles McKeovxn ,
who claims to represent a large number of
property owners and school patrons , peti
tioned Judge Smith for an Injunction re
straining the school directors from taking
the contemplated action. The petition states
that ttio present school building located on
section 15 Is to bo sold April 1 , and If the
sale Is consummated It will work Irreparable
Injury to a large number of patrons , who
will bo left altogether without school priv
ileges. They assert that there will llo be
tween them and the proposed location of the
new building Insurmountable barriers , which
are designated as Impassable hills on ono
side , and Matlack and Honey Creek lakes
and the Pigeon river on the other three
sides , and after they overcame these obsta
cles their children would have to walk from
two to three miles. Judge Smith concluded
the showing was strong enough to warrant
a temporary Injunction and granted the ap
plication.

The rain which prevailed In this vicinity
tor the past two days developed Into a bliz
zard In vvcptcrn Nebraska , Kansas , Wyoming
and Colorado , nnd became n death-dealing
cyclone In Oklahoma. The snow accompany
ing the storm In the west had the effect of
completely stopping all traffic In that sec

roads , the Burlington , Union Pacific and the
Hock Island. Several ot the through trains
were abandoned entirely until the snoxv could
bo cleared axvny , and others were blockaded
In heavy drifts.
The only part of the Union Pacific system

NEW YORK , March 31. The battleship
Iowa , bound for Its ofllclal trial trip oft the
New England coast , reached the New York
navy yard this morning after a euccesstul
run from Philadelphia , where It will bedecked
docked und cleaned for the speed trial next
week. The contract speed requirement Is
for sixteen knots , with a bonus of 150,000 for
every quarter knot In excess ot that figure.
If Its behavior on the run from Philadelphia
to Nexv York Is any Indication of. Its povxcru
It will earn a good premium for Its makers ,
the Cramps. This la the last of the war ships
for which a bonus xvlll bo offered.
The Iowa was given three runs bekxveen
the lightships off the Flvo Fathom bank
yesterday. This Is a distance of 11.125 knots.
The trials were made under forced draught ,
with ordinary coal. The speed obtained on tha
first and second legs was 15 30 knots an hour ,
but on the third It spurted up to 1575. Cap
tain Sargcant , who navigated the ship , nnd
Superintending nnglncer IMvvln S. Cramp
were entirely satisfied with this performance.
DnSCIUPTlON OP Tim SHIP.
The lowu Is the , llrst of our so called
"sen-going" battle ships , the Indiana and

