THE LAY TORPEDO. Colonel Lay recently
submitted his torpedo to a severe test in the
.Bosphorus by diseharging it over a course OF
a mile of 4 target only 60 feet long. The
path Of the projectile was crossed by three
distinct currents, Of which two flowed slowly
upward, and one strongly downward. In
addition to this the sea was very lumpy, es
.p~ccially at the functions of the currents.
Yet in spite Of the difficulties of the course,
he torpedo was steered without trouble
through the space separating the boats which
represented the target, and after passing
hem was caused to turn round and return
70 the spot where the examining committee,
lmong whom were Woods Bey, and Frost,
Hassan, and Hobart Pachas, was stationed.
In the Lay torpedo the steering is effected
by electricity transmitted through n cable,
carried in the body of the torpedo and paid
ort as it runs. Thus the line does not re-
quire to be dragged along, and forms no hin-
derance, either to the speed or the mlnipu-
lation of the projectile. The course is fol-
lowed by means of two small sight rods,
which project above the surface of the water,
and can DO seen for a mile or SO by aid of a
good glass. These are the only parts of the
apparatus LAT are visible when the torpedo
is in motion. AT rest it projects about an
inch above the surface, but Immediately it
starts it buries itself completely, and if the
sight rods be lost it is difficult to again
find them. AT night the rods carry lamps
that direct the light backward, and are in
visible to the enemy. The torpedo expert
mented upon is not tie latest pattern it is o
cisar-shaped boat 26 feet long, and "a inches
in diameter at the largest part, and weighs
when fully prepared for action, with 80
pounds of dynamite, one and a half tons.
In the more recent examples the speed has
been increasedto 12} knots, and the disturb
ance Of the water lessened by the use of twin
propellers, while the change of explosive has
been Augmented to $50 pounds.
Engineering says that the results of the
trial We're so satisfactory that a contract was
prepared between the Ottoman government
and AIessrs. Lay and Nordenfelt. At the
last moment, however, this fell through.

Tuesday evening, as r. i. Clingan, the
Postmaster at Polk City, was closing his
store, two unknown men came to the door,
and said: "Good evening"" drew revolvers
and one of them fired at Clingan. The ball
struck him in the breast, passed through
the body and lodged on the shelv-
Ing. Clingan fell dead instantly
The villains Immediately fled, making no
attempt to enter the store. There is no clew
to the perpetrators. Two strangers were
seen a short time before it occurred, by per-
sons going home from the Odd Fellows
Lodge. 1t being quite dark, no accurate de
scription can be given of the murderers.
DIR. ID. &. Hanger, who was standing be
side Clingan, probably escaped similar fate
by quickly dropping behind the counter.
Over thirty murders have been committed
In this county in fifteen years, and but one
murderer has been hanged and very few
convicted.
The whole county adjacent to Polk City
was aroused, and squads of men on horse
back spent the night securing that whole
region. There is report that the pur-
suers are close on the track of the murder
ers, two horses that they had stolen and
ridden nearly to death having been found
abandoned, and two more horses stolen
there.
1t is generally supposed that this is the
second chapter of the mysterious murder of
Stubs, the Mayor of the place, last year,
who was shot dead by masked men, who
entered his bedroom. Clingan and he were
great friends, and Clingan has been taking
an active part in ferreting out his murder
erS.
The entire population is wrought up to
remarkably high pitch of excitement. Every
man is armed. There are scouts out ON
horseback armed with shot-guns. The sub
stantial rifle and the respectable army mus
everything that has any shooting ca
pacity-have been drafted into service. In
the towns Of Sheldahl and Polk City not
saddle-horse or conveyance of any kind
could be procured. Everything was out.
Work on the farms is suspended for the
more exhilarating business of man-hunting.
There can be no doubt of the victims fate
when caught. The excited pOpulace make
no effort to conceal their intentions. They
will bring them to Polk City and hang them
to tree which OvershadOws the store
where Clingan was shot down.

Two Men Suffocated i'm q Well.

WASHINGTON. o., July Ill.
This evening, about five o'clock, while
Tom Anderson, Tom Jones and John Cub
bage were digging a well on a lot owned by
George Simpson, on Temple street, in this
city, and while Tom Jones was in the well
at depth Of about twenty feet, he struck
a vein of gas, and in almost an instant be-
came unconscious. Anderson and Cub
bage noticed that he had fallen over, and
at once drew him up to the top. He
became partially conscious and Ander-
son went down it the well. He, too, became
affected in the same way, and Cubbage,
seeing this, went down in the well to help
him up. The gas was SO strong that before
Cubbage had reached the bottom he became
unconscious, and before help could reach
them they were both dead. By means OF
ropes and hooks they managed to get their
lifelesS bodies out OF the well. They are all
married men and have families. Cubbage
is a white man and the other two colored.
The well IN a half hour was filled with
smoke and gas, and the water is bubbling
and roaring up from the bottom. Many
other wells have been dug in this vicinity,
on adjoining lots, but nothing OF this
nature has ever before occurred.

A Sham Battle.

As we emerged from the woods, we
were persuaded that now at last we
were to go into battle. And so, indeed
it seemed, as the long column halted liz
a corn-field short distance from the
river, and the pontoon trains came up,
and the pioneers were sent forward &c
help lay the bridge, and signal flags
began flying. and officers and orderlies
began to gallop gayly over the field
of course we were now about to 90 into.
our first battle.
Hair suddenly exclaimed Andy
''LoOk therer'
Looking in the direction Andy was
pointing,-that is, away to the skirt OF
the woods in our rear-I beheld bat
terry of artillery coming up at full gal
lop toward us, and making for the
river.
As the battery came near the spot
where we were standing, and could be
plainly seen, cried:
why, Andy! Don't You see? They
are wooden logs covered over with black
gum-blankets and mounted on the front
wheels of wagons, and-as sure as you're
alive, it's our Quartermaster on his gray
horse in command of the batteryr'
'Well, declared" said Andy, with
look of mingled surprise and disap-
pointment.
There was no disputing the fact
Dummies they were. those cannon which
Andy had so exultingly declared were
to drive the Johannes through the brush.
And we began at once to suspect that
the whole mud-march was only mis-
cradle ruse or feint of war. got up ex-
pressly for the purpose of deceiying the.
enemy, so that there wasn't going to be
any battle after all! Such indeed, as
we learned later, was the true state of
the case. But, nevertheless, the pioneers
went on putting down the pontoon boats
for bridge, and our gallant Quarter
master, on his bob-tail gray. with drawn
sword, and shouting out his commands
like a Major General, swept by US with
his battery of wooden guns, and away
out into the field like whirlwind, APP
parently bent on the most bloody work
imaginable. Now the battery would
dash up and unlimber and get into po--
sition here; then after an imaginary dis
comfiture of the enemy at this point.

the field and go into position there,
while the Quartermaster would swing
his sword and shout himself hoarse as
if in the very crisis of the battle.
) 1t was. then, alas! all a ruse, and
there would be no battle after all. About
nine o'clock that night we were all with
drawn from the riverside under cover
of darkness, and bivouacked in the
woods to our rear, where We were or
dered to make as many and as large
fires as we could, SO as to attract the
attention, and make him be-
lieve that the whole army Of the Poto-
mac was concentrating at that point;
the truth was that, instead of
making any movement thirty miles be-
low Fredericksburg. the Union army,
ten days later. crossed the river thirty
miles a5oUc Fredericksburg. and met
the enemy at Charlottesville Harry
