and IL feet high, in which was located over
200 galyanlc batteries, of the Groves Pat
tern, and cash of which exploded from Il
to 20 charges by sending the electric cur
rent over the wires, melting tine platinum
wire within the fuse, exploding the fulmi-
nate of mercury which exploded the primer,
and that, by conclusion, the real charge in
the holes. When the time arrived for the
explosion the circuit closer was raised By a
cord running through pulley on gallows
over the bomb-proof. On the middle Of
this cord was torpedo, connected on each
side with the cord. To this torpedo vas
attached single wire leading from Hal
let's Point over Pot Cove and to the knoll
on the North Shore road Here the main
battery was located. aod here the wires
Of all the circuits met. A table
was here arranged, with numerous
email cups OF mercury, each being the ter
mination of positive wire above these
was fixed plate, the size of the top Of the
table, moving up and down in groove, and
from the lower side Of this the ends Of
the negative wires projected about two in
ches. This plate was held up by the wire,
of which the torpedo above referred to
formed part. When the important moment
arrived Gen. Newton little daughter, at
Hallet's Point pressed finger upon the key;
the circuit Of the single wire was closed,
the torpedo exploded, the plate above the
table at the main battery descended, the
several negative wires were carried down,
each entering its respective cup of mercury,
the circuits Of all the wires leading into the
mine were thus simultaneously closed, the
seven thousand cartridges in the mine we're
all at the same instant exploded, and the
rocks Of He'll Gate were lifted up thirty
feet above the water at high tide, to fail
back in broken fragments, ready for tine
dredge boat. Thus was consummated one
of the greatest triumphs of engineering
skill. Verify pesce hath her victories, no
less renowned than war.

PARSONS, Nan, September "A. Am
Inc most brilliant and successful political
meeting ever witnessed in Southern Kans.s
was held here yesterday. 1t had been pret-
ty we'll advertised, and At an earIv bour
the farmers and settlers began to come in
from the surrounding country from a dis.
lance Of fifteen miles. 1t had rather been
anticipated that Capt Anthony, K .publi-
can candidate for Governor, would take
this opportunity to reply to and refute the
charges made against him. This perhaps
served to swell the crowd. But in this ex-
Pectation the audience was disappointed, as
Capt. Anthony made no response to the
charges excepting in the rrmotest msn-
ner and that incidentally, while arr,ign-
ing the Democracy for their corruption
and replying TO the false and calumnious
charges made BY them against the
administration and the Republican
party. He said that he understood during
his absence from the State for the p,st
three weeks that some of their vile abuse
had been passed upon his inofiensive head
The Captain spoke in the afternoon to the
farmers and in the evening to the most bril-
liant audience Of ladies and gentlemen.
There was a grand torch-light procession in
the evening by the Hayes and Wheeler
club, which was the finest ever witnessed in
this section Of the State. The enthusiasm on
the streets and in tine Opera-hou.e was
inestimable. Hundreds went away that
could not get in the hall. Hon. WA
johnson and Judge Perkins assisted Capt.
Anthony in the speaking in the evening.
Hon. Angel Mat,e-on was yesterday nom
mated by the County Democratic Conv.n-
ton for State Senator by acclamation. In
less j. II. Crichton fully explains away
the serious charges against him, it is b.
lievsd that Mstteson will be elected by =
large majority. Hayes and Haskell will
carry the county BY large msiority.

A TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE

The gates Of hell shall not prevail
against it'd being in this case nitro
glycerine. Last Sunday afternoon at ten
minutes before three (about hali-past one
BY our time) the fifty thousand pounds
of nitro-glycerine and gunpowder which
General Newton had hidden away in New
York harbor, was exploded, the bed of the
sea was lifted up, the distractions at He'll
cate were displaced, and the rocks over
which the tides have dashed themselves in
to fury for unnumbered millions of years,
were torn from their places and rent into
fragments. For this supreme moment Gen.
Newton has been making preparations
nearly seven years, having commenced the
work OF e1cavating in 1869. First a Golfer
dam was constructed, and from the bottom
OF this shaft was sunk on the Long Island
shore, directly opposite the rocky obstruc-
tions In the river which form He'll Gate
From this broad chamber was e1cava,ed
out OF the solid rock, oval in shape, liz feet
long BY 62 feet wide. Spreading out from
this chamber, like the ribs of . fan, and
running under the river, were numerous
"headings' or tunnels. These varied in
length from ls5 to 800 feet, and left the
roof supported BY natural pillars, the result
OF the Intersections. These supports were
172 in number, each about four feet square.
and from ten to twenty feet high. The en-
tire area excavated was about three acre..
In the roof OF the rock above were bored |
about 700 holes, extending upwards from
three to eleven feet, and with . uniform |
diameter Of three inches.
These holes were filled with dynamite, in
most cases, which was employed in the
shape Of cartridges. These contained from
ten to fifteen pounds of explosives. They
were something jess than two feet in lesg,h
each, and of four different diameter, the
smallest measuring one and three-qu.rters
inches, the next one and seven-eighths inch
.. the third two inches, and the fourth two

against either Of you BY tn. State of New
York?
Second. II 30 against whom and for
what was such suit commenced?
Third. Did George 7. leave New York
in consequence of this or any other trouble
Fourth. How long was he on his way to
this State?
Fifth. Did BENJAMIN ever write to
George I. for money to help him on, Of his
troubles?
Sixth. If 20, what did you say in those
letters?
Seventh. Did George I. Anthony write
that he had no money belonging to him or
any one else?
Eighth. Did he write to Benjamin or
William Anthony that he had no money |
and that he v.s dependent on his cousin |
Dan. for his support?
Ninth. How was this trouble finally ad-
justed?
Tenth. Who furnished the money to set
lie the matter?
Eleventh. Will you state all the facts
this matter?
Twelfth. How much money or bends
