From the Cleveland Herald.

-GTt
Some time ago Captain William Card
ner, of Toledo, invented a remarkable
gun, which was claimed to be the most
ingenious and deadly weapon known to
modern warfare. Il received marked at
tention from the leading officers OF our
army and navy, and Mr.. Iardner was
complimented on all sides at his success.
Since that time Captain Gardner has made
some great improvements on his original
invention, and Cleveland company has
organized to purchase his patents for the
improvements and secure the right to man
ufacture the gun in all foreign countries.
Fer over year this company has had it's
agents abroad endeavoring to induce the
English, French and other governments to
examine the gun, and, il it proved TO be
all its friends claimed for it, to adopt it
and put it at once to practical use in their
armies. The English government more
than year ago appointed . commission Of
scientific experts to examine this gun, and
on various occasions the commission Of
some OF the most accom- plished military
men in Europe have been present at trials
to test its qualities. The gun proved equal
to every demand made upon it, and ON
Monday telegram was received from Ions
don saying that the English government
had approved the gun and would adopt it
for use in their army. The gum ia light,
can be handled by two or three men on the
field, can be carried ia the arms OF two
men, can be made with double or single
barrels, and can be made TO fire 800 shots
minute with deadly precision. Wherever
three men can 60 they can carry this gun
and work it In the field. Hence its vast
to guns that require horses and
heavy carriages TO transport them. The
adoption Of the gun by Great Britain is !
she highest compliment that could have
been paid to the inventor, and this action
,f the English government viii probably
be rapidly followed by all the leading ma
ions Of Europe. There is no doubt that
;he gun is enc of the most deadly weapons
,ver known in the history Of the world.

THR NEW YORK AND BRooKLrN
BRIDeE.--Bo Both towers of the New York
and Brooklyn bridge rest On sunken cais-
sons, which were substituted for the solid
foundation which the engineers were una
bic to obtain. Il was expected that when
the weight Of the towers came upon the
structure it would sink some. . We are
surprised said Colonel Paine, Of the On
ginesr cerps, an saturday that the tow
ers have sunk 90 little, The New York
tower rests upon tweaty-two feet Of tim-
bsrs and is seventy-eight feet under water.
In making the timber foundation there
was gain of two and half inches. by
reason of the piecea not coming close to-
gether. This we allowed to stand, expect
ing that the tower, when finished, would
sink moro than that; but now that tho
tower is completed and over four-fiftha Of
all the weight it is expected to bear 10 on
1t, we find that ii has sunk but two and
half, or but little moro than half tho unin-
tentional increase in its heighth. That ID
not near ~ much as ws expected. AT q
certain altitude we had iron spikes driven
INTO the tower st every angle to iton Oil
al sides, and We took the level from anoth-
er spike, driven as benchanark into the
sill OF window on South street. BIZ ~.
king the difference In the level Il those
spikes to-day We get the distance the tower
has sunk. Another peculiar thing i that
1t has sunk evenly all around. The Brook
lyn tower has not sunk 30 much--not over
an inch, think.

may be supposed. q good many poor pso-
pie In the town, but the citizens are, as q
whole, IN unusually favorable circumstan-'
ces, more so, probably, than the citizens Of
any ether capital in Germany or Europe.
It is asserted that there are 100 Frankfort
ers worth from $4,000, 900 to 81, Oo0, 200
each, and $50 who are worth 5000, 600 and
upward. TIE city is. one of the great