Possible co.il supply bunkers

Complement olllcers , seamen , and ma
rines -ISO
Defensively , the -ship Is n heavy bo < c of
steel , supporting still heavier nrmoicd sta
tions for her guns , about which Is built
a ship-shaped form of lighter metal.
The enemj'B shot must be guarded
against ; and with nothing- but her en
gines to drive her , every oaro must be
taken to shelter them behind thick plates
of sloe ) and tonn anil tons of coal , and below -
low the water's siufacc. And , that It
should not bo holsttd by Its oxxn petard ,
her magazines , laden with their great
masses of slumbeilng destrnctlvencss , are
housed within and beloxx * the ' .imo pro
tecting \\alls On the Iowa this shelter
consists , llrst , of a wntor-lino band of
armor seven and onc-lmlf feet wldu and
fourteen Inthes thick three feet above nnd
four and one-half feet beloxv the normal
load-line , running forward and aft. amid
ships , for a distance of 1S3 feet. The for
ward and aftct ends of this armor are
met by V-shaped , atlixxartshlp bulkheads ,
twelve Inches thick , the points of which
aio on the center line , and. vxhllo guard
ing against a foe's fore-and-aft lire , foim
the foundation for the txxo big turrets
above. On this six-sided boso to speak ,
Is laid a protective deck 01 loot of steel
two and two-thirds Inches thick , \\liicli ,
In conjunction with the four-Inch arnioi
re-enforcing- sides from the toil of the
xxutcr-llne armor to the main deck , is
equal to deflecting any shot that m.ij
strike It.
COAL BUNKHRS.
Above this protective deck nnd extend
ing to the sides , thu 1.7SO tons of coal are
so dispohcd as to yield no Inconsiderable
protection to the "vitals" below and within
the miib lvo box of btecl. From the lox\er
edges of the V-shaped bulkheads , extend
ing from side to bide and running thence
to the bow and to the stern , are two
decks of three-Inch 'Steal , the forward out-
terminating at the stem and forming the
backbone for thu ponderous ram Coffer
dams , ranging from three and one-half to
seven feet wide , on each side nnd forwaid
and aft of the vital region , lilled with
cellulose a substance swelling rapidly
when wet and capable of plugging auto
matically Khot hole's admitting wate-r , give
added shelter to the parts less heavily
armored.
Within the outer hull for a distance of
204 feet the space occupied by the engines ,
boilers and magaInes and up to a height
of about ten feet above the water-line , there
is an Inner or double bottom. The hpaco
between that bottom and thu outer plating
IH divided into many water-tight dlv IslotiM ,
thus localizing Injuries to the outer plating
admitting water. And further , but on a
larger scale , the whole of the Interior of
the craft Ib cut up Into other water-tlpht
compirtments , that injury to one may not
affect the others ; while tcieat pumps , con
necting with each , will Hood them or free
them ns the occasion may require.
The niotlvd power consists of txvo sets of
triple-expansion engines , each In Its own
water-tight eompirtmem and each actua
ting onei of the1 two sixteen-foot propellers
These engines have cylinders of thlrtj-nlnp ,
fifty-live and eighty-live Inches respectively
and a eommon stroke of four feet Steam
at a working pressure of IW pounds , Is Blip-
piled by live large boilers In four separate
xvatcr-tlgfit compartments , and , under the
lulluonrv of gn at revolving fans their llam-
Ing mouths glare with a blinding fury ,
which must be met by a well-nigh ceaseless
shovelliiK of coal.
Into great condensers the exhausted steam
Is turned , and In a moment's time , con-
vet ted Into hot xxivter ready again for the
boilers ; while evaporators transform salt
water Into steam for condensation to meet
the moderate loss within the tanks. Tnus ,
troublesome salt scale is formed , not In the
boilers , but within an apparatus susceptlbfu
of easy cleansing.
Eighty-odd auxiliary engines electrical ,
Ktcam and hydraulic , perform morn than a
hundred services , and leave to the crcxv
hardly more than the tax of simple direc
tion. A great Htcam windlass handles the
weighty anchors with rapid ease. Tic boats
and heavy stores uro raised and lowered by
two great cranoH. The rudder under fte-im
control , may bo moved from side to side by
only n llnger's pressure , and that against
the rush of tons nnd tons of water.
AIIMAMUNT OF TUB SHIP.
The offensive phase of the ship consists
principally of Its guns and toipulo dl-
chargcs. The main battery Is composed of
four twelve-Inch and elirtit tight-Inch
breccfj-loadlng rlflm , mounted In pMr In six
Hlchbom , Mrbettq turrets ; the secondary
battery consists of MX four-Inch rapid-fire
Bund , while twenty six-pounders , four enc >
pounders and two sailing guna constitute
an auxiliary force. ,
The four 4xvclve-lneh guns arc housed In
two balanced barbette turrets , and unlike
the turrets on the other battleship built , can
bo turned from side to side without listing
the vessel. Thece great Runs poke their
long nockB out through walln of hardened
steel fifteen Incftos thick , vxhllo the men
thnt control the machanlsm" " that turn the
turrets through their arc of 270 degrees ,
load , dcpre s and elevate the guns , arc -Oicl.
tcrcd snfelv behind the protection of bar
belles seventeen Inches through. Centered
upon a fee on either Hide , the four treat
guns could send forth at n Mnglo dlsrfinrgc
a maps of ? a ton nnd a quarter of hardened
Bteol Impelled on Its errand of demolition
by 1.720 pounda ot powder. The might of
these guns can best bo realized when ono
knows thai they have a innge of something
over twelve miles and In their ( light nro
nbo ! to nltaln a height nearly equal to that
of the highest mountain In the world. Sent
nt ono at point-blank ranpo nnd at n dtf-
tnnco ot u mile , the awful velocity nnd
poxvcr of such weapons Is too much for any
thing but llcurcs and formulae ,
rrotn the four smaller turret * , five Inches
thick , also of hardened steel , tiring through
aics of 170 degrees nnd revolving within
Imrbettcs tlnce Inches heavier the elgut-
Incli rlllcs can tire Bhplls of 250 pounds , capa
ble of pisslnp milk-formed through eight
Inches of steel 4,000 yards away.
POWnilFUL HATTKllinS.
Four of the four-Inch rapid-lire guns are
pinned on the main deck , sheltered within
armored sponsons four Inches thick and
of good , tough nickel steel , while the txvo
ipmalnlng are mounted up In the after
superstructure deck , where they command
an exttiulcd field of artlon. Tluflo guns
have whnl In known us the Dashloll rapid-
lire biccch mechanism , by which ten nlmcd
shols can bo seemed In a minute. The six
and one-pounder guns and the ( inllliigs are
mounted on the bildgeii In the superstruct
ure , nnd up In the military tops of the
blnglo mast.
Krom two places on either broadside tor
pedoes can bo launched while the men In
charge rest behind live Inches of Ilnrvey-
Izcd steel. The torpedo Is the common
leveler of nil classes of naval vessels , and
from the lightest lo the lieu lest. Is viewed
with a ftar that Its unfailing dcath-stiokc
warrants well.
Just behind the forwaid twelve-Inch tur-
ict nnd boloxv the pilot hoti'-r. Is the con
ning lower , within the nairoxv i-omp iss of
which and behind whoso encircling xvalls
of ten-lneh steel the captain dhects the
mighty poweis at his roimnnnd and guldps
his Bhlp In ne-tlon. Within that miriow re
gion U cenleicd the directing brain fotce
of the entile ship , nnd lending below like
branching nprve-s Ihrough an aimored
splno of seven-Inch steel , go vxlres and
pines nnd speaking tubes on their dlvcr.s
mls-slons of Instuietlon to every Important
pirt of the erafl There bpfoip him the
captain reads the speed of his ship , knows
to an Inch the direction of the i udder , and
the turns of Hie gicat revolvingbercxxs ,
reads unsxxcird the oidcrs that he gave and
knoxxs that they me minded , follows the
hand that minks In yards the distance of
the Hearing foe , kuoxxs the readiness of
eveiy part of that great throbbing m ibs
below him ; and , Ihrough Ibo tun row silts
In the walls about him. xxatelics his enemy
and guides the good ship Into battle.
Up on the mast a code of red and white
lanterns Hashes signals by night , while on
the bildgcs great search lights send their
broul beams ovei the elaik wntois and
guard against the stealthy approach of
dangerous ciaft. On txvo small stands one
on the forward nnd one on the after bridge
rangc-llndcrs nro placed to be centered
on the nearlng lee , while beside each gun
*
station a dial murks the distance of the
approaching ship. Kleetriclty does a mani
fold service , and , besides lifting the charges
from beloxx and ramming them home In the
gient guns , does watchful bcrvlco In every
compni tment of that gloat oiganlzation , de
noting the prc'enio ot lire or c\tra walcr
and marking Hie legion of Hie threatened
danger.
The high freeboard forward thnt Is ,

Many physicians for a long tlmo supposed
